Chappy 3
Instead of air, all that William Turner found was the cold water of the Caribbean.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Onboard the Black Pearl, Barbossa, his crew, and his captives watched as a mighty explosion ripped the Interceptor apart. The surface of the water was now littered with various pieces of the ship. As the smoke cleared, Elizabeth and Jack's crew watched in disbelief as the remains began to plummet deep into the Caribbean.
All that was left was the lingering stench of burned wood and used gunpowder. All this had happened in a mere matter of moments, but to Elizabeth, it may as well have lasted a lifetime.
As she looked on in horror, she thought back upon the day she had met Will.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A young Elizabeth Swann stood at the bow of a ship. She was eight years younger, but even then it was clear that she would soon be capturing the hearts of young Port Royal gentlemen. She was distracted however, when she saw a parasol float by the hull of the ship.
As she watched it, she became aware of something out of the corner of her eye. She turned toward it, and gasped.
There, floating in the water was a boy, riding what looked to be a large piece of wood.
"Look, a boy! There's a boy in the water!" She cried, pointing out the figure. Elizabeth's eyes were wide as the crew hauled him onboard. Captain Norrington turned towards Governor Swann, who was also on the ship. "He's still breathing." He began a more thorough examination of the lad, but it was cut short by a clear utterance by Gibbs.
"Mary, Mother of God!" Immediately, all turned to look where he was pointing, and many gasps were heard as an incredible sight was viewed.
There, not two hundred yards away, a large merchant ship was ablaze and swiftly sinking towards the depths of the sea. It was apparent there would be no other survivors as the smoke cleared, for the entire ship had been decimated. The boy appeared to be the only survivor.
As the crew rummaged around for their spare boats, Governor Swann spoke to Elizabeth. "Elizabeth I want you to accompany the boy. He'll be in your charge. Take care of him."
Her father then turned away to converse further with Captain Norrington.
As Elizabeth watched the boy, he woke suddenly. He was shivering, no doubt the water was cold, the thin blanket they had given him had done almost nothing, for he was chilled to the bone. "It's okay. My name's Elizabeth Swann." She reassured him, for he definitely needed it.
"W-W-Will Turner." He stammered out.
"I'm watching over you Will." As she watched, he fainted, testimony to the turmoil he was in. She then discovered the medallion, which would play a great part in years to come. Elizabeth pocketed the goldpiece, and wondered if indeed, the boy was a pirate.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Remembering the promise she made to Will all those years ago, she felt as if she had failed him.
The boy she had sworn to protect was gone. All of Elizabeth's thoughts and hopes vanished along with the Interceptor. Too soon had she found she truly loved Will Turner, and too soon did he slip away.
Elizabeth began to sob uncontrollably, and even Gibbs could not console her. The remainder of the crew looked away, unable to see the young lass cry. Although they had reputations as being scalawags, that didn't mean they didn't have hearts.
Captain Barbossa turned away from the wreckage, and heard the girl sobbing. "What be wrong with ya lass? Surely ya didn't miss me company that badly!" He and his crew laughed uproariously at that.
All Jack's crew could do was glare at the opposing pirates, and wonder what fate would hold in store for them. The Black Pearl then set a course towards Isla de Muerta, where hopefully, the long-lasting curse would be broken. In his haste, Captain Barbossa had missed a very important detail.
Where was the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow?
When Will felt the blast, he immediately tried to suck in the air that was forced out of him. Unluckily for him, all that filled his lungs was water. He panicked, and fought his way to the surface.
The blast had knocked him further underwater than before. He kicked for the surface, using his rapidly waning strength. Will Turner found himself weakening; he had swallowed quite a bit of water. He struggled a little more, but soon found that the bright surface of the water was turning black.
He struggled to understand this, when it dawned on him.
He was drowning.
As he contemplated this, the few air bubbles that escaped from his mouth began to lessen.
Soon, all struggles ceased, and William Turner's world went black.
Bwahahahahah!!!!! Man I'm evil!!!! Review, I'll get another chappy up fer ya!!!!
(I hated writing this chapter!! That's pretty bad when even the authoress hates herself for what she's done to our Will Turner!!!)
