Hey all Thank You for the reviews! I must add this, WHO'S YOUR DADDY?! GO RED SOX, #34, #18 ARE MY BIG DADDIES!!! Ok got that out of my system...this is the second to last chapter, and I have decided that some things unanswered here will definatley be answered in the sequel...example Norrington stumbling on Will and Elizabeth. There was some confusion on the Pearl and such, Norrington did not take the Pearl, he let Anamaria go with the 'new' crew on the Pearl, therefore, she can go to Port Royal to save Jack. Norrington has Jack, that is all he really cares about, let's face it Norry has gone psycho! Sequel is coming along nicely...what's that...triquel...VERY up in the air. POTC II went into production friday!! Yay!!, no filming yet I believe but I could be wrong! What else could I tell you...mmm....not much...O well....Here it is..........Chapter 21! Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!!
As Norrington walked into his office, Will and Elizabeth glared at him. He walked over to his desk sat down and clasped his hands together.
"You two are rather lucky I had stumbled upon you. Would you mine telling me what you were doing with two known pirates?" Norrington asked coldly.
"James, Jack asked us if we would go with him, just to go out there, to be free, that's all were weren't going on any adventures, we just happened to stumble on one." Elizabeth explained, "James, Jack saved our lives, please you can't hang him, he didn't do anything wrong."
"Commodore, please my father has nothing to do with this, I didn't have any inclination that he was even alive, I only found this out a few days ago, please you must let him go." Will said. "I was taken from our home after the wedding, Elizabeth was hurt badly, and Jack took her with him, he couldn't just leave her."
"He could have come to me, I would have helped him…" Norrington then turned to Elizabeth, completely ignoring Will, "I would have saved you Elizabeth." This enraged Elizabeth.
"JAMES, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE, IF YOU EVEN HAD THE SLIGHTEST IDEA YOU WOULD NOT BE ACTING LIKE A COMPLETE SCOUNDREL! YOU KNOW FULL WELL YOU WOULD NOT HAVE HELPED JACK, YOU WOULD HAVE HANGED HIM! I AM SO SORRY THAT YOU COULD NOT SAVE ME, WILL IS MY HUSBAND, JACK IS MY FRIEND, BILL IS MY FATHER-IN-LAW, THEY ARE MY FAMILY, THEY SAVED ME…"
"…and what are we Elizabeth? We have known each other for years." Norrington asked coldly. Elizabeth had calmed herself down, and answered him in a low bitter tone.
"James, you have changed, you have become obsessed. You have hurt me, Will, Jack, and Bill. You, James, are my enemy." Elizabeth then got up and walked out with Will in tow.
"Elizabeth do you know what you just did?" Will asked concerned.
"I know exactly what I just did." Elizabeth replied as she stomped downstairs to the brig.
"Are you two alright?" Elizabeth asked both Jack and Bill.
"We're alright luv, don't worry your pretty head off." Jack said, Elizabeth just smiled at him.
"Jack I saw Anamaria, leave with the Pearl." Will said.
"Maybe she's got a plan, Jack." Bill said.
"I hope so." Jack said.
"Jack, Elizabeth and I won't let Norrington get away with this." Will said.
"We will get you and Bill out, we will think of a plan to get you out of here. We have all been through too much to let that bastard make quick work of the two of you." Elizabeth said.
"Elizabeth luv, Norrington will already assume that the two of you are planning something." Jack said.
"Jack you risked so much to save us, we will do the same for you." Will said with determination in his voice. Then Will and Elizabeth walked back up on deck and into their cabin devising of a plan to make their grand escape.
