Alaura gasped and said, "But...but why? Lizzy is my best friend! And James...what has he done? He's just returned from his long absence! He should have a welcome back party, not an arrest!" Alaura knew that she probably shouldn't have spoken, but she couldn't help herself. Those were her best friends!

"Apparently they've all been involved with a certain pirate", Beckett said. "This pirate had been wanted for some time and has been allowed to roam free."
"I told you that James Norrington was no good for you", Emily said.

"But...but maybe they were trying to capture the pirate?" Alaura suggested in an attempt to save her friends. "I know James would never be involved in piracy. I beg you, Lord Beckett, please don't arrest him and Lizzy! Please give them a second chance. I'll do anything for that!"

"I am bound by the law, miss von Salmanca", Beckett answered coldly. "Anyone who assists these fugatives will be a fugative themselves. A trial for everyone of these people end in a hanging."

Alaura's eyes widened. She wanted to continue to protest, but knew that would do her no good. After all, she didn't want to upset her future husband already. They barely knew each other! All Alaura could do was stay silent and hope that nobody noticed the tear that slipped out of the corner of her eye.

*Timeskip*
Elizabeth sat in the rain holding her boquet of flowers. Where was Will? Was he going to abandon her? She thought he loved her. She gasped as she heard footsteps behind her. Will was under arrest. Beckett just stood there and watched.
"Laura, what is he doing?" she asked. "What is the meaning of this?"

Alaura watched her friend helplessly. She wasn't sure what to do. She wanted to help Elizabeth, but what could a girl like her do? She didn't even have a say in her own marriage.
Looking nervously over at Beckett, Alaura said cautiously, "You're...you're under arrest because people think you were helping Jack Sparrow. Tell them the truth, Lizzy! Tell them what really happened and they will let you go!"

"I did let him go", Elizabeth said. "He was a friend who saved me and Will."
"You see?" Beckett said. "A fugative associating with pirates. Arrest her."

Alaura frowned. She didn't see why Lizzy couldn't just lie and try to get out of the situation. That would've been what she had done. Maybe Lizzy was just too good for lying. However, where was James?
Watching her friend leave, Alaura turned to Beckett and asked, "Where is James Norrington?"

"He disappeared after resigning some weeks ago", Governor Swann answered.
"Nobody's heard from him", Elizabeth said. "It's like he dropped from the face of the earth."
