Chapter 1

Elizabeth Swann sighed as she sat by her bedroom window,
looking out at the calm ocean. A cool but gentle breeze brushed over
her nightgown-clad body and ruffled the curtains. It was growing
dark, and the first stars were appearing in the sky, sparkling like
tiny diamonds on deep blue velvet. She could not ever remember
feeling this content before, especially after the events of the past
weeks, which seemed like some crazy dream. "Yo ho, yo ho…" she softly
began to sing as she stood, running her fingers through her light
brown hair, closing her deep brown eyes. "A pirates' life for me…"
Elizabeth absentmindedly reached towards her neck, finding it once
again bare.. Only a few days before, a golden medallion had hung
there. A skull and crossbones engraved in the center, Aztec gold. Now
it was gone. And good riddance,' Elizabeth thought with a slight
scowl. That thing had caused quite a lot of trouble.

Elizabeth gave a slight shudder as she lowered her hand
again, and sighed. Then she walked over towards her four poster bed,
climbing onto it, feeling rather exhausted. Elizabeth was just about
to slide beneath the covers when she heard a few knocks on her
door. "Who is it?" She called, propping her body up with her arms.

"It's me, might I come in?"

Will. Elizabeth felt her lips stretch into a big smile as she
slid back to the floor and hurried to let her fiencee inside. He
stood in his night clothes, his shoulder-length dark hair pulled back
into a ponytail. "Will, you should not be here…you're not technically
supposed to sleep with me until after we're married…" Elizabeth
whispered as she allowed him to come inside and shut the door after
him.

"I know I shouldn't…" Will whispered, coming over to wrap his
arms around Elizabeth's waist, leaning his forehead against her. "I
just could not stay away."

Elizabeth kissed him tenderly on the lips. "I am glad Father
allowed you to spend the night here," she whispered back, pulling him
over to the bed so the two of them could lie down. Will looked
positively exhausted from the past days' events, which did not
surprise Elizabeth at all. After all,' she thought to herself as she
snuggled against Will's chest, So much has happened. Will risked his
life to save me from a bunch of bloody pirates. Sailing through a
thunderstorm, going down into a great cave where I was being held
captive, only to find that he was the one the pirates really wanted…'
It had been a narrow escape for the both of them and Jack, who had
been a shockingly great help in the matter. When they had at last
reached Port Royal again, the Commador attempted to hang Jack for all
of the crimes he had committed, but Will had successfully saved him.
Jack was now captain of the Black Pearl, a great dream of his that
came true at last. Now we're safe again for a time,' Elizabeth
thought to herself with a smile.

"Do you think he'll come back for you?" Elizabeth finally
spoke up after a few moments of silence. Will lowered his chin to his
chest so that he could look at her.

"Who?"

"You know…" Elizabeth sat up again.

"Jack?" Will asked curiously. "I suppose he might…" Will
grinned. "We'll certainly know when he does." He winked at her.

Elizabeth grinned. "You know what I would like to do for our
honeymoon?" She ordered Will to turn over, so that he was lying on
his stomach, so that she could massage his shoulders. He closed his
eyes, grunting and grimacing as she hit a knot in his left shoulder.

"What's…OW!" Will gasped as she hit yet another tender spot.

"I'm sorry…but you're tense, Love…" Elizabeth chuckled,
kissing his neck.

"I wonder why…oh right there…" He held his breath as she
continued pressing down the center of his back.

"I'd like to go sailing with you, Jack and his crew…not far…
just a few miles off the coast of Port Royal…"

Will was quiet again. After everything that had occurred, she
still wanted to live a pirate's life. He cleared his throat, turning
over on his side, and pulling her close. She was so beautiful…why had
he waited so long for this? Because you were chicken, a tiny voice
spoke inside of his head. It's about time you bloody proposed!
Elizabeth did not even care that he was a pirate, and in this town,
that kind of attitude was rare. Especially as the town was recently
ransacked and pillaged by the crew of the Black Pearl…

"Elizabeth…are you certain that would be wise? Is it not bad
enough that you are marrying a pirate?" Will chuckled.

Elizabeth giggled and crawled down so that she was sitting by
his feet, and she began to massage those. Normally women did not do
this sort of thing before they were wed, but Will was different. They
had known each other since childhood, and spent all the time in the
world together. Elizabeth, in fact, used to sneak out of her window
and rush to the blacksmith shop to visit him, and would spend nights
there, coming back early in the morning before anyone else woke up.
It was this relationship that made them so comfortable with each
other, even though they did not show as much affection in public
places. Will suddenly let out a laugh, and Elizabeth saw that his
eyes were sparkling. "You're ticklish there, eh?" Elizabeth teased,
touching one of his toes. "Oh that's funny!"

He quickly slid his feet away from her, tucking them beneath
him. "No…no you don't," he warned, still laughing.

"So what do you say about our honeymoon?" she asked after she
agreed not to tickle him anymore. Will frowned.

"Naturally I'll have to ask your father if he would allow it…"

"He would, if it was what I wanted, Will!" Elizabeth begged. "Oh
please, please, please, PLEASE!" She tugged on his robe, looking
quite a bit like the little girl Will had once known.

"Even if your father did allow it, there would be no way of
contacting Jack. He might be gone for years…"

Elizabeth scowled…Will was right about that. He was certainly miles
away by now, and had a "date with the gallows" as Commador
Norrington had told the Governor. Jack had a one day's head start,
and she had a hard time believing the man would be back anytime soon.
Still, it never hurt to dream. Elizabeth lay so that her head was at
Will's feet, and carefully began to rub them so that she would not
tickle him. After ten minutes or so had gone by, she heard a soft
snoring and lifted her head. Will had fallen sound asleep, his mouth
only slightly open. She fought down a giggle as she crawled up
towards the pillows, and tapped him. "Will…" she called quietly, but
he did not move. "Will?" she said again as she shook him. When he
still did not move, she shook her head with a roll of her eyes. She
certainly was not going to be able to make him go back to his room
now, not when he looked so comfortable. So she hopped out of bed and
hurried over to her closet, where she kept an extra throw blanket to
put over him. Once she was certain he was situated comfortably, she
crawled under the covers, and sung herself to sleep with an old
lullabye her father had taught her:

"She said take me to another life
Take me for a pirate's wife
Take me where the wind blows
Take me where the red wine flows
Take me to the danger
Take me to the life of crime
Take me to the stars
Take me to the moon while we still have time…"
