Elizabeth had come to see if he had eaten anything. When she saw that the food hadn't been touched she grew worried but replaced it with the breakfast she had brought anyway.

"Elizabeth?"

Elizabeth nearly jumped, even if it was barely a whisper.

"Will! Your awake!" she said," I've brought some breakfast for you if you want any."

Will's stomach grumbled. "Yes, please," he said, "Thank you."

Elizabeth brought the tray over to his bed. Will started on the eggs first. Will ate quickly but not feverishly, even if he was very hungry. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Elizabeth.

After Will ate some more, Elizabeth decided to make conversation instead of watching him eat the whole time.

" How did you end up in the ocean?" she asked.

Will thought for a moment. " I don't remember how I ended up in the ocean but I do remember buying a passage to the Caribbean." And he started to quickly finish what was left on his plate since Elizabeth was starting to make conversation, and was obviously bored at watching him eat.

"Why were you going to the Caribbean?"

"Mefoth eramerch entshalor ere"

"I beg your pardon?"

Will flushed and swallowed his mouthful of food, " My father's a merchant sailor there."

" And your mother?"

Will looked up at her, "She died not too long ago."

Elizabeth bit her lip, she had asked too much. "I'm sorry"

"No," said Will, "It's alright. You see, my mother raised me, and after she died I decided to go looking for my father." It was a comfort to Will to know that he can talk to someone about himself. In fact she was the only one he's ever mentioned his mother to.

"How old are you Will?" asked Elizabeth. "Fourteen," he said. "Well," smiled Elizabeth, "That makes you three years older than I am." Will smiled too. "I have to be going now, father would want to know your condition. He put you under my charge you know."

Will gaped at her, she was a girl, and she was three years younger than him. But then he did enjoy her company.

"Well I'm glad he did," stammered Will, "Who's your father?" "Oh, well he's going to be the new governor of Port Royal," said Elizabeth, and she left the room.

Will felt himself go red, it's one thing for me to be under her charge, but it's another for her to be the governor daughter. He should be calling Elizabeth Miss Swann not Elizabeth.

Four the next four days, Will and Elizabeth became rather fond of each other. At first they were having a really great time playing hide-and-go- seek on deck. Elizabeth was happy that she had a friend her age on board to talk and play with. Until Mr. Norrington said it was uncivilized to for a young lady like Elizabeth to be running around on deck. So instead they talked. Mostly telling each other of stories they've heard, Will telling of his home back in England, and Elizabeth telling almost all the pirate stories she knew of. Will thought it was strange for a governor's daughter to have such an interest in pirates. But he never asked her about it. And seeing that Will did fancy pirates very much, she decided not to tell him her dreams of becoming one.
