Chapter 1 of Seas of Desire

Hey all I hope you like this new story please review and tell me what you think!

Disclaimer: I own nothing that belongs to the Disney franchise of Pirates of the Caribbean. I only own Mary.

I walked silently out onto the deck of the Black Pearl, I loved how the ocean felt when it was calm and there wasn't any pirates yelling commands on the deck. The Caribbean wind was thick and warm. The breeze quickly caught my white dress and wrapped it around my legs forming it to the contours of my body. The wind blew back my chocolate curls. I loved the feel of the high gusts of wind it calmed me and comforted me.

I had come to the Pearl when I was 15 and I was now 20 and a seasoned pirate. Although Captain Sparrow never let me participate in any raids; or any piracy for that matter. He said he didn't want to tarnish my name by having my name associated with a raid. Captain Sparrow was a nice man; but he was very misunderstood.

I was a good pirate and I had learned many things from my friends onboard. I was an excellent swordsman, a great knot tier, and I was good at many other things. But the whole concept of following orders seemed to elude me. I am a humble and quite person but when it came to being directly told to do something I would put it off until the last second. This usually got me in trouble with the First Mate or sometimes even the Captain.

I heard footsteps coming up to me from behind. I knew these footsteps well. The almost limp gave him away easily. Joshamee Gibbs was one of my best friends and one of the only people onboard I had ever had a true conversation with. I was shy and alone in the world. I felt like an alien in this pirate's world.

"Why hello there my princess; how do you fair this night?" Gibbs said light heartily

Gibbs has called me "my princess" since I had first come to this ship. He called me this because he was a catholic. He held the Virgin Mary in very high esteem. Since The Blessed Mary was the Queen of heaven he called me the Princess of Heaven. He thought I was just as lovely as Virgin Mary.

"Hello Gibbs I am fine. How are you?" I said quietly

"Well I am great I just had me self some rum and I'm all happy now!" He laughed a deep bellow.

"I'm glad to hear that. Why are you up this late?" I asked

"Oh I heard you walking up here so I thought I'd come chat with ya!" he laughed

"Well you know that I'm always up here at night. It's the only time I can think." I sighed.

I missed my family and my life. I had lived in Port Royal and was the daughter of a knight; a very wealthy one at that. I was very good friends with the Governor's daughter, Elizabeth. I was strong and a very sought after girl. I was arrogant and yet loftily. But that had all gone away with that fateful night. My arrogance told me that I could walk home from Elizabeth's house in the middle of a raid. I never saw my home or Elizabeth after that night and that was 5 years ago. The night the Pearl had raided Port Royal a second time I been tied to a pole in the lower decks so I could not escape. That was when the pirates did not trust me as one of their own as they do now.

"Yes it is a quite nice place to come think." this time it was not Gibbs' voice that spoke but a voice so smooth and lush that I only assumed that she was hearing things. I turned to see a tall muscular man walking towards me and Gibbs. The man had dark brown hair and deep brown orbs for eyes. His stature was worthy and proud. He looked like a man from head to toe. I had never seen this pirate before on my 5 years at sea.

"Welcome my boy Will!" Gibbs said loudly; perhaps a little too loudly.

"Hello Gibbs and my fair maiden." The man, I assumed was called Will, said. Will gave me a peck on the hand and gazed into my eyes while doing so. I blushed crimson red. This man was handsome not doubt about that.

"I do not believe we have met. I am Mary Leas. In my years on this ship I haven't met you." I said

"Ah! A woman of Devonshire your name and accent gives it away. And such a pity I have not met you." Will said while gazing out at the sea

"Devonshire? I am from Port Royal my good sir." I was confused by this man's accusation.

I had lived in Port Royal for 5years and before that we had lived in London. I had only visited Devonshire once to visit my mother's friend Georgina, The Duchess of Devonshire. My family was noble but very low nobility. I think my dad was a knight or something. This only gave me the title of Dame or Lady whichever I choose. I chose to simply be Mary no title attached. Very few people know that I am even the daughter of a knight. Elizabeth was one of the few.

"I am sorry Sir I have never lived in Devonshire. I am from London. I don't think I caught your name good sir." I said this diplomat like; as a good young lady would.

"I am sorry Milady; my name is William Turner Jr. I am 21 and i lived in Port Royal until I was 18 then I came aboard the Pearl. What is your story?" by this time Gibbs had left and this left William and I on the deck alone. I turned to look him in the eyes while I told him my edited story.

"Well Mr. Turner-"

"Please call me Will."

"Ok Will. I was born in London I came over to Port Royal when I was 10. I lived there until I was 15. That was the year I was captured by the pirates and brought aboard this vessel. I have been here ever since." I told him this in one long breathe. I was ready to faint when I was done. There was something about this man that made me lightheaded.

"That's interesting. Well Milady it is getting late. I bide you adu. Good night." he turned to leave when I suddenly felt compelled to talk to him again.

"Wait Will..." he turned and looked at me. I remembered that I didn't have anything to say.

"Uhhh... It was nice speaking to you. And please call me Mary." he came up to me and kissed me on the cheek. I wasn't ready for this act of affection. His lips felt soft and warm on my cheek. I probably blush bright red. I couldn't help it; I was infatuated with this man.

"Have a lovely evening Mary. I hope to see you again." he said with a sexy voice.

I basically flew back to my room. I was entranced by this wonderful man called Will. He was everything I wanted in a man: strong, confident, humors, happy, and handsome. I wanted desperately to see him again but instead I went over to my bed in the small enclosed area I called home. I laid down on my small bed and fell in to a deep sleep.
