♥♥♥♥
He stood on the balcony early that morning , looking over the edge at the gorgeous view of the ocean below him. Sighing, he leaned against the rail, and closed his eyes...thoughts running thru his mind.
"Jack?"
He turned around to see her walking out of the inn's door. He smiled at her as he felt he gentle arms wrap around his waist, "What, love?"
"Why do you have to go?" She whispered in a sad voice. He smiled again, this time sadly, as he turned to face her. Her emerald eyes pierced his own dark ones as he said, "Darlin', I have to."
She snuggled into him as he wrapped his own arms around her shaking body as she cried. It broke his heart to see her like this, but he had to go.
"Once you get the Pearl back-"
He smiled as he rested his head on top of hers, "-once I go to Port Royal, commandeer a ship, and get my ship back-" He put a hand under her chin and gently lifted her face up to his, "-I'll come back for you. And then you and I shall, together, sail off into the horizon."
She giggled as she said, "You never cease to amaze me, Cap'n Sparrow."
He kissed her lightly, then resting his forhead on hers, "I never cease to amaze myself, love."
"Love? Darlin? Elle!" She opened her eyes to see Jack's face just inches from her own. He smiled when she opened her eyes and said, "Guess the past few night's 'ave caught up to ye."
He sat back on the rock and said, "Davy found the cave. We can go in whenever you two are ready."
"Will and me?" Elle asked in a tired voice. Jack smiled that familar smile as he shook his head, laughing.
"No, darlin'. You and Lizze." He took her hand, and carefully raised her to her feet. Wrapping an arm around her leading her back to the rest of the 'crew' at the campsite (and ignoring her shocked expression) he said, "I'm not as clueless as everyone would like to believe-"
Elle, smiling, cut the captain off, "Will told you, didn't he?"
Jack stopped smiling, staring off into the distance really unfocused, as he said in a completely different (almost defeated) voice, "Well-"
"Jack." Elle said, laughing, as she stared into the face of the handsome pirate.
He made a 'pfft' sound, and said, "Yes. But that's not the point." Elle laughed again as Jack continued to lead her down the path. They were quiet for a moment, leaving Elle in her thoughts about Jack...and why Liz seemed to be so quiet, before Jack said, "You sure you can do this?"
"Do I have a choice?"
"No, but I just wanted to ask." Jack replied, smiling.
"And what if I said 'No'?"
Jack shrugged as he inhaled deeply, once again, not really looking at anything. Then his eyes focused on hers as he said, "I'm probably not going to be with you when, you know...do whatever it is that you're going to do. I thought that Will would be the better person to be with you..." Once again, his eyes became unfocused, then he said in the sweetest, most caring voice that Elle had ever heard him use, "Darlin', promise me one thing."
She beamed up at him and said, "Anything, love."
He laughed at that, before saying, "Promise me that whatever happens up there..." He pointed in a random direction, for want up a better direction. "...in the bloody cave, you know." She laughed again, waiting for him to continue, "Promise me that you'll be careful."
"Am I ever anything but?"
"Ah-" He continued to walk in front of her. "I'm not going to answer that because that was a recitical question."
"Rhetorical." Elle corrected him as she caught up to him.
"Yes, yes. That's what I said, love. A retroetical question. One that needs no answering because both parties understand the question that is left unanswered. A relorical question." Jack smiled at her as she laughed again. He knew she was scared, and was only trying to make her laugh. To cheer her up, so that she wouldn't be as scared.
As they neared the campsite, Jack let go of his hold on her hand, and put it back around her shoulder. Will, Grant and Davy looked up at them as they walked. Will tried to smile at her, but she could tell he was scared.
Will didn't scare easily, so when he was scared, well, Elle knew that she should probably be scared too.
Jack, noticing that his 'recitical question' joke had worn off, gave her a reassuring shake and said, "Are we ready, gents?" They all nodded. Jack smiled and bowed playfully to Michelle, " M'lady?"
"Ready as I'll ever be." She managed to whisper as Will came to stand beside her. Jack and Will exchanged glances for a moment, before Will smiled and nodded at Jack. Jack returned his smile, and said to his own father and Davy, "We shall be on our way then. Miss Swann turns 21 in two hours. In two hours, well...you all know."
The five of them walked up to the where the paths split. Jack, Grant, and Davy all stopped and looked at Elle and Will. Elle's heart began to bang against her chest as it hit her that this is where they were splitting up.
