Author's Note: Commodore Norrington has some jealousy that he didn't make clear in the movie. Sorry if he seems like a jerk.
This chapter is in Elizabeth's eyes.
The party was absolutely dreadful. I sat next to my father and Commodore Norrington. Oh how they irritate me. Commodore seems pretty sure that I actually like him. Stupid oaf. He has no idea.
"Elizabeth, I understand tha--" he started.
"Call me Miss. Swann," I interrupted.
"Elizabeth," he continued, ignoring my interjection, "I understand that Will Turner, darned blacksmith he is, seems to think you enjoy his company."
"He doesn't think that--"
"I know he doesn't think at all, dear," Commodore said, thinking that's what I was going to say.
"What I was saying, is that he doesn't think I enjoy his company. He knows that I enjoy his company, because I do. He nearly died saving me from pirates, while you hold grudges against him and tried to kill Captain Jack Sparrow. Will doesn't sit on his ass like you do. He actually cares about me, not just because I'm beautiful, or that I'm the daughter of the governor, but he loves me for who I really am."
"What?! That cannot be! I love you, but I just wish you would love me too. I am clearly better for you than that blacksmith-gone-pirate," he answered.
"If you want to attempt to earn my respect, do keep your mouth shut!" I shouted before Commodore could continue.
"Elizabeth! That is no way for a young woman to behave," my father exclaimed. "Besides, I can prevent you from marrying Will, and make you marry the Commodore, so you best get on good terms with your future husband."
"I can do what I want! No one can force me, not even you, father!" I shouted, causing everyone to stare at me as I ran out of the room. I looked back to see the Commodore get up too.
He went outside, and I followed him to the blacksmith's place, though he didn't see me. I watched him walk in. A storm was coming, so I followed him in, and hid in a corner. The Commodore pulled out his rifle to kill Will with, but then the wind came and caved in the roof. Swords that hung from the ceiling fell, and one of the rafters from the roof fell on me. The last thing I saw was red and black, and Will walking out.
"HELP!" I shouted, then lost all consciousness.
