(Port Royal)
(Town Square)
(Wedding)
(All eyes were on the priest as he stood at the altar reciting the wedding vows)
(He glanced at the young man before him)
(He stood tall and happy a large grin on his face and a twinkle in his eyes)
(The priest smiled)
(It was always a wonderful feeling to be joining two people who are truely in love together)
(he turned to the young lady standing next to him)
(her dress was a little muddy and soaken but it didn't change the fact she was a vision in white)
(a smile was on her face also but he couldnt help but realise it seemed fake and she was missing the spark in her eyes)
(he then took his gaze off Elizabeth and looked at her father who was sitting in the first row)
(he was smiling proudly at his daughter)
(the priest then looked at the empty seat next to him)
(he sighed)
(that was the seat in which the mother of the bride would occupy)
(the old priest looked at Elizabeth and her father in pity they had lost the young girls mother only a few years after she was born)
(he took his gaze off of Elizabeth and her father and turned his attention back to the couple before him)
(Elizabeth looked up at the priest)
(she noticed his gaze went from Will to herself to her father and back to herself)
(she also saw the look of pity in his eyes when he saw her)
Elizabeth: Did he know what its like to marry someone that you are not sure you love???
(she wondered)
(she watched as the priest turned his attention back to her and Will)
(she looked at the priest who was ready to say the final vows that would bound her and will forever)
(her left hand was hanging by her side as if the ring weren't a ring but a a ball and chain)
(forver holding her back)
Elizabeth: This is it
(she thought)
Elizabeth: Never can i feel the spray of the sea, the wind in my hair, the adreline you get when your battling out the waves, never will i experience freedom again
(she thought)
(her mind racing this was too much for her)
Elizabeth: Ahhhhhhhh
(she screamed inside her head)
(Outside she looked like a happy bride without a care in the world)
(inside she was a tortured soul engadged in a silent war)
(she took a deep breath and closed her eyes silently waiting for the priest to finish)
Priest: I know pronounce you...
Voice: STOP THE WEDDING!!!!
(the voice ringing throughout the town square)
(Will turned around and sighed a pained look on his face)
(the crowd turned around eager to know who had stopped the wedding)
(they gasped and fell silent)
(Elizabeth felt dizzy the mixture of suspense the light and everything was too much for her)
(she closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths)
(the she spun around)
(she gasped)
(there stood a dirty soaken in mud James Norrington his clothes were torn ripped and dirty)
(his hands firmly clutching a pistol which was placed against the temple of a very frightened admiral)
(Norrington leaned into the admiral and whispered something harshly in the admirals ear)
Norrington: Say it again
(the admiral nodded)
Admiral: STOP THE WEDDING
(he choked out)
Elizabeth: James??
(she questioned)
(the dizziness over coming her once again)
(her mind was screaming for her to run but her feet were frozen)
Elizabeth: Ahhhhh I can't take this anymore its too difficult
(she thought silently screaming)
(the sun blinding her)
(her legs became wobbly she could no longer stand up)
(her legs became weak and she colapsed on the floor below her)
(Will looked at where Elizabeth was standing not so long ago)
(he noticed her on the floor and knelt down next to her)
(the crowd ignored her they were more interested in the admiral and former commodore)
(she moved her legs up to her chest and her head placed her head between her legs)
(Will placed a comforting arm around her)
Will: Its ok, I know everytime we are about to get married there always seemed to be something or someone stopping us, dont worry we will get married
(he told her)
(she didn't reply)
(she just screamed releasing all her pain, anger, and frustration which she had kept hidden inside her for so long)
(the crowd took their eyes off Norrington and the frightened admiral and looked at Elizabeth)
(many of them looked at her with pity while others thought of her as selfish)
(she was rich, the governors daughter, experienced freedom, and was marrying a handsome man who gave his undying love for her)
(Governor Swann looked at his daughter worried)
Governor Swann: Elizabeth???
(she stood up suddenly)
(taking a deep breath she asked the question many had been wondering)
Elizabeth: why are you here???
(she demanded the anger boiling up inside her)
(it had taken her so long to get ready and control her feelings and now that oppertunity to escape had once again appeared)
(Norrington looked at her nervously he could tell she was annoyed)
(taking a deep breath he told her the truth)
Norrington: I don't think you should marry him
(he told her)
(she looked at him shocked)
Elizabeth: WHAT! You stopped my wedding because you thought i shouldnt marry the man i love
(she responded almost shouting)
(Will stood up and placed a comforting arm on her)
Norrington: Look he is all wrong for you, he is the exact opposite of everything you ever wanted, i mean he is over protective
(he started)
Elizabeth: Is there anything wrong with that??
(she interupted)
Norrington: over caring, sufforcating, caging, no freedom man
(he told her)
(that was it the last straw)
(she threw her viel and bouquet on the altar next to her and began marching down the asile)
(she walked right up to him so she was face to face with him)
Norrington: He has no respect for what you truely want
(he finished)
SLAP
(her hand firmly met his left cheek a loud piercing noise filled the town square)
(everyone went quiet)
(she removed her hand from his face)
(his face was no longer facing her but the direction he was slapped)
(a large red handprint appearing on his face)
(he turned his face painfully)
(his hand still clutching the gun)
Norrington: Elizabeth please listen and let me finish
Elizabeth: No you listen, give me one blasted good reason why i shouldnt marry Will
(he took a deep breath)
Norrington: Because Sparrow loves you
(he finally told her)
