Chapter 2: Bleak Weather

It was a fine morning. The sky was clear of any clouds. There was a cool breeze blowing North. It was the perfect morning to set out to sea. Will Turner stood on the dock, staring out at the ocean. His dark hair was blowing in the wind, into his eyes, but he took no notice. His features were calm and neutral, but his eyes, his eyes showed uncertainty and worry. His arms were folded tightly across his chest, as if he were trying to hold himself together. A soft sigh escaped his lips as he closed his eyes.

"Will! What are you doing just standing there? Get yerself up 'ere and help with the Pearl! If yer going to be a pirate of the Pearl, you should get to know her!" Captain Jack Sparrow strolled up to Will, smacking his back harder than necessary.

Will's eyes flew open as he sucked in a gasp as Jack's hard smack shook his body. Will turned around, annoyed. "Jack, just tell me next time, don't smack me."

Jack's laughter sounded as he put his hand on Will's shoulder. "I thought you were sleepin, and it's Cap'n Jack, boy."

Will glared as he shrugged Jack's hand off his shoulder. "I don't sleep standing up, facing the ocean, Captain."

"Of course you don't. Now what's the matter? Missing your bonnie lass?" Jack grinned as he studied Will's expression.

"What are you talking about, Jack? She doesn't need me. She hasn't spoken to me in two years, why would she care if I left?" Will looked down at the water, avoiding Jack's prying eyes.

"I wasn't talkin' about if she needed you, I was talkin' about if you need her and from what I can see, it would seem you do, you still do. It's up to you if you still want to leave Miss Swann." Jack patted Will's shoulder as he turned to head back to the Pearl.

Will watched Jack's retreating back then turned back to the sea. "I can't stay here anymore, I'm sorry Elizabeth..." Will's soft whisper was lost in the wind as he turned to board the Pearl. With one last look at his old life, Will turned a strong back and faced his new one. The ship slowly floated away from Port Royale and took up speed as it turned towards the horizon.

A pair of brown eyes followed the Black Pearl from a high window until the ship was no more but a memory.

TWO MONTHS LATER

The night was silent and dark. It was one of those nights that no person wandered willingly. There was no moon to give light and the stars were anything but comforting. The water of the sea was black and still. A silent figure sat at the edge of land, huddled in a blanket, staring fixedly at the water, as far as her eyes could see. Her brown eyes were lifeless as she was deep in thought. The guards that patrolled the night took no notice of this dark figure that blended into the darkness. For the past month, every night, this same figure came to sit beside the sea, just thinking, and staring. A mystery that went unnoticed.

"What a fine night." Jack commented to himself as he stared into the dark abyss.

"What are you talking about, Jack? It's pitch black. You can't even see your hand in front of your face." Will grunted out as he emerged from below deck. He stared up at Jack with an annoyed glint in his eyes as he awaited any reply.

Jack just grinned happily from his position behind the wheel, continuing to stare ahead. He made no reply, acting as if Will wasn't there.

Will rolled his eyes and wandered to the side of the ship. He leaned over the wooden side of the ship and stared at the bleak atmosphere. No sound interrupted the silence, only the creaking of the ship and the splashing water. The crew of the Pearl slept below deck, oblivious to their surroundings.

The silence continued for a few more minutes until Will made an irritated grunt and turned away from his only entertainment for the last two minutes. He glared up at Jack as he started to walk to the entrance to the lower deck. Before he could reach his destination, a crack of thunder sounded, making both men jump, surprised. A startled Will turned to where the thunder had sounded. "That's unusual. It doesn't look like a storm would take place in this type of weather." Will glanced up at Jack, who was studying the dark sky with a raised eyebrow.

"That's interesting." Jack commented as a strike of lightening streaked across the sky, lighting the night.

"Jack, shoul-" Will was cut off as a loud clap of thunder boomed, ripping the words from Will's lips as they were spoken.

Every clap of thunder boomed louder than the previous one, and every streak of lightening was brighter than the one before. The ocean began to swirl and strong winds blew against the ship. The men were thrown to one side of the ship to another as the Pearl began to rock against the wind and water. Jack's yells and Will's shouts were lost as they were flung about. The storm was blinding and deafening, both men were thrown into an atmosphere of darkness and silence.

Elizabeth screamed into the night as the incredible storm that came out of no where took effect. She struggled to her feet, only to be blown down. The winds were so strong and the thunder, so loud. She cried out as another streak of lightening flew across the sky, bringing a moment of light to her surroundings. She had only a second to glimpse what was in front of her before she was careening into the ocean. The water was biting cold, it froze her down to the core. She unwillingly gulped the salty water as she slowly tried to gain control of her icy muscles to swim to the surface. She kicked her legs, gaining a moment of control before she choked and gagged. Her vision became blurry as she tried to regain control. She reached out her hand before darkness overtook her vision and she was sucked into an unbearable silence.
