Chapter Ten: A Few Extra Men
"Commodore Norrington, I wish to go with your men," he said standing up out of his chair. Governor Swann turned to look at him. He was shocked. Will Turner, a blacksmith, his oldest daughters fiance was willing to go and risk his life to save his youngest daughter.
"Will no!! You could get hurt!" Elizabeth said taking hold of his hand. "Or even worse, you could.." she stopped and shuddered at the thought.
"I could what, Liz??" Will asked.
"Die," she whispered. Will looked down at her.
"I won't have it Mr. Turner," Norrington said. "It's far to dangerous out there, and I'm positive that my men will do just as well as you would." Will then leaned on Norrington's desk and looked into his eyes. A fierce, dangerous look was in his eyes.
"Commodore Norrington, I know Jack Sparrow better than any of your men. If there is any doubt of what to do, I will know." Norrington almost shivered when Will was finished.
"Very well, I cannot stop you from wanting to end your life so suddenly Mr. Turner. It is your choice," he said backing off of the desk.
"Thank you, Commodore." Will said. As they turned to leave, Elizabeth started a fuss.
"If Will goes I go too," she said rising up. Her voice was stern.
"NO!!" her father cried. "Elizabeth I almost lost you once because of Jack Sparrow." He grabbed a tight hold of her arm and pulled her to himself.
"Father please! Ana's with Jack, and she could be in danger," she pleaded.
"They would've been home already Governor, but I have a strong feeling that something has gone wrong." Will tried to talk some sense into him, but being as stubborn as he is, the Governor didn't approve.
"I appreciate the concern Will, but my daughter is not going to accompany you." As Governor Swann started to turn around, Will firmly gripped his arm.
"Governor, your daughter could be in great danger." He released his arm, and he stopped in his tracks. A stern yet sympathetic look appeared of his face.
"Mr. Turner, I--" Will cut him off.
"I promise you that nothing will happen to Elizabeth or Anabella, or I shall take full responsibilities for my actions." Elizabeth began to nod her head.
"With Will around I know I'll be safe Father," she said, holding onto his hand. The Governor was now cornered.
"Very well," he replied after thinking for a while. "I'll allow you to go with Will and Norrington's men, however.." he stopped and glared at Will, "if anything should happen to you or your sister, then, Mr. Turner, you will be held responsible."
He turned and walked away, his head high. One last glance at Elizabeth and her fiance, and he was off.
"Very Well then, Ms. Swann, Mr. Turner, I believe we have a ship to catch.."
