Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

In honor of a very special person's birthday (Orlando) here is your first chapter of my new story.

How she came to be here she didn't remember. It was so long ago now that she didn't even remember her name. These thoughts didn't exist until she saw her. She was unconscious but oh so familiar. She would become one of her most powerful maidens and Queen Ame was very sure of that.

Elizabeth brought her hand to her head and sat up. She was in hut of some sort and there was no one around her. She looked down and jumped. Someone had changed her clothes while she had been asleep. She was wearing a long slit skirt and a shirt that had no sleeves that was completely brown and her hair was in a ponytail.

"Excuse me miss," a voice said.

Elizabeth turned and another woman was standing there with a spear and a frown on her face. "Yes?"

"Our queen wishes to speak with you."

Elizabeth seemed to have no choice. She followed this strange woman out and into the unknown.

Will was still alone in a dark room with an unconscious Jack Sparrow lying next to him. Being bored, he decided to sing. He didn't know why but a song just came to him.

"Ninety nine bottles of rum on the wall, ninety nine bottles of rum. You take it down give it to Jack ninety eight bottles of rum on the wall."

"Who be Jack?"

Will jumped because 1) he didn't recognize the voice and 2) he didn't even realize there was someone else in the room. "The lump next to me. I didn't hear you, ye scared me."

"Sorry lad didn't mean to cause a fright. Hold on, I'll let you out."

There was some sort of scratching sound and the door was let free.

"Come, we've got to get to our side before the sun sets."

"Could you help me then with Jack?"

The two of them took him by an arm and led him outside. The moon was high in the sky and the three of them made their way.

"Just-where-are-we-going-exactly," Will asked between breaths.

"You'll see lad, you'll see."

Elizabeth and the mysterious woman finally came upon the location they had been looking for. There was a big bon fire and it seemed like all the women of the island were sitting around it or dancing.

"Come," the woman said taking her hand and leading her to the others.

Everything momentarily stopped however because drum beats were heard earlier as well. The women all bowed their heads and that woman pulled Elizabeth down as well.

It took a few minutes but a woman's voice boomed, "You may now all rise."

Elizabeth stood up and looked at the woman who was the new arrival. She was wearing an elaborate head-dress and an outfit like everyone else only much more beautiful. The woman also had many markings of paint all over her arms, legs and face that more or less hid her features. She took one look at Elizabeth and nodded.

"Come by me child," she said with a melodic voice.

She clapped once and all the activities continued. Elizabeth followed her and the queen sat on her throne.

"Your Queen Ame demands that the welcoming ceremony begin."

She smiled that everyone became excited and turned to Elizabeth who was obviously confused.

"Welcome to our tribe Elizabeth," she whispered.

Will and the men finally came to a clearing. The moonlight seemed to shine on their companion now that they were out of the woods. He had long dark hair that was tied back and deep brown eyes that seemed to hold much knowledge within them. He seemed very familiar to Will, but he just couldn't put his finger on it.

"We'll rest here for a moment and then continue."

They rested Jack on the ground and the man sat on a rock and wiped his forehead.

"Take a break. Sit down," he said.

Will plopped down (closer to Jack than to the stranger) and stared at the sky.

"I's beautiful isn' it."

He jumped as Jack Sparrow sat up and looked.

"And just how long have you been awake for?"

"Oh, about 15 minutes now."

"Thanks."

"You awake there sir," the man asked.

"Yes."

"Good, we'll continue. We've only got a bit farther to go."

He stood up and began to walk away leaving them there. Jack and Will looked at each other before running after him. After much more walking, they finally arrived at another clearing.

"Sam, it's me," the man announced.

A man appeared by Jack's left side causing him to jump.

"It's about time you got back Bootstrap."

"Bootstrap," Will said incredulously.

"Sorry. Name's Bootstrap Bill Turner. Who might you be?"

Will couldn't even open his mouth to respond.

"Bill, is it really you?" Jack asked.

"Aye."

"It's me."

Bill had a blank look on his face.

"Sparrow. Jack Sparrow."

"No, it can't be. You're dead."

"Alive and well."

He smiled then and wrapped Jack in a big hug. When he let go Jack pointed to Will (who had suddenly gotten very pale).

"Guess who," he said.

Bill sniffed and looked interested at the boy.

"I's Jr."

Will looked Bill in the eye and the man could've fallen over. "William," he whispered.

The man named Sam suddenly coughed and pointed in the direction from which he'd come. "We've got to get over to the compound. We'll talk more later."

Bill took another long look at Will and walked away. Jack put an arm around Will's shoulder and they were off.

Elizabeth hated to admit it but she was having a little fun. Everyone was being very nice to her and yet the queen wasn't saying a word. Speaking of, the woman clapped and all talking and activity ceased.

"As this is the welcoming ceremony, we are here to welcome our newest addition. Elizabeth." Elizabeth stood (beyond her power) and tried to smile at the women before her. The queen stood and reached for what the woman next to her was holding. Around Elizabeth's neck, she put a large turquoise necklace. She then handed her a spear and everyone cheered.

"Welcome to the sisterhood."

Things started out with a bang didn't they. Well, unfortunately school starts on Tuesday and this is really the only chapter I've written so far. But, when I have free time I'll continue to write. Hope you all enjoyed it. Later everyone.
