Chapter Two_______________________________



The young couple sat under the tree. The woman in a plae blue dress, the man in brown pants and a white shirt. They held hands. The woman looked at the moon, the man looked at the woman.

" It is a shame Jack is behaving so. He might not be stuck inside if he were not in such a stupor." said the woman. the man nodded. " Will, I am so glad he could come to our wedding."

" Yes, Elizabeth, it makes it all the more merrier." They drew close their lips lingering when a man ran up to them.

" Sir!" the man said. " Sir it is an emergency!" The man looked terribly frightened. Will and Elizabeth looked at eachother.

" What is wrong?" asked Elizabeth

" He pushed her in, a man.. a man pushed her in." the man took a deep breath. Elizabeth noted that he was not that old. He seemed in such a hurry.

" Slow down." Elizabeth said kindly.

" A man, he pushed a woman in the water. I can't swim, I tried to get her to come to me, she seemd scared. I didn't know where to go to get help. Mr Turner I though you could help." The man seemed to have calmed some, but he still breathed quickly. His hair had been blown askew and his face was wet with sweat. His pants were wet up to the shins. He wrung his hands together waiting for a reply.

" Of course he will." said Elizabeth fearing the man might soon faint if he didn't start moving. She ignorred the startled expression on her beau's face. " Lead the way." she said. The thought of pirates briefly flew across her mind.

The trio came to the beach. Elizabeth pulled up her skirts and kicked off her shoes. She waded into the water. The men followed. " Elizabeth! Is that her?" asked Will pointing at a purple heap riding the dark waves. It did not move.

" Will, go to her!." Elizabeth said. Will waded past her and then swam to the person in the distance. Elizabeth turned to the young man that was soem feet behind her. " What is your name?"

" Thomas, Thomas Giles." he said looking at Will and the floating woman. He quickly looked away, his face very pale.

" Well Thomas. Go to the place where you found us. Ask the inn keeper for a Mr. Smith or Commodore Norrington. Bring one of them back here."

Thomas nodded and quickly waded and then ran off up the beach. Will returned with the woman. Elizabeth and Will pulled her onto the beach.They knelt around her. " Will, is she breathing?"

" I am not sure." He pressed on the woman's stomache.

Bess tried to hold in the water. As the man pushed on her stomache. He put more weight on her. She spit out the water.

" Will! She is alive!" said a woman, Bess could not tell if the man was still there.

" I know Elizabeth, were did that boy go."

" His name is Thomas Giles. He went to get Jack or Norrington."

" I go see if I can help." Bess could hear the man leaving them.

" Hurry Will, please Hurry." The woman was still with her. Bess slowly lifted her eyes, then glanced upon the woman. The woman looked at her. Bess tried to contain the laughter. The woman wore a look of utter suprise. It was almost priceless, almost.

" Oh, your awake." said the woman.

" Where am I? " asked Bess, sugar coating her voice. She thought she did well. The woman seemed to buy it as her real voice.

" You're safe. I am Elizabeth Turner." said the woman named Elizabeth. " Help is on the way."

" Thank-you." said Bess, pretending to faint she closed her eyes.

After what seemed like hours Bess heard people approaching. She flicked open her eyes. " Will where is the man who showed us where she was?" asked Elizabeth.

" He... fainted."

Bess looked at the man named Will. His brown hair went down his neck. He now had a vest on. His white shirt still looked wet. His pants seemed dry. ' To bad I'm not here for that kind of fun. I wonder if he is married.' Bess thought. Bess looked at Elizabeth, Elizabeth was smiling lightly at Will. ' On second thought, better stay away from him.' Bess thoguht quickly. Elizbeth's look was of love.

" She's awake?" Will asked. Elizabeth nodded. At that momment Jack Sparrow stumbled over the sand. Bess's reflexs jumped into action. She lurched forward to avoid getting sand in her hair. ' Not that it matters.' her mins sighed. She looked Jack over.

His outlined in black, it gave him an exotic look that Bess had once loved. ' Still as beautiful as when we met.' she thought then quickly put herself back into the right perpesctive. ' It will be to bad when I ruin that." His hair was tangled and his head was wrapped in the red scarf that he always wore. ' Hasn't changed a bit.' She looked at his usual clothing her eyes lingering at his half unbuttoned shirt. She could see his tan skin underneath. She shivered then quickly looked away. ' Keep your mind straight Bess. Oh great I have to reming myself." she thoguht

" Now what was so important that you had to drag me away from me rum?" Jack asked, swaying a bit.

" Jack, do try and use your eyes! This woman nearly drowned." said Elizabeth slighty annoyed.

Jack turned his head to look at the woman on the ground. His eyes widdened. " Woman, that isn't a woman!" He shouted.

' Oh there goes his chance.' Bess thought.

" Your not much of a man in bed." Bess muttured under her breath. Nobody headr her.

" Of course she is Jack, stop being so...so impossible." Elizabeth sadi.

" No, Bess Black is anything but a lady Elizabeth, she is a devil!"

" Well she's a woman none the less." said Will.

" Jack I find it hard to believe what you say when you are drunk." Elizabeth said." You must have mistaken her for someone else."

" I would never forget that face as long as I live. She might wear a dress but she isn't 'bout to fool me." he said

" You best not forget htis face, you'll see it intill your dying day." Bess muttered, no one heard again.

" Come now Jack, you must be mistaken. Lets get her cleaned up and you'll see." She looked to Bess. " Come with me."

Jack watched them leave. He saw Bess' shoes. " Boots." he mutterd.

" What?" asked Will.

" Nothin' mate. Lets go have another round of rum." Jack said looking hopeful, but not feelign it.

" I think you have had enough for one night." said Will as he steered Jack in the direction Elizabeth had gone.

" You believe me. Don't you will my boy?" Jack said stumbling over the words and sand as he and Will crossed the beach.

" Jack I might believe you think you know her, but you are drunk." Will said as if anyone needed reminding.

" Aye, well I 'ave not been to Port Royal in many a month. I was just celebrating." Jack grinned. " A real fire that one." He said looking ahead where Bess and Elizabeth walked.

" What one." asked Will getting slightly annoyed with Jack.

" Bess 'o course."

" All right, Jack, all right."
