2nd chapter yay! Ok well here goes.
Disclaimer: I own Amelia and that's about it…
"Elizabeth, are you ready yet?" Amelia asked as she stood outside her younger sister's room. She impatiently put her hands on her hips. The blond girl walked out of her room. "Finally. You know we are going to be late…Not that I mind much." Both girls laughed as they made their way down the stairs.
"Amelia, Elizabeth, you look absolutely stunning." Their father said.
"Oh hello, Will." Amelia said.
"Will! It's so good to see you! I had a dream about you last night." Elizabeth said rushing down the steps.
"About me?" Will asked.
"Yes, well, is that entirely proper for you to-"but Elizabeth cut Gov. Swann off.
"About the day we met, do you remember?"
"How could I forget, miss Swann?"
"Will, how many times must I ask you to call me Elizabeth?"
"At least once more, Miss Swann, as always."
"There. See? At least the boy has a sense of propriety. Now, we really must be going." Gov. Swann cut in. he gave the girls parasols. "There you are."
"Good day, Mr. Turner." Elizabeth said.
"Goodbye." Amelia said as their father pushed them out the door.
"Good day…. Elizabeth." Will said the last part when they were out of earshot. Amelia saw the look that Elizabeth gave Will when he was out of sight. She decided to try to lighten the mood. She put on a bored face and said "Well lets get this boring ceremony over with." She got a stern look from her fathers and a laugh from her sister.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Lia, what's wrong?" Elizabeth asked once the ceremony was over. Amelia was a little pale and she kept fanning herself.
"Having really hard time breathing. Damn this corset." She whispered.
"He's got you in one too?" Elizabeth asked raising an eyebrow.
"I feel sorry for all the women who have to wear these damn things. But, Lizzie, that's not all. Father said that Norrington requested my presence here. That's the only reason why I came." Amelia made a face. Elizabeth giggled.
"Well here is your chance to find out why."
"What are you-"
"Amelia, may I have a word?" Amelia turned around to see the new commodore. She took his arm and he led her to a platform.
"Amelia?'
"Yes?"
"I, uh, apologize if I seem forward, but must speak my mind. This promotion has brought to my attention something that I lack." He glanced at her and then looked back at the ocean.
"And what is that?" Amelia asked trying to be polite, even though she was in pain and she couldn't breathe.
"A marriage of a fine woman… Amelia, you are a fine woman." Amelia gasped and Norrington looked at her.
"I'm a bit nervous myself." He said. "But I-"
"Can't breath!" Amelia looked down in time to see Elizabeth fall into the water.
"ELIZABETH!" Amelia yelled. She was about to go after her but Norrington stopped her.
"The rocks, it's a miracle she missed them!" he said. Amelia yanked her arm from his grasp and ran as fast as she could down to the docks. Norrington, Gov. Swann, and some soldiers followed her. She saw Elizabeth laying on the docks with a man and two soldiers around her. The man was wet. 'He must have saved her…' she thought as she fell to her knees. "Are you alright?" she asked worriedly. "Yes." Elizabeth was helped to stand by Gov. Swann, who wrapped his coat around her. Amelia found that the man was staring at her. She was uncomfortable under his gaze and Norrington noticed. He helped her up and pointed his sword at the man.
"On your feet." He commanded. Amelia surveyed the man as he stood. He wore a white shirt with a vest and brown pants and boots. His hair was matted and in a large braid in the back. But some of his hairs hung around his face. His beard was in two different braids. A red bandanna covered his head and beads were in his hair. Gov. Swann saw one of the soldiers with Elizabeth's corset. The soldier dropped it and pointed at the man.
"Shoot him!" he said.
"Father!" Amelia said.
"Commodore, do you really intend to kill my rescuer?" Elizabeth asked. Norrington was silent for a moment as he put away his sword.
