Title: Elizabeth: Responsibility
Rating: K+
Pairing/Character/s: Elizabeth (Hints of W/E and J/E)
Spoiler/s: DMC
Summary: Elizabeth has to deal with the men in her life.
A/N: I don't really like Elizabeth all that much, beyond the fact that we share a name, but as I was writing this I think I got a clearer picture of her mind. So I'm slightly more sympathetic to her. Even if she does stillgrate on my nerves.


Elizabeth: Responsibility

She made a choice and now she has to live with that choice.

Even if living with it is near agony.

Thunk

The sound of the knife hitting the wood echoes throughout the small room. It makes her wince and lower her head against the sound, against the silent accusation.

She killed a man.

She killed a friend.

She killed Jack.

Thunk

She can't even look him in the eye.

And suddenly she's not sure if he could forgive her, if he knew, if he doesn't already know.

Because as sure as she has killed Jack, she's killed a part of Will as well.

Thunk

They are going to be married.

Have a comfortable life with three lovely, perfect children and a bit of excitement here and there to keep them on their toes.

And she wonders if that's just a fools dream now.

Because he's an honest, decent man.

Thunk

And she's not sure if that's what she wants anymore.
