Elizabeth felt as though her stomach had just caven in. She felt sick and her legs gave out.
catch me as I fall. say you're here and it's all over now. speaking to the atmosphere. no one's here and I fall into myself. this truth dragged me into madness. I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away.
She couldn't believe it. She wouldn't believe it. "no..."
Will and Gillette carefully supported her between themselves and walked as quick as possible towards her father's house, the giant elegant house that she grew up in, that she got kidnapped by pirates in, along with so many other memories. The journey to that house was not an easy one. Her legs buckled beneath her four times, as though they were made of gelatin. She could not bring herself to realize that her father could be dead. She passed out.
When she woke up again she was standing in front of the house. Someone was trying to talk to her but she couldn't hear much.
"We're going to bring you in now, dear" She nodded, not knowing exactly what was going on. Will and Gillette carried her through the front door and the scene she saw next was one she would not soon forget.
There were papers scattered everywhere, covered in blood. At least one drop on every paper.
"Wh-what are all the p-p-papers?"
"Looks like love poetry."
Blood was standing in puddles on the floor as though there had been a shower of it. The blood became darker and thicker as they walked to the center of the room. Flies buzzed around everywhere, more and more as they walked. Elizabeth gave out a shrill, terrified scream.
There, lying in the midst of all the blood splattered papers was her dead, bloody father.
"Stabbed twice in the heart."
Hot tears began streaming down her face. Her vision was blurred but something seemed wrong. She blinked away the tears and then she noticed. Elizabeth was crying so hysterically now that she could barely get the words out of her mouth.
"Wh-wh-where-" She paused to wipe tears away and clear her throat. "Where's h-h-his-his..."
"I think she's asking 'where's his head?'"
She let out another shriek and fell into Will's arms. "yes..."
Gillette looked around the room for help but none came.
"We haven't found it."
I'm frightened by what I see but somehow I know that there's much more to come.
"Will, let's go home. I can't take this anymore..." she said in a very small voice.
"Miss?"
"Yes?"
"Since you are the Govenor's only remaining family, it is up to you to decide where and when he shall be buried."
She looked at her father's headless bloody body then back at Gillette. "I know in my heart that none of you would like to be buried in such a state as this, am I right, Gillette?"
He gave a groteque smile as he looked at his feet. "No. I doubt anyone would."
"Well then, neither shall my father."
"Shall he be burned then?"
"Yes..." she said as silent tears slid down her cheaks. "Then have his ashes buried next to my mothers grave. As for when, as soon as possible. He would have wanted that."
"Yes, Miss. I think he would too."
She turned and Will followed her out into the slowly darkening sky.
"Do you want to wait until all this has quieted down to leave?"
"Yes...let's only wait a few more days though."
The rest of the walk home was spent in reverent silence. As they turned onto Royal Court she looked up at their house and began to cry again. Her father had bought them that house. Now he would never get to see them spend anymore time in it. He was gone and he left tragicly.
They reached the front steps and walked up them. Will placed his hand on the door and turned to look at Elizabeth before going in. "We'll just get a good night sleep tonight and then figure out what we're doing about the trip tomorrow, alright?"
But Elizabeth wasn't listening to him. She was staring at the now open door that Will had opened while he was talking. She was staring into the room beyond the door with her mouth hanging open. "Er- Elizabeth? Is -er- something wrong?"
But Elizabeth just stood there, too scared to move. Tears brimmed her horror filled eyes as they stood fixed on the room beyond Will.
imobilized by my fear and soon to be blinded by tears.
Will, still looking suspiciously at Elizabeth, slowly turned his head to find the source of Elizabeth's rigidness. It didn't take long to find it. Staring up at him from the middle of the room was the Govenor's head, surrounded by papers just like in his house. The Govenor's normal happy shining face was distorted into a face of shere terror. And who wouldn't look like that if he was about to be stabbed twice with a knife and have his head cut off? His bright blue eyes were now dull and dry and his mouth was open as if yelling.
"Wait...what's this?"
Something was sticking out of the Govenor's mouth. Will bent down cautiously, as if suspecting to see his eyes move, and pulled it out. It was a piece of paper, folded into a neat square. He unfolded it and held it out so Elizabeth could see too.
"Surprise!"
Elizabeth screamed.
"Oh my God!"
Will dropped the paper and backed up against the door.
"You said you told the Commodore we were planning a surprise party?"
She nodded, now shaking and crying hysterically. "Surprise..." she muttered, holding her head in her hands and shaking.
Will looked around at the clustered papers on the floor. They were all exactly the same except for the slight differences in handwritting. They were all a poem, one single poem written over and over again on different pieces of paper. He started reading it out loud.
" 'tis done, 'tis over, there is no 'you and I', only 'Elizabeth' and only 'James', two separate beings from each other, once in love, now no longer.' -this guy's gone mad if he thinks you actually loved him!"
Elizabeth walked over to Will and he pulled her close to him.
" 'There is no 'we', only 'her' and 'I', the 'us' is gone from our vocabulary'-"
"Well it was never in mine." she said weakly to the paper.
" 'Our world together is no more. 'tis done. 'tis over. 'tis dead, like my heart, I do not feel happiness nor regret, only sorrow and loneliness, I do not know if I shall love again, if I do it shall be a miracle, for I loved you more than anything, and you had to let me go.' -look the handwritting changes. it's sloppier now- 'but now, 'tis not done. 'tis not over. your father's dead, like my heart feels without you, and many more will be, come back to me Elizabeth, and the madness stops-, it's done, it's over.' "
They stood there for a while, holding eachother. Elizabeth burried her head in Will's shoulder and he began stroking her hair.
"I want to leave tonight." she said her voice still a little shaky. She lifted her head and looked into his eyes.
"I was really hoping you'd say that." he said and kissed her on the forehead.
An hour later, just before leaving, they found a nail and nailed a piece of paper to the door.
"Surprise!"
I can stop the pain if I will it all away. If I will it all away!
