Chapter 3

Walking in Daydreams

There was a loud knocking on the door ,

" Miss ? Are you decent ?"

Called Estrella, Elizabeth's personal maid through the door, it wasn't like it mattered if Elizabeth was dressed or not...Estrella had been her friend since her and her father, had moved here, now 9 long years ago, the very same voyage that they picked up young, nearly drowned William Turner on.

" Yes, yes !'

Elizabeth called back, hurrying to her bed and pulling on her robe, like I said , not like it really mattered...

With a gentle creaking of the old wooden door, Estrella, the dark haired, English maid came peering around the door...just to see if Elizabeth was infact, decent. Quietly she came into the room, closing the door behind herself.

"Miss ?"

"Yes Estrella ?"

"Mr. Turner was here just moments ago, he told me to tell you that he would be around this evening to pick you up."

" He what ! Oh no, no, no, no !"

Elizabeth raced to her window, just to see Will Turner walking down the driveway around from the house...her heart sunk a littleshe could not wait till the evening to talk to himshe really needed to know if he still loved her, and if not, no matter how much it would hurt her to do so, she would let him go, and live his life whatever way he would...

"Miss. Swann, what's wrong ? I mean, its not my place, but I want to help in anyway that I may..."

"There's nothing you can do Estrella...I fear that my heart shall break in my very chest this very day..."

"Has Mr.Turner done something that he should not of ?"

Estrella came close and began to "inspect" Elizabeth

"What are you doing ?"

"Making sure that Mr.Turner did not harm you in anyway"

"He never has , and never willat least not physically ! Estrella please !"

"Alright Miss. Swann, it's not my place..."

Estrella sighed and moved behind the large ornate, wooden dressing curtain...Elizabeth followed her slowly...

"Elizabeth? Its time to get dressed, your tutor is here "

Her father, Governor Weatherby Swann, called through the closed and locked door.

"Great, that is just what I need, some old woman telling me to keep my mind on my studiesand how a Proper English husbanda Lord no doubt, would want a woman that was intellegant, but never showed it..."

Elizabeth mumbled to herself, as Estrella looped the corset around her and began to lace it up...

"Its alright Miss...I'm sure that she's not all that bad..."

"Estrella , she's going to spend the whole day telling me why Will isn't good enough for me, and how he doesn't deserve me, and how someone, like Commodore Pompous haI mean Norrington, of course, telling me how someone like him, whom I do NOT love and never will, is the kind of man I should marry. Not the loving, but poor young man that I have given my heart to! Estrella you must save me !"

"I'm sorry Miss, there is nothing that I can do, but mayhaps if you entertain yourself during the classes, they will pass faster. I've seen the ink drawings you do, they're wonderful, and your favourite subject seems to be Mr.Turner, why not do one for him while in your class?"

Estrella questioned, pointing at the dresser that was littered with many, many ink drawings of her beloved Pirate-Blacksmith...

Elizabeth followed her finger and broke into a grin, the first time since she had gotten up so late last night...she hugged Estrella tightly

"Estrella thank you ! You are the best friend I could ever have !"

"After Mr.Turner, you mean "

"No ! You are my best friend ! You've saved me from a long day of lectures about where my heart lies and how that has nothing to do with a marriage of a Lady ! How that only the poor marry from loveOh EstrellaI didn't mean that , I"

"Its quite alright, Miss.Swann..."

The day had passed so very slowly for poor Elizabeth...and no matter what she did , all that was running through her mind was Will...She loved him, but did he love her ?

She now sat, close to evening, just as the sun was wanting to set, in her room, inking in over the sketch that she had done of Will during her classes that day...and it was a fine portrait of his face, smiling, as he usually was with her, and dressed as fine as a Prince...For he was just that in her eyes...

Soon came a knock on her door, and Estrella , her maid, once more came in...

"Miss. Swann, Mr.Turner is here to see you"

"Already ?"

"Yes Miss. Swann ! Did you not hear him pounding on the front door !"

" No !"

Estrella then noticed the picture bellow Elizabeth's ink covered fingers

"Oh, lost in your own world, Miss ?"

Elizabeth sighed softly

"Yes Estrella...I've been lost for a long time now...and now it is time to go and see if I shall be embraced by the light...or thrown farther into the darkness of my dispare..."

Estrella helped her into another dressunfortunately, it called for an even tighter corset than she had ever worn...but this time Elizabeth didn't care, this time it was to impress Will Turner...even if she passed out upon his lap...