Jack put a hand on Will's shoulder and said, "Continue up the path, make a right turn when you see the old, wood bridge that crosses the small river. There'll be a door just up the hill, go in it, and I'm sure Elle can lead you the rest of the way."
Will nodded as Jack said, "Be careful, Turner." Jack took Will's tourch and touched it with his own, lighting it up.
Will took his now lit torch, and smiled as he looked back up into Jack's eyes and said, "Only if you do the same." Jack smiled at him, as Grant walked over to Michelle and hugged her, "You take care of yourself, love. Alright?"
She returned his hug and said, "I will." Grant kissed her cheek as he pulled back. He smiled down at her and said, "Make your mother proud. I know you will."
She smiled at Grant as her 'father' walked over to her and said, "I love you."
She felt all the years of tears she tried to keep in, bubble to the surface as she looked into her dad's eyes. She hugged him and said, "I love you too. So, so much." Davy closed his eyes as he held her, never wanting to let her go. When he eventually did, he gave her a slight nod, and looked over at Will, "Master Turner?"
Will looked up at his future 'father'-in-law. Davy nodded and said, "Take care of my daughter." Will smiled, and said, "I will. I always will."
Davy smiled, and then looked back at his daughter, "I'm proud of you, darling. Always know that." And then, without another word, Davy walked up the path leading to the cave, preparing to be the distraction so the others could get into the cave safely.
Elle and Will started up the hill that Jack had directed Will to go up, but Elle stopped momentarily. Will turned around and smiled at her, and nodded. Elle turned around and ran back down the path into Jack's arms. Startled at first, he laughed and wrapped his arms around her as she buried her face in his chest.
Jack pulled back, just slightly, and pushed a ringlet out of her face. When he did so, he noticed the tears rollling down her cheek. "Don't cry, Ellie." He said, in that same voice he had used for the first time just moments ago. He wiped the tear away and said, "Everything will turn out alright. I promise, love."
"But, Jack. What if it doesn't?" Elle asked, in a voice she barely recognized as her own, it was so shaky.
Jack kneeled down so that they were face to face, and said, smiling, "It will be. When have I steered you wrong before, love? Hmm?"
She smiled and said, as tears rolled down her cheek, "Was that a rhetorical question?"
Jack laughed and brought her back into his arms, "Be careful, darlin'. Don't know what I'd do if I lost you."
She smiled against his strong chest, and said, "I love you, Jack."
He chuckled softly and said, "I know, love. I love you too." He pulled back and said, "Go. And the next time I see you, I think the Brethren Court would like to induct your properly as Queen-"
"-King."
Jack wrinkled his nose, and said, "We've honestly got to change that." He looked back down at her, and said, "You take care of yourself, love."
"You sound like your father."
"Oh, God help us all." Jack muttered to himself. Elle laughed and Jack leaned down and kissed her cheek. She smiled as he pulled back, and hugged him once more, before running up the path to meet Will. She turned back once more, before Jack gave her a mock salute. She returned it, and he followed his father down the opposite path.
She went up to go stand next to Will. He took her hand, and said, "Are you ready?"
She smiled up into the face of her fiancee, and said, "Let's go get this over with, Captain Turner."
He smiled, and together, the two of them walked further down the path preparing for the final meeting with Robert 'Maelstrom' Swann.
♥♥♥♥
"What do you mean 'she got away'?" Maelstrom hissed thru gritted teeth at Sao Fang. Fang had been massaging his neck, but stopped when Maelstrom's scarlet eyes pierced him. He couldn't find the words. This man brought him back to life, and Fang knew that he could easily take it back.
"You let my daughter get away from me?" Maelstrom strolled over to him. Sao Fang was not a man that usually got scared, but staring at Maestrom was what he had imagined staring at the devil would be like. It was that awful. Barbossa, who had been standing in the corner with a trembling Eric, watched on, clearly knowing what was about to happen.
"Sir, I didn't-"
"Oh, ho ho. No, no." Maelstrom spat as narrowed his flame filled eyes. "I told you to bring her to me, but what did you do? You let her get the hell away. Do you know what could happen to me if she gets away?"
Sao Fang didn't answer. He only stared at him. Barbossa rolled his eyes as he awaited the punishment. Barbossa knew that he was easily Maelstrom's favorite. He always did what he wanted him to do, exactly how he wanted it to be done. As for Fang? Well, two strikes and-
"I told you. I TOLD YOU!" Maelstrom gripped Sao's neck and said, "Her death will be yours."
