Chapter 33:

Changes

"Just leave me alone! I don't want to talk to you two at the moment!" Elizabeth ran down the streets of Tortuga screaming at William and James. James and Will stopped running as Elizabeth went into the first Pub she could find. James looked at Will and muttered sarcastically "Excellent plan Mr. Turner. Now we've not only denied Elizabeth of her happiness but now she never wants to speak to us again."

James put his head in his hands as Will answered back sternly "She will speak to us eventually, but we have not denied her of her happiness…." James then interrupted him with an insolent look on his face "Has it ever occurred to you that Elizabeth was happy with Jack?"

Will shook his head violently and shouted at him "Do not speak his name to me!" James breathed in and out deeply for a few seconds and then began to chuckle slightly. James took out his sword and held it against Will while shouting at him "I will speak any name I want to, Mr. Turner. Do not forget that!"

He then slid the sword closer to Will's neck and whispered "You brainwashed me into thinking that Elizabeth would choose her life in Port Royal rather then her life as a Pirate, and your wrong Sir!" He paused for a second and looked at him closely in the eyes and then Will began to mutter seriously "So she would rather choose to live her life with a dirty no good rum soaked Pirate?"

James bit his lip because he couldn't believe what he was about to say "He is a better man then you will ever be! Jack Sparrow is in love with her, and she with him. Taking away that love is just as despicable as you are Mr. Turner!" He then shoved Will away from him and put his sword away. Will fell quickly to the ground and then James walked away while shouting out "Now if you would excuse me…" and with that James Norrington left the area to find Elizabeth while Will was still on the ground shaking his head slightly.

In the mean time Elizabeth was sitting down at one of the Table's in Tortuga when she saw Scarlet again. She rolled her eyes at her and Scarlet made her way to an older couple near the bar. Elizabeth sighed and got up from her table and made her way towards the bar also. She stood there waiting to place her order but she was not really paying attention to anything else but Scarlet.

Scarlet then left the couple and Elizabeth thought that maybe she should go talk to them to find out more about Jack's mistress. She walked towards the couple and started to notice their appearances. The man looked about 55 and the woman 50, they were both very good looking for an older couple. He had black hair down to his shoulders and the woman had blonde long hair.

She wiped the tears away from her eyes to try to make herself more presentable. When she reached them she whispered, "Excuse me. My name is…" and before she could introduce herself a man pushed her from behind and she fell into the woman. The man that pushed her said to the couple "Captain… the ship… something's happened to it." The man and his wife screamed out "What do ye mean?" The man who Elizabeth now realized was the Captain then asked "What be happened to me ship Mr. Smith?"

Mr. Smith gulped and then blurted out "The Ship has got a hole!" The Captain rolled his eyes and said, "Then fill the hole, savvy?" Mr. Smith then left the area and ran out of the Pub. Elizabeth couldn't help but chuckle as she said "He do that often?" The Captain smiled at her and said back "Why yes luv, he's a bit of a screw really. Now tell me and me wife here...not to be rude...but what de want young missy?"

Elizabeth cleared her throat and replied "Well, Scarlet… how do you know her?" The woman smiled at Elizabeth and replied, "She is my daughter, Miss. Now who are you?" Elizabeth smiled and let out her hand and whispered back "Oh, I beg your pardon. My name is Elizabeth Spa….I mean Elizabeth Swann."

The woman then let go of her hand and her eyes widened. The Captain didn't notice this so he introduced them "My name is Captain Frownin' Frank Morgan and this is my wife Helena." Elizabeth smiled at the two and then Helena put her hand to her face and whispered "Look at how you've grown, you beautiful girl." Elizabeth looked at her confused and asked, "I'm sorry do you know me?" Helena looked at her husband and whispered, "Not anymore, I suppose."

Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders and asked, "I'm sorry to bother you… but I was wondering…" Suddenly Helena broke down crying and whispered into Frank's neck "I'm sorry… my emotions." She then turned to Elizabeth and whispered, "It must be because of the hole in the ship." Frank looked at her confused and asked "Are you alright darlin'?" She then shook her head and whispered to Elizabeth "We must speak in private."

