On the shores of Port Royal, a young girl of no more than five years old watched the navy ships fade into the sunset. Her dark curls fell to her shoulders, framing her curious face. Her dark eyes, well beyond her years, reflected a thousand thoughts, wishes and dreams. Raising a small hand, she reached towards the boats, longing. Longing to be part of the sea.
In the village, there was uproar. It was common knowledge the Governor Swann's grandchild had gone missing and with a reward of sixty gold coins, the town was bustling with people of all classes calling the name of the small child.
'She was asleep in her crib, father!' Elizabeth Swann explained through tears, frantic and desperate to hold her small child. 'I was sitting in the garden, writing a letter and I must have left the door open!'
'She's only small, she won't have got far.' said the Governor, trying to be
reassuring. 'Young Will is arranging a group of men to search every inch of Port Royal. We'll find Lou.'
'What if she's hurt?' Elizabeth wept.
'She'll be fine, Elizabeth. We'll find her.'
Meanwhile, the tiny figure of Louise Turner had no idea of the frantic chaos that lay behind her. All she knew was what lay in front of her, the sea. A tiny black dot had appeared on the horizon. She had not seen that ship before.edging forwards, keen for a better look, Lou tumbled forwards into the water. Another child might have cried at finding themselves cold and wet, but on the contrary - she laughed.
'Swimming.' She announced proudly, splashing around.
The tide carried her further in and she giggled with delight, not caring a moment for her wet clothes and hair. She scrambled around, trying to stand but found her feet touched only water. She was out of her depth.
'Oh!' she exclaimed as she found the tide forcing her further out. What had Mummy told her about going too far into the sea?
'Naughty sea!' Scolded Lou crossly as she found herself being pushed further and further away from the bay, fighting the water.
It wasn't long before Lou became sleepy and exhausted from the effort of keeping afloat. Slowly, she slipped into slumber .if she hadn't been so light, she might have drowned - but fate needed Louise Turner. Perhaps that was why she floated on the water, dreaming happily of 'swimming' and boats as she drifted closer and closer to the ship with Black Sails on the Horizon.
