Chapter 2: To Tortuga


Leaning forward past the other people, Evelyn saw Elizabeth walking down the aisle in her gorgeous white wedding dress. The dress was cut low, exposing her neck, shoulders, and outline of her chest. Around her neck she wore a big, beautiful, sparkling diamond necklace that was even more gorgeous than the bridesmaids' necklaces.

I am absolutely amazed. White is the correct shade for her, Evelyn thought as Elizabeth made her way up the aisle with a beaming Governor Swann as her escort.

As Elizabeth took her place at the altar, across from Will, Evelyn sat downand looked at the both of them. She stared at their eyes. She stared at Will's eyes and at Elizabeth's eyes. She saw how they both exchanged a look of, well, to be truthful, a look of pure love.

At this point, the priest already started to talk. He was saying something about how marriage was one of the highest expressions of a couple's love and so on and so forth. He then started to tell a story from the Bible where God stated the importance of marriage.

Normally Evelyn would have listened to this part since she was a little religious, but she started to not listen to what the priest was saying. She knew that what he was saying was very important, but his voice sounded very dull and monotonous. He was quite boring to listen to and talking the way he did just made her want to throw a book at him.

Evelyn started to think about Will again. How, when she and Will were little children, used play outside together. They used to do everything together, Evelyn and Will. She used talk about her parents (mostly hers since it was very hard for him to talk about his father), what they would do and be when they would grow up, and other mindless things children would talk about.

Evelyn remembered how her mom and dad used to invite Will for supper, occasionally. Will always loved Evelyn's moms' cooking, especially her wonderful cookies. He had always tried to sneak into the kitchen to snatch a few cookies. However, her mom had always caught him and told him to wait until after supper. He used to always give her the puppy-dog eyes look. Evelyn's mom had a soft spot for that look and gave him a cookie every time

Evelyn smiled at that memory because that was one memory that she will never forget. Eventually, Evelyn and Will had started to grow older and spent less and less time together. He had been learning the trade of being a blacksmith from his guardian, Mr. Brown so that took up most of his time. She had understood that and had tried to visit whenever she could.

However, they had promised each other to always be there for one another no matter what. The other part of his time was Elizabeth. He had become more and more enamored with her with each passing year. Evelyn's heart would break a little more with each passing year; having to see him look at Elizabeth the way Evelyn looked at him was quite unbearable most of the time. And Evelyn wished with all her heart that it was her that he looked at like that.

The priest next words brought Evelyn back to the present. He said, "Bring forth the rings." A cute little boy, who could have been no more than four-years old, walked forward and handed the priest the rings.

"Elizabeth and Will have decided to write their own vows. They will now recite them," the priest said.

Evelyn decided that she wanted to listen to this part so she actually started to pay attention. She leaned a little forward in her seat and listened intently.

Elizabeth started speaking, "William, from the moment we first met, I always knew that you were a special person. Since that day I have come to know you as a kind, courageous, generous, and loving man. Now our love as grown so much that the only place it can take us to is marriage. So with this ring I promise to love, cherish, and care for you until death us do part."

Then she put the ring and his finger and he looked like he didn't want it there.

Evelyn looked at his face, at that moment, and she frowned. A moment ago, when he looked at Elizabeth, he looked at her with love. However, now he looked like he did not want this marriage to happen. He looked like he didn't even love Elizabeth anymore.

Oh. My. Goodness. Of course he still loves Elizabeth. Do not get any hopeful thoughts just because of one look Evelyn, Evelyn scolded herself.

Then all of a sudden and for some strange reason, fate intervened and knocked Evelyn's purse out of her hands. Now under normal circumstances, it would not have made that much sound. However, in the silence of the chapel, it sounded like the running of the bulls in Spain.

Will looked up at Evelyn and smiled that heart-melting, knee-weakening, brain-numbing smile that she saw before when he first looked at her before the ceremony started.

Then she smiled back at him politely, gave him one of those what-can-you-do looks, and muttered a few apologies to the people next to her as she picked up her purse from the floor and sat back down.

Elizabeth then cleared her throat to get his attention and focus back on the wedding ceremony and vows. Even though Evelyn thought that everyone in the chapel knew that his mind was not on his wedding ceremony.

After Evelyn realized at this fact herself, she began to get even more confused and a little scared at the thought that Will might actually be thinking about her instead of his wedding ceremony.

He can not possibly be thinking about me or even remotely as anything as close to me. He is thinking about Elizabeth and the wedding ceremony. He has to think about them. Oh, good grief Evelyn. Pull yourself together, Evelyn thought to herself. Before she started to think some more, Will started to speak.

Will cleared his throat and coughed a few times before he started, "Uh, ahem, sorry, uh, Elizabeth from the first day I laid my eyes on your wonderful, beautiful face, I began to fall in love with you and that love has grown with time. Now you make me feel more alive, loved, and energized than any other person I have ever met before in my entire life. You truly are a guiding light in my life and for that I am more grateful than words could ever express to you. So now with this ring I pledge my love, devotion, and undying gratitude to you."

His vows were so beautiful and moving that Evelyn felt tears starting to come to her eyes, threatening to spill over and to run down on her face. Now more than ever, she wanted to be the one those vows were meant to; not Elizabeth, but her. Then he slid the obnoxiously large ring onto her finger and she looked at it like she loved it more than life itself.

He cannot go through with this. Please, dear Lord, do not let him go through with this, Evelyn thought as she looked at both Elizabeth and Will.

