A Civilization Gone with the Wind
A/N: Okay, this thing is finished! No, I didn't mess up, this is really what this chapter is called.
The surf broke against the shore again and again. Elizabeth wished her life could be as undisturbed. But it over. She wandered along the shore. It was very empty, but to her it was full. Full of memories and times that were over forever.
It seemed to her that the Black Pearl would come around the bend in the shore at any second. But she knew that it never would. She had known for a week already. One day, she woke up with something missing from her heart. It was Jack.
She knew he was dead. He would never come back.
It was all over. The age of piracy, the time of adventures and glory. The gold, the riches. It would never return.
Everything was over, gone, never to return. Rumors of piracy were getting rarer and rarer, and now they were gone forever. Her whole world seemed to collapse. No Will, no Jack.
There was no one to comfort her now. The five-year-old boy and the three-year-old girl back at her house were the only thing worth living for, worth dying for. Will's children. She would live for them and only them.
But there was no escape. Her world had turned upside-down. And it was empty. She turned her back to the desolate beach, to the old memories and forgotten days, and went home along the sand flooded with early morning sunlight.
She turned for one last look. And for a second, just a second, it seemed that the Pearl was sailing towards her, black sails billowing, a symbol of something that was gone forever. And Will was walking with her along with shore, brown hair billowing, a gentle, loving smile on his face. Elizabeth shook her head. She was seeing things that would haunt her for as long as she lived.
