All righty then, I am just editing this, and re-doing it a little because there are some mistakes that just IRK me, so here is the redone version. And to get rid of some of these not needed commas! I AM COMMA HAPPY!
Just for the record, I am replacing them one chapter at a time. So yea…maybe more if I feel really inclined to do so.

Ok so here is the thing, I saw pirates of the Caribbean and I absolutely loved it and I have to now write my only little version of it like every other crazed fan is doing. I hope this doesn't come off too Mary-Sue-ish. I love all of my fans and now I will tell you a little about this story
Writer: Me, Mel AKA The Second Geek, friend of First of the Geeks (who is a phenomenal 12-year-old writer. I highly suggest that you read her newer one entitled 'Flying High'
Why: I was thinking about it last night how I really wanted to write a POTC story but I just couldn't get something going, and then my Muse Orlando Bloom came and all was well.
Characters: Kathryn Anderson-17 year old who lives with Will as his "little sister" not related though. Jack Sparrow-does this man need any explanation? I think not. Will Turner-yea same as Jack. Elizabeth- well you know her too I guess. Everyone else just follows same as the movie.
Plot: well there is this girl, Kathryn who is in love with Will (who wouldn't be) but Will only regards her as a little sister (if you notice he does big brother things such as kisses her on the cheek on his way out and tell her to be careful). Kathryn knows that Will is in love with Elizabeth and secretly she wishes that Elizabeth would just marry and move away. But she knows that Will would be Heartbroken.
This basically follows the movie, with Kathryn in it you know of course it will change because she is there. But hopefully it won't that much.
************************************************************************************
"Now let me ask you one question," Will says as he dodges my sword, "If you feel like you love this man," he grunts as he dodges my sword again this time only inches from his head, "then perhaps you should just tell him?"
Of course for him it was easy to say, but he didn't know was that it was HIM I was in love with. "Well then," I reply letting my sword drop to my side, "Why wont you tell Elizabeth if it is so easy?''
Will drops his arms to his side and sighs; I knew I had hit a soft spot. "Sorry." I whisper blushing a little. Will paused, then looked at me.
"Oh, it's all right. I mean you are right I guess, if one doesn't have the courage to tell someone they love them then I guess they can't."
I look at Will and see that even though he says it's all right, he knows that it's not and that his time for Elizabeth was running out. However I did not mind. I wanted Elizabeth to marry some rich man from England and move her there so I could be with Will.
But I knew if that happened, Will wouldn't ever be the same.
I had known William Turner for most of my 17 years on this earth, well since I was 10 I think. Will had to have been 17 at the time actually. I was watching him bang on a horseshoe it looked like great fun actually. I watched him for a while; the rhythm of the banging had me transfixed. When I finally looked up to see who was doing this, I saw his eyes and that's all I could see. Even at the age of 10 I knew that his eyes had been through a lot. Someone had once told me I was wise beyond my years, and that you could see it in my eyes. I didn't know what that meant until I saw him. I started making excuses to go out on errands that would lead me down by the Blacksmith's where I would watch him for hours in the ally way. My parents never minded as long I was back before dark, which I loved because it meant I could watch him all day and no one would mind. I started to soak things in, in one month I had learned to make a horseshoe, just from watching him. He was fun to watch everyday he would greet people with a smile. One day he found me.
"Hello, what is your name?" he asked taking my hand and leading me out of the ally.
"Kathryn" I replied in a small shy voice. I was embarrassed because he had seen me watching him.
"Well Kathryn I am Will, now why were you hiding in the ally?" he asked looking down at me with his big brown eyes.
"I wasn't hiding," I said sticking my nose in the air. "I was, um, I was looking at you."
"Really?" he questioned. "And why is that?'
"Because," I replied "I have decided I want to become a backsmith" At this Will threw his head back and laughed from deep in his chest. "What's so funny?" I ask tears welling up in my eyes.
"Oh no! Don't cry, it's just- the word is BLACKsmith." He said still chuckling.
"Oh," I replied embarrassed.
"Come on then," he said scooping me up in his arms, "I will teach you how to be a backsmith."
And he did, I spent my days there, and learned how to air a fire, make a real horseshoe, and do normal dirty, blacksmith things those other girls my age would sneer at. Will let me watch him make swords, and while he practiced with them. That's when I started to learn how to fight. I learned to trust Will with everything I had to say. He was always there to talk to, he would always listen, and he would always have something to say in return. He was like the Older Brother I never had.
I was 12 when my parents died.
It was the fever. A miracle, some say, that I survived. I guess I was never around them enough to catch it.
When I heard the news I ran straight for Will's waiting arms. I stayed there for three hours crying my 12-year-old eyes out. The whole time he just rocked me and stroked my head.
When I had no ware to go afterwards and was being threatened to live on the street, Will made a deal with Mr. Brown and let me live with him at the Blacksmith shop.
Will started letting me practice sword fighting with him when he woke up to me at three in the morning to find me stabbing a straw sack when I was 15. "Your step is off" he said startling me.
"Ah!" I gasped. I looked at him. He was looking down at my feet with a serious look on his face. "Well then like this?" I try the move again.
"No, like this" he says wrapping his arms around me and his hands around the hilt of the sword.
I think it was this moment I realized that I loved him.

Alright, the next updated chapter should be this weekend, I hope that I will get a few going actually.
