REDO, REDO, REDO!
I started this story, it was confusing, and I didn't like the way it was worded. So, I just totally erased it (and I mean just, like 16 seconds ago) and I'm totally starting it over. It is still the prequel, but has a new story and everything. So I hope this one is better. Wish me luck...

"Mother, would you tell me about father again?"
The English woman looked at her son, surprised. He rarely asked about his father anymore. Linnette Haviland-Turner sat down on the bed next to her son, William.
"Alright, what do you want me to tell you about him?"
"Everything."
"Well, let's see. We met some years ago, about 10 years. We met in the Caribbean, on an uncharted island."
"How did people know where it was then?" Will asked.
"Well..." Linnette stopped to think about how she would word it. "It was like a special society. Only members of it were told where it was."
Will seemed satisfied with that answer.
"After we met, we traveled together for a while. He was a traveling sea merchant, as I've told you before. But then, he died."
"How?"
Linnette looked at her son, a sad look crossing her face.
"I don't know. I was informed by a friend, and he didn't tell me... now go to sleep."
Linnette blew out the candle and left her son to sleep. She walked out onto her terrace and looked out at the ocean. She breathed in the sea air and remembered her old life. A life as a pirate, a life of freedom. And how she wished she had the heart to tell her son the truth. She would tell him one day, she knew that much, but...
She sighed and walked back inside. She thought of the story she had told her son earlier. About Tortuga, Bootstrap Bill, and even Jack. She went to her room to sleep. And as she slept, she remembered.

Alrighty then, first chapter done. I hope this story turns out better. And yes, the two characters in this chapter are Will Turner and his mother. I at least can tell that this one will have a clearer storyline (at least to me).
