Before PotC: RPG

Regina was quiet. She wasn't sure how to answer. "All the trouble I've caused you and Father."

Will watched her leave and turned to Norrington. "Commodore, how bad is it?" he asked concerned. "How'd you find out."

Her mother sighed. "If you caused any trouble, it was only because we weren't letting you be true to yourself." she said, patting Regina's shoulder.

"Oh, its very bad. She's been told tat she may die. The Govenor told me." he answered, watching Elizabeth hurry away. "Pretty girl, isn't she?" he said before walking away.

Regina smiled. "Why can't all mothers be like you." she asked hugging her mom just as Elizabeth walked in.

Will's eyes fell as he we went back to work. He had to clear his mind and there was only one way to do that.

"Mother? Whats wrong?" Elizabeth asked hurriedly.

~I think maybe Regina should take her outside and explain it to her... I'm to lazy to do that whole explaing thing with the mom again, you know?😄~

Regina smiled. "Excuse us, Mother." she said pulling Elizabeth outside and out of ear shot. "Mom's ill. The doctor she may not make it through the week. He also said it was something in our meat."

"What! She may not make it through the week? Whats that supposed to mean? Is she... is she..." Elizabeth couldn't bring herself to say it, her eyes were beginning to water.

Regina nodded mutely. "That's what I've been told, Lizzie." she said. "We should try to make mom as comfortable as we can."

Elizabeth burst into tears and began sobbing on Regina's shoulder.

Regina patted her back soothingly. She was definately not used to this. It was normally the other way around. "Who told you?" she whispered.

Elizabeth looked up, all the sudden angry. "Bloody, f***ing Norrington, thats who. He acted like she had some sort of flu! And he must have known...." She looked at her sister and wiped her eyes. "I'm sorry. I must be freaking you out...who told you?" she asked, more composed, but tears were still leaking slowly from her eyes.

"Father told me.I'm sorry you had to find out from that pompous git." Regina said. "Comeon, we should stay with Mother." she said leading Elizabeth back into the room.

Elizabeth followed. The two of them stayed there for the rest of the night, and most of the next week, until...
~Sorry, but the game needed to be speeded up. Plus, I didn't really like being the mother figure 😑 It was weird...~

Regina looked down at her mother's dead body. She wept silently. She couldn't look at her father nor her sister. She fought the anger and confusion.

They were bunched around the hole in the graveyard, watching there mother being lowered into the ground, as the preist said a prayer. As Elizabeth watched from behind the crowd, leaning against a large willow tree, a salty tear made a shiny trail down her cheek and dropped off her chin. What she was seeing was hard to accept. Every so often see'd blink, hoping she'd open her eyes and find it had all been a bad dream.

Regina looked away. She walked in the opposite direction. She would never accept this. She had even agreed to wearing a dress to the ceremony, but she couldn't bare to even think about it even more.

Elizabeth slowly slid down the tree, sobbing once and trying to hold back her tears. If you had asked her a month ago, how long did she think she'd have her mother around, she would have answered something like 'many, many years'. But now, she didn't have a mother at all.

Regina ran to the docks and dove into the water head first. SHe let the cold water soak her. She opened her eyes to find a fish floating in front of her.

Will walked up to Elizabeth. "I'm sorry for your loss, Elizabeth." he said offering her his handkercheif. "If there is anyway I can help let me know."

Elizabeth looked up and smiled at Will through her taers. "No, thank you Will." she said declining the hankercheif. She stood up and dusted off her lacy black dress. She had thought it to racy for a funeral, but it was her only black dress. She sighed, and blinked out a few tears. "Thank you for coming today Will..." she said, looking at him seriously. She looked around for Regina. "Um, have you seen my sister?" she asked Will.

Will sighed. "I saw her run towards the docks." he said forcing a smile and putting his Handkerchief away.

"Hmmm. Well I suppose I shouldn't be worried. She's a fine swimmer..." Elizabeth said looking in the direction of the docks. She turned back to Will. "So...how have you been?" she asked, attempting to make light conversation.
