Author's note: this came to be randomly and I decided to jot it down. Enjoy and all that. Oh yes, spoilers for DMC for those who have not seen it.

Plot: As Elizabeth battles her guilt and mourns Jack, a peculiar thing happens…

Disclaimer: I don't own anything…Disney does.

I killed him, I killed him, I killed him…

These were the words flowing through Elizabeth Swann's head as they watched the Kraken drag the Pearl under the ocean's waves.

The guilt was hitting her and hitting hard, causing tears to sting her eyes and then trail down her face.

The last few minutes flashed through her mind, like a nightmare. The kiss, the sound of the chains clicking into place around Jack's wrist, his knowing smile, his last word to her…

Pirate.

The sobs hit her now, wracking her shoulders. Nobody made a move to comfort her, as they were all lost in their own grief. That was, except for Will, who looked angry.

Damn you, Jack, Elizabeth thought while she cried, you made me fall in love with you with that simple word.

And that was the truth. The moment that word had escaped Jack's lips, he'd taken her heart. It was nothing like the fairy tale feelings she'd once had for Will. This was all-consuming, freedom giving, hot as fire love.

I guess that compass was right after all…

Once they reached Tia Dalma's, the silence that had plagued them on the longboat seemed to grow worse. Nobody said anything, only sat down in defeat and sorrow over the loss of Jack. Some sipped warm rum, hoping it would help but knew it wouldn't.

Elizabeth's eyes were empty, devoid of any happiness. Only grief and guilt were there.

Tia Dalma noticed this and felt her heart go out to the woman.

Bending over, she spoke in Elizabeth's ear a series of words that Elizabeth didn't understand.

"You shall find 'im again." Tia Dalma said in an eerie voice before Elizabeth felt her world go black.
