Belowdecks

Elizabeth gasped in sudden pain and pulled her hand back.

"I'm sorry. Blacksmiths hands, I know they're rough." Will apologized softly.

"No-I mean-yes they are." Elizabeth quickly replied as Will continued to bandage her hand. When she spoke again her voice was filled with longing. "Don't stop."

Will leaned forward suddenly.

"Elizabeth." He whispered, his hand making its way carefully down her neck toward her chest. He needed her. He wanted to save her and he had. He was overwhelmed by the love he had been hiding as their lips threatened to touch. She found herself coming to meet him, both of them forgetting for only a moment the barrier that divided them.

The spell was broken when Elizabeth placed the cold medallion in Will's hand.

"It's yours."

Will held the coin in his palm, the skull grinning cruelly back up at him.
