********************************************************************


It was finally dark in the world between worlds, and with the twilight, came the souls of those that had passed on at sea. First the bodies, which in itself was disheartening, then....came the boats.

When Elizabeth saw a boat containing her father, she was overcome with joy. "It's my father!! Oh, we've made it back!!! FATHER!!" she screamed joyfully. Captain Jack Sparrow watched at the boat bearing Governor Swann drifted closer to the Pearl, and felt his heart sink. He stepped up close to Elizabeth and quietly whispered,

"Lizzie.....we're not back." Jack watched hopelessly as the meaning of his word's sunk in. Dawning horror spread across Elizabeth's face.

"No," she said softly before screaming loudly to her father. "Father please look here!!" Governor Swann seemed to come out of his dead and looked up at his daughter.

"Elizabeth....are you dead?" he asked, looking up at her. She shook her head no. "I think...that I am," he concluded, staring up at his beloved daughter.

"No...no you can't be. Let me throw you a line!" Elizabeth called back to him, grabbing a rope from Marty to throw at her father. It landed across his boat, but he made no effort to grab it.

"I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you," Governor Swann told his daughter as the rope slipped over his boat. "I'll give your love to your mother, shall I?" he called back as the Pearl sailed on. Elizabeth screamed and tried to climb over the railing to reach her father, but was held back by William. She sobbed openly against his chest, but struggled in his grasp. William looked over to Tia Dalma.

"Is there anything you can do?" he asked quietly, hating the fact that the woman he loved was in pain.....even if he wasn't sure if she loved him back anymore. Tia Dalma shook her head negative.

"Him at peace," She said shortly. William looked down at Elizabeth.

"I'm sorry," he whispered. Elizabeth broke out of his arms.

"Don't touch me!" she hissed out, tears still streaming from her face. She fled from the others on the deck and retreated below, to her hammock, where she cried until she was asleep.

Many hours later, when everyone else was asleep, she was shook gently awake. She looked up into the face of Captain Jack Sparrow. He held out his hand to her, and she took it, getting up from her hammock and following him up to the main deck. Most of the crew was below, so they were pretty much alone on deck. Jack let go of her hand, not really sure what to say, because he knew that she was grieving terribly.

"Lizzie...I," he began but she shook her head to silence him.

"Just...hold me...please Jack," Elizabeth whispered, stepping close to him, laying her head against his chest. Jack stood there awkwardly for a second before wrapping his arms around her tightly. He felt her shoulders shake as she started to cry softly. Jack held onto her, letting her cry for her father.

"Lizzie...you remember what your daddy told you?" Jack asked gently to the sobbing woman. "He said...that he was proud of you, which is more that I ever got from my father...so you should be rejoicin...cuz no matter what you did...your daddy loved ya," he whispered into her ear.
She looked up into Jack's face, tears still streaming down her face, and then leaned up on her tiptoes, to press a light kiss against his surprised lips. It was nothing more then a chaste kiss, nothing like the one they had shared earlier. She pulled away quickly and laid her head on Jack's shoulder.

"Thank you," she whispered. The two stood there for who knows how long, him just holding her, as she stared aimlessly into the sea. No words were needed between them....none at all.
