Will stood on the dock of Port Royal, waiting for a glimpse of the "Emerald" sailing in. Elizabeth was finally returning after two whole long months. He simply couldn't wait to see her. He hadn't heard of any bad news about the "Emerald" at sea, but he had to see her safe and sound before he could relax. Finally after impatiently waiting for an hour, he saw a whole mass of white sails peek out from behind a large landform. The tense "grip" on his heart immediately loosened. All he had to do now was to wait for Elizabeth to come running into his arms.
Barbossa stood beside the wheel of the ship and looked across at the large piece of land approaching. He grinned a toothy smile when he looked over at his crew, working feverishly away on deck. He had been sailing towards his hometown, with a ancient compass and map. He had wanted to settle a few things, now that he was "alive" again, when he had seen the ship approaching. He had miraculously managed to climb on deck, kill the captain and take over captainship by force. The rest of the crewmembers had been too frightened to mutineer against him, when he had spoken his name.
"After all," he thought, " I AM the great, one and only Barbossa."
He was now sailing toward his hometown. It was quite a distance from the Isle de Muerta to his hometown, but important affairs had to be done. Then, he decided, with a fierce look of determination, he would go on to Tortuga, to get himself a proper crew and find that Jack Sparrow.
Elizabeth fidgeted impatiently, slightly hopping on one foot, on board the "Emerald". It had already sailed into Port Royal and was now being tied securely to the dock posts. They were taking an awful long time. She could see Will waiting for her below. She wanted to get to him now. She had had such a horrible time at sea and on land. Her father hadn't told her anything about his weird antics and the Commodore was, more than often, coming to talk to her. She couldn't understand their irritating and strange behavior and had decided she wasn't even going to try. All wanted now was Will, to give her some stability.
"Couldn't they tie the darn ship faster? Come on, come on," Elizabeth thought, when the last knot was being tied.
Once they were allowed to get aboard, she pushed her way through and nearly tumbled down the stairs, in her desire to see Will. Her foot got caught on the bottom step and she flew forward, her skirts puffed up to an absurd size behind her. The Governor and Commodore both flung out their arms, shouting " Elizabeth!" But it was plain useless, considering they were still on the ship.
Luckily, Will had grasped hold of her arm and pulled her up. She was thrown into his arms due to the impact of it all. However, she liked it. She hadn't hugged him for a long time, smelt his soft hair and held his coarse hand. She gave Will a big hug and they were both lost in silence for a moment.
Then, breaking apart, Will turned to the Governor and inquired politely about his trip.
" I do hope that everything went well, sir. And that you had an enjoyable time during your visit with Elizabeth."
" Yes, everything was fine, my boy. Lovely place the island was. We enjoyed ourselves very much, didn't we Elizabeth?"
" Yes, father, we did." But beneath her delicate sunbonnet, only Will could see her small grimace when she had answered the question. He grinned more widely and squeezed her hand.
When everyone had gotten off the ship and most of the Governor's precious and important belongings had been taken away, the Governor got into his carriage and beckoned Elizabeth in. Will gently helped her on and stood back to watch her leave. He wasn't expected to leave with them. Neither did he think that the Governor would be too appreciative of the idea.
He was rather surprised when Elizabeth poked her head out and said, " Will, what on earth are you doing standing out there? Get in the carriage!"
" Me? But, .is it all right? Don't you want to pack at home? I'm not needed for that." He was quite uncertain as of what to do; he wanted to be with Elizabeth but he felt uneasy at the Governor's expression. It was calm and collected, yet with a hint of anxiety. But he did not protest and only smiled slightly at Will.
" Why, don't be silly! I want to go for a little walk with you after that. I have lots of things to tell you! It's perfectly all right. Come on."
Will got into their carriage and they began the long journey up the hill, towards the Swann residence.
Back in her room, Elizabeth was helped out of her stifling hot dress into a much lighter one by Estelle and her other maids. They were busy helping unpack her things too. Clothes and belongings were strewn everywhere. Once Elizabeth was able to move freely again, she began frantically rummaging through her trunk for the little present she had gotten for Will. Will had been waiting outside her room, as it wasn't proper for him to be in it. He would have been bored just standing there for so long.
She burst through the doors and knocked into Will. They fell backwards into a stiff armchair, Elizabeth's hair flying all over the place. She giggled and got off Will, hiding her blush at being in such close proximity with him.
