Song: Animal I Have Become- Three Days Grace
"Will it's not what you think! He tripped and I—" Will could only stare. He wouldn't look at her, only through her, as if trying to figure out the last three years. He glared at Jack, then Elizabeth, then turned on his heel; almost slipping in the marble- white sand.
I can't escape this hell
So many times I've tried
He could not believe it. Elizabeth could have easily been forced to kiss the bloody pirate. Poor excuse for a man. God he just wanted to rip that damn bastard into shreds. But he couldn't, no one would expect it of him. He was tired of being so dignified all the time. Back in his teen years had that happened Jack would be at his feet kissing his shoes and begging for mercy.
But I'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
He had matured since then. Walking along the beach he was suddenly drowned in shadow. He looked over at The Pearl floating lazily at the dock. He climbed up the mast, not caring if anyone saw him, and jumped on deck. He saw a crate of rum…
I CAN'T CONTROL MYSELF!!
He picked it up and slung it as hard as he could at the sail, loving the sickening RRRIIIIPPPP sound it made as it ripped evenly from top to bottom. The next thing he saw was an axe, picking it up; he gazed lovingly at it as the possibilities of how much heartbreak he could bring to Jack weighed in his hands. The blade gleamed when the light hit it.
So what if you could see
The darkest side of me
No one could help me tame this
Animal I have become
He swung, chopping off the steering wheel. He swung, slicing through the floor boards. He swung, smashing every barrel of ale he could find. He swung over and over and over again until everything was smashed, cracked, splintered, or completely destroyed. His breaths came in angry rasps, his arms ached, a searing sting seared through his temples. After ridding of the axe he shimmied down the ship and walked along the ocean until he got to the holes and mounds of sand that used to be where Jack and Elizabeth were. He needed to talk to Elizabeth.
Help me believe
It's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
"Elizabeth!" He called, cupping his hands around his mouth, "ELIZA…! Oh there you are." He walked towards the beautiful woman perched on the big pink rock on the edge of the beach. Before he could say anything to her she said "Will, we need to talk." He waited for her to continue. "Will, what you saw on the beach today…" Will smiled to himself, he knew it, he just knew it. I was some kind of accident, or she was forced, or… "Will, I am sorry, but…but…" She looked away. Will stood there, confused. "What, love?" a tear escaped her eye and slowly began its trail down her cheek. He moved to wipe it away, but she jerked away from him, as if his touch would have harmed him.
I can't escape myself
Will waited, hurt, for her to tell him what was wrong. "Love, you don't have to apologize; I know you didn't mean to kiss him." She started crying harder. "Will that's not it, I did mean to kiss him. I wanted to apologize because…..I love him" Will felt hard, his heart hardened, his stomach hardened, and his head hardened. "Well, it doesn't matter to me Elizabeth, wanna know why? I SAID DO YOU WANNA KNOW WHY!?" Elizabeth was racking with heart broken sobs now. This wasn't Will, he was hurting Elizabeth and he wanted to stop. He couldn't though. It was as though some outside force was inside him, wanting to kill Elizabeth with words.
So many times I've lied
"I NEVER LOVED YOU!"His ears rang from the force of his screaming. His words bounced off the oceans, the skies, the sand, and off of them. It was as though Mother Nature was saying "Did you hear that? Will Turner never loved Elizabeth Swann! Tee hee hee." Elizabeth stopped crying, and could only stare at him. She was about to say something when Jack came running down the beach in nothing but a pair of breeches. Well, and of course his hat. When Jack reached them Elizabeth hungrily stared at his body. Will glanced down at his own body; not half as chiseled as Jack's. Maybe that's why she was leaving him.
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself!!
Will stood there, watching Elizabeth and Jack stare into each others eyes. Elizabeth's eyes full of tears, Jack's eyes full of want. Jack reached up to wipe one of her tears away, and she closed her eyes as if drinking in his touch. "And another thing, Elizabeth, not only do I not love you…but I utterly despise you, you disgusting minx!" He walked away. He did not hate her, but that raging monster was still inside him and he wouldn't come out.
So what if you could see
The darkest side of me
No one could help me tame this
Animal I have become
Someone help me believe
It's not the real me
Somebody help me tame
This animal
