You Were Meant For Me

Author: williz

Summary: Will/Elizabeth focus- It's just Will and Elizabeth in a big adventure in which they meet many times. OK…I'm bad at summaries. But my story is going to be really fun. I swear! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Johnny Depp (or Jack Sparrow), Orlando Bloom (Will Turner), Keira Knightley (Elizabeth Swann), the commodore, the governor, and the rest of those guys in this that you recognize from the movie. Disney owns the movie, not me.

But I do own this plot….and Barley and his crew.

The steady rhythm of waves hitting the side of the Black Pearl was what awakened the young woman first. She let out a small sigh and slowly opened one eye. Elizabeth cuddled back into the warmth of the other body in bed with her and sighed again, before letting out a gasp and turning over.

Everything from the night before had been hazy, but now it all came back to her as she looked at Will.

The pirate's dark brown hair cascaded down his head, masking the lower half of his face. Elizabeth reached up and smilingly brushed it away from him to look at his whole face. He was even more handsome when he was asleep. A peaceful expression was on his face and he sighed and brought her closer with the arm, she hadn't noticed until now, still draped over her side.

Elizabeth grinned as she snuggled up to him, resting her head under his and smelling his neck. He smelled like the Will she remembered from six years earlier. If she had any doubts, any at all, that this man wasn't her Will before, they were gone now.

Will squeezed her to him harder and snuggled into her warmth in his sleep, sighing happily as he did so. Completely content to just lie in his arms, Elizabeth closed her eyes once more, piecing together everything that had been happening lately.

She had found out that the man she loved happened to be the same as the other man she loved. "This is so confusing," she thought to herself. Alright, she had fallen in love with the same man twice, except the second time she thought he was someone else. "That's better," she thought. "But it still needs improvement." Nevermind.

Not to mention, almost getting kidnapped by pirates for reasons unknown to her. That brought her out of her reverie. Why had they been coming after her? And what was it Will said, again? He had mentioned they needed to bring the medallion back. But to where? And why? Elizabeth was so incredibly confused and felt herself getting frustrated.

So, she gently pried herself from Will's strong arms and sat up, placing her head in her hands. Elizabeth felt the bed move, so she whipped about to look at him. He had only turned in his sleep though. She smiled. He looked so cute, the way he smacked his lips like that. Almost like a little boy. She chuckled, but quickly held it in as he moved. He started to open his eyes, but Elizabeth wanted him to rest. So she tenderly laid him back down with her hand at his shoulder. "Shhh, go back to sleep love."

Will started a low snore as he cuddled her again. "Oh dear, not this again…" she thought trying to get away again. "Not that I don't enjoy it, though." She grinned.

Finally, after getting away, she leaned over him, pulling the sheets up, and kissed him on the tip of his nose. He crinkled it up slightly and she smiled.

When she got out on deck, the sea breeze calmed her instantly. It was so soft and cool, making the sun not as warm as it ought to have been. She breathed in deeply and let it all out as she crossed to the bow of the Black Pearl.

The crew was draped about, haphazardly on deck, some sleeping, and some just lying there. Then, of course, there were the pirates actually doing the work and sailing the Pearl. "Where's Jack?" Elizabeth asked Ana Maria, as the dark-skinned woman tied a sail down tightly.

"I don't know where 'e is….but he's most likely sleeping off the gallon of rum he drank out 'ere all night," she huffed, annoyed. Elizabeth smiled at Ana and continued to the bow.

Once there, she stood and let the breeze sweep her long honey locks about in whichever way it pleased. Taking another deep breath, Elizabeth rested her head on her elbows, watching the lazy lull of waves and the fish chasing the ship.

Will snuggled deeper into the coverlet of his bed and reached a hand out to pull Elizabeth closer. He'd almost forgotten what it felt like to have her asleep in his arms at night. He had watched her for hours before he had finally gotten to sleep. He didn't mind it, not at all. Just lying there with her cuddling into him, her face so peaceful and absolutely angelic. Her wavy hair billowing over the pillow and her chest rising and falling with each breath and sigh she took.