It was in the middle of the night when the Dauntless pulled into Port Royal. It took three days for the Dauntless to reach Port Royal and it was the longest three days of Will and Elizabeth's lives, Norrington forbade either of them to see Jack or Bill, which made the both of them worried. Once the Dauntless pulled along side her dock, Will and Elizabeth were the first ones to walk off, waiting to see a glimpse of Jack and Bill. Some sailors that were carrying large boxes came down first then Commodore Norrinton, who was leading both Jack and Bill down the gangplank. "Men take these two to the fort and lock them up, they have an early appointment with the gallows tomorrow." Norrington said. Elizabeth and Will watched helplessly as the two were taken away, the four gave each other looks, as if they knew what they were saying.
"Elizabeth! Will!" Governor Swann cried as he rushed to the both of them to embrace them. Elizabeth missed her father terribly, as did he.
"What happened to the two of you? Tell me everything.", the Governor asked. So Will and Elizabeth explained what had happened, however, they were vague, they really didn't want to say too much, they had lived through it, they did not want to speak of it. After Will and Elizabeth told her father what happened, they decided the best thing for them to do was to go home.
Once the carriage had pulled up to their home, the both of them immediately went upstairs to their bedroom. Elizabeth had noticed that the rug that had been stained with her blood had been removed, and replaced.
"Elizabeth, I am going to go take a bath." Will said as he walked into their bathroom.
Elizabeth then glanced around their bedroom until their was a knock at the door.
"Excuse me Mrs. Turner you have a visitor." Her butler Jacob said.
"Alright let him up."
"It is not a him, Miss, it is a her, rather. Would you like me to bring her to you?" Jacob said.
"No that's fine tell this person, I will see them in the parlor." Elizabeth replied politely. Elizabeth then walked downstairs to the parlor where she saw Anamaria.
"Anamaria it is so good to see that your alright…what are you doing here?" Elizabeth asked as she embraced her.
"We don't have time to talk. Listen I am going to be waiting in the harbor, tomorrow, at the time of his hanging. Be sure you tell him, he will think of something."
"Oh Ana there is so much you don't know, Will's father is alive, he will be right along side Jack." This shocked Anamaria.
"Not a problem, just tell Jack, he can handle everything."
"Alright." Elizabeth then watched as Anamaria walked out the door. Elizabeth then made her way back upstairs. Will had gotten out of the bathroom and was waiting for her.
"Who was that?" Will asked.
"It was Anamaria, she is here with the Pearl, she will be waiting for Jack and Bill. She wants us to convey the message to her would you go to the fort and tell them." Elizabeth explained.
"Your not coming with me?"
Elizabeth then sighed, "No, Will I am going to take a bath. I have a feeling that I had better save my strength for tomorrow." Elizabeth then walked to the bathroom and shut the door behind her.
Will quickly made his way through the streets of Port Royal. He was careful not to let anyone know who he was. Once he reached the fort he walked down to the jail, he saw that the guard was drunk and it was no problem slipping into see Jack and his father.
"Jack!" Will said. Jack then looked up. "Jack, Anamaria is waiting for you in the harbor, she said you would know what to do."
"I knew it, I knew the lass liked me." Jack said with a smile on his face.
"Jack, what are you going to do? What do you want us to do?" Jack seemed to think for a moment.
"Remember last time boy…Let us have a repeat performance." Will nodded in understanding.
"Father, how are you holding up?" Will asked.
"I am alright son, just do me a favor and take care of that lass of yours, something I didn't do for your mother." Bill said with despair.
"Of course father, but I will see you tomorrow, you will leave this place alive."
"Aye, I will." Will then left and made his way back home to where Elizabeth was waiting for him.
"How did it go?" Elizabeth asked.
"Jack is a smart man he knows what to do." Will sighed as he explained to Elizabeth what Jack wanted them to do tomorrow, " Shall we go to bed?"
"Yes I think we should." Then the two walked upstairs to their room, and got into bed.
"Will…" Elizabeth said as she turned in bed to face him, "I love you, no matter what happens tomorrow."
"I know, I love you too." Will then kissed her with passion, he kissed her soft lips, her neck. They shared each other's passion that night, and it seemed as though a lot of the pain that the two of them went through, went away that night.
