A harsh beginning
Elizabeth stared into the vast sea as she waited for her beloved Will to come back. " Mother!" her son, William said. " How long do we have to wait 'till father comes back?" Elizabeth wrapped her arms around William and said. " Very soon." She smiled. " Now go and play." William nodded and was off with one of his friends. Elizabeth sighed. " Very very soon..." she whispered to herself.

Captain Jack Sparrow stared at his compass once again. The compass pointed South." Bloody Compass.." Jack muttered under his breath.
Ever since his ship, the black Pearl, was stolen by captain Barbossa,(again) he was trying to reach the Fountain of Youth so he would become an immortal pirate, sailing the seas forever.
But it was very hard to do so, since the compass kept changing direction. First, it was pointing NorthWest, then NorthEast. Now the little needle pointed shook the compass out of frustation. This was the third time that he would have to change course.
" Jack Sparrow does not know what he wants... but, do you know, or are loath to claim it as your own?"
Tia Dalma's words rang through his ears. He stood up for a moment to realize that his boots were shloshing in water. "Water?" Jack said.
He looked down, and sure enough, his little boat was sinking slowly. Jack got his bottle of rum, compass,sword,pistol, and the Jolly Roger flag that was attached to the little boat's mast.
Jack stood up once more to see if he could spot a nearby ship. He saw one. Smirking, he dived into the water, abondening his boat and swam up to the ship.
The ship had no flag.
" Pirates..." Jack thought. he loosened one of the ropes that were attached to the shipa and started climbing.
He soon made it aboard. " Oh bugger..." he his horror, he saw many british soldiers marching everywhere. Jack had climbed aboard a British Navy ship.

Elizabeth once stood stranded in the same island that she was stranded with Jack Sparrow. " ello, luv." she heard a too-familiar voice behind her. She spun around in shock to see him smirking and holding a bottle of rum in each hand. " Care to join me, Lizzy?" he handed her a bottle of rum and walked to the shore.
She was speechless. Finally after a few minutes she said " Jack?" Elizabeth finally recuperated from her shock and was able to talk now.
" W-What are you doing here? W-What am I doing here?" She looked at her surroundings.
She ran after Jack. " Jack, what are you doing here?" she repeated her question as soon as she caught up to didnt respond, and kept walking along the shore." Jack?" Elizabeth asked, horribly confused.
Finally, after a while, Jack stopped walking, spun around to see Elizabeth in the face and retorted. " You tell me , luv." Elizabeth was shocked by his response and looked at him straight in the eye.
Jack wore that smirk that always made her mad, but then at the same time, make her swoon on her started walking once again without saying another word. " JACK!" elizabeth screamed.
Now she was really mad... " what do you mean by that?" she yelled at him. She looked down at her hand and saw the bottle of rum in her hand." Might as well.." she muttered as she took off the cork and took a small gulp from the bottle.
She winced as she felt the beastly liquid run down her throat but merely took another sip. " Why am i here?" Elizabeth asked herself.
Jack had to hide, and quickly. He sneaked up to an empty office. He hid in a rather large desk, convince that no one would see him, and waited.
" Lord Norrington."." Probably a british soldier.." Jack thought. " We have searched day and night for about a week and still nothing." he continued." Well, keep looking.." a voice said.
Lord Norrington was conceiled by his enormous chair and was turned to the other side, so he would not be facing the soldier."Sir, he probably might even be dead right now!"
"I fail to think so."
the lord stood up, but still not facing the soldier said. " Jack Sparrow is a dangerous pirate and I will not cease to find this pirate until I see he is hanged and dead!"he said, voice rising with every word. The soldier quickly retreated with a nod and a " Yes, sir."

Elizabeth tasted the salt water on her lips and stood up.
" Where am I?"
She saw her son, William playing swordfights with his other friend, and soon realized that she was back at the "Waiting Spot" as she liked to call it she stood up to see if Jack would be there, but saw no such thing.
" It was all a dream..." she realized." a very lifelike dream!" as soon as she said that, guilt clenched her heart as she once again, had dreamed of the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow.
He had occupied her dreams every time she slept,and not once dreamed of Will.
Elizabeth quickly erased the thought in her mind and walked to her nearby house, where she and her son lived while they were waiting for Will to come.
Before she could enter, she felt a very dirty hand pressed againsnt her mouth.
Elizabeth widened her eyes in shock and pain and tried to pry the man off her lips. S
he tried everything but failed to do so.
" That will be about enough, " a voice hissed in her ears. Elizabeth winced as she heard him calling her. " Mrs. Turner."
She had no idea why she felt shivers down her spine when she heard it.
She tried to scream but all that came out was a weak yelp.
Suddenly she felt a sharp pain on her side. It pained her so much that she began to see dark red splotches and her vision began to blur.
The ground suddenly rushed up to meet her.
Jack was still hiding and was trying to figure out how he will be able to get out of the office without being caught." Damn you Jack Sparrow..." Lord Norrington said fiercely.
Jack froze.