Not that he was looking there, of course.

But, alas, he was a man….and being a man, he had noticed her chest rising and falling with each breath and sigh she took. The only things he missed when she was asleep was her incredible eyes. They were light brown, and yet, the outsides were lined with a color he knew had no name. The most beautiful color he'd ever seen, but still had no name. He also missed her soft, feminine voice that made his heart skip each time he'd heard it.

Will's hand felt nothing though. His eyes were still incredibly heavy, so he felt around the bed with his hand, becoming frantic when he felt no soft body at his fingertips. Will opened his eyes, quickly, and sat up. "Where's Elizabeth?" He murmured.

He stood and grabbed his shirt, throwing it on as he opened the door and ascended the steps to the deck of the ship. Not even bothering to button up his white flowing shirt, Will walked into the partial sunlight, for the sun was not fully awake yet, and shielded his eyes.

There she was. At the bow.

He stared at her, awed by the magnificence of her appearance. She'd somehow become even more beautiful, a feat he'd deemed impossible as he laid watching her sleep last night.

Her hair was whipping about her face, and her lips were pouted in the way only Elizabeth could pout, her dress was flowing behind her as she tightened and untightened her fist on the railing.

Will walked up behind her and stood next to her, still staring, fixated, at her. "Good morning, Elizabeth," he said softly. She turned and looked at him for the first time since he'd first stood there. "Morning," she answered. She smiled a soft smile at him. "Looks like you're feeling better, Mr. Turner. Let me get a look at that cut of yours," she said, teasingly as she studied his injured face.

"But of course. I had the most wonderful nurse, doctor. She was beautiful too. Like an angel descending down to Earth on her cloud." He grinned at her blush and continued his teasing. "Wait a moment…" he lifted her chin with his index finger. "It must've been you, doctor. Yes, it must have been," he nodded at her and grinned even more, wincing finally.

"Stop it, you're hurting yourself," she berated. The truth was that she loved him when he acted like that. She had only seen it on occasion, but when she had seen it, it made her heart flutter because she knew Will only acted like that on her behalf.

Will turned to look out at the sea and placed his hand atop hers as they both watched the fish dart around under the water. Elizabeth turned to look at the young man next to her and studied him. His eyes seemed troubled, rather pensive, as he looked out to sea. His long hair moved slightly behind him in the wind that was slightly picking up and his shirt flowed behind him, still unbuttoned, almost revealing his strong shoulders to Elizabeth's gaze.

"Is something the matter, Will?" She asked, partly in concern, but more so because she was curious. He smiled, a bit forced she noticed, but a smile nonetheless. "I—I was—wondering what was troubling you. You seemed, uh….tense." He said, still looking at the horizon.

Elizabeth noticed he hadn't yet looked at her while speaking and decided to brush it off. She'd ask him about it later, she decided. Now, she wanted some answers.

"What is going on, William? Why was my town ransacked by those pirates? And what is it about this medallion that makes it so important to them?" She asked, feeling the weight of the chain about her neck.

"It's a long story, but I suppose you need to know." Will led her to a large crate and sat her down on it as he started his story. Elizabeth just looked on.

"A long while ago, even before you and I first met, a curse was put upon Captain Barley's crew. 'Twas the worst curse, for the worst crew." Will sat down next to her and continued, with a sigh.

"Barley and his crew were cutthroats in every definition of the word. They would do horrible things to innocent people for pleasure…"

"What sorts of horrible things?" Elizabeth asked, wide-eyed. Will let out a small smile, thinking about how adorably childlike she looked when she did that.

"I don't know if you would want to hear the things they did. They really were horrible, dastardly…" He tried.

"I'm not a child, Will. Just tell me," Elizabeth huffed.

