Chapter 1: In the Shadows
The gentle wind surrounded her; it enveloped her in the night. She leaned on the balcony
ledge and stared out into the ocean. Elizabeth closed her eyes, a slight grin played on her
features. Her chestnut brown hair swirling around her in the warm Caribbean night.
*In less than one week I'm going to be Mrs. William Turner*
The thought made Elizabeth smile outright. She opened her eyes and stared down at the
ring Will had given her mere weeks after his defying rescue of Captain Jack Sparrow from the
noose and her, in a manner of speaking. She smiled while she played with the simple band, his
words echoed softly in her ear.
*Elizabeth, I should've told you everyday from the moment I saw you... I love you.*
She stared at the tumultuous water. Life does not always turn out the way you expect it.
A little over 5 months ago, she had expected to be engaged to Commodore James Norrington and
she had been, brief as it was...
Her brow furrowed at the thought of that day. She could remember it like it was yesterday.
They were aboard the Dauntless, moments after Captain Jack Sparrow and she had been rescued
from their tiny island prison, where they had been stranded cruelly by Captain Barbossa and his
damned crew. It was where she had promised the Commodore her hand in marriage in exchange
for him rescuing Will. She hadn't felt true to the engagement in her heart, but she had felt that it
was a necessary evil if it meant Will would be among the living. Her eyes clouded over at the
thought that her improvident actions nearly cost her any chance to be with the man she secretly
loved while it condemned her to a marriage with a man she did not.
The thought maked her shiver; she realized then that an extremely cold wind had swept
up. She hastily returned to the warmth of her room and quietly closed the balcony doors. She
laid down, letting sleep take her, while warm thoughts of Will danced through her mind.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A few feet from the house, a lone shadowy figure watched through the brush, as the girl
quickly retreated back into her room. Afraid she had seen him, he slowly crawled back a few
feet. He awaited an armed attack from the guards he had noticed protecting the front door.
None came. He sneered at the place the girl's figure had once been.
*Soon* he thought with as a sinister smile played on his lips. *Very soon, pet...*
With that he receded into the shadows of the night.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
End chapter one. Okay... little short, little slow. For you Capt. Sparrow lovers out
there, he's not far off. I promise! Please R&R!
