Chapter Nine: Norrington's Men To The Rescue

"YOU LET HER WHAT?!" Elizabeth's cry was heard all throughout the house. It echoed in the study, and it made the plates shake in the kitchen cabinets. After Will had told her about letting Ana go on her voyage with Jack, she was panicky and edgy.

"Elizabeth, please lower your voice," Will pleaded while rubbing her shoulders to try and calm her down. "Try to calm down."

She jumped up off of the bed she was sitting on and started waving her arms around. "Calm down, Will?" she said. "My sister's SOMEWHERE out in the Caribbean with Jack Sparrow on the Black Pearl and you're telling me to CALM DOWN?" she kept raising her voice and then whispering certain things. "I will not calm down."

Will stood up and wrapped his arms around her. "Elizabeth please, I don't want to involve anyone else," he said, holding her close. Somehow she managed to wriggle free.

"Please Will, this is my little sister. We have to tell someone!" Will, who was still holding onto Elizabeth's shoulders, looked at her questionably.

"Liz, if we tell anyone, once they find them Jack will be hung. You know they don't allow pirates in Port Royal." He said, slowly rubbing her arms. She nodded, and started walking towards the door.

"Will, I know that, but.." he pulled back on her arm, and leaned her backwards. Placing his lips on hers, they were locked in an embraceful kiss.

"If you trust me Elizabeth, we can go after them, just us. We did it before," Will requested. With her arms still wrapped around his neck, she looked deeply into Will's eyes.

"She's my little sister," she begged. Tears started to fill her eyes. Will knew, that even though Jack was a pirate, and the only way a pirate is allowed into Port Royal was if he was granted clemancy, he had to do the right thing.

"You're right," he said letting go of her. "Jack's my friend, but Ana's a great girl too." He looked down at the floor, and then back into her searching eyes. "Let's go tell your father, he'll send out Norrinton's men no doubt." She nodded and smiled, embracing him into a tight, meaningful hug.

"Thank you." She said. Will smiled, and they walked downstairs together, hand in hand. Their faces were somberly quiet.

"Elizabeth, why, you look like you've seen a ghost!!" She quickly turned, and was now face to face with her father. Neither Will nor Elizabeth spoke. "What is it? What happened??" he asked.

"Father," she started speaking, but Will cut her off.

"It's my fault Governor." Will said. Governor Swann looked rather confused. "See, yesterday afternoon, Jack Sparrow came for a visi--" the Governor gasped at the sound of the name.

"That filthy pirate!!" he bitterly said.

"The thing is, Governor --" it was now Will's turn to be cut off.

"Father Ana's on the Black Pearl with Jack, and she's not back yet!!" Elizabeth's face was now filled with panic once more. Her father's jaw dropped, and Will knew he must take full blame.

"It's my fault, I caught her sneaking out, and I let her go, I'm very sorry Governor." He dropped his head in shame.

"Well Mr. Turner, I wouldn't of expected this from you. A blacksmith nonetheless, but a fine man," Governor Swann now started walking towards the door.

"Jack is also a fine man," Will retorted back abruptly, before he could stop himself.

"No, Mr. Turner. Jack is a pirate." He turned around, and continued walking out.

"Father, aren't you going to command Norrington to go and find them?!" Elizabeth asked with worry in her voice.

"I'm on my way now, dear. Care to accompany me?" She nodded to her father's request. As they both headed for the door, Governor Swann turned around once more. "You too, Mr. Turner."

"Yes sir," Will nodded.

Everyone was silent on the way there. There was nothing to be said. Elizabeth held Wills hand firmly. As they passed the pier, all of them looked out the windows, hoping to see the Black Pearl. Alas, it was no where in sight, and they had arrived at Norrington's headquarters.

It took a long, grueling 15 minutes to explain to him what was going on, partially because of all the interruptions.

"Jack Sparrow, I should've known. He shouldn't of gotten away that day," Norrington said, his eyes strikingly focused on Will. "But Ana is in trouble. Quickly, step in, we'll decide who to send out."

After talking about it for a while, they decided that only the finest men should be sent out to search for Ana, Jack, and the Black Pearl. But before the discussion was over, Will had something to say.