"Indeed, you're not a child," Will raised his eyebrows as he smiled appreciatively, teasing her. She blushed slightly and urged him to continue. "Well, they would sneak into towns and villages late at night and break into houses, kill the families in cold blood by using the most despicable means, and take everything the home had to offer. If the home had nothing to offer, they'd punish the families, first….then kill them. They'd cut their throats and leave the women and children to die, as well as the men of the family."

Elizabeth gasped and clutched her throat, gulping. "That's the most terrible thing I've ever heard in my life. Who could do that….I mean, how is it possible to be that horrible?" She asked in dismay.

"Would you like me to continue? I didn't mean to give so many details," Will smiled sheepishly. Elizabeth gave him a nod that said to go on.

"Well, other pirates on the sea thought Barley's crew gave them bad names. No pirate ever kills without a reason, especially women and children! Maybe they'd kidnap the women and…" Will stopped there when Elizabeth slanted her eyes dangerously at him. "Well, uh…right. But they would never kill someone like that. So pirates all over the Caribbean joined together to try and find the sideways captain and his equally sideways crew…Jack was amongst them."

Will stood up and walked to the nearest rope that tied down the sail and tightened it while he continued talking. Elizabeth followed his every move.

"So what did the pirates do with them? Did they find the captain?" Elizabeth asked.

"Well, yes…and no. You see, no one could find the whereabouts of Barley's ship or crew, or the man himself...no one except Jack. Jack had gotten a hint from one of his many allies about where Barley had run off to and followed the lead in his Black Pearl," he said, gesturing respectfully towards the ship they were sailing on. Elizabeth smiled.

"So Jack and his crew found the ship, but there was no crew inside. Jack took a few men with him and went on land to try and find the missing pirates."

"Did he?" She asked, excited. "Did he find them?"

"Yes," Will chuckled, receiving a frown from an embarrassed Elizabeth. "Yes, Jack and his crew found them. But Jack was surrounded. And Jack being…well, Jack….decided to trick Barley into thinking he was on his side. Barley took the bait and had Jack and his men join him in trying to find the cursed Aztec treasure."

Elizabeth's eyes opened wider as Will came back to sit next to her again.

"Cursed?"

"Cursed. Of course, none of them believed it was cursed. They were pirates, not warlocks." He received a small giggle from Elizabeth and smiled at his success. "But, alas, the curse was almost upon them. Jack and his crew acted fast and escaped before anything could happen, but because of the massive size of Barley's party, none could escape without the curse being hung upon them all."

"So that's what happened? Then…how did you, of all people, come about this medallion?" She asked, raising it from her dress and holding it in front of him.

"I intend on ignoring that comment…" he said, teasingly offended. "…and I'll ask only this. How did you know that medallion was a part of the Aztec treasure?"

"I meant no offence," Elizabeth stated.

"I know it," Will said, smiling at the lass.

"And besides, it only makes sense. You said we needed to return this medallion back to….oh, I don't know. I just figured that the Aztec gold meant this, is all. I don't know why," she finished.

You see…" Will continued, looking down in slight depression. "My father sent me this piece shortly before his own death."

"Your father?" Elizabeth asked, placing a comforting hand on his arm. "How did he get a piece of the treasure?"

"My father was first mate of the Pearl at the time, working alongside Jack. That's how. He took a piece of the gold, not knowing it was, in fact, the same treasure they were all looking for. The whole cave was filled with treasures, see? And...well, yes. He sent it to me, so that I would know that he sometimes thought of me. And my mother, of course."

Elizabeth noticed Will's slightly pained features as he spoke of his mother and scooted closer, kissing his cheek gently. "It's such a wonderful story, yet frightful. So these are the pirates chasing after this medallion? Why?"

"Because that's the only thing keeping Barley and 'is crew from feeling alive again."

Both whipped around and looked at Jack, not even noticing him there until that very moment.

"Good morning, Captain Sparrow," Elizabeth said, with slightly knowing smile as she saw the slight haze in his eyes and the half bottle of rum in his grip.

"Mornin' lass!" He replied. "So ye told 'er, did ye, Will?"

"Yes, Jack. I did."

