A pirates of the Caribbean love story with a twist.1

Your point of view:

You and Elizabeth were stood at the prow of the ship, in your matching dresses. Hers was light blue and yours was a very light golden colour. Elizabeth began singing again. Someone put a hand on each of your shoulders and you turned around sacred. But it was only Gibbs. “Quiet Missy! Pirates sail these waters, you don’t want to be bringing them down n us now do you?” you stood still and scared. You heard footsteps, but it was only Norrington walking up to you.

“Mr Gibbs! That will do.” He said. Gibbs left the two of you.

“She was singing about pirates. Bad luck to be singing about pirates in this unnatural fog, you mark my words.” Norrington did not look impressed.

“Consider them marked.” He said. “On your way.” He said dismissing him.

“Aye lieutenant.” He said walking around the two of you. “Bad luck to have a woman on board too. Even miniature ones.” He muttered so you could all hear. You scowled.

“I think it would be rather exciting to meet a pirate.” Stated Elizabeth.

“Lizzie.” You said shocked Norrington smiled.

“Think again miss Swann.” He said walking forward. “Violent dissolute creatures the lot of them. I intend to see to it that any ma that sails under a pirate flag or wears a pirate brand gets what he deserves. A short drop and a sudden stop.” You both looked enquiringly at Gibbs who mimed hanging. Fortunately your uncle came to the rescue.

“Lieutenant I appreciate your idea but umm I’m concerned about the affect that this subject might have upon the girls.” Norrington walked away.

“My apologies governor Swann.”

“Actually I find it all fascinating.” She said and you put your head in your hands. Your uncle looked worried.

“Yes that’s what concerns me.” He said turning. You both saw something in the water and followed its course along the edge of the ship, it was an umbrella. You saw something else, it was a raft, and on it were two boys.

“Look, there boys, there’s two boys in the water!” Elizabeth shouted pointing.

“Man over board.” Shouted Norrington jumping onto the edge holding the rigging. They got the boys out of the water and laid them down. “Their still breathing.”

“Mary mother of god.” Said Gibbs. Everyone rushed over; you covered your mouth when you saw the horrendous sight in front of your eyes. It was a burning ship.

“What happened here?” Said your shocked uncle.

“Probably the powder caught fire…” said Norrington but you did not catch the rest you were too busy staring at the ship.

“A lot of good it did them.” He looked at Norrington. “Everyone’s thinking it I’m just saying it. Pirates.” You uncle chuckled at the remark.

“There’s no proof of that, it was probably an accident.” Meanwhile you and Elizabeth were walking over to the boys.

“Rouse the captain immediately.” Said Norrington.

“Aye sir.”

“Heave too and take in sail launch the boats.” He ordered. You uncle stood between you and Elizabeth. “Elizabeth, Victoria, I want the two of you to accompany the boys. They’ll be in your charge. Take care of them.” He told you, and the two of you followed the sailors carrying them. They lay there under blankets cold. As Elizabeth went to brush ones hair out of his face he woke up suddenly and grabbed her hand.

“Its ok our names are Elizabeth and Victoria Swann.”

“Will Turner.” He responded.

“I’m watching over you Will.” She told him smiling. And he fell asleep. She picked up a necklace, the same time as you noticed the other had one as well. It was gold with a skull on it. “You’re a pirate?” you both said shocked.

“Has he said anything?’ asked Norrington sharply. She turned and hid the chain.

“His name is William Turner, that’s all I found out. We don’t know about the other.”

“Take them below.” He ordered walking away. You walked back to the bows and stood looking at the necklaces you had hid. Off in the distance you saw a pirate ship with jet-black sails slowly heading away.
