Will sighed as he finished the last sword. He wiped his hands on his pants, grabed his coat and walked out of the smithy. He closed the door, locked it then started to walk home on the deserted streets. He knew Elizabeth was probably very mad at him for staying so late but an order for 25 swords had come in at the last minute and had to be ready by the next day. He knew he had to do them but he still felt guilty. He sighed again.
Elizabeth and Will had been married for two years now. Two very happy years. They had their fights sure, but nothing serious. Will smiled as he remembered the look on Elizabeth's face when he proposed. Will looked at his house as he walked up to the front door. It was actually quite a big house, two stories and about 15 bedrooms. He and Elizabeth moved out of her father's house about six months after they were married, they just decided that they wanted a place of their own.
Will walked into the house and hung up his coat. As he made his way to his bedroom he saw Marina dusting some candlestick holders. "Marina? Where's Elizabeth?"
Marina didn't stop dusting as she answered. "She's waiting in your bedroom."
Will nodded. "Thank you."
"Your welcome sir."
"I asked you to call me Will."
Marina stopped dusting, turned around and studied Will for a moment. Then she turned back and continued her dusting. "Yes Sir Will."
Will laughed as he made his way to the bedroom. But when he opened the door his smile froze. The room was a disaster. All the candleholders, pictures, everything was torn off the walls. The bed was stripped and had several long rips in it that looked like a sword or knife did it. All the pillows were tore open. Every single drawer was pulled out and the contents thrown all over the place.
But what caught his eye was a note stuck on the wall with a dagger. Will walked closer to examine the note. What he read made his blood go cold.
Will Turner
I know you have the map of Nadia. I want it. And in case you are wondering I also took your wife, just to make sure you brought the map. You are to go to Tortuga and wait further instructions there. You have thirty days to get to your final destination. If you do not get here by the thirtieth day, your wife dies.
If you need proof that I indeed have your wife, just look at the dagger. I found it on your wife's leg.
You have thirty days.

Will grabbed the dagger and pulled it from the wall. He looked over every inch of it. It was Elizabeth's alright. It had her initials he carved on the hilt. Will closeed his eyes and leaned against the wall for support while breathing in deeply trying not to panic. This couldn't be happening. He could barely believe it. She was gone. She was really gone. He rubed his forehead as he slid to the floor, still leaning against the wall.
Suddenly Marina poked her head in. One look around and she knew something was wrong. Her first clue was the room was in shambles. Her second was Will on the floor, staring into space. "Sir? What happened? Is everything alright?" Marina asked as her eyes traveled around the room.
Will shook his head, but didn't look up. "Don't worry about it Marina, what do you need?"
Marina tore her eyes away from the ripped bed and looked at Will. "There's a man at the door sir, he said that he is a friend of yours. He also said that it was an emergency and to let him in this bloody minute."
Will looked up. "Who is it?"
"He said his name was Captain Jack Sparrow. And he made it a point of reminding me three times that it was Captain Jack Sparrow, not Jack Sparrow but Captain Jack Sparrow"
Wills eyes lit up at the mention of his old friend, and he chuckled at Marina's frustration with him and his title. "Bring him in."
Marina nods and left to get Jack. A few moments later Jack walked in the room but stopped when he saw the state it was in. His eyes traveled over everything, the walls, bed, and floor until they came to Will. "What happened?"
Will inhaled sharply and avoided Jacks eye. "Elizabeth was kidnapped."
"How do you know?" Jack asked as he looked around the room again.
"He left a note." Will handed Jack the note. After Jack finished reading it he frowned.
"Well that's not good."
"Of course that's not good." Will said as he stood up "Elizabeth is kidnapped and all you can say is that's not good!?"
Jack grabbed Wills arm and lead him to the bed, making him sit down. "I'm sorry about Elizabeth. I came here to warn you but I'm obviously too late."
"Warn me? Will asked with a frown. "How did you know she was going to get kidnapped?"
Jack sighed. "I didn't know she was going to get kidnapped, all I knew was that she might get kidnapped. "
"And how did you know that?"
"The legend of Nidias chest has been going around again." Jack said as he examined the note.
"So?"
Jack looked up at Will. "You don't know about Nidias chest?"
Will shook his head. "Never heard of it."
Jack begins to walk up and down the room as he begins to explain. "Nidia was this rich lady. She had millions and millions of doubloons. Every person within a hundred miles new this, resulting in many attempted burglaries. She finally got sick of it and decided to bury the money on an uncharted island. So she put all the doubloons in a chest and locked it with a curse. The only way anyone could open it was with the blood of one of her relatives. She knew that the chances of getting to the island and getting back home safely were very slim, so she gave her brother a map that had the bearings of the island on it. That way if she didn't make it, he would be able to go and get the money." Jack stopped for a moment before continuing. "As legend has it, she made it to the island and buried the doubloons, but she never made it back home. On the return trip pirates attacked her ship. When they found that the money was already gone they killed her and the crew then set fire to the ship. Many people have searched for this treasure but none have found it. It eventually died down. But now people are talking about it again. And this time most of them know who has the map. Or at least a guess."
The whole time Jack had been explaining Will had just sat there staring at him. Now he blinked. " Interesting. Tell me again. What does this have to do with Elizabeth?"
Jack stopped pacing and stood in front of Will. "The rich lass, the one who had all the money.her full name was Nidia Swann."
