Andromeda Swann: POTC

Crossing to England

Andromeda's POV

Mum died a few weeks ago and now dad is moving us to Port Royal. Elizabeth is dressing like me again. Not that I mind, I love my little sister. But since she looks up to me so much, I've done my best to be the best roll model I can be for her. However, we both love pirate stories and I've been teaching her a pirate song.

"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me, we pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot. Drink up me 'earties, yo ho. We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot. Drink up me 'earties, yo ho" Elizabeth sings.

"Very good Elizabeth, lets sing together now" I tell her smiling. She nods her head and we take a deep breath before singing.

"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me. We extort and pilfer, we filch and sack. Drink..." we sing when someone places their hands on our shoulders. We gasp and turn to Mister Gibbs standing there.

"Quiet missies, cursed pirates sail these waters. You don't want to bring them down upon us, do you?" he asks.

"Mister Gibbs that will do" Lieutenant Norrington states as he appears with Father. I smile at him as Gibbs said something about us singing about pirates. Dad gives me a disapproving look and I lower my head. "Consider them marked. on your way" Norrington tells Mr Gibbs.

"Aye Lieutenant, bad luck to have women aboard to even miniature ones" Gibbs mumbles as he takes a drink from his canteen.

"I think it'd be rather exciting to meet a pirate" Elizabeth states.

"Elizabeth" I scold her gently. Since mum died I became a second mum to Elizabeth as well as her older sister. But if she doesn't be quite I'll be in trouble with our father.

"Think again Miss Swann, violate dissolute creatures the lot of them. I intend to see to it that any man sailing under a pirate flag or wearing a pirate brand gets what they deserve. A short drop and sudden stop" Norrington tells her. Elizabeth looks at Mr Gibbs who mimes being hanged and she gasps. I wrap my arm around her shoulders.

"Lieutenant Norrington, I appreciate your dedication. But I am concerned about the effect this subject will have on my daughters" dad tells him.

"My apologies Governor Swann" Norrington says before leaving us.

"Actually I find them fascinating" Elizabeth tells father and I groan in annoyance. Is she trying to get me grounded.

"Yes that what's concerns me, Andromeda may I have a word?" he asks. I nod my head taking his arm as he leads me away from Elizabeth. "I thought I told you to stop telling her pirate stories? Now you're singing pirate songs with her" he scolds me gently.

"I'm sorry father, it's just she loves that song and I hate to upset her by saying no more pirate stories" I tell him.

"A boy, there's a boy in the water!" Elizabeth shouts and I turn see her pointing to the water. I run over to her and pull her away from the edge. Norrington was giving orders for the boy to be brought aboard. Gibbs pulled the boy aboard and laid him down as the crew gathered around him.

"Mary mother of god" Gibbs says and we turn to see a destroyed ship in flames. Everyone start suggesting what might have happened to the ship. "Everyone's thinking it, I'm just saying it pirate" Gibbs states.

"No proof of that, it was probably an accident" Dad states. I notice Elizabeth not at my side and turn to see her looking at the unconscious boy. I walk over to hear him say his name was Will Turner before he passed out again. I notice the medallion around his neck and take it off for a better look.

"You're pirate" I whisper looking at him.

"Has he said anything?" Norrington asks from behind us. We turn and I hide the necklace behind me.

"He's name is William Turner, that's all we found out" Elizabeth tells him.

"Take him below" Norrington tells one of the sailors.

"Andromeda, Elizabeth I want you to watch over the boy. He'll be in you charge, take care of him" dad tells us. We agree and go below deck while Norrington lead a search party to the wrecked ship looking for more survivors.
