In all honesty, I really am not sure if I do believe in such a thing or not.

Considering everything I have seen and done in the last few years of my life, you would think that a concept of the Afterlife would be something that I could easily believe in. However, after losing Norrington because he was protecting me... and then losing Will...only to have him come back...and then be forced to serve as Captain of the Flying Dutchman...

How can I honestly believe in something like the Afterlife that people talk of in such glowing and flowery terms?

Death is something that I am all too familiar with, I am afraid. I have seen good and brave men die because they are sticking to their ideals and what they believe in.

I am just not sure I can believe in something like the Afterlife after the reality of death and imprisonment of souls as I have seen.

Losing Will because I am not quick enough to save him.

That's my biggest fear. The lives that Will and I now lead are not exactly the safest. We're marked as pirates. There are precious few safe harbours for us now, and we're not exactly the favorite people of Davy Jones, either.

Of course, Will also erroneously believes that I am in love with Jack Sparrow -- which I most certainly am not.

I would do anything in my power -- anything I have to -- to protect Will.

I'm just afraid it will not be enough.
