Chapter 2 Will to the Rescue

Will is watching the wedding procession, in other words two flower girls, Jack, and Ana Maria who are walking in together, anxiously waiting for Elisabeth to walk down with her father. As the music changes, the guests rise and face the back of the garden. Will smiles as hears footsteps but, his smile soon turns into a frown because the footsteps are too fast and heavy to be Elisabeth's. Governor Swann soon appears at the end of the isle, alone.

"They've taken her." He gasps. His wig nearly slipping off his head, "they've taken Elisabeth" and with that he faints, falling over backwards. Will begins his Elisabeth – whatever - type - of - trouble - your - in - I'll - get - you - out - or - die - trying stare. Jack, who looks somewhat like a British citizen, says

"Don't worry Will I'll get the Pearl ready, and I advise you change." "Oi!" he yells making a weird hand gesture toward some of the guests. About a fourth of the guests stand up and rip their clothing, revealing pirate clothing underneath. Jack follows suit and as he ties his red bandana around his head "Now where's my hat?" he says and his hat gets flown onto his head, curiosities of Mr. Cotton's parrot. "If she hurts one pretty hair on Elisabeth's pretty head I'll do something much worse than throw her off my ship within easy swimming distance of Tortuga." Jack mutters to himself as he swaggers down the aisle and Ana Maria quickly follows. Will breaks his stare and runs down the aisle, leaping over the semi-conches Governor Swann and runs toward his apartment above the blacksmith's shop.

Will is now running toward the docks at Port Royal. He is running awkwardly because he has a belt with his sword, hatchet and pistol and he is carrying Elisabeth's sword. He had crafted it himself, the blade perfectly balanced, yet light info for Elisabeth to wield. He still remembers the day he gave it to her. He wanted Elisabeth to be able to defend herself if pirates came. Unfortunately Elisabeth didn't always carry her sword around with her. Knowing that setting sail as soon as possible was very important so they can get Elisabeth back before the pirates got any ideas. Will ran faster. Will shivered at that thought, like he did every time Elisabeth got kidnapped by pirates. When he could see the Pearl he smiled, the sight of the ship relaxed him, besides the fact she was almost ready to set sail. Will slowed down to walk then stopped, taking in the sight of every one of the Pearl's features. Her rigging, sails, masts, bow, stern, even the old reliable ropes. 'Sometimes' Will thinks to himself 'Just sometimes I miss the sea.'

"Let me come with you." a male voice says. Will closes his eyes in a grimace. Not only does he have to stop looking at the Pearl but he had to talk to… "I said, please let me come with you" the voice says walking around to face Will. … Commodore James Norrington, who for some reason always wanted to come with him to rescue Elisabeth, maybe he didn't grasp the fact that he would be sailing on a pirate ship, but he always wanted to come.

"If I told you once I've told you a least twenty times, no." Will says slightly annoyed.

"Then you'll have to get past me to get onboard." Norrington says. Will sighs, drops Elisabeth's sword pulls out his own from his belt, and crosses his blade with the one of Norrington.

"How many times do I haves to tell you." Wills says as the blades begin to dance. "Never block a man from his way out or from getting onto his ship, especially if he is being chased by you or trying to rescue Elisabeth, again." They continue to fight. Will, having fought countless pirates and has been practicing with his swords three hours a day since he could make them, only swung half – heartedly. The Commodore, on the other hand, was using all of his abilities and strength to ward off Will. Will then sees the sails of the Pearl drop and he begins to actually try to make Norrington surrender. It was just like Jack to give the command to set sail when he saw Will. Will was surprised he did not hear the gangplank being pulled up. Norrington, surprised by Will's sudden surge of power, was leaning forward to regain his balance, and to Will's satisfaction just stepped off the loose board on the dock. Will stomped on the plank and, Wham! It hit poor Commodore Norrington really hard right under his chin. Will swiftly ran back to where Elisabeth's sword lay and ran toward the end of the dock. He grabs the rope Jack always let hang in the water when someone is late and hauls himself onboard. "Oi! Norrington." Will says to the figure who is trying to stand up on the pier. "Now have you learned your lesson?"