"…. and then they made me their chief." I stated proudly to one of Sparrows. The Sparrow smiled at me and asked, "Tell me again." I wrinkled my forehead and asked confused "But didn't I just tell ye?" The Sparrow shrugged his shoulders and one of his brothers hit him on the head and said to me "Apologies Captain. That one is forgetful Sparrow, he has a bit of problem with his memory."

Forgetful Sparrow got up and asked, "Who are ye?" I looked at him confused and he continued "…and ugh… who am I?" I smiled at him and replied "A good man." The Sparrow shrugged and went off with his business and after a few seconds he shouted out "I am a good man!" and the other Sparrows shouted at him "Shut it!"

I chuckled as he continued to say that he was a good man, and then all of a sudden he asked "Ugh… Who am I?" Clever Sparrow then hit him on the head once more and said back "Ye sir, be an idiot!" Forgetful Sparrow smiled and shouted out with a wide grin "Ye hear that, I'm an idiot!"

I shook my head in disbelief and then my eyes narrowed as they began to glance at the sand's blank canvas. I smiled and whispered to myself "Beautiful, but no where as near as beautiful as the ocean… or 'Lzabeth for that matter." I closed my eyes and began to think of her, but as memories of her and I ran through my mind I tightened my grip of the railing of the ship.

I rubbed my head furiously as I realized that even though our destinies have been entwined there was still something now… actually always that was keeping us apart from one another. I sighed and moved my hand into my pocket and took out the ring that scallywag James had given me before that scallywag James had betrayed me. I put the ring in my palm and tightened my grip around it. That is when I realized something….

"…And that is the story sweetheart." Helena said to her daughter Elizabeth. Captain Morgan let them use his ship to talk privately. Elizabeth sat speechless inside their cabin that was decorated by the color of lavender. Elizabeth looked at her mother in the eyes and whispered, "I have to leave." Elizabeth then got up but Captain Morgan blocked the door so she couldn't get out.

Elizabeth wiped away a few tears that had fallen from her eyes and she then said desperately "Please let me go." Captain Morgan shook his head and whispered as sweetly as he could "Please, luv. Listen to yer mother." She breathed in and out deeply and her mother changed the topic to make things a bit easier.

"Are you married?" Helena asked her daughter. Elizabeth shot back aggressively "I said my name was Elizabeth SWANN, didn't I?" Helena nodded but Elizabeth continued "I was supposed to be married, but things didn't work out between us." Helena then walked up to a cupboard and signaled to Frank to get some glasses.

Helena then asked "Why not Elizabeth?" Elizabeth snapped back "Do you even care?" Elizabeth's mother nodded and poured some rum into three classes, she then asked as patiently as possible "Please tell me Elizabeth." Elizabeth sighed quietly and replied in a whisper "Well, he is a Captain also and well now that I think about it the reason I left him was really stupid. Something about him not wanting to share authority. But now I realize that he was willing to share, it's just that I didn't let him."

Captain Morgan asked interested "He is a Captain? What be his name?" he then took a sip of his rum. Elizabeth then replied softly "Captain Jack Sparrow…" and once she did Captain Morgan spit out his rum. He wiped the rum away from his chin and asked "My boy Jack Sparrow?" Elizabeth looked at him disgusted and asked "Your son?"

Captain Morgan chuckled and said back "Nay! Not that darlin'. What I mean is, he was a boy on me ship years back. He was a good man, I bet he still is, eh?" Elizabeth nodded sadly as Captain Morgan sat down smiling and continued, "He was quite special, eh? I was his mentor when he be grownin' up…." Captain Morgan then started laughing, but then he stopped and asked worried "what does your father Weatherby think of 'em?"

Elizabeth replied back carefully "Well…he doesn't like him very much… well, more so his career choice. But I couldn't live life in Port Royal, I hated it." Helena nodded and then Captain Morgan asked, "Ye still be mad at him?" Just then someone knocked on the cabin door and came into the cabin. It was none other then Scarlet.

Elizabeth remembered why she was so furious with Jack and she then answered Captain Morgan's question by yelling "Yes! I still am very mad at him, and it's all because of her!" Elizabeth pointed at Scarlet and Helena asked confused "My daughter? I mean…. my other daughter? Why?"
