(A/N) I have a couple of tests this week, so the next update will be Friday afternoon or so. Most of you have said that you like the way I handle rape scenes, the reason I don't write them too graphic is because you know what rape is, and for character development it's the emotional part that matters most. You'll see Elizabeth change, but you won't lose her more prominent traits. I can't remember who, someone asked if Will and Elizabeth were going to get together…can't tell you that! It would spoil the surprise!

This fic takes place in Boston, and don't worry, Will and Elizabeth, in my mind at least, do not have the thick Boston accent. I actually hate the way the Boston accent is in movies, they really sound wicked fake and ridiculous. I love my Bostonian accent…its wicked pissah!

Just for reference the Boston Commons, or Gardens is kind of like a central park. The Beacon Hill area, is the most expensive areas of Boston, located smack dab in the middle of it is the State House. The North End, is kind of the Italian portion of Boston, I mean it is gorgeous and smells delicioso! The Old North Church (one if by land, two if by sea) and the Paul Revere statue are in a small little park in the center. At the end of the Northie, you are at a Coast Guard station. As we go along and start going into other parts of Boston, I'll explain more. You all should visit Boston, it is really a worth while vacation!

Elizabeth's father had arrived with Captain Washburn. "She's sleeping." Will said when he was greeted by the Governor.

"I imagine so." The Governor looked worried. "I am going to check on her."

The Governor walked into Elizabeth's bedroom, leaving Washburn to rip into Will. "What were you thinking? Staying here with her? Do you know what that looks like?"

"I look like a good cop. Hector Barbossa has threatened her, and she is in danger, and I won't leave her alone, so vulnerable that she can't defend herself."

"You won't be on this case Turner." Will ignored him and sat down on the couch. He himself was tired, he hadn't slept in almost two days.

WEWEWEWEWE

"Dad?" Elizabeth woke from a hazy sleep looking up at her father.

"Yes darling…" He leaned over and kissed her forehead. "I want you to rest."

"I will. Is Will still out there?"

The Governor's brows furrowed. "Detective Turner? Yes he is." Elizabeth looked at her alarm clock, it was nearly five o'clock in the evening, she had gotten home at eleven…he waited all of this time. "Why?"

"Dad, I want him to take care of this case. He's the best detective I have ever come across." The Governor had been informed of the details of his daughter's rape and how she had been threatened by Barbossa.

"Are you sure? Captain Washburn is willing to take over."

"No, I want Will to be the lead." Elizabeth pleaded.

"I will make sure it's done." The Governor rose. "Get some rest darling." He kissed her cheek again.

"Detective Turner, I need a word with you." The Governor said soon as he shut Elizabeth's door.

"Yes Governor."

"My daughter wants you to be in charge of her case, which I am going to enforce on Captain Washburn. However, Hector Barbossa worries me, so I am also going to leave you in charge of her protection as well." Will was about to speak, but the Governor waved his hand. "You will be compensated, so do not worry. My daughter told me about you some time ago, so I know your good…especially since my daughter's word is good." Will then saw tears glisten his eyes. "She's my only daughter, take care of her."

"With my life sir." Will said.

"Thank you. I am going to stay here with my advisors, so I suggest you return to your apartment and pick up some things." Will was a bit shell shocked, stay here?

"Yes sir." Will walked out of Elizabeth's apartment with a sense of anxiety, he was in charge of her case, he was going to have to protect her, and that meant getting some trustworthy men on his side, because he knew he was going to need help.

WEWEWEWEWEWE

Will returned an hour later with a suitcase. The Governor told him he would be back in the morning, and that Elizabeth had been sleeping the entire time he had been gone. Will sat his suitcase on the floor beside the sofa and decided to set up 'shop'. He pulled out some blankets from the closet and an extra pillow. He took of his shoes, jacket, belt and tie. He was beyond tired, he was nearly a zombie. He then took his holster and placed it right beside him, keeping it close.

Will sprawled out on the sofa and closed his eyes. This was complicated, she was the Governor's daughter, and that meant he had to be on his best game, and had to shut down the burst of feelings he felt for Elizabeth a year ago. Will slowly drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

WEWEWEWEWEWE

Elizabeth woke slowly. Then suddenly reality hit her like a ton of bricks, she was alone now, she didn't hear anything, Will and her father must have left. Fear shook Elizabeth, what if one of them hadn't locked the door. Elizabeth got out of bed and slowly opened the door and peeked inside the living room.

She then heard something move on the sofa. Elizabeth froze with fear, someone was in her apartment. She couldn't see who was on the sofa, the high back was to her, so she had to walk around an end table to get a look, and that wasn't going to happen.

Elizabeth raced to the door and started flipping the locks. "Elizabeth!" Elizabeth turned around when the lights came on.

"Will? What are you doing there?"

"Sleeping, what are you doing?" Elizabeth slowly slid to the floor.

"Trying to escape." Elizabeth felt a bubble of hysteria in the back of her throat.

Will crossed the room and sat down next to her. "Your father wants me to stay with you until we find out what's going on, which is fine with me, but, is it alright with you?" Will asked.

Elizabeth leaned into him. "Yes, but please I have a guest bedroom. You scared me…" Elizabeth looked at him. "I'm sorry, I don't think either of us is sleeping well."

"No, I don't think we are." Will then helped her to her feet. "Why don't you go back to bed? I'll shuffle myself to the bedroom."

"That's sounds like a plan." Elizabeth hugged herself. The phone then rang. "Hello." Elizabeth answered it.

"Does it hurt bitch!" Elizabeth screamed and dropped the phone. Will quickly picked it up and listened, he didn't hear anything.

"Elizabeth was that him?" Will grabbed her elbow to stop her from shaking.

"Yes, no, I'm not sure…" Elizabeth sat down on the sofa.

"What did he say?" Will sat down next to her and pulled her close.

"He asked if it hurt…" Elizabeth sobbed uncontrollably.

"I have to make a few calls. I have to have your calls monitored just in case he calls again." Will began to get up but Elizabeth held him there.

"Will, I don't want to stay here anymore…I don't feel safe in my own home." Elizabeth said with a whisper.

"Elizabeth I'm here and I won't let anything happen to you…besides if you run, your letting him win." Will said as he smoothed her hair back.

"I should know better." Elizabeth then slowly relaxed in his arms. She had fallen asleep, and Will was holding her, the phone call had shaken him as well. This had gone from bad to worse.

(A/N) I watched Elizabethtown today, and I thought it was a really sweet movie, really cute, but I'm sorry, Orlando should stick to his British accent…he just sounds sexier. Hehe…
