Prologue

He stood alone in the room, his back turned to the open door that led to the quiet town he had come to hate. A breeze flitted through the blacksmith shop, and he turned his head to embrace it as it caressed his brown hair. His eyes closed as he let the memories sweep over him. The breeze had brought with it the smell of the sea, and now he could hear the waves slapping against the side of the boat. He could feel the gentle rocking underneath his booted feet, hear the gulls, and taste the air . . . and the life, the life he wanted, the life he had found too late, the life he could never have. He ached for that world -- the world of those he had always thought he despised until learning the truth of their world and realizing that he, too, was one of them, a Pirate.

The yearning in his heart was an ache unlike any he had ever known before returning to land for good, and it was almost the worst pain he had ever known -- almost, because there was one ache that was even worse, one ache that constantly held what remained of Will Turner's heart and soul in its savage, merciless grip. An ache that he never could have imagined before. An ache that he knew he should not have . . . but could not shake regardless of what he tried. A blinding, numbing ache from the loss of him.

He'd never known any one else like him. At first, the other man had infuriated him, but as he had come to know him, had learned to see past the barricades that the mighty Pirate constantly kept in place, Will had fallen -- madly, senselessly, completely in love. But he knew none of that mattered for his feelings were forbidden and would never be returned. Sure, Jack cared for him, cared for him as a friend, perhaps even as a brother, but nothing more. Even now, he made the occasional visit, but if Will were to ever hint that his cares for the infamous Captain Sparrow lay any deeper, Jack would sail away out of his life forever. Will would do anything to keep him in his life in any matter for as long as he could . . . regardless of the way seeing him yet knowing that he could never be with him in the way he longed, in the way he dreamed of every time he shut his eyes, tore at his heart.

Besides, his head argued once more with his heart, what good did any of it do him, even thinking of his true beloved, when he was to marry the girl he had so foolishly thought he loved on the morrow? He turned the ring around its place on his finger. What he wouldn't give to run from Elizabeth and sail away into Jack's arms! But that could never be and he was a lucky man, or at least that's what everybody else believed and he, too, would have believed once what felt like a lifetime ago, to have won Miss Swann's coveted affections. He cared for Elizabeth. He always had, and a part of him would always love her -- but she meant nothing to him in the ways that mattered most. He could never love her the way she desired, the way he should, the way a husband loves his wife. He should not be marrying her, and yet he could not bring himself to break her heart for a life that he knew was pointless rather he was wed or not. Jack would never want him.

"You're not getting wedding jitters now, are you, son?"

The gruff voice startled Will out of his thoughts, and his eyes snapped open to find an all-too familiar figure standing in front of him. Will shook his head; he had allowed himself to become so lost in his thoughts that he had not even heard the Governor's approach. "Of course not, Governor," he quickly reassured the elder man with the fake smile that his lips had become so accustomed to.

"Good, but you know," the Governor's arm began to reach behind Will, but as the boy followed the man's movement, he quickly clasped his shoulder instead and continued to speak as they started to walk, "you're going to be married to my daughter soon enough. Don't you think it's past time you started calling me father?"

Will's eyes widened, and he nearly choked on the words that leapt to his tongue, words that he dared not speak. "What's the matter, son?" The governor examined his face for a moment before a mixture of concern and embarrassment washed over his own. "Oh, I'm sorry! How careless of me! I . . . I forgot . . . Your father was a fine man, William; I'm sure although . . . You know, there is a horrid rumor going around that your father was a Pirate, none other than Bootstrap Bill himself!"

Will cut his eyes at Governor Swann, suspiciously watching the older man's eyes. "That he was," he admitted. Despite everything, he would not deny his heritage -- not now, not after all that he had learned.

The Governor froze in mid-stride. He lifted his arm from Will's shoulder as if the young man had suddenly been coated in poison. "Your father was a Pirate?" he repeated. Will nodded, turning to face the Governor. "And you admit that willingly?" Again, Will nodded. "Do you know what marrying the son of a Pirate will do to my daughter's reputation?"

He could not keep the flash of building anger from his eyes. "I assure you, sir, that Elizabeth is fully aware of my heritage and is fine with it."

"Be that as it may, how could you wish such embarrassment and shame upon her if you truly love her?"

Will had not liked the turn the conversation had taken, and already his hand rested upon the hilt of the sword he had kept at his side since returning from his adventure on the seas. His jaw was already set in a firm line when he started to speak again. His words were lost before they could leave his mouth, however, as he caught sudden movement out of the corner of his eye. Will turned swiftly and was just in time to block a stranger's sword. Now, he could see that the Governor was not alone but accompanied by two large men who he had never seen before. "Governor, what's going on?"

The Governor shook his head even as he picked up a board from a nearby desk. "Too many questions," he murmured. Seeing what he was doing, Will prepared to defend himself, but now both men swept their swords at him. He quickly met their attacks, but even as he fended them off, the board met its mark with such force that he went down immediately.

The Governor quickly dropped the board onto the dirt and dusted his hands off. When he looked up, he was met with the surprised looks of his two most secret guards. He shook his head. "She is my daughter, and I need not explain my actions to you. Just take the boy to the meeting place."

"But, sir, are you sure . . . ?" one guard started to ask but fell silent at the look that answered him.

"But what if Miss Swann finds out, sir?" asked the second.

"Leave my daughter to me, and do as I command you. I must keep her safe from this . . . Pirate," he sneered disdainfully down at the boy. "He has had his reward for saving her to have won my daughter's heart, but he shall not have her hand. With time, Elizabeth will forget about him, and perhaps then she will marry some one who is worthy of her and her station. Go now and take him, but do be quiet about it. We can't have any one else finding out about this."
