Chapter 2: Pirate Attack
Will awoke with a start at the sound of the first cannon fire sounded throughout the port. Will leapt out of bed and grabbed several swords and weapons that hung on a rack beside his bed. He ran out of the room and jumped over the banister leading to the foyer below.
As he landed, pirates came crashing through the doors and windows and into the foyer where Will was getting up from his landing.
"Well, well, well. Look who we have here." One of the pirates said.
Will automatically recognized the short, bald, and temperamental pirate as Pintel, one of the cursed pirates aboard the Black Pearl. Will stepped back a bit because he hadn't seen the pirate since Elizabeth had been captured. The pirate had gotten uglier over the years and behind him stood the taller, thinner pirate, Ragetti, the pirate with the wooden eye. He was always seen with Pintel and was always fooling with the wooden eyeball occupating the empty socket.
"What do you want?" Will screamed at the pirates.
"Well, we want revenge on Jack Sparrow and we need you as leverage." Pintel replied coldly as Ragetti giggled behind him.
Will felt a small explosion in the back of his head as his vision starting fading, a pirate had come from behind and hit him over the back of his head. His dark eyes rolled back into his head and he crumpled to the ground.
"Good job Goolz. Now we need him carried out and taken to the ship." Pintel said as the Bo' sun and Goolz carried the unconscious form of Will Turner towards their ship.

Elizabeth was watching what was happening to her husband from the banister. She had watched in horror as Will crumpled to the ground. She flew down the stairs to try and stop the pirates, she had learned how to handle a sword after her kidnapping by Barbossa, but was stopped on the way down by a fairly large pirate. He hit her over the head with the butt of his pistol and just left her there knowing she was no use to them.

Back on the ship, Avenger, Goolz and the Bo' sun had carried Will down to the brig and shackled his arms to the wall. They came back up to the main deck as the captain was walking up from the hold. As the Avenger and her crew began to depart, the captain came down to brig to check on their newest prisoner.

As the captain was looking through the bars of the other cells that held prisoners that had been captured prior to the attack on Port Royal. Some were in poor shape from the bad sanitation (not that it was any better any place else in the 1600's) and lack of food and water. Some were just on the brink of death and some of the newer prisoners were just thin and pale. But Will Turner, since he had only come aboard the ship that night he was in near perfect health. The only problem was that he was unconscious.

Elizabeth had just woken up to the sound of a child crying, her own child. Soon the crying stopped, presumed by a maid in the household. She tried to get up but the throbbing in the back of her head where she had been hit by the butt of the pistol kept her down. As the throbbing subsided in her head, one thought came to mind, Will. Before she had been hit over the head, she had seen him being taken away by the pirates. She had to find anything that would be leading to him and his whereabouts. She had to head to the fort to see if anybody saw what direction the pirate ship that had taken Will hostage, had gone. She leapt up but since she was on the stairwell, she had to catch herself from falling to the wooden floorboards below. She grabbed her overcoat as she headed out the door just so that the people of Port Royal wouldn't see her in the nightgown that she had worn the night before. She didn't really want to run all the way upstairs to change while Will was somewhere on the open sea, maybe being tortured or beaten, or worse, dead.

Will Turner had woken up in the brig of the Avenger, with a pounding head and shackled wrists. He had been shackled to the wall in such a way that he could only sit up, not even be able to stand. As he was trying to loosen the shackles from the wall, Pintel came down with 2 things, a large ring of keys and the Bo 'sun. Will was guessing that they were here for him, not any of the other prisoners that have been down here, by looking at their conditions, they had been on the ship for a long time and had sustained some serious damage.
"E'llo chum." Pintel said to Will before opening the door to his tiny cell.
"What do you want with me?" Will asked as the Bo 'sun was unlocking the tight shackles from his wrists, a relief until the Bo 'sun had tied his hands together with a bit of rough rope that cut into the already raw skin around his wrists.
"The captain wants to speak with you." Pintel responded, chuckling as the Bo 'sun forced Will rather roughly up the stairs, onto the main deck and towards the Captain's Quarters.
