Will slowly opened the door to his cabin so he would not wake the sleeping woman. He peeked inside and found she had moved an inch. Not knowing exactly what to do, he decided just to lie down beside her and wait. She did not seem in any distress but Will could see that the side of her face was turning black and blue. He had just gotten comfortable when she started moving slightly. A moan escaped her lips.
"Good morning," Will said softly, "are you feeling better?"
She slowly turned over and looked around. She saw Will in the same bed as she but they were both dressed. A look of confusion was showing on her face. "What happened and where am I?"
"Do you not remember what happened last night?"
She shook her head slightly and stopped because it hurt.
"Last night two men tried to kidnap you. I stepped in to rescue you but one of them threw you into a wall. That's how your face became bruised."
The lady put her hand up to her face and as took his hand and touched the top of her head. She flinched from his touch.
"Looks like you have quite a lump there."
"Yes, I guess that's why my head hurts so badly," she said trying to smile. "And what is the name of my brave rescuer?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you might remember it from last night. I'm Will Turner and you are aboard the Black Pearl, I'm the first mate here."
She looked confused once again and started to stand but as she did she swayed and Will barely caught her before she fell.
"Thank you again," she said weakly.
Will gently picked her up and put her on the bed. "Maybe you should eat something to gain your strength before trying to get up."
"Yes, I guess you are right," she said looking into Will's brown eyes.
"I did not get your name last night," Will said. Then suddenly the lady's look went to panic. "What's wrong? Are you alright?"
"It's just, well I, I don't know. Will, I don't know my name." Tears began to well up in her eyes. Will sat down beside her and she leaned into his shoulder. He didn't exactly know what to do so he gently put his arms around her. She sank deeper into his chest and small sobs were coming from her. Will just held her tight and tried to comfort her.
After some time her crying subsided, Will told her to rest while he went to get her some food. She nodded and closed her eyes. Will looked back at her, she looked so sad curled up in a ball looking so lost. He walked up on deck to find Jack before going to get her some food.
"Jack. I think we have a small problem," Will started.
"Hmm. Something about the young lady," Jack asked smiling.
"Jack look, I'm going to get her some food and then you need to come down to my cabin so we can talk. Jack – she doesn't remember who she is or anything that happened for that matter."
"Will, I am going back to Tortuga for a bit then I'll meet you in your cabin with the young lass."
With that Jack left Gibbs in charge on deck, while Will took care of the guest on the Pearl and Jack went to ask questions. He needed to find out who she was and was there any connection with one Will Turner.
