Hi guys, it has been a long time since I've uploaded here. Recently I managed to get my login details back and after reading reviews and PM's from you guys I decided that I am continuing my story, Now Bring me that Horizon. I actually remember some of the plots that I started in the first story!
Right now I'm editing 'Now Bring me that Horizon', changing some small things, grammar etc. But I am also writing Longing for Freedom. Right now I've finished the first three chapters, and will upload them hopefully on a weekly basis.
If you haven't read 'Now Bring me that Horizon', I would strongly suggest that you do so first. While I think the stories can be read seperately, the characters and story started of in BTH.
The weather was unusual for Port Royal, Victoria hadn't seen it rain this bad in years. Looking through the small window in her bedroom above the blacksmith she sighed. Today was the day that her brother William Turner and the Governor's daughter, Elizabeth Swann were to be wed. Turning around, she looked at her brother, Will was staring into her small mirror his hands weaving through his hair to make it look better.
"Will", she said, "Stop doing that, you will only mess it up."
"I'm sorry Victoria, I just nervous. What if she's not there, what if she's changed her mind and doesn't want to marry a blacksmith anymore?"
"Brother, you worry too much", Victoria said, "She loves you as much as you love her. She won't let you go. It will be fine."
Will gave one last look into the mirror before he turned around and faced her, "You're right. You always are Victoria. I'm sorry."
Stepping towards him Victoria wrapped her arms around him and pulled him in a tight hug before releasing him and smirking mischievously.
"And don't you forget it", she smiled, "Are you ready to go?"
Will nodded and linked arms with her, "Yes, I am."
They walked down the stairs when the door from the blacksmith banged open, immediately half a dozen of Navy soldiers marched into the shop, followed by a small man.
"I'm sorry, but we're closed today", Will said as he walked down the last few steps, "We'll be open again tomorrow."
"We're not here for a sword, boy", the man said, 'We're looking for Mr. William Turner and Ms. Victoria Turner. You two I presume?'
"Aye", Victoria said, her hands smoothing down the dress she was wearing, "That be us."
"Good", the man said, "Arrest them."
Victoria and Will glanced at each other confused as two Navy man approached them with handcuffs.
"On what ground?", Will asked, slowly walking backwards, "You can't just arrest us!"
"I can and I will", the man said, "And once we've got the two of you we'll be visiting the lovely Ms Swann."
"No!", Will said as one of the Navy officers grabbed his arm, "You can't do this, it's our wedding day."
The man didn't reply to it, only ordering his men, "Take them."
Before either Victoria or Will knew what was happening, they were held by the soldiers and escorted out on the street towards the fort that rose above the town.
…
"Will! Why is this happening", Elizabeth said as she laid eyes on them.
"I don't know", Will said as he looked at her, his eyes soft as he took in her look, water dripping from her face, "You look beautiful."
"I think it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding", Elizabeth said softly.
"Make way!", an angry voice yelled as someone pushed his way through the crowd, Governor Swann.
"How dare you", he spoke, shocked at the marine's actions. They stood unmoved as they blocked his path with their halberds. "Stand your men down at one! Do you hear me?", he yelled at the man that had given the order to arrest Victoria and Will.
The men slowly turned around and looked at the Governor, "Governor Weatherby Swann, it's been too long", he drawled.
"Cutler Beckett?", the Governor asked, shocked as he looked at the man.
"It's Lord now, actually", Beckett said in such a way that reminded Victoria of Jack Sparrow and his insistence of being called 'Captain Jack Sparrow'. The reminder caused a small twinge in her chest, she hadn't seen Jack in almost a year. While her brother was happily walking around with his fiance, but she had no one to turn to.
"This warrant is for Elizabeth Swann", Governor Swann exclaimed loudly, pulling Victoria out of her thoughts.
"Oh, is it? That's annoying. My mistake. Arrest her", he gestured to Elizabeth, who tried to shake off the guard that suddenly grabbed her.
"On what charges?", she exclaimed as the soldiers put irons on her.
"Aha. Here's the one for William Turner", Beckett said smugly as he handed another warrant to the Governor. "And I have another one, two in fact, one for a Victoria Turner and one for a Mr. James Norrington. Is he present?"
"Commodore Norrington resigned his commission some months ago", the Governor said in a soft voice.
"I don't believe that was the answer to the question I asked", Beckett replied turning towards him.
"Lord Beckett", Will spoke loudly as he glared at the man in front of him, "In the category of questions not answered..."
"We are under the jurisdiction of the King's governor of Port Royal, and you will tell us what we are charged with", Elizabeth said coldly as she also glared at Beckett.
Governor Swann looked from the documents to the two Turners and back down, "The charge is conspiring to set free a man convicted of crimes against the Crown and Empire and condemned to death, for which the...", he trailed off as his face turned white.
"For which the punishment, regrettably, is also death", Beckett finished, an evil smile forming on his face, "Perhaps you remember a certain pirate named Jack Sparrow."
"Captain", Will, Elizabeth and Victoria responded icily.
"It's Captain Jack Sparrow", Victoria said as she glared at the man in front of her, his smug behaviour was really starting to work on her nerves.
"Captain Jack Sparrow", Beckett said, "Yes, I thought you might. Take them to the cells."
Will, Elizabeth and Victoria were marched towards the cells and unceremoniously shoved into them, Elizabeth and Victoria were locked into one, while Will was in the cell next to them. Will and Elizabeth immediately crawled towards each other and tried to be as close to each other as they could with the bars between them.
"What will they do with us Will? This was not supposed to happen today", Elizabeth sobbed softly as she held Will's hands, "We were supposed to get married, move in together and live happily together."
Will said nothing as he held her, glancing at his sister for help. He never had to deal with a crying woman before and was unsure what to do. Victoria shrugged at his questioning look and retreated to one of the corners in the cell, allowing her brother and his fiancé a bit of privacy.
She'd never thought that their adventure with Jack would come back to them in such a way. The Governor had pardoned them all, there had been no way that they could've charged with anything. But that was before Lord Beckett. God, she already hated that man with his smug smile.
Glancing at her brother, she sighed. She missed Jack. While Will had Elizabeth, Victoria was left alone after they had helped Jack escape from being hanged. Oh, Will and Elizabeth had tried to include her, but as time went by she'd felt more and more like a third wheel and she'd found herself more and more standing on the shores of Port Royal, looking over the sea with a heavy heart. After her time at sea Victoria knew she belonged there. Not in a town, but at the sea, travelling at sea wherever the wind would take her.
Suddenly there was a loud sound as the door that led to the cells was opened, two marines marched over to Will's cell and pulled him out.
"Lord Beckett wants to see you", one of them said as he put irons on Will's wrist before he led Will out of the cellblock.
A/N Thanks for reading, I'd love to hear from you guys what you think of it!
