"So that's all the supplies, you need for your return trip," the store merchant

"Thank you,"

Commodore Norrington walked back to his room, it had been a tiring day especially, when having a horrible head cold, he just needed some tea and he would be as good as new. He was so light headed; he just had to sit down.

"Sir are you alright?" the maid rush toward him

"Yes," he said gruffly

He tried to stand up, but immediately sat bad down he was unable to even stand.

"Sir I really think you should lie down and rest,"

"No, No I'm fine I must carry on with the rest of my duties,"

Once again he tried to stand up with no success

"Sir, I do believe that--,"

"I'll lie down,"

"Very well sir I'll fix up a cup of tea, the I'll inform--,"

"Just inform my crew,"

He looked up to asked the maid to bring his tea with cream, but stopped as he saw the stare of the beautiful blue-green eyes of the maid. She look down and bushed

"I'll do that sir,"

She had returned in fifteen minutes with a cup of tea, he remembered

"Your crew has been informed,"

"Thank you,"

"Commodore Norrington,"

"Commodore Norrington,"

Suddenly snapped back to reality

"Yes ?"

"Commodore Norrington I do believe that there is a storm coming,"

"I know, please see that my Fiancé stays in her cabin,"

"Yes sir, right away sir,"

Ah Marie his fiancé, a beautiful fair women of England. He had met her when he was in England for Governor Swann. I must have been love at first sight for he had felt this feeling when they had made eye contact. She was his maid at the house he was staying out but still he had loved her despite that flaw. It wasn't a flaw really but, another attribute to her complex personality.

"Miss, Commodore Norrington would like you to stay in the cabin,"

"And why would that be?" The women asked coolly

"A storm coming Miss,"

"I Will my Fiancé be captaining then?"

"Yes Miss, I do believe so Miss,"

James Norrington entered his cabin. He noticed Marie Looking out the window in their cabin.

"James Please don't captain the ship if there's a horrible storm coming,"

"Marie, You know I have to if we want to be on time,"

"James they'll understand anchor the ship tonight,"

"Marie you know I can't,"

"I know for a fact that you can,"

"Marie—,"

"James just go,"

A storm was ranging outside of Marie and James' cabin.

"James!" She shrieked looking for her Fiancé

She Ran towards her Fiancé, lighting struck the mast a to the main deck and fire quickly spread down to the rope binding the sails to the mast. The sail plummeted downwards, nearing the deck. James Norrington did not see them coming and soon he was hit and knocked unconscious. Marie was being surround by flames, slowly everything went dark and foggy until she collapsed on to the deck.

Many things were broken, the ship had drifted in to a reef on one side, and the fire had burned most everything during the night and wasn't extinguished till early morning rain. By dawn, smoke could still be seen.
