Chapter One: In a Heartbeat

She cried for him as her eyes fogged over. She tried to hide the fact that she loved him. She tried, but that captain was always what she wanted. Will Turner could no longer reach her.

Despite the fact she loved another man, he never hated her. He tried at least being angry with her, but he was too much in love to have even a drop of hatred for her.

The man she loved was dead so maybe he couldn't hate her while she lived a life of misery and regret. He could only feel sympathy and love for her. Hatred never dared touch the name Elizabeth.

Tia Dalma gave the mission and without a single hesitation the crew took it. They knew they had to save their Captain. And so for a year they sailed until finally they reached the dead waters. They fought undead creatures and faced all types of danger until at last they saved Jack Sparrow.

-------------------------------------------------------

I'll never forget the day when we finally saved that captain of ours. Elizabeth ran into his arms kissing him repeatedly while she begged for his forgiveness.

The quick glances of pity from my fellow crewmembers made the image more real. I can even remember the way Jack turned his eyes towards me. His face fell knowing how much pain I felt.

No one knows how much ache took over me. No one knows that each night as the memory of him holding her too close replays in my head I still feel that torment.

-------------------------------------------------------

Captain Sparrow went on with his life. He of course brought Elizabeth along to make sure she could feel the waves underneath her.

Jack never regretted what happened. Elizabeth had to convince herself she didn't regret breaking Will's heart. But in the end they were in love. In the end they sailed the seas together.

Will on the other was not so lucky. He regretted everything, regretted promising things he couldn't up hold, regretted never truly gaining closure, regretted letting him take her away.

If someone gave Will another chance he'd take it. Erase every part of his life with out any uncertainty. He would relive a life that he couldn't regret. He would start over; become a man someone would be proud of, but no fairy godmother came to him. He was stuck with the memories he would gladly choose to forget, he was stuck being alone and hearing voices that no longer existed, and feeling like the whole world was coming down on him for the one thing he left go of, her.

So would he do it over again?

In a heartbeat.
