AN- Here's Chapter Two! Thank you for all the feedback and I really appreciate it! Posted on Tumblr and on Ao3. Profile names are in my bio.

"Ellie! Ellie! Over here!"

Ellie had just finished her daily chore of herb collecting when she heard an excited Will screaming at the top of his lungs. He ran down and met her with a crushing hug.

"How are you? Look at you! You've grown taller. It is good to see you dear boy. How is the blacksmith's life treating you? beamed Ellie, returning Will's hug.

"It is great! I am learning quite a lot from Mr. Brown. He told me I could help him make swords very soon"

"That is incredible of you! I am so proud? You are growing to be a very fine blacksmith and even finer young man. Were you running some errands Will?"

"Thank you so much Ellie! Yes, Mr. Brown sent me. I am in a bit of a hurry. I will drop by later to see you and Agnes. Bye Bye." Will ran by as fast as he had appeared.

Gracious! That boy is really energetic, she mused to herself as she barely had time to say goodbye. He is growing up to be a fine lad. She somehow knew that this young boy would be destined for greatness but just not in the way most would think or expect.

"Give Mr. Lewis this tea every morning and every night for three days, Mrs. Lewis. Please tell him to rest as much as possible without over exerting himself," instructed Ellie as she handed Mrs. Lewis the neatly packed package. "He should be fine in a couple of days."

"Thank you dear! You are Godsent!"

"Uhmm..about that Mrs. Lewis. You should actually be thanking Agnes. She has helped me quite a lot." a red faced Ellie replied.

"Please learn to take a compliment, child" Agnes chided over from the other room.

"I will be off then. My heartfelt gratitude to the both of you." With that Mrs. Lewis left and as soon as she left, a disgruntled James along with a smug Theodore entered.

"Good Heavens! Whatever happened to you James?" blurted out Ellie, noticing the dark bruise on his right cheek and a black eye.

"Mr. Norrington here was supervising a training session. During the demonstration he had a bit of an accident." As Theodore was relaying the events, James face darkened, the scowl on his face turning more severe. This little bruise did not warrant for any treatment. His wounded pride was the only injury.

"You should know better on handling the recoil of the gun James. You are lucky to escape a severe shoulder injury. Quit frowning! This needs to be treated or else the swelling will increase. We would not want that now, would we?" said Ellie, examining his face. James felt himself going red and he fervently hoped he was not going red in the face and felt himself leaning into her touch. What has gotten into him he did not know.

Ellie let go of his face and James was feeling a bit disappointed. Ellie walked over to the medicine shelf and picked up a balm. "This should do the trick", she then began applying it on the bruises. The balm felt quite soothing to the touch and James found himself leaning to her touch again.

Theodore found the unfolding debacle quite amusing. They were wrapped up in their own world that they completely forgot Theodore existed. How much more oblivious can they get? Even a blind man could see it. He thought, a smirk creeping up. However much he hated interrupting them he had to because there was training to be conducted.

"I hate to interrupt but we might have to get going." Theodore felt himself blanching at the glare James gave him.

The moment lost, the pair crashed into reality. James stood up and thanked a slightly blushing Ellie.

Lizzie and Ellie sat on the sprawling lawns of the Governor's residence soaking up the sun which had finally made an appearance after a long bout of rain. Ellie was lying down on Lizzie's lap and Elizabeth was very busy braiding all sorts of flowers into her hair.

"You do realize I have to walk down to the village right?" Ellie mused out sleepily, the sun and the gentle breeze lulling her.

"Don't move Ellie," the fifteen year old Elizabeth Swann admonished the older girl. "This is a very tricky part". Lizzie then moved to weave more of Ellie's hair and braid in a bright yellow flower. "Did I tell you you have wonderful hair? It is a gorgeous black colour and just look how it shines under the sun!" gushed Elizabeth.

"You have been reminding me about it since you started braiding it Lizzie. Thank you once more." Ellie replied quietly, sleep almost embracing her. A short nap would do, she thought.

"I would really love to see the look on James's face when he sees you right now. He gets this wistful look on his face whenever he looks at you."

Ellie's eyes snapped open, all thoughts of a good nap going right out of the window. Her face exploded in red. That was unexpected!

"What?! That was uncalled for young lady! Way out of line!" gasped out Ellie. "Besides.."

"Ah ha! See you did not deny it!" a delighted Elizabeth laughed out. "Hold still! This is the final part...and done! You look gorgeous!" she told a disgruntled and red faced Ellie.

"Ahem!"

Both girls were startled to see James standing there.

"Good day to you ladies. The Governor is expecting you, Miss Swann."

"Thank you James. Goodbye Ellie and thank you for letting me braid your hair! See you soon!" Lizzie rushed out with her skirts in tow and left a slightly nervous Ellie behind. The cheeky girl!

"I guess I will make my way to the village then. Agnes will be expecting me in a little while. I best be off.." she trailed off, wringing her hands nervously.

"I am going to go down to the docks. Would you like to accompany me?" asked James, offering his arm.

"I would be most honored, good sir. I don't see why not." Ellie replied with a smile that sent the butterflies on a rampage in James, while placing her hand on the crook of his arm.

They made their way and arrived at the healer's a few minutes later. Ellie thanked him, said her goodbyes and was almost at the door when-

"The hair suits you Eleanor"

It was Ellie's butterflies that went amok this time.

AN 2- I wanted this chapter to be a sort of filler chapter. So Lizzie, James and Will arrived at Port Royal in 1720. The events of Curse of the Black Pearl starts in 1728. Lizzie and Will were born in 1708 and James was born in 1700. Ellie was born one year after James, in 1701. This chapter was to be a filler and to show the span of eight years. I know it is not much but my brain was fried! I am really nervous about this chapter. Comments, Favourites and Follows are welcome!
