William shifted in his sleep. Elizabeth thought he looked like he was having a nightmare. She took his necklace out of her pocket on her dress and held it up to the candle light. It was gold with a skull embossed on the front. It looked very old, with some chips here and there.
"Has he said anything at all Elizabeth?" Elizabeth jumped and spun around. It was her father, Governor Swan. She stuffed the necklace in her pocket hastily.
"No. He hasn't woken up yet." Elizabeth said.
"Well call me when he wakes up. I want to talk to him." Elizabeth nodded and sat back down next to Williams bed. Once her father had left the room. She bent over him, examining his face. He was quite good looking. His wet hair hung in his face which was perfectly shaped. There was no sign of a freckle on the clean face, and his eyes (from what she could see of them, since they were closed) were large and peaceful.
The boy sat up and looked around, causing Elizabeth to fall out of her chair. He immediately hopped out of bed to help her up. Once he had seen she was alright, he noticed, he wasn't wearing any pants and climbed back into bed, blushing.
"Sorry." Elizabeth said, also blushing.
"It's alright. I'm Will Turner." He held out a hand to shake hers. She realized that he wasn't raised like her, so men and woman shook hands in greeting. She shook his hand uncomfortably. He had a strong hand. She could feel ruff and blistered skin from working and decided he was from a family that owned a mining field or something along those lines.
"You already told me your name." she said sheepishly.
"Oh, did I? Sorry. Where am I?" he asked looking around.
"This is the Governors house. My father is Governor Swan, and I am Elizabeth Swan." Will looked surprised.
"The governor. I didn't know there was a governor around here. Can I meet him?" He asked eagerly.
"Yes, of coarse. I'll go get him." She got up to go, but he stopped her.
"Um...Where are my clothes?"
"Oh, they are getting washed, by the maids. But there are some cloths in the drawer over there. Do you want me to get them for you?" She pointed at the dresser near the bed.
"No it's alright. I can get them." He gave her a dashing smile, showing unnaturally white teeth. She smiled back and left the room, to get her father. She found him in the dinning room with Captain Norrington. They both stood up when Elizabeth entered.
"Father. The boy woke up. He wants to see you."
"Alright Elizabeth. I'll be there in two seconds." Governor Swan turned to Captain Norrington, "I wont be a minute Captain." Norrington smiled and nodded. Then he smiled at Elizabeth who didn't smile back. She didn't like him very much. She followed her father back to Will's room.
Will was standing at the edge of the bed looking through the covers.
"Have you lost something?" Governor Swan asked.
"No it's ok. I just lost my necklace. It must have been lost in the fire."
"I'm sorry. Perhaps we could have another one made?"
"No, It's alright. It didnt mean much."
Elizabeth felt the weight of the necklace in her pocket as she walked more into the room and felt a pang of guilt that she had taken it. But then she remembered that she was saving him from the consecuinces as a pirate.
"Would you like to come join us for dinner. It should be ready in 10 minutes."
Will looked at Elizabeth and smiled. "Yes. I'd love to come."
Will came to dinner in the same clothes he had been wearing, but he has washed his hair, and drawn it into a pony tail, so it was out of his face. Elizabeth noticed how hansome he was without the dirt on his face and clothes.
The cool rang a bell from teh kitchen, and the houshold sat down, the woman being helped by the servants.
Governor Swan spoke quietly to one of the sevants and he ran of to the kitchen.
