DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
Elizabeth awoke late the next morning, she had asked her maid to bring some water with poppy juice last night, the poppy juice helped her sleep. She needed to sleep, she needed to anything other than cry. When she got out of bed she rang for her maid Marie to help her dress. Elizabeth picked out a black velvet dress, it was adorned with gold lace, Elizabeth was in mourning, she did not feel up to wearing her usual brightly colored dresses. When Elizabeth went down stairs, she came to find out that her father had already left for the fort, and would not be back this evening, she found it a relief she did not feel like talking to anyone, the servants knew this, so most kept their distance from her.
'Why did he have to go look for Jack?' Elizabeth wondered as she walked around her garden. The pain she felt, the hatred she felt for the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow was almost to much to bare for her young heart, she sat down in a chair and held her chest in grief as tears poured down her face.
"Elizabeth?" Her father called her from down the stoned path.
"Yes father, I thought you weren't coming back till later." Elizabeth said wiping the tears from her delicate face.
"Yes, I decided to come home early. Elizabeth I must have a talk with you."
"Yes, go ahead."
"Elizabeth, I know you are grieving for Will, but I must put this forward. Elizabeth you must marry, you are of age to do so, you need to put this behind you and move forward."
"What?" Elizabeth was appalled, she got up from her chair in anger, "Will's body is barely cold in the ground and you dare talk to be about this! Father, I love him, I still do, and I shall love no other, for heaven's sake you won't even let me grieve, before you send me off to marry some stuck up old bloody idiot!"
"Commodore James Norrington is no idiot Elizabeth!"
"James? You expect me to marry him?! You are sadly mistaken father…"
"Elizabeth I am your father, and you shall do as I say, as long as you live under my household!"
"Well then consider myself no longer under your household…I hate you…" Elizabeth said coldly. Elizabeth walked out the front gate and walked into town.
It was dark outside, no place for a young lady such as herself, but Elizabeth didn't care, she did not want to be home. Her father treatment of her was preposterous, unreasonable, unnecessary. Elizabeth found herself walking through a infamous place in town, it was known for its bars. Elizabeth tried to make her way through the streets as quickly as possible, but some drunk caught her trying to slip by.
"Hey Missy, come 'ere!" The man bellowed. Elizabeth then quickened her pace. "Get back 'ere!" The man then ran after her, to Elizabeth's unfortunate luck as of late she ran into a dark alley there was no way out. The man eventually caught up to her and pinned her against the brick wall of the building. "You're a pretty lass…" The man began to kiss her sloppily.
"Let me go now! You don't know who I am! I am the governor's daughter!" Elizabeth said as she tried to struggle from his grasp.
"Naw…your just a pretty lass, ripe for the picking…" The man then began to lift her skirts. Elizabeth let out a blood curdling scream, he put his hand over her mouth to silence her. He began to kiss her neck, then he fell to the ground, someone came from the dark and knocked him out, with the but end of a pistol. Elizabeth frightened and exhausted fainted to the floor. The stranger picked her up and carried her away to safety.
