Chapter 2
Will Turner walked up the steps to Tessa's house, then knocked on the door three times, then waited. In a few minutes, a butler pulled the heavy oak door open.
"How man I help you?" He asked bluntly.
"May I speak with Mrs. Norrington?"
"One moment please." The butler turned, "You may wait in the entrance." William walked slowly into the house as the butler walked up the stairs to get Tessa.
Up in her room, Tessa unfolded an aged piece of paper, and began to read. Memories of the past filled her mind, memories which she missed terribly. The young woman jumped when hard knocking filled her room. Quickly she folded the letter back up, threw it into a wooden box, and shoved it under her bed. She then walked over to the door and opened it.
"Yes?"
"Mr. Turner wishes to speak with you. He is waiting in the entrance."'
"Thank you." Tessa smiled, and headed down the stairs to meet him. "Hello William." She greeted, Will turned around.
"Mrs. Commodore, how are you?"
"I am well, and you?"
"I am fine myself." Will replied, "However, I am curious about a few things." Tessa looked around quickly.
"Will, let's walk and talk shall we?" The woman grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the house and courtyard. They slowed when they reached the side of the road. "Now, you have to understand that everything I am about to tell you has to remain between the two of us only."
"I understand." The young man nodded.
"All right." Tessa sighed lightly, "What all would you like to know?"
"Mainly why and how you ended up almost marrying Jack."
"Well, a long time ago, I sailed with him."
"Were you a pirate?"
"You could say so." Tess smirked, "I sailed with him on the Black pearl. I got far enough on that ship to get to the cursed gold. After they marooned Jack and sunk Bootstrap, Barbossa dropped me off in Port Royal and left. I met the Commodore a couple of days later, within six months, we were married."
"What happened to your piece of gold."
"It got taken along with everything of mine. However, I did get a piece back."
"I see. When you were sailing with Jack, you were together right?"
"Yes."
"If you don't mind me asking, what about your son?"
"He's no the Commodore's, thats all I'm saying." Tessa smirked. Will's mouth was gaping open at this remark. "William, close your mouth before people start to wonder." The young woman reached over and pushed his mouth shut just as they neared the beach.
At that point, Jonathon, Tessa's son came running up to them.
"Mother! Mother! Look what I found in the water!" In his hand the toddler held an aged piece of Aztec Gold.