"Ye know, they're after you, Miss Swann. Not only that shiny bit 'round tha' pretty neck o' yers," Jack slurred. Will stood up and narrowed his eyes.

"What!" Both Elizabeth and Will asked together, Elizabeth joining the young pirate in his shocked stance, though his held a hint of anger.

"Yes. You, my young one, are now the keeper o' the gold, making that medallion belong to you and only you. They can't have it truly…unless they have you." He said, taking a swing of rum.

"Jack, you neglected to ever tell me this!" Will nearly roared, Elizabeth having to hold him back gently. "It's alright, Will. I'm with you now. Nothing can happen to me when I'm with you." They looked into each other's eyes for awhile until Jack broke them out of it.

"Hey, lovebirds…hate to break yer little gaze ye got going 'ere, but I'm getting a wee bit sick, eh? Bloody kids…" he muttered as he sauntered off.

"Now would you mind telling me how a nice boy like you got mixed up with a fellow like him?" Elizabeth laughed, as she clung to his arm, lovingly.

"I 'eard that!" They heard Will bellow. They both laughed and walked back to the bow for more privacy.

"He isn't as bad as all that, now!" The young man answered, holding Elizabeth's hand and bringing it up to place a kiss on her knuckles. Elizabeth smiled. "I know."

"Soon after you left, he saved my life from a drunk trying to pick a fight with me. He found out who my father was and I agreed to be on his crew, thinking he'd then reveal something, if anything, about my father."

"Ah, I see," Elizabeth answered, the smile wavering slowly. Will noticed this and was quick to ask, "It—It doesn't change anything….does it? I mean, I know a pirate isn't as appealing as a lieutenant…or even a poor boy living in Tortuga, for that matter…but…"

"No, Will. You're a wonderful man, no matter what social standing… you're still the boy for me. I—I love you," she said, finally saying the words she'd meant to say for six years.

Will's eyes grew wide and he opened and closed his mouth a couple times, unable to say what he was thinking. "You…love me? You mean…really?" He stuttered.

"Yes! Yes, I do. I always have. I love you, William Turner," she said, hugging him. Then she realized he hadn't returned his sentiments. She withdrew from him, thinking, "What if he doesn't feel the same way? But he kissed me and it…it felt like he feels the same way. The look in his eyes… he must feel the same way….But—what if he doesn't?"

"Don't you feel the same, Will?" She asked, uncertainty clouding her beautiful features.

"Must you even ask, Miss Swann?" He grinned at her brightening eyes. "Of course I feel the same, Elizabeth. I love you."

She threw her arms around him as he brought her in for a heart-stopping kiss. They stayed wrapped in a tight embrace, lips locked firmly together, as Elizabeth moved her hands up to his still open shirted chest, running her hands up over his shoulders to his chest.

They broke the kiss after awhile and just stayed in the other's arms, enjoying the love they knew they both shared. Will looked up from where his face rested, in the crook of his love's neck, and watched the horizon. The sun was now fully up, yet it was still darker than it normally should have been.

Elizabeth noticed the absence of Will's warmth on her neck and looked up at his dark features. "Will, my love… whatever's the matter?" He didn't answer her, but walked away briskly, leaving her in his dust. Confused, she looked to where she saw him looking and only saw a few clouds. Then she spun and followed after him.

"William, what's going on? You're frightening me. Will! Answer me!" She demanded as she quickly followed after him, waking some of the crewmembers as she stumbled over them, kicking some of the tired men.

But Will didn't stop. He didn't intend on stopping until he found his captain.

"Jack!" He said, as he spotted Jack coming out of his cabin, more sober now that he heard Will's urgent tone. The tone Will only used when something was wrong. Then again, the boy tended to be a bit dramatic, he was still young yet. So Jack dismissed it and asked, "Wot do ye need, mate?"

"We've got serious problems on the way, Captain," Will said, quickly. By that time, Elizabeth caught up, almost breathless.

