Ch 1 NS

It had been six months since Will and Elizabeth left Port Royal and things have changed since then. Will and Elizabeth bought a ship, it was almost an exact replica of the Pearl, the only difference was that is wasn't black like the Pearl it was a natural wood color. Jack had made Anamaria the first mate of the Pearl, and Bill was first mate of the Sovereignty, the name of Will and Elizabeth's ship.

Life on the sea was exactly what Will and Elizabeth had wanted, freedom. They had not heard or seen Commodore Norrington since they last exchanged words but, they knew they were being hunted, they were fugitives, guilty of piracy, if Norrington were to catch them, they would hang.

For the first time in her life Elizabeth felt happy. She was no longer constricted to the conformity of her social status. However, her dreams haunted her of the past, some nights she wouldn't be able to sleep, so she would go out on deck and feel the breeze of the ocean whirl around her. Tonight was no exception, she was awake, her white nightdress flowing in the breeze, and her long hair was whipping around her. As Elizabeth was gazing at the stars she heard footsteps behind her, spinning around she was looking into Will's eyes.

"Can't sleep again." Will asked.

"No, I haven't been able too." Elizabeth said as she returned her gaze back to the sea. Will then wrapped his strong arms around her waist, and kissed her neck.

"Elizabeth what is troubling you?" You can tell me, please tell me maybe I can make things right." Will said concerned.

"It's nothing. Don't worry about it, I'm fine."

"You sure." Elizabeth then turned to face him.

"Yes I'm sure."

"Alright then, let's get inside it is cold out here." Will and Elizabeth then walked downstairs into their bedroom, which was immaculately decorated thanks to Elizabeth. In fact everything had her touch even the crew's quarters were handsomely decorated.

Will felt helpless he knew something was bothering her, but he wasn't quite sure what. Tomorrow he would have a talk with Jack, he knew Elizabeth had a close friendship with Jack, and he wondered if she told Jack what was troubling her.

Aboard the Pearl

Jack watched as Will brought Elizabeth inside. Many nights he would watch her walk out on deck, and stare into the water. He felt horrible that Elizabeth confided in him more than her own husband. Elizabeth had told him what had been troubling her, it was Barbossa, she still dreamt of him, and she was scared, she thought that she would not be able to have children. Jack felt for her and Will, not only did they both have to deal with Barbossa, they had to deal with Norrington as well.

Tomorrow they would be docking in Nassau, and there Elizabeth had told him she was going to see a doctor, and Jack had recommended that she go with Anamaria, to keep her company. Jack had promised that he would try and keep Will away why she did this, Elizabeth did not want to tell him anything until she found out for sure. Jack was happy to have his friend back, Bill, Bill was a man that Jack could trust with anything, 'pity he is with the whelp', Jack thought because he had offered the first mate position to Bill first, but he declined, Bill wanted to spend more time with Will.

Anamaria was another story all together. She had persuaded Norrington to help find Jack, Will, and Elizabeth, what she didn't know was that her plan backfired, and Norrington was planning to arrest Jack. Jack was grateful to her, she had gained his trust as well, there was also something about her that Jack liked.

"Captain?" Anamaria said.

"Yes luv?" Jack responded.

Anamaria had to bite her tongue, "I'm here to relieve you till morning."

"Alright luv." Jack said as he got up from his chair, "Keep her safe."

"Of course." Anamaria then smiled. Jack then walked to his cabin, took off his boots, and got into bed.
