Elizabeth walked out of her house. She had enough time to go see Will, like what she had planned to do earlier and tell her what she had seen earlier. Her father's plans had ended earlier than what he had expected and she still had enough time to go see Will before it got too dark. She looked up at the sun to see its light slowly diminishing over the horizon.

"If only my father had not asked me to stay home. I need to talk to Will and really soon," she whispered to herself as she hurried towards the blacksmith shop.

As she headed towards the building, she saw a ship in the distance. It appeared to be idle, as if waiting for something to happen. She became slightly worried with this.

"What is going on here? What are they waiting for? Are they waiting for someone or something? Maybe, they are waiting for a good time to dock so they can get some supplies. No, wait! That ship looks like a pirate ship! I know that Commodore Norrington isn't going to like at all," she said to herself. "I have to know if Will has seen this yet. He'll have to know if he hasn't already."

She now ran for the blacksmith shop, knowing she should get there soon.

Will and Sonja were making their way through the streets, trying to get to a boat and avoid Norrington at the same time. Both knew it wasn't going to be an easy task.

"Where's this friend of yours that can help me with what I want?" Sonja wondered as they hid behind a building, out of view from the road.

"That's the problem, I don't know. He could be anywhere since he's a man of the sea. We might have a bit of searching on our hands but I promise you, we will find the man who can help you," Will replied. "Now all we have to do is find a ship or boat that can take us places to find the man I believe can help you."

"That we must do. I came here with others on another ship," Sonja replied as she glanced around the corner.

She saw a ship in the distance and paled. Will saw this and wondered what was wrong. He stared out at the ship and shrugged his shoulders.

"It's a ship Sonja. What's wrong with a ship?" he wondered.

"It's him. He's come looking for me," Sonja said, barely above a whisper. "He cannot find me here, do you hear me? He cannot find me here!"

"Who? Who's after you?" Will had to wonder.

Sonja didn't answer him. She could only gulp as she continued to stare out at the ship on the water. It appeared to Will as if something was wrong and she didn't want to talk about it. He wanted to know more but he knew better than to try and do so at that very moment. He thought he might try later. He looked at it closer to see exactly what type of ship it was and he became slightly worried about the situation.

The captain watched as members of the crew made their way towards shore. He was happy with this. He had finally tracked down what he sought after many years.

"You have gotten away from me before but not now. Not this time. Every place I follow you to, you somehow mange to leave before I have a chance to catch you but this time will be different. Very different," he quietly told himself.

He looked over his shoulder to look at the crew that stayed on board the ship. He gave a small smile.

"We will find our way to the treasure now. We will soon be rich men," the captain told them.

The ones there began to smile at each other, also knowing that they were close.

"For many years, we've been searching for the Ilsa de Muerta, for the treasure of Cortez. The treasure that Barbossa and his crew had found all those years ago. We had no chance in finding it ourselves until the day we met that young woman for she knows where more treasure was located besides Cortez's treasure and what Barbossa's crew had plundered. I will persuade her to tell us where it is," the captain said with a quiet voice as he continued to stare at Port Royal. "We all will actually."

It was slowly getting dark and he noticed this, giving a smile. "It is a good time to strike. She can not escape us now," he murmured.

Governor Swann was walking beside Commodore Norrington in the fort, talking about the day's events.

"There's a pirate in Port Royal and there's no way to get rid of him. Turner stopped us before we could do anything about it," Norrington told the governor.

"We should get rid of this nuisance as soon as possible. How could you tell it was a pirate?" wondered Swann.

"The tattoo he had on his arm. It was of a bird. Probably has some connection with Jack Sparrow for all I know. No one in Port Royal has tattoos like that. At least not that I'm aware of," replied the commodore.

Governor Swann sighed. He wanted to be rid of the man as much as Norrington did but they couldn't do anything about it at the moment. It was then that he heard gunfire in the distance.

"What is going on?" he wondered as he turned around.

Commodore Norrington looked to where the commotion was coming from before running towards the wall.

"Someone's attacking Port Royal!" he cried.

Neither of the men could believe it. The two of them remembered the last time Port Royal had been attacked by Captain Barbossa.

"Who could this be now? We have nothing that no one wants!" Swann demanded to know.

"I think we will find out soon enough," replied Norrington.

The commodore ran to help the others defend themselves against the attack as the governor hurried inside a nearby building.

###

Will and Sonja were heading towards the docks when the pirates landed on the shores of Port Royal. She looked over them do so as the two hid behind a building nearby.

"We have to move quickly and do it now before they find us," Sonja told Will.

He nodded but he was still very curious about the whole situation.

'What does she have with Captain Jack Sparrow? What connection would the two of them have? That is, of course, she is looking for Jack,' he wondered to himself.

"Will! Will, where are you?" they heard someone cry out.

Will was surprised as he recognized the voice. He raised his arms and Sonja tried to stop him.

"Elizabeth! I'm over here," he called over to her.

"What are you doing?" demanded Sonja.

Elizabeth hurried over to them and she gave Will a hug.

"What are you doing out here at this time?" Will wanted to know.

"I was looking for you to tell you something. I say someone earlier today that I thought you should know about. Also, there's a pirate ship out on the water. I fear they're going to attack Port Royal!" Elizabeth replied, not even seeing Sonja.

The female pirate faked a cough, causing Elizabeth to take notice of her then. Sonja realized then who this newcomer was and sighed.

"Who are you?" she wanted to know.

"The same person you saw earlier. My name is Sonja. I am looking for answers and your friend Will has agreed to help me. There are pirates in Port Royal right now so we'd better make our way to a ship and leave now before they find us," Sonja explained before turning around.

Elizabeth immediately became a bit suspicious of her and Will could tell as they followed her.

"We should trust her Elizabeth. If you were looking for answers, wouldn't you want help along the way?" he asked her.

Elizabeth nodded and sighed.

###

The pirates began to search the village, looking for someone. As they were doing so, they were disrupting the people by destroying everything in their path.

"Come on out Yas. We're here for you. May as well give up and quietly come with us," yelled one of them.

"Yeah, what Parto said. He's right. No use running for we'll come after you," agreed another, named Alige.

The two of them headed down an alleyway, looking for any sign of who they were searching for. They soon came across three figures in the semi- darkness.

"Look, there she is. I am certain of it," Alige said with a small gasp.

"That's right, there she is," Parto said, giving a smile.

The two headed after the three, both hoping that one of the three was the one that they were looking for all this time.