Will grabbed Jack's shirt and both walked back to the bow, completely ignoring the girl standing next to them. Elizabeth watched them run back to where she'd just ran from and watched, rolling her eyes. Then she stomped back after them, murmuring, "Bloody pirates can't make up their bloody minds…Men!" This time, she didn't even bother apologizing to the crewmates she accidentally walked on.

When Jack was finally let out of Will's tight grasp on his collar, he stood up straight. "Aye, Will. Just pull the bleedin' thin' off me, why don't you?" He straightened his shirt and followed Will's gaze out to the horizon. Dark clouds were forming, the immediate sign of a bad storm.

"Is it just me, or are those black clouds swirling?" Will asked. Elizabeth finally came up next to Will, intending to give him a piece of her mind for making her run back and forth needlessly, but caught sight of the clouds.

"That's beautiful," she murmured. Will finally glanced at her. "You wouldn't say that if you knew what comes with those things."

"There's a bad one brewin' that's fer sure." Jack said.

"When do you think she'll hit?" Will asked, looking at Jack. "Tonight. We've got a day to decide what to do. So, Will…what do we do?" Jack asked, looking at Will pleadingly.

"What do we do! How should I know! I'm not the captain, Jack. You are!" Will said, throwing his hands up in the air.

"Tell your crew, Jack. I've got an idea," Elizabeth said, with a thoughtful expression. She grabbed Will's hand and walked him down to his cabin. Jack just stood there watching, slightly dumb. "Women. Always think they know everything!" He said, under his breath.

"That's because we do," Ana Maria said from behind him, smirking. She was kinda getting somewhat fond of the headstrong girl young Will had brought on board with him.

Once in the cabin, Elizabeth shut the door and started pacing. "Elizabeth," Will said, trying to get her attention. She looked up at him and stopped. "We have to turn back, Will."

"We can't very well turn back, Elizabeth. We have blood thirsty, cursed pirates after us!" Will said, trying to reason with her.

"Do you honestly think that storm is going to let us through in one piece? I've heard the stories of Mother Nature's fury out here in the ocean! We cannot risk it!" Elizabeth said, frustrated.

"Alright, let me rephrase this. I don't want anything happening to you. If we turn back, Barley might take you away from me. And what would I do then?" Elizabeth saw that he was being completely sincere and walked closer to him, placing her hand on his cheek.

"Will, what then? You'd risk your whole crew in the storm, is that it? I don't want that happening on account of me. It cannot happen. I won't let it. I can't."

"I would do anything for you. I'd battle the worst storm Mother Nature could give out to keep you away from Barley," Will said, passionately. Elizabeth rested her forehead against his as a tear escaped her eye.

"I know this Will, but you don't understand. All this talk would be fine if it was just your life in danger on my account. You have that right to make the decision. But all of those men out…and Ana Maria…Jack…you don't have the right to bargain their lives for mine."

"Elizabeth, I understand that. Believe me, I do. I just want to keep you with me. I've finally found you… I can't lose you again. All of those men out there…they're the bravest in the Caribbean. The best crew in all seven seas. They live for dangers like these…it's all a part of being a pirate. Adventure!"

"Death?" Elizabeth broke in. "No, I will not be the cause of anymore deaths. There have been enough in Port Royal, I don't need any of these men on my conscience." She left his arms and walked to the bed, letting more tears fall.

"Elizabeth, please don't tell me you blame yourself for all the deaths of the people in Port Royal. None of them were your fault. I told you, Barley's crew is vicious! If anyone's fault, 'tis mine. I gave you that medallion. Didn't I?"

Elizabeth turned quickly, ready to protest, but saw a small smile on Will's face and walked back into his arms. He accepted her and wrapped himself around her, whispering soft words of love into her hair. "I love you," she whispered.

Will grinned and let her out of his grasp. "Come, how about we ask the crew what they think we should do, how's that?" Elizabeth nodded, wiping all trace of tears from her eyes.

