Chapter 1
Elizabeth slowly walked along the balcony of her Port Royal mansion, sliding her hand across the smooth railing. She was gazing at the ocean again with a dreamy look on her face. A soft familiar voice called from below, "Elizabeth, breakfast my love!". James Norrington called for his wife and took his place at the breakfast nook.
"I'm coming James!", Elizabeth called back. The two had been married for two years now, and couldn't be happier. With one last breath of the salty air, Elizabeth floated down the spiral staircase to meet James. She kissed him lightly and took her seat across from him.
"That Jack is at it again" Norrington said as he shook his head. He was reading the newspaper cover story about the notorious Jack Sparrow and his new wench Jenny Adnick. "He made off with 50 pounds and a barrel of rum." Elizabeth giggled at her husbands frustration, and continued sipping her coffee. Jack was always in the news, and for the past few weeks, so was his lady friend Jenny. "Well, I must be off soon. John is waiting for me down at the docks. I love you", James said.
"All right, be safe!" Elizabeth replied. James placed his oversized hat on his head, kissed Elizabeth, and went out the door.
"Mrs. Norrington" the house maid Sally said, "Someone is here to see you, he says his name is...Mr. Smith. He also brought along a maiden, by the name of Ms. Rasco."
"Let them in Sally, thank you". "Mr. Smith" walked in confidently, with "Ms. Rasco" right behind.
"Hello Jack", Elizabeth smiled.
"Bugger, how did you know it was me?" Jack questioned.
"Jack, all you did was wear a wig" she laughed.
"Oh, well... I'm not here for games Elizabeth, something happened. Young William, he..."
"What?" Elizabeth cut in.
"He's hurt" Jenny piped in.
"Well, not so much hurt, more like, immobile." Jack said.
"What happened?" Elizabeth demanded.
"He fell off the crows nest and sort of broke his arm. We couldn't exactly get him to a doctor, so we brought him here" Jenny replied. Mr. Gibbs dragged in the unconscious Will and laid him across the fancy couch. His face was twisted with pain, and his arm lay in a crooked mess next to his stomach.
"Oh my god, Will!" Elizabeth screamed. She rushed towards the body, and examined the damage. "I'll go call a doctor. Jack, Jenny, watch him to see if he wakes up."
"At least she bought the falling part" Jenny whispered.
"Yes my love, but she will find out eventually. Lets hope we can buy some time and improve on our story"
