I don't own anything.
The rest of chapter Eight
Jack followed her as the stairs creaked under their feet. The salty sea air hit Elizabeth's face as she opened the door, everything felt perfect, except one thing, Will. She didn't know what to do about him; she didn't feel the same way about him any more. She loved Jack, but she just couldn't break it off with him and go with Jack. Jack was Will's friend, well at least she thought.
Elizabeth ran up to the bow of the boat, and took a long deep breath, the sky was clear and as blue as can be and the warm of the air wrapped around her like a blanket. She was excited to see her father again, but not to come face to face with reality. The reality was that she had run from the law. That thought made her stomach turn upside-down.
To get rid of the sick feeling, she laid down on the deck and stared up at the sky and watched the sails flap about. Then she closed her eyes.
Elizabeth heard a distant voice yell "Land ho." She squeezed her eyes shut, then she opened them slowly, land ho, LAND! She quickly stood up. When she saw what looked like the town of Port Royal. She smiled, but then quickly frowned as the thought of why they were there. They were there to break the law, again and head back out to sea.
I have become a pirate. She kept on frowning, because this was never the way she thought her life would be like. She thought it would be fancy tea parties and dresses that straggled her. Not that she didn't love her life now; it was full of adventure and excitement. She loved it. That thought brought her lovely smile back on her face.
Some one tapped her on the shoulder. It was Jack, "Wer' going ashore." Elizabeth followed him to the tiny life boats. They had anchored the ship out of sight of the town people. Will and Barbossa were waiting there for them there. The crew lowered the boat in the water with them in it. Jack started paddling and they were off.
The silence in the boat was a bit awkward, Will wouldn't look at anybody, Jack was paddling, Barbossa looking ahead at the shoreline, and Elizabeth was playing with her hair, wrapping it around her finger until she ran out of hair. Yes, everyone was occupied but the silence was very awkward.
The water would come crashing into the boat every once in a while, causing the boat to feel like it were to capsize at any moment. Before they came around the little bay, they had to stop before they came into the port. They pulled the boat aside on the shore, to finally feel land again was a relief for Elizabeth and maybe for Will a little bit.
"We need to go through here." Jack commanded as he pointed at a narrow matted down path, through the wooded area.
"What is this?" Elizabeth asked as she followed be hide Barbossa who was be hide Jack.
"Smugglers' path," Jack answered, "they use it to smuggle, things, to their ships." He said this waving his arms about as he walked into a small branch hanging above them.
The walk wasn't long until they came upon their first building; it was an old farmer's farm. They all sneaked up be hide the house, when Elizabeth looked be hide her to see a cloths line. There at that very moment, she had an idea.
"We need different clothes." She said quietly as she walked over to the clothes line. She was getting tired of wearing the dress that Tia Dalma had lent her. Besides they needed to disguise themselves through the town, people were after all of them, well except Barbossa. They don't even know him.
They all turned to face her, she pointed to two different pair of pants, three shirts, and a couple scarves and hats. "Here." She said, she as threw them their cloths. "Quick, change."
They all looked confused; finally they just shrugged their shoulders and listened. Elizabeth went be hide some bushes and trees. She was the fastest to change; Will came out with a scarf tied around his head and a different shirt. Jack came out with a shirt over his normal outfit and weird looking droopy hat on. Barbossa took off his big feathered hat and tied a scarf around his head too. Elizabeth had changed into pants, a shirt and a hat as well.
They were satisfied with their disguises, and started walking out from be hide the shabby house.
Will noticed a difference in Elizabeth's behavior; she was happy and very awake. He was glad to see her happy, but not when Jack was involved.
They kept on walking and walking until they came to the actual town. There they saw guards, and more guards. It looked like the guards were preparing for something, like an attack.
All of them dodged be hide an old abandoned carriage, Jack told them an order to spread out, so off he went first. Barbossa followed, then Will, finally Elizabeth.
They were all out in the open street walking along when Elizabeth saw, what looked like the commodore. In was James Norrington! He was the commodore, again! He was dressed all nice and everything.
Elizabeth quickly started walking up to Jack to tell him, when a hand grabbed her arm.
