Chapter 4: Marital Bliss

Elizabeth stood on a cliff over looking the ocean below. She had left the house earlier that morning, because all of the activity was getting to her. People were constantly running in and out of the house with flowers and gifts and decorations for the wedding. Elizabeth found it calming to watch the ocean's turmoil, it helped her forget about her own.

"I just wish I knew what to do," she lamented. As Elizabeth turned to go back to the house to prepare for the wedding, she suddenly caught sight of the mysterious man that had been following her and Will around. "That does it. I must know who he is," she thought to herself as she stormed off after the man.

"Hold it," Elizabeth ordered as she put a restraining arm on the man before her. "I want to know who you are and why you are following me and my fiancé."

The old man slowly turned to face Elizabeth. At first, she was terrified. All of her anger had now evaporated and she realized the foolishness of her actions. This man could be a pirate or a killer.

"Hello young lady. Don't look so afraid, I won't hurt you, but I do believe you are right. You have probably never heard of me, but my name is Bootstrap Bill Turner," the end his explanation was punctuated by a gasp from Elizabeth once she realized what he had said. This was Will's father, the one that was sunk to the bottom of the ocean ten years earlier.

Elizabeth started to utter a shocked reply, but was unable to because she was hit over the head by Toadie. Bootstrap was treated to the same fate by Safin who had also snuck up on the pair. Once the pair was unconscious, four other pirates came out to drag the pair away.

Back at the manor, everyone had arrived for the wedding. "Thomas! Come over here, there's someone I want you to meet," the Colonel called to a young man in the corner. "Thomas, this is Governor Swann. Governor, this is my soon to be son-in-law Thomas Marlow. He's an officer in the British Navy in the colonies. His father was one of the greatest commodores, until he was killed at sea by pirates. Now his son is going to follow in his footsteps," the Colonel said in a disdainful tone.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Governor," the young man said politely. "Congratulations on your daughter's wedding sir."

"Governor! Governor!" a young man yelled as he came careening into the church. "Miss Swann has been taken by a band of pirates."

"What!" Will said, joining in the conversation. "Where's Elizabeth? I've got to find Jack." Then, Will rushed off to find The Black Pearl.