Eric closed his eyes as the scream that could be heard thru all the seven seas rang out. It was possibly the worst and most horrific sound he had ever heard. The final, dying scream of Captain Sao Fang.
When Eric opened his eyes, he saw a 'statue' of the late captain. His screams still echoing throughout the cave's upper rooms. Barbossa's yellow-toothed grin was obvious as Maelstrom's scarlet eyes shot over to him, "Bring me back my daughter."
"Alive or dead?" Barbossa asked him with a laugh.
Maelstrom returned with an evil laugh of his own, and said, "Alive. I want to kill her myself."
♥♥♥♥
"What the hell was that?" Elle heard Will say from behind her. She stopped walking up the stairs that led to the cave's opening and shrugged as the dreadful scream died out. Will glanced over at her, and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Yes." She said, nodding. Her heart was pouding so hard that it heart. But maybe it wasn't just the fact that her heart was beating so hard that was making her chest hurt. She was extremely sick, and she knew it too. But she had to do what she sailed for months to come here and do.
"Where did Jack say to go?" Will asked her once they got inside. Elle shrugged and said, "I don't know. But I do know where the upper chamber is." Elle took Will's hand and led him up the spiraling staircase. She heard shouting, and pulled Will into a small alcove. They leaned against the wall, hoping they were out of sight..and apparently, they were.
"You traitor!"
Davy fell to the ground as Barbossa put a gun to his head. "You lying, backstabbing little squid...you'll pay for it."
Elle made a move to scream, but Will put a hand over her mouth just in time. He felt something wet hit his cheek, and realized that she was crying. Very badly.
He pulled her into his arms, and awaited the sound...
When it rang thru the air, Michelle collapsed on to the ground, with Will following behind her. She sobbed quietly on his shoulder for what seemed like hours. "Will..."
"Darling-" He said, pushing a tear soaked curl back. A rage entered her eyes when Barbossa left. She ran out of the alcove to her dying father. "Daddy-"
He smiled weakly, "Darling, don't cry." She rested her head on his blood-soaked chest, avoiding the blood of course. "Here..." Davy reached into his pocket and handed her a gun. She took it and looked at him in shock. He coughed and said, "When I was working for him...Maelstrom...he let us in on a secret. You shoot him in the heart, he'll die...that's the only way to kill him...kill him for me."
"I will." She said, kissing him. "Daddy, I love you."
He smiled as he raised an arm to her face, "Darling, I loved you from the moment I first saw you. I'm just sorry that I couldn't walk you down the aisle." She smiled, "I know! I have a healing charm."
"I'm immune." He said, regretfully. "I was brought back once. I can't be brought back again. I love you. More than you'll ever, ever know." He closed his eyes and sang under his breath:
"Beating heart locked inside the chest.
Haunted pasts, and no love to last."
Michelle began to sob uncontrollably as she heard him sing those words. She lifted her head off of his chest, wiing her eyes, as she smiled down into the face of her only father. She closed her eyes, taking both of her hands and covering his as she sung in that gorgeous voice, even though it was shaking...
"You are gone, but still with me..."
More tears filled her emerald eyes as they both sang:
"And love shall never die."
He smiled, "Darling, go."
"Daddy, no! I'm not leaving you!" She screamed at him, shaking her head. "I won't leave you."
"You only have two more hours, sweetheart. Only two. You've got to do this. I value your life more than I do my own." She raised a hand to her mouth, stiffling her cries, as he said that, "Please, for me."
She reluctantly nodded and said, "I love you. I always will." Something went off in her head. She smiled to herself, Will had seen that look in her eyes before. He knew that she was up to something. And something inside him let him know just what it was. She smiled up at Will, before leaning down and saying, "Daddy? Do you fear death?"
He smiled, letting a laugh escape his lips and saying, "Taking over my old job, huh? Shouldn't you be leaving that up to your fiancee?" Will smiled at that as he came to stand beside Elle. Davy was silent for a moment, but then said, "After all the damned things I've done..." He nodded and said, truthfully, "...I do fear it."
Elle looked up at Will. Will, who knew all along were Michelle was going with this, nodded and retured her smile. He kneeled down beside his fiancee and said, "That's good enough for me."
"Really, Will?" Michelle asked him with a look of hopefulness in her eyes. Will nodded and said, "Yes, it is."
