The Pirate Inside of Me

Where am I?

"Miss? Miss are you alright? Miss?" A voice so soft and sweet called to me. I woke up panting looking around at my surroundings. 

"Wh-Where am I?" I stutter softly. The girl had dark brown hair and was very fine looking and was about my age. She smiles and welcomes me.

"Well, you are in Port Royal. My name is Elizabeth Swann. I am the governor's daughter." I nod and bring my legs to my chest biting my lip and looking around. I see lots of bustling streets and markets around me. The girl stands up and offers her hand to stand me up. I hesitate before taking it and hoisting myself up. I tried walking but I nearly fell back down. The girl, er, Elizabeth, quickly helps me back up. I tried again and this time, I started walking around. 

"What's your name, miss?" She asks as she guides me through the busy city. 

"Oh, Carina. Carina Smyth." I say remembering that was what my parents called me. 

"Well it is a pleasure to meet you Carina." She stops and looks down at my clothes and the scar on my arm. A face of worry expands on her face. 

"We can get that treated for you." She says not taking her eyes off of my scar. 

"That's ok. It has been there since last night. I am sure it will be fine." She nods and continues to walk me through the place. Finally we stop at a mansion. A gasp manages to leave my mouth and I quickly wished it hadn't. I started to blush as Elizabeth giggled. 

"I am sorry, It's just, I have never been to a governor's house before." I admit. It is true. My family is was very poor. 

"It is ok, I understand. Here, let me show you to my room." She led me up the winding staircase. The most luxurious things here were neatly placed along the window sill and beautiful paintings of women and men caught my attention. One was of Elizabeth, the governor and it seemed like another women. Looks just like Elizabeth. Elizabeth stared sadly at the painting then motioned me to follow. 

"Father? I have arrived home! I have to talk to you. Where are you?" Elizabeth calls down the hall. An older man comes out from behind his desk to welcome his daughter home.

"Ah, Elizabeth. You're home! I have some very important news for you. We found a boy in the water yesterday night. Covered in ash and soot. He will be in your charge." He pauses, then looks up at me. 

"And who may you be, young lady?" The governor asks, looking up and down my ruined gown. 

"Father, this is Carina Smyth. I as well found her on the beach this morning. No evidence on what vessel she came from." Elizabeth spoke abruptly. I gave a small wave to the governor who smiled back. 

"Well, take care of Carina, while I find a suitable home for the boy." The governor instructed. 

"Yes, father." Elizabeth showed me to the bathroom and gave me a cream colored gown that soft to the touch, with light pink lace embedded into the arms. I look into to Elizabeth's eyes.

"Thank you, Miss Swann." She smiles.

"You are always welcome." She answers warmly.
