Elizabeth dreamt of him that night.
It wasn't a nightmare like she was expecting; or in other words, what she thought she deserved. At the very least.
It's not that she regretted her actions at all. She did what she had to for the greater good. Killing Jack, that is. Kissing Jack, well that was something else entirely. Elizabeth did feel remorseful for kissing him, for what greater purpose had it served? Besides fulfilling her own lust and desire, of course. And perhaps satisfying the final wish of a dying man, but she didn't let herself dwell on that idea for too long.
The dream woke her up from an already restless sleep. In between tears of sadness mixed with tears of joy, she managed to gasp, "What a strange dream..."
She said this to no one in particular, as everyone in Tia Dalma's hut seemed to be fast asleep after the day's adventures. True, the dream was a bit odd, but if Elizabeth would just admit it to herself, the dream also happened to be quite pleasant.
It involved Jack of course.
His braided hair. His pirate hat. His rough hands. His dirty yet rugged looking face. That stupid compass. And last but (certainly) not least, rum.
There may also have been some waffles involved.
Yes, quite a strange dream indeed. But her illusion was still much better than reality. In her dream, she was free. Free to be a pirate, like she always wanted. Free to be with Jack, who was alive and well and perfectly in love with her.
In reality, she had killed the man whom she desired most. Not Will, but Jack, as the compass so smugly liked to point out. In reality, she had only a taste of her illusion. A single kiss that she stole from Jack's lips, still lingering on hers.
The only thing she regretted, is that she had wanted another taste.
A/N: This is the first fic I've written for 30_angsts, which I just joined tonight. Yeah I know, I'm a sucker for a challenge XD. And also, the J/E ship was taking over my brain, so I had to do something about it. They're just so perfectly angsty. Gah! Questioning morals+Teh ANGST+Undeniable Chemistry = the Hotness.
