This is my first fan fiction ever, though I have had ideas in the past I have never written any down.

'Will...that was it, he was gone for good. The pirates would surely kill him. She would never see his beautiful smile or laughing eyes ever again, as it was she had not seen them since they were both young. Where there had been the hope of seeing him in the town, now there was no hope...he was going to be killed.'

Elizabeth Swann had just been rescued after being marooned on an island with "Captain" Jack Sparrow. As soon as she was on the Dauntless, as the ship was called, she began pleading with her father, Governor Swann, and Commodore Norrington to go after the Black Pearl. The Black Pearl was on its way to the Isla de Muerta with William Turner in the hands of Captain Barbossa.

Elizabeth had tried as hard as she could. Even Jack Sparrow had tried to convince Commodore Norrington to go, but neither her father nor the Commodore would budge. They told her that they were taking her back to Port Royal and that there was nothing they could do for Will. 'Nothing they could do, ha. They just mean there isn't anything that they want to do' Elizabeth thought bitterly. That was it, she was out of ideas 'Will is going to die and I can't do anything about it' she thought sadly.

Just then there was a knock on the door. It was her father, of course, no one else would dare talk to her after witnessing her angry and depressed attitude just after she had lost all hope of saving Will. "Elizabeth it's me, may I come in?" asked the Governor. Elizabeth sighed, she knew he wouldn't leave until he had talked to her. "Very well" she replied. Her father then opened the door to the ship's cabin and entered. He sat down next to Elizabeth, who was sitting at the Commodore's desk. Then he asked the question that had been bothering him since Elizabeth had got on the ship and begun to plead for them to save Will. "Daughter, about Will...Why do you care if he lives or dies? I mean, that is to say, why is he so important to you? Of coarse I didn't mean that he is less worthy to live somehow, but—""I love him father!" Elizabeth said, interrupting her father's rambling. Governor Swann was so shocked by her exclamation that he could do nothing but stare, even when Elizabeth's small frame began to shake with sobs.

On another ship somewhere miles away, a handsome young man awaited the time when they would land and his fate would be decided.