He looked down at Davy and smiled, "Welcome aboard the Flying Dutchman, Mr. Jones."
Davy smiled to himself as his eyes became heavy. With a deep breath, he said in a breathless voice, "I'll be waiting for you, Michelle. I'll be waiting for you."
His hand went limp in hers, and she laid it on his body, carefully. Will rubbed her back as she laid her head on his chest, not crying, because she knew that her dad was a man of his word. "Thank you, Will."
He kissed her head and said, "Anything for you."
She smiled at him, and the two of them walked away from Davy's body. She hid the gun Davy had given her in her Asian dress that she still wore. She pulled her head back into a tight bun and said, "I'll kill him."
Will hardly recognized her voice as she said that. Michelle heard a laugh inside her head.
Ah, finally warming up to this idea then, Princess. I'll let you do the talking, then I'll come out and scare him a bit. Then-
-together we'll finish this once and for all. It's been nice working with you, Liz.
As it was with you, Elle. Ready?
She laughed and said, "Whenever you are, Lizzie."
"Why do I not like the sound of this?" Will asked with a groan as he followed Michelle up the stairs.
Elizabeth, who had temporarily taken control of Michelle, said, "Because. It's both of us in one."
"Ah." Will said, shaking his head. "That would be the reason."
"Where's his room, Elizabeth?" Will asked her a minute later. Elizabeth shook her head, letting Michelle take control again, "She doesn't know where it's at. But I do. Fang captured me and took me up here. Him and Barbossa."
Both Will and Elizabeth could hear the pure hatred in her voice when she said 'Barbossa'.
Save for the battle, darling. Come on, get us there.
She saw the door, and clutched the gun. Will smirked and said, "Wait for the opportune moment."
Elle rolled her emerald eyes, and tucked the gun back into her dress. Then, taking a big, deep breath, she pushed the door open. "Will, stay out here. I'll let you know if I need you."
"But, Elle-"
"When you hear me say-"
Balickylicky!
Michelle wrinkled her nose and said, "Elizabeth, what?"
Oh, come on! Just do it.
"Fine." Michelle said with a shrug. "When you hear me say balickylicky, come on it. That'll be our signal. Same with you, alright?" Will smiled and leaned over and kissed her, "Be careful."
She smiled as she pushed his curls back and said, "Love, am I ever anything but?"
He rested his forhead on hers and said, "Rhetorical question?"
She smirked, "Naturally."
Save it for the honeymoon, Ellie. We've got a job to do.
With a wink to Will, she pushed open the doors that led to Maelstrom's chambers.
He was standing by the window, looking out. Michelle couldn't see it, but Maelstrom was smiling as he heard the doors shut. "I wondered when you'd show..." He turned around, and tried to slice her with his sword, but Michelle (who already had hers out) blocked him. She smirked, "Maelstrom Swann? Most feared pirates in the seven seas?" She laughed and said, "That's the best you've got?"
He came at her again, still, she blocked him. After a few more moments of this, a familar voice rang out:
Can I come on out now?
Be my guest.
With a white flash, Michelle instantly transformed into Elizabeth. Her now brown eyes narrowed as she said, "Robert, I told you-" Maelstrom backed up as Elizabeth advanced on him, "I told you that I would come back for you...well, sorry to disappoint you, but I'm a woman of my word."
"Sorry to disappoint you, Elizabeth." He spat at her, as he disarmed her rather quickly. "But I'm a man of my word, and I told you that I would be the rightful KING!" He would have stabbed her, had another sword not blocked it.
"And I'm a man of my word." Will said, pushing Maelstrom into the corner. "And I promised to keep her safe." He looked down at Elizabeth as he pulled her to her feet, "Whether she be my dead wife or my fiancee..." Will paused momentarily and said, "I never thought I'd say that."
"And you'll never say it again." Maelstrom and Will began fighting. Elizabeth backed up, waiting for Will to say something. When he did, he yelled, "Mich-erm, Elizabeth. See that chest over there?"
Elizabeth turned around and saw the chest sitting in the corner. "Yes."
"Throw it out the window."
She spun around and said, "Will, are you mad?"
"Probably." Will said, ducking one of Maelstrom's attempted blows. He blocked Maelstrom's sword and said, "Just do it!" Elizabeth looked at him for a moment, before running over to the chest and picking it up.
