It was after sundown and Elizabeth Swann raced down the rocky pathway with tears running down her cheeks and sweat burning her eyes. She burst through the blacksmith's shop door and saw her one true love, William Turner hammering away at a piece of metal.

"Will!" she cried as she leapt into his arms and cried, making a stain on his shirt.

"Oh my God Elizabeth! What's wrong?!"

"My-my-father said...he said that we...can't be...married!" she said between sobs.

"How can this be?"

"Norrington came over and told my father some ridiculous lie that you killed a commanding officer and tried to kidnap me...oh god Will what are we going to do now?!"

"You cannot stay here or I could be hung and you could be forced to marry Norrington so you need to go back home and I will see you tomorrow night...we will find Jack and leave this place we don't need Port Royal all we need is each other."

"Oh Will...I love you."

Will's lips met with hers in a kiss of passion and love before he finally pulled away.

"Go Elizabeth, I shall see you tomorrow. I love you too."

Elizabeth walked away without breaking glances with Will and finally their hands parted and she took off running back to her bedroom at the governor's mansion.

Morning:

Elizabeth sat in the dining room for dinner with her father and to her disliking, James Norrington.

"So Elizabeth, what are your plans for tomorrow?" James asked her.

"None of your business." she snapped back at him.

"Elizabeth!! How DARE you talk to the Commadore that way!!!"

"I shall speak to him the way I like for I am not betrothed to him!"

"Don't use that tone with me young lady." the governor spat at her and began to focus on his dinner once again.

The rest of the dinner was silent until ELizabeth dashed out of the room and ran to the parlor not knowing that James was running after her.

"Elizabeth!"

She turned around to see Norrington right behind her.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME!" she screamed at him.

"No listen to me now." James covered Elizabeth's mouth with his hand and pinned her to a tree.

She struggled against him but he was too strong for her. Tears were now streaming down her face as he started to kiss her neck. Elizabeth shook her head and screamed out against his hand and she closed her eyes as tears leaked from them. Suddenly, she felt him being pulled off of her and saw Will punch James in the face.

"OH WILL!" ELizabeth leapt into his arms and kissed him over and over.

"Oh my Elizabeth...I love you so much. I swear I will kill him before he touches you again." Will kissed her forehead and held her close.

"Let's get out of here...the Pearl is in the harbor waiting for us." Before Elizabeth could respond to him, he grabbed her hand and they raced down the pathway to where the Pearl was.
