Lovely. In all it angstiness.

That was a turning point for Elizabeth, her childhood gone forever, her illusions shattered.

Well done!

Agreed. One of the best-written scenes in the trilogy, IMO.

Thanks for the comments.

Perfect interpretation of that scene.

All he need do is give life to her delusion, and, like him, she'll become her own undoing.
Entire volumes said in that one line.

Nicely done!

Entire volumes said in that one line.

There seems to be a lot unsaid and left between the lines in that scene (one of the reasons I like it). It was fun trying to fill in a bit.

Thanks for reading.

Oh wow! This was powerful. I actually gasped out loud at that last line. Such an original take on that moment, but very believable and in character.

I love Jack trying to be heartless and seek revenge but to have his own heart 'rubbed raw' instead.

Fabulous!

As painful as the truth was, he really could have done her some serious damage with a little creative encouragement, I think. I suspect the thought at least crossed his mind.

Thanks for the gasp and the feedback. :D

Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you.

I felt so sorry for her in that scene; it's hard enough when anyone you know dies, but a parent is especially wrenching. And I liked that Jack was somber for the moment - that they all were, really, even Barbossa. Good explanation of how it could've happened that way.

Yeah. She really took a steep emotional plummet there.

And I liked that Jack was somber for the moment - that they all were, really, even Barbossa.

Honor amongst thieves, if only for a few moments.

Thanks for reading.
