Perfection and Rumination
Chapter 1
As the dark clouds began to swarm over Port Royal, the guards who kept watch over the docks started to nod off from the days of sleepless watch over the city that had once been attacked by Pirates. A lot of things had been destroyed. Houses brought to ruin, people killed trying to defend what was theirs, mother's crying trying to protect their children, and many other horrible things had crumbled underneath a pirate attack.
Most of all something had overcome the attack on Port Royal. That was love, a love so true, that it overcame everything. It was a love between a simple blacksmith, William Turner and the Governor's Daughter, Elizabeth Swann that conquered everything. They were brought together by their adventures on The Black Pearl.
"William, hurry up! We are going to be late'' Elizabeth called from the parlor of their new home.
William stood at the top of the staircase with nothing but a pair of ivory coloured pants on; his dark hair let loose sitting just on his shoulders.
"Late what do you mean late? Elizabeth why are you in such a rush? We have all day too meet with your father."
Elizabeth came out of the parlor clipping on some diamond earrings and faced Will. She him a stern and forceful look, "Father has requested that we be there to meet with him for some reason of sheer importance."
Will shrugged his shoulders and returned back upstairs to their room, where he put on a clean shirt, brushed his hair back into a pony tail, and headed back down stairs to accompany his wife.
He kissed her on the cheek, but he sensed the coldness towards him, as they were about to exit the house. She had been acting this way for the past few days All they seemed to do was go and see her father. It just appeared to be another one of those days where they sit around and chat about pointless things. Little did Will know that this meeting wasn't to see if he had permission to take Elizabeth to the dressmaker, or to see different parts of Port Royal together. Oh no, something had snuck into Port Royal, something undiscovered, something that haunted both their dreams, something that they hoped would return.
As Elizabeth picked up her bag and put up her pick lace umbrella Will put on his jacket and opened the door for his wife. Just as he closed the door behind him and locked it, he heard Elizabeth cry in frenzy. Will turned around to face what had startled Elizabeth so. There, walking right up to the front door at which Elizabeth and Will stood, was a man with a very familiar face, a face so familiar it left both of them almost speechless.
After a few seconds of recognition, Will cleared his throat and spoke.
''Jack..Jack Sparrow is that you?'' Will said with a hoarse voice.
The Pirate fumbled, mumbled and swayed from side to side.
''Captain Jack Sparrow at ye...service" and he took one last look at them and fell face first straight onto the front porch.
Will crouched down to see if Jack was ok. He picked up Jacks arm and then let it go again, fall straight back to the ground.
Elizabeth ran to the back of the house and filled a bucket with cold water. After a few minuets she rounded the corner and threw the water onto Jack. Both Will and Elisabeth waited anxiously. Finally Jack started to come round.
Will turned to Elizabeth and gestured to Jack, who was holding his head an moaning, "Can you help me get him inside the house before anyone sees him? You know the price a pirate gets if he is seen in Port Royal! Death, Quick!"
Elizabeth agreed, and she three her purse and umbrella on the porch and helped Will lift Jack into the house. They left him to rest on the sofa with their butler, Loki, keeping a close watch over the drunken pirate. They hurried out of the house, both unsure what the house would look like when they got home.

Will and Elizabeth hurried down the dirty streets of Port Royal to greet Governor Swann. They both wondered what was so important. They just hoped that Jack didn't cause too much trouble for Loki.
They approached the Governors chambers and hurried inside. Elizabeth rushed to her father and hugged him with such force that she nearly swept him off his feet, nearly knocking him to the ground. Will stood there waiting for Governor Swann to address the issue that they had been summoned for.
"Will and Elizabeth," he said nodding and gently moved them towards chairs.
"I am sure you understand the circumstances of which I have brought you here to discuss and what course of action we should take?" The Governor did not sit, instead he paced up and down the chamber which eventually started to make Will feel dizzy. He finally snapped back to what the Governor was saying.
"Governor Swann, we are not all to sure of what your saying. What is happening" Will shifted in his seat and looked at Elizabeth beside him who looked just as puzzled as he was. Suddenly it struck both of them what was happening but before either of them could say anything, the Governor started to rave.
"Something that Port Royal have feared, dreaded, our worst nightmare as returned and we will stop at nothing to destroy the threat!"
Will's head turned sharply on what the Governor had said, "Problem? What problem?" Elizabeth gently put her hand on her husband's arm to silence him.
Governor Swann turned around with a raging look in his eyes,"The Black Pearl has returned."
Will and Elizabeth looked out of the window and out to the sea with knowing look on their faces, both of them where thinking the same thing.
If The Pearl had returned, there was only one man who could give them the answers to why, and that man was lying on their couch blind drunk.
