Chapter 7: Kidnapped
"It's you!" She gasped. Elizabeth backed up against the wall when she saw Commodore Norrington standing before her. "It's good to see you too, Miss Swann," he said. Elizabeth glared at Commodore Norrington. "My name isn't Elizabeth Swann anymore, Norrington, and its Turner. I'm Mrs. Turner to you," she said.
"On the contrary, Will is still a man that is supposed to be arrested and hung for his crimes. Now he has another crime against him, making the Governor's daughter marry him," Norrington said.
Elizabeth then looked over at the cradle to see Mackenzie still so fast asleep. Norrington walked over to the child with a smile. "A beautiful child, she is just as beautiful as her mother is. My fiancè," he said.
"I'm not your fiancè anymore, Norrington, I'm Will's wife. Leave my house now," she snapped.
Norrington then walked over to Elizabeth and she backed up against the wall. "I have come back for what is mine and you will be mine, Elizabeth," he said. Elizabeth fought against Norrington as he dragged her out of the room.
Norrington stopped in the hallway and looked at a soldier. "There is an infant in the room, please take extra care of the child," Norrington said.
"Yes, sir," the soldier said.
"Where are you taking me?" Elizabeth ordered.
"I am taking you home, Miss Swann, where you belong," Norrington said.
"I don't belong in Port Royal, I belong here with my husband. A man who you can never even come close to being him," she hissed.
Norrington spun around and hit Elizabeth in the face. Elizabeth fell to the floor and glared at Norrington once she stood up. Norrington then pinned her up against the wall. "I have always loved you since the day I have set eyes on you when you grew older and more beautiful. You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. Now that you have decided to throw away all that you have for some blacksmith, I will do anything just for you to keep your title as the Governor's beautiful daughter. I won't allow your title to fall apart," he said. Elizabeth then pushed Norrington away. "You mean you don't want your title to fall apart. That's right, Commodore James Norrington, I know what you're up to. You only want to marry me so it would give you a good title. I have told you before, I'm not luggage to be carried around," she hissed. Norrington grabbed Elizabeth's wrist. "You will be my wife, Miss Swann, and no one will stop me from doing so," he said.
"If you steal me from my husband, Will isn't stupid and he'll know that you took me. Will loves me so much that he'll come after his wife and daughter," Elizabeth said.
"Then I'll be waiting for him," Norrington said.
Elizabeth then gasped to see that Anamaria was held captive. "I forgot to mention that I'll be bringing Jack's wife with me too. We'll need both women that Mr. Turner and Mr. Sparrow love. I have heard that Jack Sparrow has married his first mate on The Black Pearl. I went searching for this girl when I had a soldier go up and ask every colored woman if they knew Jack Sparrow. Mrs. Sparrow over here fell into our trap. You both will be coming with us," Norrington said. Elizabeth looked over at Anamaria and watched as she was pushed rather hard towards the door. "Please, be careful with Mrs. Sparrow, she is pregnant after all," Elizabeth said. Norrington nodded to the soldier and then they dragged Elizabeth and Anamaria towards the ship.
When Will got home, there was no sign of Elizabeth or Anamaria. He went searching for them around the house but they were nowhere in sight. He found a note in Mackenzie's cradle and picked it up. He opened it and began to read it.
Mr. Turner,
I have come back for what is mine. You can tell Mr. Sparrow that his wife will do just fine as my servant once I marry Elizabeth. Your child will be fine once she is raised the proper way, not the way of a commoner. I still have the authority to hang you, so if you even think of coming after Elizabeth and Anamaria, I'll arrest you both and hang you. Don't think I won't. I have done it once and I can do it again. This is goodbye, Mr. Turner.
