Chapter 2: Guess Who?

It had been one week since I left my house. Elizabeth's father, Governor Weatherby Swann, was happy to let me stay here; it was almost like he has adopted me as his own.

"Brianna! Hurry up and get dressed. We need to hurry because Will is meeting us at his shop. He wants to spend the day with us, remember?" Elizabeth called from down stairs.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." I yelled back down. "I'm just having some trouble with my dress this morning." I muttered not really caring if she heard me or not.

I was sitting on my bed looking at a picture of my family before everything fell apart. I looked mostly like my mother. I had her light brown hair and emerald green eyes. I shifted my gaze to where my father was in the picture, suddenly I felt a lump in my throat and my eyes start to fog up. I won't cry, I thought, he hit me and I don't need him!

"What's taking you so long?" asked Elizabeth opening the door.

I let out a little scream. "Elizabeth you scared me." I said trying to hide the picture from her.

"What's that you have in your hand, Brianna?"

"Umm…nothing." I said a bit shaky from the tears that where threatening to fall.

"Let me see that." She said sweetly.

"It's noth-" but it was too late she had taken it from my hand. At first she looked shocked, but then her look softened.

"Aw... Brianna." She said sitting down beside me and to my surprise pulling me into a hug. After about a minute she let go, tears filling her eyes. "I feel your pain."

"What pain?"

"The pain of not having any family that you can really turn to."

"But I do have a family that I can turn to, and one of the members is sitting right here." I said turning to her and taking her hand. "You're my family, Elizabeth, you and Governor Swann."

At this Elizabeth burst into tears. "That's so sweet, Brianna." She said wiping her eyes with her dress.

I pulled her off my bed and down the stairs. By this point, Elizabeth had stopped crying, but was sniffing quite a bit. We headed down to Will's blacksmith shop and knocked on the door. I looked up and noticed that someone had changed the sign since the last time I was here. It now read W. Turner, instead of J. Brown. I was wondering when Old Mr. Brown would retire. The opening of the shops door took me out of my thoughts. I took one quick look at Will and started laughing. Will's hair was everywhere and he was covered in what looked like ashes.  

"What?" Both Will and Elizabeth said. Obviously Elizabeth hadn't noticed yet because when she turned around she started laughing too. 

"What?" Will asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's your hair," I snorted. "It's just…everywhere!"

"Well, it has been a rough day so far, Brianna. Oh that reminds me, I'm sorry ladies, but I wont be able to make it out of the shop today."

"Why?" asked Elizabeth, starting to look upset.

"Someone has sent in an order of new swords, for their crew. I'm really sorry, but they put a rush order on it and I can't let my customers down."

"It's okay Will, we understand." I said. "We will see you later, I presume?"

"Yes, I will try to come by later today."

And with that Elizabeth gave Will a kiss goodbye and we left.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It really had been too long since he'd been back. 'I'll bet they'll be surprised' he thought.

"How long till we get to Port Royale?" asked a crew member.

"Aye, we'll get there at nightfall." He replied turning the helm a bit to the right. The wind whipping the many dreads, braids and beads in his hair around his face. He grinned, flashing his gold teeth as the fond memories of Port Royale came back to him.

 "We're devils and black sheep- really bad eggs….drink up me hearties yo ho" he sang to himself to pass the time away. 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elizabeth and I decided that we'd go down to the port and walk around for a little while.

"Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a pirate, with all the pillaging and plundering? You know just like in the song." I asked, starting to hum the song. "I really love this song!" Still humming the song I gazed up at the boats along the port.

"Oh, you would get along with someone I know quite well!"

"What was that you just said, Elizabeth? I wasn't paying attention."

"Oh, nothing"

"Alright then if you say so. If I was a pirate I would be so...free..." I paused and looked around and started laughing "Drink up me hearties yo ho."

Together we started laughing and singing the song all the way back to the house. When we arrived, dinner was ready in the dining room. I like these meals better than the ones I had when I was living with my dad, I thought. Without one other thought I dug into my plate. After I was done my dinner and was very close to the exploding rate, Elizabeth whispered in my ear to come with her up to her room. After asking to be excused, we headed up stairs.

"What is it Elizabeth?"

"Come over here and look." She said before opening a small box and placing it in my hands.

"Oh Elizabeth, it's beautiful! Is this your engagement ring?"

"Yes, sorry I didn't show you before; I was sort of caught up in other matters." 

After handing the ring back, I sighed and looked out the window. 

"Why are you smiling?" Elizabeth asked me, with a very puzzled look on her face.

"Look out your window. It's Will, he looks like he has big news and I never noticed that he ran like that."

While Elizabeth looked out the window I had to quickly bring my hand up to my face to stop the laugher from coming out. It was just so funny the way he ran when he was excited. It was sort of like a wobble, mixed with a drunken sailor's walk. From below, I heard Will come in through the door. "Where's Elizabeth?" I heard him say. Elizabeth also must have heard this because she had turned around and ran through the door.

I looked out the window again and saw a shadow. It looked like a man with some sort of triangle hat on his head and possibly dreadlocks. Who is this person in the shadows, I thought. Then I heard Will from down stairs say,

"Elizabeth! Guess who's back!"