"NOO!" Maelstrom tried to run over to Elizabeth and grab her, but Will pushed him to the ground. Then, Maelstrom turned and stabbed Will in the stomach. Elizabeth gasped and nearly dropped the chest when she saw this, but Will just smiled and pulled the sword out and said, "The word 'immortal' mean anything to you?"
"Captain William Turner."
"In the flesh, mate." Will said, fighting him once more. Elizabeth ran to the window, and opened it up. She glanced down to see Jack and Grant standing below her. "Hey, Lizzie! Long time no see, love."
"Jack, what are you-"
"Balickylicky." He said, grinning. "Classic, darling." Jack said, with a gold-tooth smile. "Now, if you don't mind, dearie. How about throwing the chest with the amethyst down to dear ol' Jackie, huh?"
Elizabeth, remembering that she had the chest in hand, smiled and threw it down to Jack. She was about to say something when she heard Will yell, "ELIZABETH!"
She turned to see a sword coming at her head. Knowing she couldn't die, but Michelle could, she ducked and cringed at the sound of sword scraping against stone. "YOU BIT-"
Will disarmed him, and said, "Want to finish that sentence?"
Maelstrom laughed, and said, "What are you going to do? You can't kill me! I'm immortal!" A clicking sound rang out, and he looked down at his chest to see a gun pointed at his heart. Elizabeth smiled and said, "Elle, darling? Would you like to do the honors?"
And in one swift motion, (something entirely strang happened) the ghost form of Michelle came out of Elizabeth's body and took the gun from Elizabeth. Keeping it at his heart, she smiled and hissed, "Sorry, Daddy." The gunshot sounded just about as eerie as Sao Fang's cries did. Blood poured out of Maelstrom's heart as he fell to ground, screaming.
"I won't let you get away with this! I WONT!" Those were his last words, as he took his final breath.
Outside, Jack glanced at his father and smiled. Then up to the window, as if they could hear him, he said, "Good job, mates. Good job."
Back inside, Will glanced out the window and smiled as all the stone began to disappear. Elizabeth smiled too, but soon Michelle's ghost was sucked back into Elizabeth's body.
"Eliza-"
"She's dead." Elizabeth said in a whisper. "She died. The possession was too much for her." Will gaped at her in complete horror. Elizabeth smiled as a tear rolled down her cheek. She took his hands in hers and said, "That's why I'm alive. This was suppossed to happen."
When Will didn't say anything, Elizabeth said, "But I'm not going to let it happen. My time is over. Hers isn't. I'm going to die for her."
"But-"
She put a single finger over his lips to silence him. Then she said, "Know this, alright? I love you."
She leaned up and kissed him. When she pulled back, a tear rolled down Will's cheek too as he whispered, "I'll always love, Elizabeth. I love you so so much."
She laughed and said, "I know you do."
She closed her eyes, and backed away. With a smile to Will, light over took her. Another flash of light came, and in a split second, Michelle reappeared where Elizabeth once was. She collapsed in Will's arms. Elizabeth's ghost appeared beside them. She looked different now...almost like an angel.
Michelle wearily opened her eyes, and said, "Elizabeth...thank you."
"No, Princess." Elizabeth laughed. She looked up at Will and smiled as she said to Elle, "Thank you."
Michelle threw her arms around her. The two girls stood there hugging each other for a long time, before Elizabeth said, "Come now, Princess..." Her voice was shaking, "Don't cry, alright? We may be seeing each other sooner than you think so."
Elle smiled as Elizabeth hugged her once more, "Congratulations, Your Highness." Was the last thing that Elizabeth said, before walking away from the couple and standing by the window. With a smile to them both, she disappeared in a ray of light.
When she was gone, Michelle jumped into Will's arms, laughing. Will smiled, picked her up and twirled her around.
"We did it!" Michelle giggled as Will rested her on the ground again, not letting go of her fiancee. He smiled, pushing back a curl, and said, "We did." He leaned down and there, over the dead body of her father, he kissed her.
They heard a moaning sound. Michelle tore her lips from Will and said, "What was that?" Taking hold of her hand, Will walked over to Maelstrom's table and picked up an Asian styled bottle. The two put their ears to the bottle, and sure enough the moaning was coming from inside it.
Michelle smiled and placed her hands on the bottle. A light radiated out of her hands, and a cloud of pink smoke came out of the bottle. A few minutes later, Tia appeared out of the smoke, and said, "Damned Maelstrom. Puttin' me into a bottle like I be some kinda geenie-" She broke off when she saw his body laying on the floor. She smiled up at Elle and said, "Good job, darlin'. He got what be comin' to him."