Commodore James Norrington
Will tore the note up and threw it to the floor. He let out a yell and fell to the floor with his hands over his face. Jack, Mr. Gibbs, and Bootstrap came running in. Bootstrap ran over to his son. "Commodore Norrington has taken them. He took them out of my own home. He took my child and my wife. I'll kill that bloody bastard, I'll kill him," Will said. Jack kneeled next to his friend. "Where is Anamaria? Did he say what he has done with my wife?" Jack asked. Will looked at Jack. "Commodore Norrington has taken her too, he'll use her as a servant once he marries my wife. He's going to use Anamaria as a slave just about," Will said. Jack stood up and slammed his fist into the wall. "Curse that man, curse him, curse him. Before you kill him, Will, let me give him a few hits," Jack said. Will nodded and stood up. "I don't care if I'll die saving my wife, I'll get her out of Port Royal. I will save her from this marriage to Commodore Norrington. We will save Elizabeth, Mackenzie, and Anamaria. We won't allow Norrington to even think about touching them," Will said.
"Aye," Jack said.
Then they looked at Bootstrap Bill and Mr. Gibbs. "TO THE SHIP!" They both yelled. Then all four of them ran out of the house and towards the ship.
Elizabeth sighed as she was locked in a cabin. She was holding Mackenzie and looked over at Anamaria. She was fast asleep with tears on her cheeks. For a strong woman, Anamaria Santos has a way of shedding tears when she had to. Elizabeth stood up and looked out the window with Mackenzie in her arms. "Look, Mackenzie, it's the sunset That was when you were born two weeks ago. The sunset was when you finally came into this world. Look at all of the colors," Elizabeth said. Mackenzie opened her brown eyes and looked up at the sky. She cooed and clapped her hands as she looked at the beautiful colors in the sky. Elizabeth smiled and then she turned around when the door opened. She turned to see Commodore Norrington standing there. "Elizabeth, I hope you can forgive me for my rash actions, but I wanted to get you away from that boy before it was too late," he said.
"It is too late, Norrington, I am married to that boy and the child I hold is our daughter. We have created this child from the love that was made throughout the years of our lives. You can't be in this family, Norrington, it has already been made," she said.
"We shall see," Norrington said.
Norrington left and Elizabeth leaned against the wall with Mackenzie still in her arms. "Will, please come get us, please," she whispered. Then she fell asleep in her place with her daughter in her arms.
Will was standing at the helm, watching Jack drink himself to stupor. He then thought back on the times he shared with Elizabeth during the pass eight years they knew each other. he sighed at the thought of losing his wife because of his family. "It's not yer fault, boy," Mr. Gibbs said. Will looked at Mr. Gibbs and let him take the helm. "How could it not be my fault? I should have stayed home that day. I knew I should have," he said.
"Ye didn't know that Norrington was going to come to take yer wife and daughter from ye. Yer only human, Will," Mr. Gibbs said.
"I don't play the part as a husband or a father well since I let Norrington take Elizabeth and Mackenzie from me," Will said.
He didn't know that Bootstrap was behind him until he felt his father grasp his shoulder gently but firmly. "Will, look at Jack, do you think he's suffering too? He too has a wife and a child kidnapped. Remember that Norrington has taken Anamaria and his unborn child too," Bootstrap said. Will looked over at Jack and sighed. He seemed to be off in another world. Will walked over and sat down near Jack. "Ye don't need to blame yer self, mate. I 'eard everything," Jack said. Will looked at his friend to see that he was looking at the ocean. "Anamaria is a strong girl, she'll be able to fight Norrington before he turns 'er into a maid," Jack said. Will sighed and shook his head. "You don't know Commodore Norrington that well then. He'll stop at nothing until he gets what he wants. So far, he wants Elizabeth and he has Elizabeth. He wants me dead and I'm going back to Port Royal to get her back and he'll kill me," Will said.
"Not if I have anything to do about it," Jack said.
Will stood up and leaned against the railing looking into the water. "And really bad eggs, drink up me 'earties yo, ho," Jack sang. Will smiled when he remembered that Elizabeth always sang that song. She taught him how to sing it too, but it wasn't the time for him to sing about pirates. He could only think about Elizabeth and Mackenzie. "I'll get to you, Elizabeth, I promise," he thought.
