Who am I?
Hello my name is Isabella Lillian Swann. I am the eldest daughter of Weatherby and Lillian Swann and elder sister of Elizabeth Swann. My mother died when Elizabeth was four years old and I was eight years old so Elizabeth doesn't remember her as much as I do. But I tell her about Mother everyday. Elizabeth looks just like Mother with her dark blonde wavy hair, light brown eyes, average hight and weight and her figure. Whereas I don't look like anyone I have long bright red wavy hair and bright blue eyes. I'm tall but not too tall, slim, tanned and have the perfect body. I stand out badly because of my bright red hair and tanned skin but most men love my appearance because of my body.
When I was fourteen and Elizabeth was ten Father moved us from England to Port Royal, Jamaica. On the way there we found a boy, William Turner, in the sea. Around his neck he had a pirate medallion. For some reason I felt a pull to it so I took it. I know it was wrong but I felt like I needed it.
Eight years on William and I have become great friends. Elizabeth and Will both like each other but they can't see it. So it's up to me to bring them together.
"Isabella? Are you decent?" Father called.
"Yes Father. Come in" I yelled.
Father walked in with my maid Marie.
"Your still in bed at this hour? It's a beautiful day" Father said, opening my curtains.
"Yes it seems to be but isn't it always in the Caribbean?" I laughed.
"Well yes" Father laughed.
"Father what's in the box?" I asked courageously, seeing the large box he was holding.
"Oh yes I've got you and Elizabeth new dresses for the soon to be Commodore James Norrington's ceremony. He likes you, you know?" Father smiled happily.
I looked in the box to see a sea blue dress.
"Father it's beautiful thank you" I smiled, hugging him.
I hated dresses and corsets but I loved anything to do with the sea. And sea blue was good enough for me.
I went behind the screen to change. Marie started tying my corset tight.
"Ah" I groaned.
"You didn't forget did you?" he asked.
"How could I Father?" I asked back.
"I'm going to go see your sister now be downstairs as soon as your ready. We don't want to be late" Father smiled, walking away.
"Wouldn't want that" I said sarcastically.
Marie then put my dress on me, tying it up then started on my hair.
"Marie could you please leave it down?" I begged.
"Of course Miss Swann" Marie replied.
"Please call me Isabella or Bella" I reminded her.
She then brushed my hair.
"Here Isabella" Marie said, showing me the mirror.
I looked at myself in the beautiful sea blue dress. My hair went well with the dress. I did have to admit I looked beautiful but I'd much rather be in breachers and a shirt then this dress.
Why couldn't I have been born a pirate?
"Thank you Marie" I smiled at her.
"Have fun Isabella" she smiled back.
I then walked downstairs to see Will Turner.
"Will!" I yelled, running down the rest of the stairs to him.
"Bella" Will smiled, hugging me when I reached him.
"I've missed you Will. I haven't seen you in a while" I smiled sadly.
"I know Bella. I've been busy making the soon to be Commodore Norrington's sword" Will explained.
I then noticed my Father standing by Will.
"Isabella you look absolutely beautiful" Father complimented me.
"Thank you Father. Where is Elizabeth?" I asked him.
"She's just getting ready" he smiled.
As if on cue Lizzie came running downstairs.
"Will! I had a dream about you last night" Lizzie said.
That's my sister.
"About me?" he asked shocked.
"Yes. About the day we met. Don't you remember?" she asked hurt.
"I sure remember. Lizzie and Willy's first crush" I laughed.
They both blushed ignoring me.
"Of course. How could I forget Miss Swann" he said.
"Will, How many times must I tell you to call me Elizabeth?" Lizzie asked annoyed.
"At least once more as always, Miss Swann" Will replied.
"At least the boy has a sense of propriety. Elizabeth, Isabella we must be going now" Father interrupted.
"Goodbye Will" I smiled, hugging him.
"Goodbye Mr Turner" Lizzie said coldly, as we left the house.
"Goodbye Bella. Goodbye Elizabeth" I heard Will say.
We got in the carriage and rode to the fort.