Elle jumped over her real father's body and hugged her mother. Tia tossed her the key and said, "Open the bottom drawer, darlin'." Michelle did as she was told, and pulled the Dead Man's Chest out. She looked up at Will and smiled. Will smiled too, and felt as if everything was alright once more...
But that feeling soon went away, when a startled Michelle said, "Will? You will have been on land for seven days at midnight!" Will glanced over at her, not quite understanding what she meant. But when he did, it hit him hard.
"Damn." He grabbed Michelle's hand, and with Tia, the three of them ran down the stairs and out of the cave. When they ran past a startled Jack, all Will said was, "I HAVE TO GO!"
Michelle couldn't help but laugh as the three of them sped thru the trees and everything. Even though they were running as fast as they could, she kept a firm grip on the chest. She continued laughing when they reached the Dutchman with minutes to spare. Once they were on deck, Will turned to her and said, "What's so funny?"
"Darling!" She said, gasping from lack of breathing and from where she had been laughing. "You could have just materialized on deck instead of running." Will opened his mouth to speak, but closed it. He turned back to her smiling face, and pulled her to him.
She was about to kiss him, when another voice rang out. She turned to see the owner of the voice. Jack bowed, this time sincerely, and said, "Your Highness." He pulled something from behind his back. It was the crown that went with her Asian dress. The dress and crown Elizabeth had worn.
She smiled as she walked over to him, and kneeled down so that he could place it on her head. When she raised back up, he kissed her forhead and said, "I'm proud of you, love."
"We all are." Grant said, coming up from behind Jack, and embracing her. Letting her somewhat go, but keeping her arm around her, Grant said, "Come on, Jack. We need to celebrate."
"And what would we be celebrating, Mr. Sparrow?" Michelle asked smiling. Grant smiled down at her and said, "To you, Your Highness, for being newly crowned-"
"Queen." Everyone cried.
Grant laughed and said, "Yes, yes. Queen. For you being crowned Queen, to Jack for getting the amethyst and becoming ruler of the sea." Elle looked over at Jack and smiled, "-to you and Mr. Turner for getting married! We never celebrated that! And-"
"To being alive." Came a voice from behind them. All of them turned to see who was talking. But Michelle already knew. Tears were already forming in her eyes when she saw him.
She gasped when she saw him, for now, he was in his human form. Not the squid-like pirate he had been before. In death, he was a human. She smiled as he said, "I told you I would wait for you."
She pulled out of Grant's grasp and jumped into her father's arms. He laughed and said, "You'll never know how proud I am of you. I love you, Ellie."
She looked up into her father's real piercing blue eyes and said, "I love you too, Daddy!"
"Aw! Happy endings!" Jack cried, wrapping an arm around Will and pulling him close. Ignoring Will's pleas and lectures of 'invading personal space', Jack said, still holding on to Will, "Drinks all around."
Will rolled his eyes, and managed to get out of Jack's grasp. Davy kissed Michelle once, before saying to Will, "How is it that I'm now a crew member on the ship that I used to be captain of?" Will smiled as Davy said, "No hard feelings? Start over clean? I can't hate my son-in-law after all." He smiled and gave a nod to Will before finishing with a: "Captain Turner."
"No 'Master'?"
Davy shook his head and said, "No. No master. Just captain." Jack walked past Davy, trying to force a smile, and gave Will and Elle some rum. Elle sat hers down on the railing, but Will took a sip of his. Elle eventually gave in and took a sip, before putting it back down.
"Turns out, William, that Miss Swann was right. Your father was on that island. He's aboard the Pearl now. I told him that you wanted some alone time with your fiancee." He smiled and said, "Good job today." And with that, he was gone.
Will smiled, and turned back to Elle. The two of them were silent for a moment, before Elle said, "I love you." Will didn't even have a chance to say it back to her, because she pulled him down and kissed him more passionatley than she ever had before.
The two of them stood on that deck, kissing, before Will pulled back when a green flashe shot thru the night sky. He smiled as the two of them watched it, because it signaled two things. That Will was still 'alive' and the captain of the Dutchman, and another.
Will kissed Elle's head as he pulled her close to him, and said, "Happy 21st birthday, darling."
She smiled as she watched the green flash disappear into the Caribbean night and rested her head against Will's strong chest as she said, "Why, thank you, Captain Turner."
