Last chapter.

It took a few weeks for everything to get back in order. The fire had damaged much of the shop and a lot of the wood had to be replaced. Whatever had been made had to of course be remade due to fire damage and the pocket watch had been destroyed as well.
Katherine was placed in the jail at the fort and seemed to have broken. All she would do would be to sit in the corner and "talk" to Will who never left her side apparently. About a week after she arrived, Katherine hung herself in her cell.
Will really had his work cut out for him. He had to go back through all the week's orders and redo them. And since no one knew that or cared that Brown was a bit too fond of the bottle, he had to do them all by himself. He was mighty upset when he found out that half his shop was burned but he was grateful that Will was alright. Though he seemed to be slightly tipsy when he said it, he did give Will a hug.
Things were slowly going back to normal. Though the scars on the outside began to heal, it was the inner ones that would remain in place for the time being. Having been involved in an event such as this had a life altering effect on the three friends.

Margaret's family did not take it too well with the news that their only daughter had been attacked by that mad woman. After that, they were not sure who they could trust in the community anymore. They made plans to take the first ship available back to England. Margaret was heartbroken that she had to leave Will and Elizabeth behind but she promised to write everyday in the hopes that nothing would change.

Elizabeth's father now made sure to keep a closer eye on those who worked under his roof. He personally apologized to both the Gilmore's and Will and offered them anything so as to return to normalcy hence finding the proper ship to take them away.
For the first few weeks afterwards, Will would wake up at night to the most horrible nightmares. He was sure that Katherine's face would haunt him till the day he died.

After one such dream, he decided to get dressed and take a walk. It was a bit chilly but with the night air and living by the ocean it wasn't really surprising. Will put his hands in his pockets as he walked but couldn't get over the feeling of having someone's eyes on him.

He quickly spun around, only to have Elizabeth stumble and fall. "Elizabeth, are you alright? I'm so sorry. I got nervous all of a sudden thinking someone was watching me and..."

She got up, wiped the dirt off her nightgown and smiled. "It's quite alright Will. I take it you couldn't sleep either."

The two of them began to walk together.

"No, I just can't seem to get that day out of my head," he said quietly.

Elizabeth looked to Will and put her hand on his shoulder to stop him.

Without saying another word, she wrapped her arms around him and gave Will a hug before kissing his forehead. "Everything will be fine Will. It'll just take a little time," she said before walking off.

Will sighed before placing his hand back into his pockets. He felt something in there that hadn't been there before. He pulled out...a brand new pocket watch. It had been engraved it seemed so he held it up to the moonlight to read "For Will Turner - My Hero."

A smile graced his lips and looking once more in the direction that Elizabeth went in; he began to trek back home where his bed awaited him.

Hope you enjoyed the story (even though it kind of got a little crazy near the end)
