So Cold

Disclaimer: I don't own POTC or the song So Cold.

Crowded streets all cleared away
One by One

Katrina let her black hair fall down out of its bun. She walked up the stairs to the prison were they were keeping her love. She walked past the guards and walked down the steps to the cell where they kept her beloved. Captain Jack Sparrow.

Hollow heroes separate

As they run

"Katrina" Jack called to her from his cell. She walked quickly down the row of cells.

He held his hands out of the cell and she grabbed a hold of them. She looked down at the hands that she held.

"Your hands are cold" she said in a voice barely above a whisper.

You're so cold
Keep your hand in mine

"Katrina I don't want ye ter come to me hanging."

She shook her head and said, "I will come."

"No! Promise me Katrina" his voice broke into a cough.

"I can't just not come. I love you" she kissed his hands.

"Promise me!"

Wise men wonder while
Strong men die

Katrina promised him that she wouldn't show up and she left the prison. But promises are always broken and she wasn't about to let him hang in front of people who didn't give a damn about him.

You're so cold

Katrina stood at the back of the crowd as they brought Jack from the prison to stand on the platform of the gallows. Jack scanned the crowd making sure Katrina didn't show up. He smiled she had kept her promise, but something in him wished she did show up so he could see her one last time.

Show me how it ends it's alright
Show me how defenseless you really are

Katrina stood with the hood kept over her head; she didn't want him to think badly of her. The man spoke clearly and loud.

"Captain Jack Sparrow" the man spoke.

Jack smiled; they had finally got it right.

Satisfied and empty inside
That's alright, let's give this another try

After the man read off all his crimes he finally said, "And for these crimes you have been sentenced to be, on this day, hung by the neck until dead. May God have mercy on your soul."

The drums sounded and Katrina made her way to the front she stopped at the front. Jack looked down at a pair of sage green eyes and knew Katrina was here for him.

"Katrina" he whispered before the bottom dropped out of the platform.

If you find your family, don't you cry
In this land of make-believe, dead and dry

Katrina stepped forward tears in her eyes as he swayed back and forth in the wind. The rope didn't snap his neck and he was still alive. Katrina ran up the stairs to the platform and pulled out the cutlass she kept under her cloak and sliced the rope. Jack fell to the ground and the guards ran forward.

You're so cold, but you feel alive
Lay your hands on me one last time

Katrina ran to Jack and knelt down beside him. He looked up at her and she grabbed his hand in hers.

"You'll be okay Jack" she whispered.

"Ye broke yer promise" he said hoarsely.

The guards surrounded them. "Leave them!" yelled a male voice.

Katrina looked up to see the governor of Port Royale.

"Governor Turner" Commodore James said. "He is still a pirate and she tried to save him is that no crime?"

"It is but Captain Jack Sparrow is a friend. He will be granted clemency."

"Aye sir" Commodore said.

"Thank you sir" Katrina whispered. "But he is fading fast we have to get him to a doctor."

Show me how it ends it's alrightt
Show me how defenseless you really are

Katrina stayed with Jack day and night waiting for him to wake up. He never did and she still stayed by his side.

"Katrina dear you must get some rest" the doctor said.

"No."

The doctor nodded and let her be. Katrina held his cold hand in hers.

You're so cold, but you feel alive
Lay your hands on me one last time

"Luv" Jack whispered. Katrina looked at him.

"Aye Jack?"

"It's alright."

The end!!!
