Summary: You know how Elizabeth and Will met on the ship. But what happened in the eight years before they met Jack Sparrow?

Chapter 2- Pirate Boy
Later that day, Will was still unconscious, and he was in Elizabeth's cabin on the lower deck with her. In the next room over, Governor Swann's office, Elizabeth could overhear Lieutenant Norrington talking to her father. She wasn't supposed to be eavesdropping, but the wooden walls of the ship were so easy to hear through, and she couldn't really help it. Plus, the talk was about Will, and she thought that should concern her, since she had really been the one to find him.
She recognized Norrington's voice. "But what are we going to do with the boy? We can't take him back to Port Royal!"
The conversation switched to her father. "Why not? What else would we do with him? Do you expect to leave him at a port like Tortuga, amid the drunks and whores? That's no way to raise a child! At least in Port Royal he'd have chance!"
"Where would he stay otherwise? We don't even know this boy! What if he's a pirate?" the lieutenant asked.
A pirate? Elizabeth thought. She remembered the pirate medallion that Will had been wearing earlier. Then she remembered the lieutenant's words earlier: I intend to see to it that any man who sails under a pirate flag or wears a pirate brand gets what he deserves: a short drop and a sudden stop.Would they do this to just a simple child? This Elizabeth did not know. But she knew one thing: she had to protect her new friend.
A/N: Sorry about the extremely short chapter! I had to make a "cliff-hanger" to keep you guys interested! Keep reviewing!
Oh, sorry about the last chapter. After it says "the mysterious figure creeping up behind her" there was supposed to be a bar before it said " 'Lock him in the brig' Captain Barbossa shouted." Sorry if that confused some people.
