Hi people. Here is chapter two. Thanks for reading! Please review.

Eight years later

Tallulah's eyes fluttered open. She groaned quietly and unwillingly lifted her heavy head from her soft, frilled pillow. She twisted to her left to see her sister Elizabeth also moaning at the intrusion from her sleep.

"I had a dream about Will. You?" Elizabeth asked groggily as she pulled herself up reluctantly, into a sitting position.

"Oooo, a dream about William, was it arousing?" Tallulah gleefully giggled, mocking her sister. Elizabeth instantly grabbed her pillow and flung it at Tallulah's head.

"Stop fooling around, Lula! You know what I mean."

Tallulah gave up "Fine. Lizzie you are such a prude. But yes I know what you mean. About the day we met."

"Yes." Her sister simply answered. The twins regularly shared dreams, through some sort of physic connection, and probably from spending every moment of their lives together.

Tallulah looked around their dimly lit bedroom, the heavy, gold and blue curtains allowing the morning's sun to light the room subtly. The room was decorated in pale blues and neutral beiges. The exquisite furniture and precious trinkets scattered around the room revealed the wealth of the Governor and his daughters.

Elizabeth pushed back the cream and beige layers of her duvet and swung her petite, bare feet to the dark wood floor. Tallulah mirrored her sister's movements and sat opposite Elizabeth, on her own bed. The darker haired girl opened the bedside drawers the sisters shared, and lifted a false bottom in the top drawer, revealing the precious pirate medallion they had taken from William Turner eight years ago. Elizabeth sighed in thought as she stared at the shiny piece of gold, and passed it to her sister. Tallulah had always admired the intricate pattern surrounding the skull and wished she knew what the medallion meant.

In the eight years since they had acquired the medallion, the girls had grown from sweet, little twelve-year-olds, into stunning, charming young women. They were beautiful and magnetic; people wanted to be their friends in the hope some of their grace and allure would rub off on them. They were tall, elegant and slender, with lustrous blonde locks and inviting eyes. All men chased the twins, due to their beauty, gentleness and their good breeding; although, Tallulah was quite often the subject of the upper class' gossip, due to her jovial spirit and carefree nature. However her looks and captivating aura was a very effective antidote to the scandals, making her even more popular.

Suddenly, a loud knock on the door shattered the sister's private morning.

Governor Swann's voice came from behind the door and asked, "Elizabeth, Tallulah?"

In panic, Tallulah threw on the medallion, slipping it below the neckline of her nightdress.

"Are you alright? … Are you decent?" their father's voice carried on.

Both sisters rushed to pull on their robes as they called out "Yes, yes!"

The bedroom doors were thrown open, and the Governor entered with two maids, holding two very large dress boxes.

"Still abed at this hour?" their father smiled.

The maids hurried to open the curtains, temporarily blinding the girls, and opened the windows to allow fresh air to flood into the stuffy bedroom.

"It is a beautiful day." He stated as the girls stood to wish him good morning.

He signalled to the maids, who brought forward the two boxes, as he announced, "I have gifts for you."

The lids of the boxes were removed to reveal the dresses. Elizabeth exclaimed, "Oh, its beautiful" as she lifted hers out of the box.

Tallulah did the same and agreed, "Yes they are."

"Aren't they?" Governor Swann concluded with a hopeful look situated on his face.

Tallulah eyed her father suspiciously, "May I inquire as to the occasion?"

The Governor said with a flourish, "Does a father need an occasion to dote upon his daughters?" smiling at his beaming twins.

He turned to the maids and said "Go on."

The sisters moved behind the dressing division with the maids following. They began to remove their robes and nightgowns.

Their father then admitted, "Actually, I, um, I had hoped you might wear them for the ceremony today?"

Tallulah asked sceptically from behind the division, "The ceremony?"

"Captain Norrington's promotion ceremony."

Elizabeth glanced at her sister, who had stuck her head out to look at their father and announce with satisfaction, "I knew it!"

Governor Swann now rather nervous, as Tallulah was pulled back by the maid, said, "Commodore Norrington, as he is about to become." At this the maids tightened the twin's corsets, gaining a gasp from both. Their father carried on, "A fine gentleman, don't you think? He fancies you, you know, Elizabeth?" Tallulah pulled her face into a mixture of sympathy for her sister, and of pain from the tight corset. Elizabeth gasped again as her laces were pulled tight.

"How's it coming?"

"It's difficult to say." Elizabeth admitted, whilst trying to breath properly.

"I'm told it is the latest fashion in London." The Governor informed them.

"Well, women in London must've learned not to breathe." Concluded Tallulah, on a painful intake of air, as her maid tied the laces.

There was a short knock at the door as a servant announced, "Milord, you have a visitor." Governor Swann left the girls to finish getting dressed.

