Disclaimer: I own nothing

Hey all, I've made some changes to the final, or one of the final, scenes of the movie. Hope you like this so far! Next chapter will be longer.

Review! Noflames.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Regina walked into the cabin, hesitantly. If she knew anything about her dreams – she knew they held some truth. He was going to die today, and he might never know how she felt. She wasn't sure which was worse; him dying, or her never telling him how she felt. Not wanting to find out, she walked over to him, and tilted his face towards her. He had been staring out the back windows of his cabin, wondering what his next move would be.

His brown eyes met her blue ones, and for a second she thought she saw fear flicker across his eyes. Then it was gone, and all that remained was her fear of the future. "There's something that you need to know, before all is said and done today."

He nodded, as if he knew what she was going to say. She swallowed, and proceeded, "We've been through so much, and I need you to know that I have no regrets – not a single one."

"Nor do I." He responded, but his voice was flat, void of all emotion.

"I also need for you to know that no matter what happens today I love you." She continued, "And I'm not asking for anything in return, just for you to accept this." Regina released her hold on him, and dropped her arms to her side, waiting for him to tell her to leave. To tell her that he couldn't feel the same, that he was obligated to keep things the way they had been.

But they had been nice, even though they led her here. He helped her find out what in this life would truly make her happy, when nothing else could. She, in turn, showed him that he was good enough, even when he didn't ask her too. They helped each other when they were both too adamant to request it. It was a bond then they created when neither was looking. And now, just as this is all about to go down, she realizes her ardor for him. Fate had a way of messing with your head, it would seem.

In Regina's mind, she pictured him walking away, or just explaining to her that it could never be. She never thought that he would take her in his arms and kiss her warmly, as he did. When he released her, he looked back into her eyes, "I hope that speaks for itself." He whispered, before turning and walking towards the door, "It's time to go, luv."

With that, he turned on his heel and marched out of the cabin, leaving her there in aw. Before she could process it all, the ship gave a giant lurch – The kraken.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One second, she had seen him rowing away, and the next, he was back on the ship. However, his return was not necessarily a good thing, and she knew his fate was sealed. What Regina did not know, however, was her sister's intentions. "Regina, Elizabeth, let's go."

Regina followed Will into the longboat, assuming that Elizabeth was behind her. As she sat waiting for Gibbs to climb down, she noticed the strange look on Will's face, and looked up just in time to see the same sight as him.

Lovely, his fiancée and her secret delight, in a deep kiss. What Elizabeth would later refer to as a coup de grace, or kiss of death.
