Will pushed the pin in, and latched it in place. He had been trying to clean up the dirt and put back the door that Norrington had knocked over. Norrington had just left an hour ago and it had taken Will that long to finish. He had beaten Will pretty badly. His eye was swollen and had a cut over it that wouldn't stop bleeding. His side ached from a broken rib and his lip had a gash in it also. Will had put up a fight, which was obvious by his broken table and stretched and torn shirt.

Norrington had warned him that he would never let his wedding to Elizabeth go through. He was actually on the verge of crying. The Commodore had told him that the governor would like to inform him that the wedding to Miss Swann was off.

Will knew they were being too bold, showing their affections too often in front of her father. And what happened last night and that morning didn't help anything either. He loved Elizabeth more than his own life. Will would do anything to be with her. He knew what he had to speak with her soon.

Elizabeth was going to try to sneak out but her door was locked. She went to her window and opened the latch, she was very high up and the tree was a few feet away from her.

She ran back over to her bed and began to tie her sheets together like she had done before on the Dauntless. She hurled the mass of sheets over her sill. Then she pulled up her dress and put one leg out and began to shimmy down the 'rope'.

When she reached the ground she ran towards the stables and a saddle, strapping in on the horse and started riding as fast as she could toward Will.

Knock Knock

"Will! Will! Open up, its me."

Will slowly got up off his sofa then suddenly grabbed his side in pain. He walked hurriedly to the door and opened it to find a frantic Elizabeth. As soon as he opened it she threw her arms around him but then realized that he was in pain.

"Oh goodness, Will. What did they do to you?" she said as she pulled back and touched his cut head and bruised face.

"Its nothing, I'll heal quick enough." He said taking her hands from his face and kissing them lightly.

She sat on the sofa with Will listening intently next to her. "Will something terrible has happened. My father said that the wedding was off and your clemency might be in danger too."

"I know, Norrington mentioned that. But not about the clemency." He looked down worriedly

"What are we going to do?"

"If we stay here I could be hung. And you could be forced to marry Norrington." He said looking at her soft eyes.

"Will I cant live without you. We need to leave."
