The battle went on and on and on. It was getting fiercer every second and many a good men had fallen already. The rain did not cease, in fact, it only grew stronger. All were getting tired, restless and desperate. But none more so than Elizabeth Swann.
It had been almost two hours since Will had left—at least it felt like it. When Elizabeth had that rare but short moment free of fighting enemies, she would glance at the Dutchman for any sign of Will. But the rain made it difficult to see anything so eventually, she gave it up.
Will had brought me to the beach, the beach that we had spent quite a lot of time in as children. He had refused to let me step on the painful rocks and rough sand and insisted on carrying me in his arms. Not until we were on the part of the shore where the water softened the sand did he put me down.
"Will, why did you take me here?" I asked lightly, tossing her head back in a laugh.
Will looked over to the horizon, with the sun just about to set. The sky was blue, with some orange, purple and pink. It was perfect. His warm brown eyes gazed at me beautifully, that spark in his eyes steadily growing. "I brought you here because this place is special to us."
I remembered those summer nights when Will and I would sneak down here and just lie under the blanket of stars. We would talk, mostly about our families and our feelings—although avoiding one. We'd even play around, splashing in the water and chasing one another. But Will was still Will and refused to do anything more, calling me only Ms. Swann. "And what is our purpose here?"
He smtender. I felt my heart thumping louder and faster and I didn't even know why. Perhaps, it was being so close to Will, or the look in his warm, sincere eyes.
"I love you, Elizabeth Swann," he murmured. And I knew it too, because of that love in his eyes and the warmth of his kisses. I loved him. "And I would want to spend the rest of my life with you—if you would have me, of course."
Tears spilled from my eyes as I tried to think it over. I loved Will. And here he was, presenting me with a beautiful silver ring encrusted with simple diamonds that sparkled in the now dim light.. Right then and there, I knew he was the one, and that he would never stop loving me as I, him. "Yes, Will!"
I have never seen his features light up as quickly as he lost me into an embrace and eventually into a passionate kiss. We kissed until the sun had set and it was dark. Everything was perfect, everything was where it was supposed to be.
"Mr. Gibbs! How are we faring so far?" she shouted over to him. A slick rope caught her eye as she kicked a man in the ribs and stabbed him with her sword in the back.
"Not very good, Ms. Swann. Two ships against one and us at the losing end!" Gibbs replied loudly.
Guilt came over her at the thought of all these pirates, fighting and dying, all because of her. She wanted to fight, and they didn't, so it was her fault if they never got to see the people they loved again. And perhaps, that was her cruel fate too. "Gibbs! I'm going to the Dutchman, to find Will."
There was no need to tell her how utterly dangerous that was; her head had told he so. But that tny voice in her heart pleaded with her to go, that she needed to see her beloved, that she must see Will. And this time, Elizabeth Swann listened to her heart.
She ran to that rope, hung on to it as her life depended on it and kicked herself in the air. Her eyes were closed, but soon, she landed safe and sound on the Dutchman's deck. Anxiously, she searched faces for Will and even more frighteningly, the bodies sprawled on the deck. She didn't know what to feel: scared that Will wasn't there or relieved he wasn't dead—at least that she knew of. Those thought sent chills done her spine as her drenched shirt had.
Once she realized that she was just standing there, gawking over the corpses, Elizabeth moved as quickly as possible to another direction in search of Will. She spotted no familiar face as she went about, killing a few pirates of the Dutchman along the way. Where was Will? And Jack too?
I kinda already have the whole plot in my head but I still need some suggestions…..I'd really love it if you could give me one. Oh and I absolutely welcome criticism, really.
