Chapter 4:
A/N: Hey, here's the next chapter, hope u like it as usual and blah blah.pls give me reviews!!! I want MORE reviews!!!! Tell me if it's too mushy and fluffy.
Will got up from the armchair and nervously smoothed his shirt. A similar blush had spread across his tanned golden face. He looked up at Elizabeth, who was busily trying to put her strands of hair back in their place.
After a while, she looked up, and said pleasantly, " Shall we go now?"
Will nodded his head, before noticing a lock of honey hair stuck to her face. He reached over and tucked it behind her ear. Elizabeth looked up and smiled shyly, before grasping his hand and making their way down to the large acres of garden, which surrounded the Swann residence.
Captain Jack Sparrow sat glumly in the "Sea Maiden". He grabbed another tankard of rum and poured the vile stuff down his throat. Even the fact that he was back in Tortuga couldn't cheer him up. Gibbs, one of his crewmembers and a great friend, had been seriously wounded from another encounter with the British navy. He had managed to escape from them once more, immediately taking the "Black Pearl" to Tortuga. He would be quite safe from the British in Tortuga and here he could seek medical treatment for Gibbs. No one would ever try to capture him here.
" Darn those bloody British officers! Meddlesome fools!" he thought angrily.
Without Gibbs, the first mate, he would be shorthanded, and there was no one as good to replace him. Besides, he couldn't leave him in the lurch right now. He only had enough money to find a proper place for him to stay and someone to take care of him temporarily. But, he still needed more to seek proper and suitable treatment. How was he going to raid more islands with the whole British navy on his tail? Now that they had actually seen him once more, they would patrol the areas more tightly.
" Darn those bloody fools! Darn them!" he spat out.
Suddenly, he thought of a place where he could go. He wouldn't even be breaking the law. The British would be patrolling the islands, but not this one. They would never think of this place! He took hold of his things and dashed out to the inn where Gibbs and the crew were staying, his mind racing furiously.
In one of the magnificent and secluded gardens, Will and Elizabeth sat on the soft grass, chatting about the past two months. Will listened patiently to Elizabeth's rants, looking with adoration at her flushed face, clearly showing her anger at her unpleasant trip.
She went on and on, occasionally beating her fist on the ground. Just then, she noticed Will staring at her, and asked, " What are you doing? Have you been listening to me? It was such a horrible trip don't you think?"
Will nodded his head, fingering the pearl bracelet that hung delicately on Elizabeth's slender wrist. It was made from his pearls, he recognized them.
Elizabeth looked at the beautiful pearls, when she remembered about her present for Will. She reached behind her and took out his present. It was wrapped in a prettily decorated paper, and bound tightly with a velvet cloth. Will unwrapped it and out dropped a tiny gold ornament. It was a small, simple model of a sword. Engraved on one side were the words, " Love, Elizabeth".
" Do you like it? There was this jeweler who was Father's friend and I got him to mould this. I helped a little in the hammering and I scrawled on those words all by myself. I never knew that blacksmithing was so hard. I took a long while hammering it into shape." Elizabeth exclaimed excitedly.
Will looked up in amazement at her. He couldn't believe that the Governor's daughter would actually step into the hot work place and hammer out gold just for him. He knew that she must have spent a lot of effort on this. It wasn't an easy task. Hammering out the metal was very exhausting, even for an experience blacksmith like him, let alone for a girl like Elizabeth!
He couldn't resist and pulled Elizabeth into a kiss. Then he picked her up and spun her around in the air, amidst her shrieks of laughter and joy.

Captain Jack Sparrow sailed his ship into the port of Tortuga. He felt rather uneasy. He had arrived at the Isle de Muerta and had gathered as much gold and riches possible, together with his crew. However, Barbossa's corpse wasn't there anymore. He noticed some of the Aztec gold was scattered out of the chest. He had been especially careful to warn his crew not to take gold from that area. He didn't really suspect anything, as for all he knew, someone had removed Barbossa's corpse. Maybe after that day when Barbossa had died, when the British navy was here, they had removed it.
But what about the coins? Who would be so stupid as to touch them? He had been rather hasty to leave, partially because he knew that Gibbs was waiting for them with the money, to be treated and partially because he wasn't about to take any chances, what with all the cursed coins lying around.
He stepped off the ship, leaving his crewmembers to sort out the "Black Pearl". He strode off quickly to the inn where Gibbs was staying, hurrying to fetch a proper doctor. But, somehow, he just couldn't shake off that uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
