(Port Royal)
(Guest Bedroom)
(Abby now stood at the window which was opened as far as it possibly could be)
(the curtains were neatly tied back to ensure that the window could clearly be seen)
(Abby sighed as she watched the busy town get ready for the evening ahead preparing the ships, food, dresses, suits,
and all sorts were being delieved to the up class houses of the town)
(it seemed like everyone would be attending the ball and those who weren't were preparing it)
(the ball was due to start in a matter of hours which only increased the work speed of the maids and servants of the town)
(business were fully running and operating and it seemed like everyone had a job to do, and no time would be wasted)
(the strong caribbean breeze blew in through the large bay window gently rustling Abby's hair)
(she listened and watched as the calm waves gently crashed against the beach)
(her eyes were closed trapping her in her own little world)
(her mind was racing and planning the evening ahead)
(it would only be a matter of hours before she was back on the sea again after having kidnapped the pair)
(Abby herself was counting down the moments before she could step on a ship once again, feel the wind in her hair, and the spray of the sea as she captained her ship across the warm blue waters)
(Another loud knock on the door brought her unwillingly back to reality)
Knock Knock
(she turned to the door staring at it instensely as if the knocking would stop on her command and that the visitor would simply just disappear so she could go back to her world)
(knowing full well that Fifi was in the bathroom she made her way to the door)
(she flung open the door an obvious scowl on her face)
(a young maid stood nervously at the door)
(her black hair was neatly pulled back into a tight bun and hid under her work uniform)
(the rings underneath her eyes clearly showed the hours of laboured she had undergoed)
(the scowl instantly disappered from Abby's face)
Maid: Sorry to disturb you miss, but i was wondering if you had any clothes that i could clean for you?
(she asked in a mousey quite voice)
(Abby thought for a second before remembering her pile of pirate clothes)
Abby: Might as well make use of the service
(she thought to herself as she handed her and Fifi's soaking wet clothes to the maid)
Abby: Can you have then ready in a few hours?
(she asked polietly)
(the maid gave a shy nod before running off eager to fufil Abby's request)
(Abby sighed as she closed the door)
(making a mental note to offer the girl a place on her crew when she got her ship back)
(instead of walking back towards the window which remained open)
(she walked towards the large king sized bed and colapsed on top of it)
(not even making an effort to get it)
(she fell asleep as her head his the soft pillow)

(Elizabeth's bedroom)
(Elizabeth Swann lay fast asleep amongst the tangles of the bed covers)
(her eyes were clenched firmly together and her face wore a trouble expression)
(a loud noise instantly woke her up looking rather confused and slightly more destressed)
(she reconized the sound to be coming from her bedroom door and after a quick yawn she scrambled off of her bed)
Elizabeth: Come in
(she called hardly reconizing her weak faint voice)
(the door cracked open revealing yet another maid)
(however this one seemed to be wide awake and filled with life)
(she also seemed to be around the same age as the maid who disturbed Abby however it was difficult to tell because this maid looked more alive by her appearance)
(Elizabeth instantly reconized her to be louise)
Louise: Miss, it's time for me to help you get ready for the ball
(she told her)
(Elizabeth gave a nod walking away from the door towards her dresser leaving the door slightly open to invite Louise in)
(She sat down on one of the small bench stools and paciently waited while Louise headed towards her closet in search of her pre-order ball gown made specially for the evening)
(sub-conciously Elizabeth listened to Louise as she prepared her and readied her without making a sound or a single protest)
(it wasn't like anything that she could say would or could stop the ball so why bother trying)
(part of her inside was beginning to give up to lose all hope)
(her spirt was slowly dying inside as it were the flame that once sparked so brightly was dim and barely alight any more)
(her eyes no longer shown as bright has it had a few hours ago)
(during that time of rest everything had in effect caught up on her and was beginning to take its tole slowly weaking her from the inside to the out)
(no one would notice though and no one would care)
(to everyone else she was the same Governor's daughter without a single care in the world and that was how it would remain)
