Chapter Five: Falsely Accused

Will waited outside for Juliet to come back down from her room. Juliet rushed back down the stairs and into Will's arms.

"What did you do in there?" Will asked taking her hand as they started walking again.

"I took my corset off and took my hat off. I just can't walk in that corset anymore. It was really killing me. So what do you want to do?" Juliet asked.

"Let's just take a walk right now. Then in a little bit we can go back to the shop and just be with each other," Will said. Juliet looked up at him. He stopped and turned towards her.

"I love you," he said.

"I love you too," she said. He softly kissed her and they kept on walking.

Meanwhile…

Back at the fort, the ceremony was over. Elizabeth made up a lie that Juliet felt sick and went home. Her parents bought it so Elizabeth knew her lie had worked. She also knew Juliet owed her big time for this.

Elizabeth stood in the shade and fanned herself. It was still hard to breathe in the corset and she knew she would have to stop wearing them for awhile to get back to wearing them again. Elizabeth looked up and saw Norrington walking towards her.

"May I have a moment?" he asked her. Elizabeth nodded and he escorted her to the wall facing the sea. Elizabeth walked over to the wall and held on fanning herself wildly.

"Uh, you look lovely Elizabeth," Norrington complimented. Elizabeth smiled and laughed softly through the pain.

"I, uh, I apologize if I seem forward, but I must speak my mind. This promotion throws into sharp relief that which I have not yet achieved. A marriage to a fine woman," he said. Elizabeth was hunched over breathing but she managed to look over at Norrington. She was in shock because she knew what he was going to ask.

"You have become a fine woman Elizabeth," he finished. Elizabeth looked over the side of the wall.

"I can't breathe," Elizabeth said. She felt lightheaded and dizzy.

Norrington turned away from her. "Yes, I'm a bit nervous myself." Elizabeth felt darkness take over and her eyes rolled back. She fell over the side of the wall and headed for the deep water below.

Back on the Interceptor, Jack was telling Murtogg and Mullroy tales of being a pirate. "And then they made me their chief," Jack finished. They heard a splash and they faced the water.

"Elizabeth?" Norrington asked seeing she was not behind him again. He then saw the waves rippling from the water. "Elizabeth!" He started to take off his coat and jump when Lieutenant Gillette stopped him.

"The rocks! Sir it's a miracle she missed them!" Gillette said. Norrington rushed off to save her.

"Will you be saving her then?" Jack asked the two men.

"I can't swim!" Mullroy said. Jack scrunched his face up and looked at Murtogg. He just stared at Jack. Jack rolled his eyes. "Pride of the King's navy you are! Do not lose these!" He took his jacket, hat, and weapons off and handed it to them. He then jumped off the side of the ship and swam to the bottom.

Elizabeth's body fell to the bottom and the medallion she was wearing around her neck floated up and it made the water shake with a violent force.

"What was that?" Mullroy asked Murtogg who shrugged. The sunny sky became dark and the wind started blowing.

Juliet and Will were chasing each other through the streets when the weather changed. They stopped suddenly.

"What happened to the nice weather?" Will asked. Juliet looked around.

"Something's going on," Juliet said. Will took her hand.

"Come on, we're going to my house," Will said. They rushed off towards the shop.

Jack pulled Elizabeth up out of the water and tried to climb up on the deck. Mullroy and Murtogg helped him pull Elizabeth up out of the water. They placed her on the dock. Mullroy checked her vitals.

"She's not breathing!" Mullroy replied.

"Move!" Jack said. He pulled out his knife and cut her corset open. He threw it aside to Murtogg who caught it. Elizabeth did not wake up. Jack immediately started doing CPR on her.

"Come on girl," Jack said. Elizabeth did not wake up. Jack then noticed something around her neck. He pulled it up and saw it was the medallion.

"Where did you get that?" Jack asked. He tried to revive her again but it was no use. The strain of the corset and drowning had killed her. Jack took the medallion off of her neck.

"No need for this," He said to her form. He put it in his pocket. All of the sudden a sword met his throat.

"On your feet!" Norrington said. Jack stood and raised his hands.

"Elizabeth!" Governor Swann exclaimed. He knelt near her and saw she wasn't breathing. "What did you do to her?"

"Nothing! She drowned, you can ask your officers here," Jack said pointing to Murtogg and Mullroy. The said nothing. Jack made a face as to say 'thanks guys.'

"Shoot him!" Governor Swann yelled.

"First I want to see who he is," Norrington said. He grabbed Jack's right arm and lifted the sleeve. He noticed the burned 'P' on Jack skin.

"Had a brush with the east India Trading Company did we? Pirate?" Norrington asked.

"Hang him!" Governor Swann said. Jack looked at him.

"Keep your guns on him men. Gillette fetch some irons," Norrington said. He lifted the sleeve even more to see his tattoo. "Well, well. Jack Sparrow is it?"

"Captain Jack Sparrow, if you please," Jack said.

"Well I don't see your ship, Captain," Norrington said.

"I'm in the market. As it were," Jack said.

"He said he's come to commandeer one," Murtogg said. Jack looked at them. Now they rat him out.

"Told you he was telling the truth. These are his sir," Mullroy said picking up Jack's things.

"No additional shot or powder. A compass that doesn't point north," Norrington said going through his things. He looked at his sword.

"And I half expected it to be made of wood," Norrington said. Jack smiled at him and then dropped it. "You are without doubt, the worst pirate I've ever heard of."

Jack smirked. "But you have heard of me." Norrington pulled him over to the irons Gillette was holding.

"You are going to jail and then you will be hung tomorrow. Bright and early for Elizabeth's death," Norrington said.

"I didn't kill Elizabeth. I was saving her and she drowned, you have to be believe me Commodore," Jack said.

"I don't think I will," Norrington said. As he turned Jack grabbed Norrington's pistol from his belt. He pointed it at anyone.

They all panicked and slowly moved towards Jack. "I knew you'd warm up to me. Commodore Norrington, my effects please and my hat!" Norrington looked at him. "Commodore! You don't want anyone else to die do you?"

Norrington gave him his stuff. Jack put it all on quickly, he then held the pistol at them all again. "Too bad about how stupid you all are. Because you've just allowed me to escape an innocent man. You will always remember this as the day that you almost caught, Captain Jack Sparrow!" Jack threw the pistol at Norrington and grabbed onto a rope and started swinging around.

"Now will you shoot him!" Governor Swann said.

"Open fire!" Norrington yelled. They all started shooting Jack who yelled in protest. He swung around to another rope and threw his chain linking the irons over and slid down it.

He ran drunkenly down the street and across the bridge as the navy shot at him.

"Gillette, Mr. Sparrow has a dawn appointment with the gallows. I would hate for him to miss it," Norrington said. Gillette nodded and chased after Jack.

Jack meanwhile looked for a place to hide. And he found it, the blacksmith shop.
