~Laurel POV~
"Laurel! Laurel, you silly girl, get in here!" the governor yelled. I rolled my eyes. "Coming, master of the universe," I grumbled. I walked down the hall to the dining room, where the fat old bloke (a.k.a. the Governor, my uncle) was sitting and stuffing his face.
"Yes, uncle?" I said in a dainty voice.
"Laurel, I am expecting a visitor a little later on. I need you to greet him for me. I'll be in Elizabeth's room." With that he heaved out of his chair and waddled up the stairs.
"You mean ElizaBITCH," I grumbled after him. That girl was so stuck up. Ugh, I hated her. But she WAS my cousin (unfortunately) so I had to put up with her. Plus I got some pretty neat dresses that didn't fit the little prat that were quite stylish, and I got to live in a mansion. All right, I didn't hate her. I strongly disliked her.
I sighed and walked down the hallway towards the big oak front doors. No sooner had I reached them than I heard the lion's head knocker outside sound. I opened the door and looked right through the man that was standing there.
"Hello, sir," I said boredly. "Welcome to the governor's house. Are you here by appointment?"
"Why, yes. I have the sword that he will be presenting to the commodore later today," a voice said. Like I had told you, I was just ignoring who the person was. I focused my eyes on his face, and my jaw dropped. In front of me stood a tall, very handsome young man. He had a beard and moustache, and fairly long hair pulled back behind his head.
"Ma'am? Are you alright?" he asked.
"Nnnyeahh," I slurred. Good lord, bless his parents. I shook myself out of it. "Please, come in, sir!" I said happily, putting on a more lively tone.
"Thank you." He stepped past me and I closed the door, stopping a moment to smooth down my dress. Ahhh, thank the Lord that Elizabeth outgrew my favorite lavender one.
"The Governor shall be a few moments, sir," I told him.
"That is all right. What is your name?" he asked.
"L-Laurel," I stuttered. "I'm Elizabeth's cousin."
"I am Will Turner. It is nice to mee-"
"LAUREL! SARAH! GET UP HERE!" a woman's voice called angrily.
"Oh lord..." I ran up the stairs. I heard chuckling behind me. I stopped and glared daggers at the man, but I was fighting a smile. I sprinted down the hallway. I had almost reached Elizabeth's room when a door flung open. I crashed right into it, causing my nose a lot of pain.
"Owww!" I groaned, clutching my face. A deep brown-haired head stuck itself around the doorway. "Hullo, did I hit someone?"
"Sarah, you fool! It's me!" I grumbled through my hand.
"Ah! Hello there, Laurel! Where are you off to?" my other cousin Sarah said in a very perky voice. She was my best friend, despite her idiocy. (Just kidding Sarah.)
"Off to do something for Miss Princess of Port Royal, Elizabitch," I said quietly. We both stifled our giggles and walked quickly down the hall.
When we reached Elizabeth's room her father was there, handing her a new dress. "Oh, how lovely! But, Uncle, didn't you just give her one yesterday?" Sarah asked in a sweet little voice. I snorted into my hand.
"Yes, but today is a special day, for her suitor, the Commodore, is being honored for his services."
"Oooh, what fun," I said dryly.
"Yes, it shall be a most exquisite occasion!" the Governor said, not catching on to the sarcasm. Honestly, you'd think that a person with such a high place in the government would at least have a bit of intelligence...
"Sarah, come lace me up, please," Elizabeth said from behind the changing screen. Sarah rolled her eyes and walked back. "Ooh! Ow! Not so tight, you silly girl!" I heard Elizabeth grumble. I barely managed to hide my smile. We would do random mean things to Elizabeth, like put vinegar in her tea, "accidentally" step on her foot, etc. Mostly because it annoyed us how she called us "girls", even though we were a half year older than her.
"Laurel! What are you doing up here! Why are you not waiting down with Mr. Turner?" my uncle barked suddenly. "And why are you covering your nose in such an absurd fashion?"
"Well, for one thing, you told me to come up here, sir," I tried to say calmly, "and I'm covering my nose because SOMEONE smashed it with a door." I heard Sarah let out a "HA!" before she shut up.
"Indeed. Well it was quite rude to leave Mr. Turner down there. Now, move along, keep him company!" he said, and shooed me out the door, slamming it behind me.