They stepped out of the cabin and ascended the steps back onto the deck, hand in hand. Jack was preparing his crew for the news of the storm. Of course, being good sailors as well as pirates, they all knew what was almost upon them.

"Mates! Ye've all been with me through thick and thin…so believe me when I say this is the thickest bit of adventure you'll ever see. See that, over there?" He asked, gesturing to the clouds. "That's the biggest arse of a storm ye'll ever see in a mighty long time. If ever."

He was about to go on when Elizabeth stepped up. "Wait! I suggest we turn around and go back. Get away from this—this storm and back to safety."

"Safety for a small time, lady…but evidently, not for long. Barley's coming fast behind us. Looks like we've got trouble ahead and trouble behind, fellas," Gibbs spoke up.

"I'll give myself up!" Elizabeth blurted.

"No!" Will barked. Elizabeth looked at him pleadingly. "I can't allow these men to be harmed in that storm because of me," she said, getting in Will's face, placing her hands on her hips.

"That's what you keep saying! But what of the crew's say in this?" Will smirked, smugly. He turned to the crew, who were well on their way to being amused.

"Whoever says we turn around and sail back to whence we came, say 'Aye!'" Will yelled to the crew.

Not a word sounded from the crew.

"And what of saving Miss Swann's life and sailing straight into Mother Nature and showin' 'er what the Black Pearl's got!" Will finished.

"AYE!" The crew roared. They all started dancing and laughing, as Will turned to look at a stunned Elizabeth.

"What did I tell you?" He asked, smugly. She just shrugged as she pulled him closer by his open shirt. "You sure showed me," she drawled as she moved in to kiss Will firmly on the mouth.

Cat calls and whistles startled Will out of the kiss as he blushed faintly. Elizabeth shrugged again and started buttoning up his shirt finally. Will looked down as her hands skillfully finished his buttons in mere seconds, and as she reached up with a finger and tapped the stubble on his chin once. He pulled her into a hug and just held her.

"When the storm comes, I want you in my cabin, alright?" He asked, eyes closed as he breathed in the scent of her hair. Her eyes shot open as she pulled away. "Just who do you think you are, ordering me about? I'm helping the crew," Elizabeth stated matter-of-factly.

"William Turner II, thankyou very much. And what I say goes, isn't that right Jack?" Will asked Jack. Jack opened his mouth to agree when Elizabeth spun about and glared at him. He shut his mouth and walked away.

"Oh yes," Ana Maria thought as she saw Jack cower. "I like this one. She's tough. Like me." She grinned at Jack.

"Whipped by a girl, eh Jack? Kinda reminds you of me at times, doesn't she?" She grinned as he mumbled and walked past her.

"Elizabeth, the whole reason we're going into this is to keep you safe…how can I be sure that you're safe if you're out here getting thrown about—and who knows what else!" Elizabeth was about to retort to Will's comment, but she saw the fear and intense love shining in his eyes, so she backed down. "Oh, alright."

He sighed, letting his relief show, and walked to her, hugging her tightly. "Thankyou," he said, muffled in her hair.

"…but you're staying with me," she finished. He pulled her back out, rolling his eyes at her stubbornness. "I have to stay out here, love. With my crew. They need me in case Jack gets himself sloshed by the time the storm hits." He tried to reason with her.

"And what if I'm trying to keep you safe, now?" She asked, raising her eyebrow.

Will laughed and hugged her. "Please, Elizabeth. I must."

She smiled into his chest. "I know." Then she pulled back to look in his eyes. "But please be careful. I can't afford to lose you, either. I meant it when I said not to leave me. I need you Will Turner. And—And so help me, if you get yourself killed…" She started sobbing as Will brought her back to him.

"No, no…don't cry, my Elizabeth. Don't cry. I'll be fine. It's all in a day's work, aye? Now, c'mon. Let's help the crew prepare." She nodded and walked with Will back to the crew, who was busily readying the Pearl for what was going to be her hardest battle yet.

As the thunder clapped in the distance, they all knew this was going to be their hardest battle yet, too.
