SaveroftheSun: Yeah, I'm going to, but should I do some after that?
S.: Thank you and I might.
keiraliz: I know! But she will find out! Poor Will. #hands him a tissue#
callieandjack: Have a tissue! I hate this bit, it's too sad!
Nelle07: :( She tricked him. He's too selfish to stay of his own free will. And it would be stupid to coz they could get away.
Fairy Skull: I hate Liz in this part of the movie, usually I lobe her.
Valor: Keep t-t-t-talking t-t-t-to him! Pass it-t-t- on-n-n-n-n-n!
bmdrose: Tres sad! Ta, I might.
klutzygal12: My sentiments exactly. WAH!
"What are you doing?" I asked, fighting to keep the tremor of fear from my voice. They stared at me with pale, drawn faces and blank, resigned eyes, but nobody spoke. Panic gripped my heart like an icy cold hand. I repeated my question, "What are you doing."
Still there was no reply. Ragetti even began slowly rowing away. It was so surreal. This couldn't be happening. I felt sick. It was like my worst nightmare was happening right before my eyes and there was nothing I could do to stop it. But I would stop it, I had to. I stood up. The others watched my warily. If they weren't going to do anything about this then I was. I wasn't going to sit back and watch this happen.
"Jack!" I shouted reaching for the side of the Pearl. My fingertips brushed against the rough wood. Elizabeth grabbed my arm and pulled my sharply away. She tried to force me to sit down. What was she doing? As I tried to fight her off Will grabbed me too. I was getting really anxious now. If they'd just let me go, I could get Jack and both of us would be back before the Kraken had even moved. Why were they being so stupid?! I began to get more desperate as we got further away from the Pearl. I started screaming for Jack over and over again. He had to hear me, he had to. I shouted for him to come back the rising desperation I felt made my voice crack. He didn't appear at the side of the Pearl,the deck remained empty. I wanted to see him. If he would just come then I could talk some sense into him. He didn't have to do this. It was stupid. We could all make it.
The gap between us and the Pearl had widened considerably. I saw the green tentacles of the Kraken begin to grip onto the hull of the Pearl. My fight became more frantic. I may not be able to save him, but I wasn't going to let him die alone.
"Let me go!" I pleaded with Will and Elizabeth. I didn't have time to save Jack, but I still had time to swim to the Pearl. "Please! Let me go to him!"
"But, Isabel, you'd be killed!" Elizabeth's grip on my arm tightened.
"I don't care! I'd rather die with him than live without him!" There was more truth in my words than any of them could ever know, but still they didn't let go. The harder I struggled, the harder they held on. I kept calling for Jack. Why couldn't he hear me? Why wouldn't he come? I needed him. I needed him more than I'd ever needed anyone in my life.
The Kraken had a grip on the Pearl and we were getting further away with each treacherous stroke of Ragetti's oars. I wasn't going to give up on Jack. Even when I could see the Kraken's entire body was wrapped around the Pearl I continued shouting and fighting for him. I chocked over a lump in my throat as the Pearl and the Kraken began to sink beneath the waves.
I didn't want to watch this. I didn't want to see Jack and his ship sinking to the crushing oblivion, but I couldn't seem to tare my eyes away. None of it felt real, but the cold, hard truth of it all was that it was. This was really happening. The Pearl was sinking fast. There was no way Jack was still alive. As the Pearl and the Kraken disappeared beneath the foaming waves all the fight left me. A horrible silence carried out across the water. I knew the others were still holding onto me, but I couldn't feel it. I couldn't feel anything. My whole body was numb.
I didn't even cry, not at first. I just stared at the empty patch of sea where the Pearl had been sailing, along with her Captain. I had never thought that Jones might win, not even when Jack had showed me the Black spot on the palm of his hand. I hadn't been worried then. I always assumed the Jack would be alright. He'd get out of it. He usually did. The idea of losing Jack was unfathomable and completely impossible. Jack Sparrow wasn't supposed to die. Not now, not ever. And yet it had happened. I'd lost him. He was gone.
I really was going to be sick. I could feel myself shaking all over. I sank back down into my seat. I no longer had the strength to stand. Feelings started to return, but they didn't come slowly. They hit me all at once like a huge wave of pain. The empty space where my heart had once been was aching, but it had gone down with Jack. It had, after all, always belonged to him.
I loved him.
I closed my eyes against the sudden flood of tears, but when my eyes were shut Jack was all I could see. I was such an idiot! Why had it taken this for me to realize that I was in love with Jack? Why had I been so stupid? All the time I spent with him all the stupid arguments and it had taken his death for me to realize. And now it was too late.
My tears were falling thick and fast now. I hugged my knees to my chest and hid my face. The others tried to comfort me, but I pushed them all away. I didn't want to talk to any of them or see them ever again. There was really only one person I wanted to see, but he was gone. Dead. I would never again look into his deep brown eyes that could hold my gaze with no effort from him. I would never again feel the warmth of his embrace or hear his voice, his laugh.
And the last thing I'd ever said to him was… a lie.
