Chapter 1: The argument
"Gruesome out tonight," stated Will as he looked out the window at the foggy night sky. "You can hardly see the buildings below." But, Will was unaware that Elizabeth wasn't listening to one word he was saying. She was quietly sitting at the mirror, brushing out her hair. The living situations had much changed for her since she had moved in with Will. She was used to living in a large house with a full staff that included everything from a gardener, to her own maid. Here, the kitchen, the bedroom, the bathroom and the dining room were all in one cramped room. She still had a lot to get used to.
"Hmm?" she finally said, looking up. Will just shook his head and was about to sit down when he heard a knock at the door. "I'll get it," he said non-chalantly as he got up. He opened the door to a puny messenger. "
"Are you William Turner?"
"Yes."
"Got a letter for ya."
"Thank you," Will said as he shut the door. He opened up the seal on the letter, and as he read it, a confused look ran across his face.
"What is it?" asked Elizabeth.
"It's Jack. He's been captured."
"Jack? Jack Sparrow?"
"Well, how many Jacks do we know?"
"Jack Sparrow would never get captured. And, how? What about his crew?"
"All it says is that they need our help."
"Well, let's go, then."
"Elizabeth? Are you bloody insane? I nearly risked my life to save him on the Black Pearl last time. I'm not going to do it again.
"I thought Jack was your friend! And, he helped you rescue me from Captain Barbossa! You should only repay him."
"I don't want to risk losing you," he said as he ran his fingers through her hair. "It's not worth it."
"Well, you'll lose me even more if we can't go," she said, walking towards the bed and lying down.
"You're going to bed?"
She didn't answer, so he got into bed himself and blew out the flame. He looked towards her, but her back was facing him, and he knew what he had said was not what she wanted to hear. He closed his eyes and went to sleep.