The moment the door shut, Tallulah exclaimed loudly, "Bloody Hell…Christ!"

"I can't breath." Elizabeth admitted.

"Nor I" Tallulah agreed angrily.

In the foyer, Will Turner, whilst waiting for Governor Swann, studied a copper sconce. He stretched to touch the cold metal, and it broke off in his hand. In his panic, as he heard someone approaching, he dropped the sconce hurriedly into the umbrella and cane stand to his right and drew his face into an expression of innocent indifference.

"Ah, Mr. Turner, good to see you again." Governor Swann greeted the attractive young man.

"Good day, sir. I have your order." Will swiftly brought forward a long thin case, opened it and took out a beautiful, gleaming sword.

"Well" The older man exclaimed, clearly impressed, as he unsheathed the sword.

"The blade is folded steel. That's gold filigree laid into the handle … if I may?"

The Governor passed the sword back to Will who balanced it in the middle, on his fingers.

"Perfectly balanced. The tang is nearly the full width of the blade." Will then flipped the sword in the air and presented it gracefully to the Governor with pride.

"Impressive, very impressive. Ah now, Commodore Norrington is going to be very pleased with this." The Governor said with pleasure as he took the sword and covered it. "Do pass my compliments on to your master. Hmm?" giving the sword back to Will.

With a strange look on his face Will assured him, "I shall. A craftsmen is always pleased to hear his work is appreciated."

Tallulah and Elizabeth, laughing lightly, began the decent down the stairs.

"You two look stunning!" Governor Swann complimented.

They did. Tallulah' dress was and off white silk. With ocean blue flowers decorating the fabric, intertwined with gold vines. Elizabeth's was identical, however with a pretty green in place of the blue. The dresses fit the girls perfectly, accentuating every curve and line. Tallulah being the slightly bigger breasted of the two, with a smaller waist. The twin's hair was curled and pinned on top of their heads, with several pieces naturally falling on their shoulders. Elizabeth wore a bonnet on her head, matching her dress, whilst the maid was carrying Tallulah's bonnet behind them.

Elizabeth saw Will and exclaimed, "Will! It is so good to see you." Pulling her sister quickly down the stairs to reach him.

"We had a dream about you last night." Tallulah told him, giggling, at Will's embarrassment and Lizzie's eagerness. Tallulah knew very well how the two felt about each other. Tallulah snuck out of the house regularly when no one was paying attention to go see Will, she had been for years and he taught her how to sword fight. They were good friends, in secret. Lizzie would come too, occasionally, but would always refuse to join the fight out of fear of being caught. Will constantly talked about Elizabeth, and Lizzie would always ask how Will was, when Tallulah returned from her secret lessons.

"About me?" Will stuttered, in answer.

Tallulah scoffed at her father's attempts to end the improper conversation. "Yes, well, it that entirely proper for you to…?

Cutting her father off, Elizabeth replied, "About the day we met, do you remember?"

"Miss Tallulah, your bonnet?" The maid asked.

"No, I do not want to wear that absurd bonnet." Tallulah told the maid, "It is uncomfortable and unnecessary."

The Governor turned to Tallulah, "Please, dear. It will keep they sun off your face, it is rather hot out."

Tallulah gave in, "Ugh. Fine, hand it to me." Returning to the conversation.

"How could I forget Miss Swann?" Will smiled.

"Will, how many times must I ask you to call me Elizabeth?" she chided.

"At least once more, Miss Swann, as always" he replied after a quick glance at the Governor's odd expression.

"There. See? At least the boy has a sense of propriety."

Tallulah had moved to stand beside Will at this point, and started to disagree, "Actually father, Will is, Ow!" Will had reached behind her and pinched her upper arm hard.

"What was that darling?" Governor Swann asked.

After a look from Will, meaning, 'shut up', Tallulah replied, "Oh, nothing, I was just mumbling."

"Ok, dear. Now we really must be going." Governor Swann announced handing Elizabeth her parasol, "There you are."

Lizzie curtly said, "Good day, Mr. Turner."

"Come along, girls." The Governor added, escorting Elizabeth outside.

Tallulah turned to Will, "You should have just called her Elizabeth, you know."

"Not when your father is here. He already thought the conversation was improper." Will replied.

"It was improper, I just enjoy watching you squirm." Tallulah smiled sweetly.

"But you call her Miss Swann when it is just us three, too. If you are going to make any head way with her, Will, you are going to have to start calling her Elizabeth."

Will began to say something, "Lula, you are so annoy - " but was cut off.

"TALLULAH!" her father yelled.

Grimacing she said "Bye William. I'll come for a lesson tomorrow, we can talk about this later." She kissed him on the cheek and ran out to the carriage, picking up her parasol on the way.
