Disclaimer: I own no one from POTC. Any characters that were not in or mentioned in the movie are concepts of my imagination! Some are based on real people I know, some are purely imaginary!
A/N: I hope you enjoy the story! PLEASE Read and Review. The more reviews I get (good or bad) the more in encourages me to write! One thing, I am not great at Geography so please don't condemn me if I put an island where there couldn't possibly be one! Also some of the islands in the story will be fictitious! Remember this is my first POTC story, so please be gentle!! LOL
Chapter 1 - Decisions
Will Turner awoke with yet another hangover. This had become quite normal for him since Elizabeth had left him.
For months after their marriage things had been wonderful. Mr. Brown had retired leaving the blacksmith shop to Will and business had been going well. He and Elizabeth had built a modest home with the money her father had given them as a wedding gift and Elizabeth had been content being his wife.
Then her aunts and uncles had come from England to Port Royal for an extended visit. They couldn't, or rather wouldn't accept Will. They thought Elizabeth had married beneath her class and stated as much at every opportunity. Will was excluded from any and all family gatherings.
That is when the fighting had started. Will believed that Elizabeth should stand up to her family - to defend their marriage, but for some reason she was unable to do so. He remembered the final fight they had:
"Why Elizabeth? You stood up to your father when he didn't want us to wed, why not the rest of your family?" he asked angrily.
"You don't understand Will! They aren't like my father. They are from a different world. They will never accept our marriage!" she replied softly looking defeated.
"You haven't even tried!" he yelled, "Maybe it is because you agree with them! Well, if I am so 'beneath' you then go and be with them!"
"Will, I love you! You know that! Please don't do this!" she pleaded
"Obviously love isn't enough Elizabeth!" he said as he left the house in anger.
He had gone to the shop to try to take out some of his frustrations. When he returned to the house hours later she was gone. She had taken all of her things; all she had left was a note.
"I am sorry Will. You just don't understand my family, how they
are with appearances. Maybe you are right and love isn't enough.
I am going back to England, please don't try to contact me. If I find
a way to make them understand and resolve things, I'll come back
to you. Remember always, I love you."

That had been six months ago and he had received no word from her.
Will did not know what to do next. All he knew was that he had to get out of Port Royal. He was ready to leave, but had no idea where to go. For nine years this was his home, these were the only people he knew..except of course for Captain Jack Sparrow and the other members of the Black Pearl's crew.
'Maybe Jack is right.' He thought, 'Maybe I do have pirate blood.'
At that moment he decided to try to find Jack. His first stop..Tortuga, the well-known pirate port. If Jack wasn't there, it wouldn't be long before he would make an appearance, or someone would know where Will could find the Black Pearl!
A/N: O.k., so what do you think of the first chapter? I haven't decided yet if I am going to have Elizabeth return during this story or not..what do you guys think? Please R & R!
