Prologue
Seven years. Had it really been that long? It was hard to imagine that seven summers and nearly as many winters had passed since Elizabeth Turner had last seen or spoken to her husband, William.
Her husband wasn't dead or a criminal rotting away in a prison cell; he was sailing the seas as the captain of the Flying Dutchman. She knew he had had no choice in becoming the captain of the devil ship. After all, he had been on the verge of death. Thinking back to that horrible moment made Elizabeth shiver in the darkness. She had nearly lost him forever…but was her situation so much different now? Will couldn't set foot on land for a decade at a time, and even then it was only for a day.
Elizabeth silently cursed the goddess Calypso, the source off her and Will's suffering. If it weren't for her and her orders that the Dutchman must always have a captain, she and her husband would be together right now. Instead, within hours of celebrating their wedding vows, Will and Elizabeth had been forced to part ways so that Will could see to his newly appointed duty.
Now, Elizabeth missed his presence, the bright smiles that he flashed her way at random moments, running her fingers through his silky and unruly hair, and just having him next to her. Those seven years had been a rather lonely time for her, and she still had three more to go before she could be reunited with her beloved. Even though the practical woman knew that Will was out there somewhere, she felt like part of her was missing.
Still, those seven long years hadn't been completely unbearable. Her son, Thomas, kept her busy and made her days happier.
It was only at night that she felt terribly alone, and recently on edge and afraid. Tonight was not the first night that the slender woman in the cottage doorway had been woken by her nightmares. And the night terrors were not the only things keeping her senses on high alert. Strange things and odd feelings had been making her increasingly paranoid. These feelings, combined with her nightmares made Elizabeth think something bad was going to happen.
Yes, something evil was coming. She just didn't know what, but she intended to find out before her, or her son, got hurt. For some unexplainable reason, the logical woman knew whatever was about to happen had something to do with her and her family.
The only question was what.
Author's Note: Okay so this was extremely short. The other chapters will be longer than this. This was just a little intro. I will continue to update often, since this story is already finished. I hope you continue to read. Please review so that I know what you think. Even if you have constructive criticism, I'm more than happy to listen to what you have to say. Thanks!
