Sorry there isn't much pirateynuss but I had to introduce my character. I promise in the next chapter that jack will come in. anyhow enjoy.

Chapter 1 meet Katie Prune

Katie sat watching everyone talking and dancing. She was at one of her father's pointless dinner parties. Katie Prune, Governor Matthew Prune's daughter, hated the life she had. She longed for adventure and well anything to do with life outside of rich parties, and dresses. Oh and everything that came with being the daughter of a highly respected man. A cough brought Katie out of her thoughts, as she looked up she saw Gorge Johnson, a 50 year old Captain, who couldn't get himself promoted and had had 3 wives all of a very young age.

"Miss Prune" Katie shudder at her 'formal' name. She hated her last name oh how she longed she could change it without marrying an old man, or just to go without a last name at all! "I was wondering if I could have this dance"

"Well actually I can't really dance because because" Katie was desperately trying to think of an excuse to not dance with him. She hated being near him, although she would never tell him, she had that many manners, he really smelled! Luckily or unluckily as Katie was near to finding out, her farther called the attention of the room towards him ** grate he's about to make another one of his speeches. I've heard them all before blah blah thanks for coming blah blah hope you all enjoy the evening it just goes on ** only when her farther said something about her did she start to pay attention

"And I am delighted to inform you all that my Daughter Katie has accepted Captain Johnson's proposal, and they are to be married in the near future. If you would all raise you glasses..." Katie was now frantic. When had she supposedly had this proposal, and if she had had it she sure as hell wouldn't of said yes. She hated him. As Katie's father's speech came to an end she rushed over to him, pulling him out side looking him straight in the eye

"Farther what on earth is going on? I never got asked to marry Captain Johnson and if I had I certainly wouldn't of said yes."

"Katie darling slow down. You will marry Captain Johnson; you will not bring shame upon our family by refusing to wed him. He needs a new wife, due to his 3rd wife tragically dying; he is left with a tiny baby without a mother. And his 3 other children need a mother to. Don't worry darling I'm sure you will be fantastic. And if you do refuse, then I will disown you. We have been through all of this before!"

He was right, about 5 years ago she told him how she really felt about everything. When she was little she had been his pride and joy. Well that was before she grew up. When she got to about 13 he stopped treating her like his little girl, said 'she had to grow up'. But when she was 14 she still had false hope that he loved her like he used to, would listen to her and understand. Only it didn't happen like that. When she had told him she wanted to leave when she was older, go find an adventure and have some fun, get away from the rich snobs that are in the little port town and be aloud to roam about in breeches and a shirt, he hit the roof. Said if she did that then when she came back after her little 'adventure' she would no longer have a home or family as he would disown her. He also made it perfectly clear that if she did anything against what he saw was 'proper' or would bring shame upon the family he would also disown her and kick her out of their home. So she decided that the best thing to do would leave her dreams as just that... dreams. But this was her thought up till now. Because there was no way that she was marrying who they wanted her to, and because if she did she wouldn't live at home anyway she decided the best thing to do would go ahead with her dreams. I mean its not as if she has ever had a life here is it?!

"Farther if you are going to disown me at least make it for a good reason. I wouldn't mind marrying a younger man, one that is loyal and hasn't had 3 wives die in child birth, but I am very sorry, I will not kill myself for that man, I do not love him so my life would be pointless." Katie waited for her farther reply to her little outburst. She was expecting her farther to be angry telling her, no matter what she wanted she had to marry Johnson. But the reply she got wasn't what she expected.

"Kate honey, I understand this isn't what you expected and honestly this isn't what I wanted for my little girl ether. But my hands are tied, he wished to marry you and well he pressured me into it, by telling everyone I consented. I had no idea he hadn't asked you, until you came rushing over, almost in tears. But now everyone no's just try to keep a happy face, and you never no something may come up saving you from this marriage. But it will have to be soon."

Katie just looked at her farther unable to take in what he had just told her. She mumbled something about taking a walk before rushing off into the darkness in the way of the docks. It was quit late at night so no one was around. Katie wandered around for a bit, until she reached the edge of the docks. She stopped and looked at the water. While she was watching, she was lost in her own world only to be snapped out of her daze by hand being clasped over her mouth...

A/N sorry it's a little short, if this chapter gets good reviews or even just reviews (hint hint) ill try to make the next one longer, though I cant promise anything. Sorry if I got the rating wrong, but I wasn't sure what to put it as. If you have any suggestions please tell me, as I'm open to all ideas ( thanks.
