Summary: Will Turner III gets kidnapped by pirates after he wanders off during one of Elizabeth's meetings. However, the captain gets rather annoyed to find out the new hostage seems more amused than anything when he finds out that he's now on a pirate ship… Spoilers for AWE.

A/N: I watched AWE on Friday and I just loved it so much that I had to write something – this fic was produced as a result. Note: the characters may act a bit OOC.

Usual disclaimers apply.

"Let me go!!"

The two pirates ignored the struggling hostage between them as they unceremoniously dropped the boy at the feet of their captain.

Nine-year-old William Turner III blew a lock of brown hair off his face and glared at the man in front of him "And who the hell are you?"

He yelped as the man grabbed the front of his shirt and jerked him forward, "I'd watch my manners if I were you, boy. You don't want to make me angry."

To the surprise of the man, the boy in front of him merely looked annoyed. "Well, you are a pirate, aren't you?"

Captain Nessuno gave bark of laughter as he waved his sword around to emphasize his point "What's it to you?"

Will merely shrugged, "I don't know. You could have been bank robbers or state criminals or the insane man from the East side of the village or people that like kidnapping kids for no reason."

"I assure you, boy, that I have a very good reason."

"Oh?"

Nessuno was a bit disconcerted to find that the boy looked almost bored by now.

"I'd wager that I'll be able to get quite a bit of gold for a boy like you."

"You're planning of selling me into slavery?"

"You betcha! Unless your folks are willing to fork over a large amount of money…"

"Nah," Will shook his head, "My mom's pretty poor." Which in itself was a vast understatement in itself as his mother was currently Governor of Port Royal and reigning Pirate King….

Well, they were poorer than the King of England.

"Then you're outta luck then!"

"Say, does this mean you know Captain Jack Sparrow?" Will abruptly changed the topic.

"Why does every single hostage ask me that…" Nessuno rolled his eyes and replied brusquely "Of course I know the scoundrel!"

"Ooh," Will pretended to look really keen, "Can I meet him?"

"No, you can't meet him!" roared the captain, "Now-"

"How about the Flying Dutchman? Can I meet the captain of that ship?!"

"Are ye nuts? No sane man wants to meet Davy Jones if they can avoid him!"

Will shrugged, "My father said that he was really dedicated organ player."

Nessuno just stared at him for a second. "I wonder if his parents dropped him on the head when he was a baby?" he wondered out loud.

"Uh…" Will looked thoughtful, "I think my godfather dropped me off the side of his ship once after I stole his rum, does that count?"

Elizabeth Turner literally had steam blowing out of her ears at this point.

"You saw my precious son being carried away by these thugs and all you could do was watch?!" The other pirate lords winced as she tore into the unfortunate soul that happened to witness the fate that had befallen her only child.

"I-"

"You have no excuse! I swear, if I don't get my son back I'll have your head decorating the front of my ship! No, that's too kind. If I don't get my son back, you'll spend the next ten thousand years hanging off the bow of the Flying Dutchman!" screeched Elizabeth and those present knew that this was no idle threat. Heck, they didn't even want to know what Will would do to poor sucker that had kidnapped his son once he got his hands on him.

The poor man being interrogated had turned a rather pale shade of white and he simply fainted dead away after hearing the last bit.

Elizabeth simply sighed and she redirected her glare at Capitaine Chevelle, who suddenly found his collar a bit too tight.

"I assume that you'll be able to find out where this Nessuno character will be heading, seeing as this incident happened in your territory." she said in a deadly calm voice.

"Aye!" he squeaked, "I've already had my contacts on the lookout for the Avarice as soon as it docks anywhere on the shores of the Mediterranean!

"You better." She turned her gaze to the man at the end of the table. "Jack!"

"Yes, your Mighty Kingness," said Jack drolly.

"Find Will."

"I love how you always give me the easy jobs," came the sarcastic reply.
