Dakota's POV
It has been a long hard three months, but it was worth it. My crew became will known and revered by both other pirates and the navy. I came across Shipwreck Cove and left Lady there to help guard it. Captain Teague was fine with it and was impress with my progress as captain. No sign of Jack Sparrow or the East India Trading Company. My pirate flag had a cat head with two flaming swords on it.
Now it was time for me to return to Port Royal for Elizabeth and Will's wedding. I got beautiful new dress for the occasion with matching shoes. I rowed to land this time instead of swimming as I didn't want to be spotted. When I reached port I tied my boat to the dock and went to the fort.
I got there and saw Elizabeth there with the other guests no sign of Will. "Elizabeth, where is Will?" I asked when I reached her side. Just then it started to rain as Elizabeth sat there kneeling on the ground in silent tears. The guests started to leave, but I stayed by her side not caring about the rain. "It's ok Elizabeth it usually rains on wedding days and I'm sure Will has a good reason for being late" I tell her placing a hand on her shoulder.
Just then we heard a lot of foot steps behind and turned to see Will in chains surrounded by soldiers. Elizabeth ran to him and I followed more cautious of the soldiers. Even though no one aside from my crew and a few pirate captains know who I am. And I also don't bare the pirate mark I was still cautious.
"Want do think you're doing tell your men to stand down at once" Governor Swann told a man facing the sea when he appeared.
"Weatherby Swann it has been to long" the man said as he turned around taking off his coat.
"Cutler Beckett" I said in disgust as the Governor said it sounding confused.
"It's Lord now actually and an honour to see you again Miss Turner" he told us kissing my hand. I pulled it away quickly stepping back from him glaring.
"Lord or not you have no reason or authority to arrest this man" the Governor told him.
"Actually I do, Mr Mercer" Beckett replied and an other man stepped forward holding a folder. He gave a piece of parchment to Beckett who gave it to the governor.
"Warrant for the arrest of one William Turner" he stated.
"This warrant is for Elizabeth Swann" the governor told him after reading it.
"Really my mistake, that is so annoying arrest her" Beckett told his men.
"On want charges" Elizabeth exclaimed as Will tried to reach her to stop the soldiers putting her in chains.
"Ah here's the one for William Turner" Beckett stated handing an other warrant to the governor. "I have another here for a James Norrington is he present?" he asks.
"Commodore Norrington resigned his post a few days ago" Governor Swann told him.
"I don't believe that answers my question" Beckett told him.
"Lord Beckett under the decree of questions not answered. William and Elizabeth are under the protection of the crown. And you will tell us want they are charged with" I told him.
"The charge is helping a man convicted of piracy sentence to death. For which the punishment is..." the Governor read aloud.
"For which the punishment regrettably is also death" Beckett finished for him. "Take them to the jail and Miss Turner will be coming with me" Beckett stated and started dragging me by my arm. I didn't fight as I really wanted to yell at him for want he had just done.
"You have no right to do that to my family how dare you!" I yell at him when we reached his office. I ripped my arm from his grasp and slapped him not caring he was a Lord.
"Still feisty as always Dakota, but you know you can be arrested for that" he told me rubbing his sore cheek. "I know your secret by the way" he says as he sat down. I was nervous not knowing which one he was talking about. "You know you should not have left you ship Captain Wolf" he tells me.
That is when I noticed the smoke out the window coming from the secluded beach where I had left the 'Shadow Cat'. I ran to the window and saw a navy ship heading back to the dock. I released that my crew and ship were now gone as I held back my sadness replacing it with a burning anger.
"Now you have two choices Dakota either be branded a pirate and face the gallows. Or become my wife and get a full burden" Beckett's tells me from the fire place.
"I would rather face Davy Jones then me your wife" I growled at him.
"Perhaps sometime in a cell will improve your attitude" he stated. He called a couple guards and told them to take me to a cell. But to bring Will back to him so that they could have a chat.
However, as soon as Dakota got her chance she elbowed both the guards and jumped into the sea. She swam to the bottom and swam away from Port Royal. But I stayed close to Port Royal thinking of ideas how to save Elizabeth and Will. When I saw my ship and my crew dead I cried at the bottom of the bay. Before swimming back to Port Royal docks at sunset to see Will get in a dingy.
