Jack dropped me off at port royal two days before Elizabeth's wedding.
He couldn't assist at it because the guards would have spot him.
Elizabeth was so excited.
She really loved Will.
We choose her dress, the flowers, everything was perfect.
It was now the time.
As soon as everything was ready, it started pouring rain.
I held eli close to me trying to confort her.
We heard that Will got arrested and he can't make it to the wedding.
Worse, he can't marry Elizabeth.
It was cruel.
More guards arrived.
I heard footsteps so I turned around.
Will was standing there, holding tightly by two guards and cuffs around his wrists.
His clothes were very pretty, he seemed like a prince.
I gotta admit, he was very pretty and attractive.

"will!! Why is this happening??", Elizabeth, cried

"I don't know. You look beautiful.". Will answered.

"it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding."

The governor ran to us and shouted.
He obviously wasn't aware of what was happening.
Another man turned to us
He was the leader I could tell.
He was quite short and had one of those horrible wig.
He gazed at me, letting his eyes rest a little longer on my body.
I frowned in disgust.

"governor Weatherby Swann, it's been too long.", the man said with arrogance.

"cutler Beckett??", my adoptive father asked in disbelief.

"it's lord now, actually", he replied.

I now understood.
It was the one who decided to not put me at the hanging station.
He saved my life , but by the way he was looking at me, it wasn't because of love.
It was his own ego.
I hate him.

"lord or not, you have no reason and no authority to arrest this man.", The governor said.

"in fact, I do. Mr. Mercer?"

A man gave him five papers.
He read them out loud.

"the warrant for the arrest of one William Turner."

He gave it to the governor who read it.

"this warrant is for Elizabeth Swann.", my adoptive father exclaimed.

"is it? That's annoying, my mistake.", Becket answered casually.

I started to get really mad.
Of course he gave him the one for his daughter, that was clearly not a mistake.

"arrest her."

" on what charges?", eli yelled.

" Aha. Here's the one for William Turner. I have another one for a Mr. James Norrington. Is he present?"

"what are the charges???" Eli yelled louder.

"oh and another one for Océane Swann.", he said glancing at me.

"you asshole we didn't do anything! It's not even my last name dumbass. " I yelled as they cuffed me.

"oh I know. And I will change that. Mrs. Océane Beckett. Sounds good to me." He smiled in a ugly grin.

I wanted to slap him so hard.

"i already got a man in my life. If he hear about this he will kill you without hesitation.", I said angrily.

"Ah. Jack Sparrow. Well, I dont see him anywhere. Too bad."

"THE CHARGES?", Will and Elizabeth yelled at the same time.

Governor took the papers from Beckett hands and started reading it at loud.

"The charges are conspiring to set free a man convicted of crimes against the Crown and Empire and condemned to death, for which the...."

The governor stopped in shock.
Beckett finished his sentence.

"for which the punishment, regrettably, is also death. Perhaps you remember jack sparrow."

"Captain. Captain Jack Sparrow.", I sighed in annoyance.

"captain Jack Sparrow."

Meanwhile jack was looking for the key of David Jones.

The morning after, the guards took me and William to Beckett office.
Will was still handcuffed.

"the prisoners are here, lord Beckett.", a guard said seriously.

I let out a small laugh.
Prisoners.
Seriously??
What an asshole.

"those won't be necessary.", Beckett said without looking at us.

The guards took Will's  handcuffs away.
Beckett poured us some rum in two little glasses.

"the East India Trading Company has need of you two services. We wish that you act as our agents in a business transaction with our mutual friend Captain Sparrow."

I frowned.

"how do you know him?", I asked.

"we've had dealings in the past. And we've each left our mark on the other."

Will looked more confused than me.

"what mark did he leave on you?"
Beckett didn't answered.

"by your efforts, Jack Sparrow was set free. I would like you two to go to him and recover a certain property in his possession.", he continued.

"recover. At the point of a sword?", Will asked.

I will never do that to Jackie. Ever.

"bargain."

He showed us a notebook.

"letters of marque. You will offer what amounts to a full pardon. Jack will be free, a privateer in the employ of England."

"Jackie would never even think of accepting this request. That's not freedom.", I said giving him a death stare.

Beckett scoffed.

"Freedom. Jack Sparrow is a dying breed. The world is shrinking, the blank edges of the map filled in. Jack must find his place in the new world or perish. Not unlike you, Mr. Turner. You and your fiancée face the hangman's noose."

"so you get Jack and the Black Pearl?", Will asked.

"the Black Pearl? A ship? Hardly. The item in question is considerably smaller and far more valuable, something Sparrow keeps on his person at all times."

"the compass.", I answered angrily.

"bring back that compass or there's no deal. If there's no deal, Elizabeth is getting hanged and you my sweet Océane, will be mine."

"What do you mean?", I yelled.

"I'm gonna marry you, if you want it or not, you are gonna be my wife."

He than left.
Will and I looked at each other.
We need to find a way to get the compass or some sort of deal, either way, it's gonna be the end.
I will never let my sister die.
I'm ready to marry Beckett to save her.
