"Land Hoy!" A sailor yelled into brisk morning. The sun nearly rising Elizabeth sat up startled.

Men came running past Elizabeth's doorway towards stairs leading above deck. Elizabeth wasn't sure what to think. She was excited to arrive in Port Royal, but there was still that thought in the back of her mind. 'why couldn't they have just stayed in England? Why is it that her father had to become governor all the way across the ocean?' She certainly still wished she was back in England. A place she had known and was familiar with. Not something new. Elizabeth wasn't prone to change and wasn't planning on it, but the whole adventure of going to a new land seemed to turn Elizabeth on. Elizabeth always was forced into adventure, and moving to a different country at the age of ten seemed like an adventure to her. A quite large one at that. She decided she would try to be less stressful on her father, after all, he had never lived in any other country besides England either, so most likely he felt nearly the same way as her.

Elizabeth chose to get dressed and lead herself above to see this so-called land she would soon call her home. Nearly forgetting about William, she nearly walked right into him on her way up. Will was running down the stairs to get something by order of a sailor.

"Excuse me Ms. Swann," said Will apologizing.

"It's alright Will." Elizabeth turned away from Will with a smile on her face. She noticed how excited Will seemed to be just being on the ship. When he gets orders, or is sent to do something involving the ship, his smile gets larger and larger. It seemed to Elizabeth, seeing Will smile made her smile.

She stepped on the damp wood planks known as the ships floor and she saw a beautiful island straight ahead. The sun had just risen and the sky was still a slight pink. She started to accept that fact that she would be calling this island her home. She was proud of the beauty the island gave to her eyes. It was like nothing she had ever seen before. With, from what she could see, large palm trees, and long beaches, she knew it wouldn't be something she would hate terribly.

"Well Elizabeth, what do you think?" Asked Governor Swann. He was probably the most anxious as to what Elizabeth would say about Port Royal. He was always doing his best to keep Elizabeth as happy and sincere as possible.

"Actually father, from what I can see, it looks rather nice. I'm not dreading it so much anymore."

"That's good. I hoped you would. Well then, we should be anchoring within the hour." Governor Swann said with a large smile on his face, happy the Elizabeth wasn't so depressed.

He walked away without turning back. He was hoping Elizabeth wouldn't change her mind about what she had said about Port Royal because if she was happy with it, so was he.

Will, still not sure what it was he was going to do once they arrived, was out and about doing anything he could for the sailors. He enjoyed working on the ship very much but didn't really think anything of it. Elizabeth was hiding in her fathers office secretly glancing over at Will. There was something about him that Elizabeth enjoyed but would always keep private. She had never noticed it before but then she saw him standing on the ship tugging on a rope and she realized he frequently resembled a pirate. Elizabeth, being fond of pirates, would watch him as he went along with his work. She wouldn't let anyone know, but she was secretly attracted to pirates. Will, being not so clean, and having shoulder length dark brown hair, and dark brown eyes resembled a pirate like Elizabeth had thought. The medallion, hanging around her neck must be his. No one could ever resemble a pirate and not be one. Elizabeth knew that for a fact…well or so she thought.

The door to Governor Swann's office swung open. Elizabeth, sitting on the chair facing the window, quickly turned around, sitting in the correct manner, pretended to play with her hair as Captain Norrington walked in.

"Elizabeth, wouldn't you like to come outside and look around?"

"We've anchored already?" Elizabeth was slightly busy staring at Will at the time, she hadn't noticed everyone was getting ready to leave the ship.

"Why yes."

Elizabeth stood up and followed the captain out of the cabin. They were now even closer than she thought they were to the island. She could see people walking around by the docks. 'Port Royal' she thought to herself. 'So this is what it looks like.'

She saw Will, still working. He turned around and smiled at Elizabeth. After all, him and Elizabeth were the only children on the boat. Elizabeth smiled back with a slight nod, then she turned her head noticing Captain waiting to lead her on board of a smaller boat to bring her to the island.

As the boat got closer and closer to the Port Royal, Elizabeth was getting more and more relieved that the island was as beautiful as it was when she saw it only and hour ago. She had thought, because she was at a distance, it was only an illusion, but it wasn't.

When they got to the docks, there were men and ladies to greet Governor Swann and his daughter. They all had known they would be arriving and we eager to meet Governor Swann. He stood at a little over six feet, dressed well and at the time, wore a gray wig under his decently large hat. All-in-all, he was descent looking. Nothing noticeably wrong with his appearance. The citizens or Port Royal accepted his large smile and sculpted cheekbones as their new governor.
