This is my first ever fan fiction...i hope you guys like it!
Young William sat up abruptly. He looked around very confused. He couldn't remember anything. All he remembered was he had set sail to look for his father, but he didn't remember the ship he was on looking like this. He got up frightened. He looked around the floor for his shoes. When he saw them, he nearly sprinted towards them and put them on as fast as he could. He could here others walking around up on the top deck. He knew he was in a ship, but with whom? Had pirates captured him? But it didn't look like a pirate ship. Pirate ships are rundown andrarely washed. This ship was very tidy. He heard men yelling to each other above deck.
William made his way to the stairs that he assumed lead to the above deck. He slowly, and very curiously walked up the stairs. Taking one stair at a time. He didn't really want to disturb anyone. The wooden stairs creaked right when Will's head poked out.
Captain Norrington, being the watchful man he is, turned around and saw young William watching him. William looked terrified. He looked at the sailors on board and when he saw Norrington, he assumed he was the captain from his outfit. He could tell they were British also.
Norrington walked over to Will.
"You've finally awaken young William…Turner, correct?"
"How do you know my name," Asked Will.
"Why you told us. We found you on a wooden plank floating in the ocean off a burning ship. You were unconscious and we brought you aboard. There seemed to be no other survivors, I'm sorry," said Norrington in a pitiful manner.
"I don't remember anything. The most I remember is myself…boarding a ship to go find my father. The ship was going somewhere by the Caribbean."
"Well that's quite where we are off to. Now come along, I'm sure the governor would love to know you are feeling alright."
"The Governor," asked Will, still very confused as to what was going on.
"Why yes, Governor Swann. Well soon to be at least."
Will followed Norrington who was keeping a fast pace. Will watched his boots hit the damp wood. He seemed to enjoy the sounds they made as they hit the floor. It reminded him of his father.
"Governor Swann," said Norrington to the governor, who was talking to his daughter at the time.
He turned around to face Norrington because itwas rude not to.
"Look who is awake Governor." Norrington smiled at Elizabeth who gave him a not so delightful smile back at him.
"Oh young Will Turner," the Governor said walking over to Will. "A pleasure to see you are alright. I was getting quite worried."
"Thank you sir," Will said as he bowed, "but I would really like to know what's going on."
"Why I'm sure Norrington has told you. Haven't you?"
"Why I told him about yesterday Governor, nothing more," Said Norrington.
"Well then, come with me Will."
Will bowed to Elizabeth and Norrington as he left with the Governor. The Governor told Will more details about yesterday, and how they were heading to Port Royal.
"So Elizabeth, how have you been," Norrington asked Elizabeth when her father left.
"I've been fine thank you. I should ask the same to you."
"Well everything has been fine so far. There is still time for bad news to come however." Norrington said trying to get a smile out of Elizabeth. He got nothing however.
Elizabeth stood up from her chair, gave Norrington a rude "excuse me," lifted up her long dress and walked away. Elizabeth was not all the fond of Captain Norrington, and she had known her father had high hopes for the two of them. Before going down the stairs, Elizabeth looked over at her father and Will. Will looked so confused, she almost pitied the young boy, but then again, he was a pirate. Not that Elizabeth wasn't fond of pirates. She had always dreamt of meeting a pirate, but if everyone knew Will was a pirate, she may never had seen him again. She decided to keep it to herself even longer even though knowing was torturing her.
"So Will, what did your father do for a living that you came out here to look for him?" Asked the Governor very curious as to why Will would go to such lengths to find his father.
"He is a merchant sailor," replied Will.
" I see, and would you happen to have any idea as to his whereabouts?"
"Not at all sir," said Will with a blank look on his face.
"So why is it you were looking out here?"
"Just for the adventure I suppose, and I had hoped he would be around here."
"Well then, we will be landing in Port Royal in a few days."
"Might I ask where that may be," said Will
"In the Caribbean young boy, my god, don't you know your geography?" Will just smiled at him politely. "Well Will, I have a daughter about your age. I'm not sure where she is at the moment, but when I find her, I will be sure to introduce the two of you."
Once again, Will smiled politely, excused himself, and walked away.
"Nice boy," said Norrington to the Governor as Will walked away.
"He is isn't he, but why, at his age, would he go out to look for his father?"
"I'm not sure Governor. Have you talked to Elizabeth? She seemed quite angry with me."
"She hasn't said anything about you. I haven't the slightest idea why she would be angry at you. I shall go find her. I told Will I would introduce the two of them, and I shall ask why she is acting angry with you."
As the governor stood up, Norrington gave him a polite "Thank you," and walked away to tend to the ship.
Elizabeth was worried about William recognizing the chain from the medallion. She had gone down stairs and put the medallion back under her pillow. Just as she was walking out of her room, her father was walking towards her.
"Elizabeth, let me introduce you to William."
"Father, that wouldn't be necessary."
"But I already told him I would."
"If you insist."
"Oh and Captain Norrington told me you seemed angry with him earlier? Are you angry at him," asked the governor turning his head to see her face as she answered.
"Father you know I'm not very fond of him."
"Well he is very fond of you Elizabeth, and I would appreciate if you made an effort to at theleast be polite to him. After all he is your captain."
"Yes Father," Elizabeth answered with a sigh. This conversation wasn't a first.
"Will there you are. This is my daughter Elizabeth. Swann"
"Hello Ms. Swann," said William smiling.
"Please call me Elizabeth."
"Of course."
"And what shall I call you?"
"Will would be just fine thank you."
"Alright then Will," answered Elizabeth.
The both of them were very polite and mature about their greetings.
"Well Ms. Swann, It is very nice meeting you, I'm sure I'll be seeing you again sometime."
"I'm sure you will," answered Elizabeth as she walked off to her own things.
"Nice boy, isn't he?" Asked her father, curious to know what Elizabeth thought of Will.
"Yes." Elizabeth went along with her father because she knew, if she said anything else, her father would ask her questions she didn't want to answer.
"Well then, I should be off. I must go into my office. If you need me, I'll be downstairs." The Governor smiled at Elizabeth as he walked down the stairs below deck. Elizabeth smiled back and then walked off.
