The wind was howling and the miles of treacherous sea were becoming wilder with each passing minute. It was as if the unpredictable weather was mimicking the mood inside Commodore James Norrington's cabin.
Jessie Turner walked lazily into the room and flopped herself onto a nearby chair, staring intently at Norrington, who stood in front of her and shook his head disbelievingly. "Why are you here again Miss Smith?"
"You asked one of your lovely marines to bring me here, don't you remember?"
James Norrington sighed and closed his eyes; he was quickly losing his patients with this woman. "You make me feel like ramming my head into the wall."
"I have that effect on people." She said, smiling sweetly and batting her eye lashes.
"Why are you on this ship?" He bawled, throwing his hands up in the air. Jessie was about to answer, when a knock was heard at the door.
"What!" Norrington and Jessie yelled in unison.
Governor Swann slowly opened the door and peaked inside. "I…just wanted to see if everything was alright." He mumbled, looking quite scared. "I heard yelling."
James Norrington coughed nervously. "Everything is fine sir." He said angrily, more angry then he wanted to sound. The Governor nodded quickly and left the room, shutting the door behind him.
"Good show James." Jessie said smirking "You almost killed the Governor."
"I can't believe I just did that." He whispered, slapping his forehead.
"I guess I bring out the worst in you." Jessie said laughing. "Did it feel good?" James looked at her with confusion.
"What?"
"Did it feel good to lash out at an authority figure much like yourself?" she asked. "I'm guessing you've never done that before it must have been thrilling."
James Norrington sat on his bed, deep in thought. "It felt…well…good." He said, blushing.
"Ha!" Jessie whooped, clapping her hands together. "I knew it!"
"You knew what?"
Jessie got up from where she was sitting and plopped herself beside James Norrington, grinning. "I knew that under that ugly wig and all that propriety was a rebel just waiting to come out!".
"A rebel." James repeated, half smiling.
"Aye." She said, grinning at him. "You have finally squared with your inner pirate."
James Norrington laughed wholeheartedly. "My inner pirate?"
"You know you should laugh more often, you have a fine laugh." She whispered.
James looked at Jessie with a soft smile. "No one has ever said that to me before, not even Elizabeth."
As soon as he said her name, the carefree Commodore was snapped back to reality. "Why are you on the Interceptor?" He asked sternly.
Jessie sighed and got up. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Try me." He replied, getting up as well.
Jessie turned back to the Commodore and locked eyes with him. "Your fiancé has something of great importance to me."
"What would that be?" He asked curiously.
"A cursed piece of gold dear Commodore, and I need it back."

"Well, what do ye think Gibbs?" Jack asked, turning to his friend. Gibbs cocked his head to one side and gazed at the stolen ship thoughtfully.
"Like ye said before Jack, It's no Pearl but it will do." He said smiling.
"Excellent!" Jack grinned, slinging his arms around Gibbs and Ana Maria's shoulders. "Let's go get me Pearl!"
As the three comrades entered the small ship, two uneasy crew mates gave each other worried glances. "He's bringing another man aboard; ye think he's slowly replacing all of us?"
"I wouldn't doubt it." His friend replied, glaring angrily at Jack Sparrow. "He's already replaced out captain so why not his crew?"
"We've got to do something!" Another man yelped. "I've got three kids to feed, I need this job."
"Alright mates, I've got an idea…" Another man whispered, motioning his crew mates to come closer.

As William Turner entered Elizabeth's cozy cabin, he couldn't help but pause and look around his surroundings. Elizabeth's room, much like her room back in Port Royal, it was beautifully decorated. There was a rather large bed with linen sheets in the corner, a small window overlooking the sea, and a desk with a bowl of water and a wash cloth on it.
"You like it?" Elizabeth asked from behind a stunned Will Turner.
"It's amazing." He said, turning to smile at the governor's daughter. "This ship reminds me a lot of the Black Pearl."
"I imagine that the Pearl is much more beautiful." She said, walking to toward the desk to retrieve the water and wash cloth.
William grinned and circled his arms around Elizabeth's waist. "One day we will sail on the pearl and you will see for you self what she really is." Elizabeth leaned back into Will and sighed.
"One day soon I hope." She whispered, turning around to hug Will tightly, as if she was afraid he would disappear.
"I missed you Will." She said softly, looking up into his chocolate orbs. She felt as if they were a door into his very soul, a soul filled with love and loyalty toward her. "I thought I'd never see you again."
Will sighed and closed his eyes, breathing in her sweet aroma. "You smell good." He said, causing Elizabeth to giggle into his chest.
"I promised you that I would always protect you." He reminded her with a soft smile as he caressed her cheek softly. "I intend to keep my promise." He whispered as his lips descended to hers, kissing them softly.
Elizabeth could taste the salty sea on his lips as she rolled her tongue over them, savouring the taste. As she wrapped her arms around his neck and brought his body closer to hers, she felt Will wince in pain. Elizabeth immediately pulled away and shoved a disappointed William onto the bed. "I need to clean your would, before it becomes infected."
Will groaned and shook his head. "It doesn't need to be cleaned; it will heal on its own." He pouted, looking at her with puppy dog eyes.
Elizabeth snorted as she dabbed the cloth into the warm water. "We can finish what we started after we finish this." She said seductively. "Now take off your shirt."
"Right away luv!" William exclaimed with mirth in his eyes as he saluted Elizabeth and quickly took his shirt off.
As Elizabeth started cleaning his wound, she could not help but stare at William's tanned chest and toned stomach. Will's pirating ways had done his body a world of good.
"See something you like?" Will asked, raising his eyebrows at the blushing girl in front of him, who huffed and tried much harder to concentrate on the task at hand.
"You know my dear." He began with amusement in his voice, causing Elizabeth to narrow her eyes. "You are being far too bold."
"Are you using my own words against me!" She laughed, smacking Will playfully.
"Why yes I am Miss Swann, what are you going to do about it?"
"Well I…"
Will quickly pulled her body towards his as he kissed her soft smooth lips, silencing her immediately as she melted into his warm embrace. William gently leaned Elizabeth back into the bed and moved on top of her, never letting his lips leave hers. As Will continued kissing Elizabeth he ran his hands through her silky long hair as he slowly moved them down her back.
Elizabeth sighed contently as she moved her hands down Will's back, letting Will shower her with kisses as he moved from her lips to her neck, and began making their way to her chest.
"Elizabeth!"
Will shot up, slamming his head off the bed's headboard, causing the hat and wig he was wearing to fall off, showing his true identity.
Commodore Norrington stood in the doorway, looking completely horrified and a little shocked. Jessie ran up to Elizabeth's cabin, peaking though the doorway.
"Oh lord." She groaned, placing her head on the door frame.
"Marines!" Norrington shouted, his smouldering eyes never leaving the two people on the bed. Six navy men quickly came,
"Take this pirate to the brig." The marines immediately grabbed Jessie and started to leave.
"Not that pirate, the one on the bed." He shouted, rolling his eyes.
"No!" Elizabeth shouted, her eyes growing wide with fear. "It's not what it seems." She whispered.
"She was just cleaning my wound." Will explained, laughing nervously.
"Oh?" Norrington asked, as the marines grabbed Will and roughly pulled him off the bed. "Is the wound on your lips?"
Let him go!" Elizabeth demanded, trying to pull her love away from the officers. "I am the governor's daughter, you must listen to me."
Norrington sighed sadly and started to walk out of the room. "Take him away."
Jessie shook her head sadly and looked from James to Will and Elizabeth. "This isn't good."