I walked downstairs, humming "God Save the Queen" quietly. As I walked through the doorway into the den, I saw Mr. Turner fooling around with one of the sconces on the wall. Suddenly the arm broke off. He looked at it in shock.
"Ahem?" I said with a smile. He spun around with a sheepish look on his face. I grinned. "Here." I took the arm thing and dropped it into a vase. "No one will notice for a while," I assured him, "and I won't tell. It's happened to me, too."
He gave me a grateful smile. "What happened to your nose, Miss Laurel?"
"Erm... a little run-in with a door," I muttered, blushing. (Lame pun intended.) We spoke for the next few minutes while we waited for my uncle.
"And why is it that you are here?" he asked.
"Oh, my cousin Sarah and I just came for a visit. We'll be staying for almost a year." Just then we heard footsteps coming down the stairs. I led him out into the entrance hall as the governor came waddling down the steps. "Ah, Mr. Turner, you're here!"
"Good observation," I mumbled.
I watched with interest as Will showed the Governor the sword he had made. It amazed me how well he could twirl it around, and knew that he was a fine craftsman when he showed that the sword was perfectly balanced.
"Laurel, why don't you go get changed for the ceremony? I bought both you and Sarah a new dress, too," my uncle suggested.
I smiled. "Thank you, Uncle," I said, kissing him on his cheek. All right, so he wasn't that bad, I guess. I turned to Mr. Turner. "It was very nice to meet you."
"And you also, Miss Laurel," he said, kissing my hand. I grinned and walked up the stairs.
When I got to the landing at the top, I walked down a ways until I came to the wall. Then I hid behind it, and watched as Will and my uncle talked.
Suddenly some quiet footsteps were coming down the hall behind me. "Shouldn't you be getting ready?" I looked up and saw the "Princess" coming towards me. I nodded and slowly walked towards my room, but then turned around and spied some more. I noticed how Will ogled as he saw Elizabeth come down in a new cream-colored dress. I rolled my eyes. Sarah was following, wriggling her rear like Elizabeth tended to do when she walked. I bit my lips so I wouldn't laugh. She was wearing her new dress. It was a deep red color with burgundy ribbons; very stylish.
"Hello Will," Elizabeth crooned, walking over to him.
"Good morning, Miss Swann," Will said, bowing. I yawned. Yeah well, you would too. I decided to go get ready.
I walked into my room. I saw that there was a box on my bed, and opened it. Inside was a gorgeous sky blue dress with dark navy blue ribbons trimming it. I called for one of the younger maids, Ashley, who came in and laced up my corset. She was one of the only friends I had made in Port Royal. I cringed as she tightened it up. "Could you make it a bit looser, Ashley, please?" I said over my shoulder. "I can't breathe."
"Oh, sorry Miss Swann," she said, and loosened it. She was a very sweet girl.
"It's quite all right. And call me Laurel, please." She then helped me put my blonde hair up on my head, and curled a few strands that hung down whilst I put on some rouge and eye shadow. I slipped on some dress shoes and thanked her, then walked down the hall.
When I got to the landing, everyone looked up and stared at me. Gosh, it isn't the bloody zoo, I thought. I started walking down the stairs. Unfortunately, I didn't make it all the way down on my feet. My stupid skirt got in the way. I stepped on it and tripped, then rolled ten feet down the stairs. "Oof! Ow! Ack! Ow ow ow ow!" Crash.
Sarah started laughing hysterically while everyone else, except Elizabitch, who was tittering her stupid head off, ran over. "Are you alright, Laurel?" my uncle asked.
"Yes, I'm fine. Thank you." I noticed that Mr. Turner was trying to hide his smile. I glared at him, color rising to my cheeks. He held out his hand and helped me up. I dusted off my dress and tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. "Thank you, Mr. Turner," I said shortly, still very embarrassed.
"Your welcome. And please, call me Will, Miss Swann," he said, still smiling down at me.
"Then call me Laurel, Will," I shot back, grinning. With that my uncle led Elizabeth, Sarah and I out the door.
As I climbed into the carriage, I noticed how Will stared at us. I waved to him, and he waved back. I think I was going to like him.