Then Evelyn shouted in her head and said, Oh, for Heaven's sake. I thought that? Oh, for the life of William I can not believe I thought such a thing.

Well, of course you thought such a thing, you silly goose of a girl. Goodness gracious child you are in love with him. What are you so afraid of? Why are you so afraid to admit your true feelings for the little fool? Evelyn rationally thought.

It was like there was a battle inside Evelyn's mind. There was a part of her that panicked at the thought that Will might be in love with her that was why he seemed to look like he did not want to go on with the wedding.

Then there was this other part of her that was calm, rational, and tried to convince the majority of her-self that there was truly hope that Will was in love with her too.

Oblivious to her thoughts, even though it looked like he was having the same ones, Will continued to look at Elizabeth.

Evelyn looked at him with yet another confused stare. Hold on and let me retrace back my footsteps. Will is having the same thoughts as me? Lord. Help me now. He could not possibly have the same thoughts as me. Could he? Evelyn thought again. Oh, bollocks. Never mind. It is absolutely too complicated for my own liking, Evelyn exclaimed in her mind.

The ceremony continued on as the priest began to speak, "Now that you have exchanged your vows and rings, Elizabeth Rachel Swann, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

Then with a look in her eyes so happy that you knew this was what she was waiting for her entire life, she said, "I do."

The priest then turned to Will and said, "William James Turner, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

Do keep in mind that ever since he said his vows, Evelyn sat there and whispered to herself, "He simply can not go through with this. Please do not let him go through with this."

Then Will did something that surprised Evelyn and the rest of the chapel very much; after he hesitated and looked back and forth between Evelyn and Elizabeth. (Goodness gracious did he surprise her).

He looked right at Evelyn and said, "I...I...do not."

A very audible and practically simultaneous gasp went up through the entire chapel at this last remark.

Elizabeth looked at him like he had just lost his marbles. Evelyn looked at him with her mouth open and with her eyes as if they were about to fall out of their sockets at any moment. She really did not expect that from him at all.

Then in the crowd someone started to scream, "Are you bloody mad!"

Then it was followed by another person yelling, "You confounded git!"

After a few more random outbursts, some of which were directed at Evelyn like: "This is your entire fault!" while Will managed to get everyone's attention.

He then started to explain, "Elizabeth, I love you more than life itself. Really I do, but I just don't want to tie you down into a loveless marriage. Also, there is someone else."

He finished, looked up at Evelyn with those chocolate-brown eyes of his, and she saw hope. Not hope that Elizabeth wouldn't be mad at him, but hope that she would not be angry with him for making it seem like she were the reason that the most lavish wedding Port Royal has ever seen was ending incomplete.

There is someone else? Me? Sweet... mother's... tooth. He is in love with me, since when? Evelyn yelled so many thoughts in her mind that she felt like her head was going to explode.

Elizabeth followed his gaze towards Evelyn with tears and mascara running down her face. She picked up her frilly, gorgeous wedding dress and stomped over to...exactly where Evelyn was seated!

Now Evelyn was normally not one to scare easily, but she knew that even hell hath no fury like a woman scorned so this was obviously hell at its worst.

So she stomped over to Evelyn, looking ever so gorgeous in her white dress, and said, "I love William, which means I want him to be happy, even if it means that he has to leave me at the altar for another woman," she looked back at him with loving eyes.

Then she turned back to her and said, "However, I swear to you, with God as my witness, if you break his heart I will snap your bloody neck into fifteen distant pieces. Understand?"

She didn't even wait for an answer before she stormed off down the aisle alarmingly fast, to say she was wearing one of those incredibly binding corsets.

Now Elizabeth's father was the one who was wearing the white mask of shock, surprised that his lovely daughter was even capable of such violent thoughts.

All the same, he turned to William and said, "I knew she should have married the Commodore," before he ran over to Evelyn and apologized for his daughter's rash behavior.

He said, "The rush of sadness and anger, you know, it can make a woman crazy." Then he followed the trail of white tulle to comfort his hurting daughter.

Now Will turned and apologized to everyone for ruining the wedding. Then he said that there was still going to be a reception at the Governor's house that might happen if anyone wanted to go. After all of this, Evelyn was left sitting there, still staring as if she had been shocked by an incredibly large eel and seemed as if she would never fully recover.

Finally, Evelyn stood up, walked over to where Will stood (which was somewhere relatively in the middle of the chapel), and looked into his eyes. He looked right back at her.

There were so many questions that Evelyn wanted to ask him that she didn't even know where to begin. She began to open her mouth, but he silenced her by placing two fingers onto her lips. He shook his head at her as if to imply that they would talk about everything later.

He said, "Evelyn, I'll explain everything later, but at this moment I have one question to ask you."

"What do you want to ask me, Will?" she asked him.

"Evelyn, may I kiss you?" He asked her.

Evelyn looked up at him and he looked down at her, waiting patiently for her to answer him back. "Yes, Will. You may," she said.

She smiled at him and he returned her smile with one of his own.

He then wrapped his arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around his neck. He lowered his head towards her and kissed her gently and tenderly on the lips.

She kissed him back tenderly and like she had wanted to for so very long. Now she didn't know exactly how long that kiss lasted. However, when she finally let go and looked around, the chapel was empty, except for one drunken pirate.

He started clapping, saying, "Good show, Will…very, very good show. So now how's about you and your new lass come with me and me crew to Tortuga to celebrate your new...uh...relationship?"

Then Will looked at Evelyn and asked, "Do you want to?"

And she of course knew that he loved the sea and that it was where he belonged, so she said, "To Tortuga."
