Chapter One
Port Royal, Dock
Elizabeth stood on the ramp leading up to the White Lily, the Navy's pride and commanding ship. Her father followed close behind her along with their maid Mary. Stepping onto the dock of the magnicificent ship she was suddenly overwhelmed with memories, the wind blew furiously in her hair and the sea sprayed on her perfectly scupltured face. She smiled as she reached up and released her hair from the tight knot it was in. Her long chesnut hair fell neatly onto her bare shoulders. Her tight corset was making it difficult for her to breath but right now she didn't care. She walked over to the rail of the ship and placed both of her hands firmly on it. Starring out she felt time fly by nothing else seemed to matter to her any more. Suddenly she felt the ship lurge as it left the dock and headed out into the ocean. She couldn't help but smile as Port Royal slowly faded away until it was no longer visible.
James Norrington watched Elizabeth silently, she was so beautiful. The way her hair flew around her face the way she stood up for what she believed. The way her eyes seemed to always be filled with joy whenever she was near the sea. As Port Royal disappeared he plucked up the courage to finally go and disturb her. Walking up to her as quietly as he could, careful not to make too much noise he stood behind her.
She sensed his presence long before he had said anything.
"What do you see James??" she asked indicating the ocean.
He looked at her confused, all he saw was the sea.
"I see the vast ocean" he told her. She sighed a bit too loudly.
"Is something wrong Elizabeth?" he inquired. Inside she was screaming to say something but reluctantly she shook her head. He nodded accepting her reason. Without another word she pushed past him and headed toward the fairly large captain's quarters where she presumed her "friends" were.
Norrington sighed as she left he couldn't help but notice she seemed somewhat disappointed in her answer, what could she have hoped he said he wondered. Everything about her was a mystery and he never seemed to be able to understand her.
Elizabeth entered the quarters slowly closing the door behind her. She looked at the scene before her sighing.
In the center of the room was a large round table, a cloth placed carefully on it. On the elegant white fabric were two teapots and 11 china teacups, all filled with hot freshly brewed tea. Surround the table were 11 wooden chairs each except for one had one of her many "friends" seaten upon it.
"Elizabeth, so nice for you to join us" her friend Annabelle called to her.
"Come sit down have some tea" Samantha told her.
Elizabeth nodded before sitting in the chair next to Samantha.
Ever since Jack had dropped her back in Port Royal three years ago her old friends seemed so boring and dull. She had never realised it before because they had always been one of the most interesting things in Port Royal to her, other than Will of course. She smiled thinking back to all those years she spent with Will swordfighting and talking for hours in the blacksmiths.
Then of course there had been Jack who from the moment he had saved her from drowning had showen her adventure, excitement, and freedom she had never expierenced before.
Her friends watched Elizabeth stare into space and gave each other simulatanious looks.
"Elizabeth?" Julia asked breaking her from her concentration.
"Yes, sorry i was just thinking" she told them. They all giggled which caused Elizabeth to smile.
"Were you thinking of a man?" they asked her curious. Elizabeth was the only one of her ten friends who wasn't married. The girls all before the age of 21 had been asked to marry by various rich suiters and one by one accepted.
Elizabeth was the "wild one", as they called her, she stood up for what she believed in which some of them admired her for while others thought of as as not proper.
"Yes" she told them truthfully.
"You must be excited to finally be marrying that handsome commodore after all of those "interuptions" Jessica presumed.
Elizabeth sighed. "Yes of course" she responded trying to sound enthusicastic. Being married meant she would be tied down and force to live in Port Royal forever having endless amounts of children and wearing corsets and going to ball after ball.
Oh how she wished she could get off this dreaded ship and sail once again under a pirate flag.
