Chapter 9: An unexpected visitor.
Elizabeth walked into her home. In the cold darkness she could see the outlining of upturned furniture, and papers on the ground. She ran up to her bedroom where the bed sheets had been torn and the furniture had also been kicked over, She ran to her father's old room, it also had been ravaged around.
Her thoughts then turned to the sound of metal hitting metal. She walked slowly to the stairs, took off her shoes, and slowly tiptoed down them. Trying not to make a sound. She focused her eyes on the library door, where she could see a soft light flickering under the library door, that she had not noticed before.
She reached the bottom and walked towards it. Her heart was pounding, she tried to slow her breathing by taking deep breaths but it didn't help it just made her breath louder.
"Don't lurk around doorways Mrs. Turner it's not polite," the voice came from inside. But how could who ever it was know she was there. Elizabeth had to hit herself in the head. She forgot that she had made a ton a noise when she first entered the house. She opened the door slowly, she could see a man in a chair in the middle of the room, but he was turned away from her. He had broad shoulders and brown hair, the same color that Will had, had. The fire was licking the walls of the room. It gave Elizabeth a chill up her spin. "Are you going to come say hello or are you just going to stand there?"
He had a deep voice that was calming but had an icy under tone. Elizabeth walked far around him until she saw his face. "Will!" She screamed and ran to him.
"Yes, but not the one you think." Elizabeth stepped back and looked at him. He had more age lines but still had the same face.
"Your Will's Dad, aren't you?"
"Yes I am. But do not try to tell me of my son I already know. I saw it happen."
Elizabeth thought for a second how could he be here, he was dead. He was lost to Davey Jones locker. She looked him up and down, and the expression on her face made him speak again.
"You thought I was dead didn't you?"
"Well yes. Barbossa he strapped a cannon to your bootstraps. And then the curse was lifted...What? How?" Elizabeth was so confused.
"Ah yes! That bloody curse, well I also had a part in that curse same as the others and so therefore I couldn't die. So when they through me in, they didn't think about it. I sunk about 50 feet un-tied myself and swam to an island until a boat came along and picked me up. I have been watching Will and you ever since." Elizabeth thought about it.
"Did you watch us do everything?"
His laughter filled the air, "No I did give you privacy, but when you left the house I followed you and him. Making sure you we're both safe."
He has seen everything out of the house! "So you know who killed Will then?"
"I do but that bullet wasn't meant for him, it was for you. And I knew it was going to happen. But I knew I could not stop it, if I tried to stop it I would have just gotten in the way and both of you would have died immediately," Elizabeth thought of that day and the man's face. He had been young, with black hair and that uniform, why would he pose as a guard? Why did he do it?
"Who was it?"
"It was one of Barbossa old men. His name is Percy Belle, or also known as high handed Bell. He..."
"What does this Mr. Belle want from me?"
"He didn't want anything from you but from Will. He thought Will had the map to the island of Chaz' Ex. It holds the treasure of an old Emperor of China. That's why your house has been searched through. And that is why Will is dead. He had both gun's for both of you."
"Why would he kill us? Why not just go through the house while we were out or something?"
"Because he took on one of Barbossa saying's. 'People are easier to search when their dead'." Elizabeth thought some more.
"Why would Will have the map?"
"Because when I sent him the Aztec gold I also sent him the map,"
"Where is it now?"
"When he worked with the Black Smith, I took it back from him. In time he forgot about it."
"So you have it now?" Elizabeth looked into this tired man's eyes and saw a sparkle.
"I've gone to the island, found the treasure, and burned the map. Therefore making it impossible for anyone else able to find the treasure." He smiled at his own cleverness. "But the real reason I'm talking to you now is to tell you that Jack is in trouble. Since they couldn't find the map anywhere in this house or in this town, Percy Belle and his crew took off to find him. And it will only be a matter of days until they find him and he is killed. When they find you are not with him then they will go looking for you."
He looked at her panicked face. "That is why I am willing to come from out of the dark corner and help. Because I know they will not stop until they find that map."
"How do you suggest we do that?" he smiled. "I have a plan."
They both smiled and talked the whole night.

Did you ever wonder what happened to Will's father in 'Pirates of the Caribbean, the Curse of the Black Pearl?' because I sure did? So I decided to incorporate him with the story (.
Oh! And by the way the whole story isn't just about Johnny Depp having sex, or choosing the girl he wants, even though it is a big part in it. It actually does have a plot. (
