Disclaimer: I don't own POTC! If I did, there would be a sequel to OST. (I don't know if they're making one) I would not be here writing this fanfic, this would be a movie. The rights go to Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio. I only have rights to my OC's.
My name is Tammy Turner, I have been going to the 'rich kids school'. Well, my mom is not really that rich, but we have money. She was the governors daughter. I thought my life was great, I had two really good friends, I was finally getting noticed by John Groves*, the cutest kid in my year. I got straight 'A's thanks to my tutor, Amy. My life was pretty great, until that fateful day.
I was so exited for another year at Princeton High. I daintily walked down the stairs; just as my mother taught me to, in my school uniform. My mother stopped me saying, "Tammy, you are not going to Princeton."
"What?" I said, "Then where am I going?"
"To a new school called, um, well, I seem to have forgotten the name, but I know exactly where it is." I looked at her in disbelief, it was odd that my mother, the former Elisabeth Swann (now Turner) could ever forget anything, something was up. She turned towards me, really happy. "Tammy, dear, you will LOVE your new school!"
I stared at her in disbelief. My voice started to get high and whiny, "But I love Princeton!"
"Tabitha Nicole Turner, you are going to this new school, and you WILL like it!"
I gasped in shock, mother never yelled at me like that. "Oh Yeah? Well, if I'm going to LOVE it so much, it would be best to know the name!"
She looked at me pleadingly,"Honey, your father would have wanted you to go..." Tears sprang to her eyes. It had been hard on her since my father had gone missing at sea before I was born. Especially since I supposedly look so much like him except for my eyes.
I sighed in defeat, "Fine, But if I do not like it, I am going back to Princeton." I marched to the door, "I am going to tell my friends!"
"Fine, but hurry back." I rolled my dark brown eyes and headed down to the pier.
I walked down to the pier to meet Annalise Starling and Rose Lark, my best friends We meet there to walk to school together, because Rose is a merchant sailors daughter. Annalise was next to the bridge entrance. I didn't see Rose. "Hey where is Rose?"
"She is just running a little late because her sister is ill."
Rose ran up the hill then. "Hello Anna, Tammy."
"Hello, Rose" we said at the same time. We laughed.
Anna was the first to speak, "How is little Abbey?"
"She is doing better. Are you all excited for another year at high school?"
"Yep," Anna cheered.
"I am not going to Princeton," I mumbled.
They stopped walking. I looked back and I could see Anna's green eyes filled with surprise, sadness, and worry. Rose broke the tense silence, "Are you serious!" I nodded.
"Where are you going then?" Anna intoned in a hollow voice.
"I don't know. Mother will not even tell me. She claims she forgot the name." Their eyes were filled with what looked like what I felt when my mother told me that she forgot.
Anna spoke like she totally knew what was going on, "She is hiding something."
"Really Sherlock, How long did it take you to figure that out?" Rose said incredulously, but the playful twinkle in her blue eyes told us that she was teasing. She turned to me, "Maybe she is sending you to a finishing school in England."
I shook my head, my medium length brown hair would have been bouncing around if I did not have it pulled back into a small ponytail, "No, she would never do that, she knows that I love it here."
Rose drew her entire 4'9" frame up and shook her head at me, her blond waves rippling around her head, "You know it more than any of us, if she thinks a finishing school is good for you, she'll send you there."
Anna nodded vigorously next to her, red ringlets bouncing around her face. "You guys are right, I just hope that the school is close."
We walked in silence for a while until the blacksmiths apprentice, Nathaniel Hawkson, stopped us and asked to walk 'Miss Starling" to school. I hugged my friend's 5'10" frame and let her go with Nate. I sighed internally as I watched my best friend escorted to school by the tall black-haired boy. Rose and I continued walking until we reached the school. It was a large chapel-like building. I loved going there, it smelled like old books and history. I would definitely miss it, especially the library. We said our farewells and I walked home through the busiest streets of Port Royal with small steps to avoid my mother.
When I got home, my mother had a box in her hand. It looked like a box that stores put dresses in. She handed it to me and I thought, "It must be a gift to say sorry for earlier."
I took it and she said, "Wear it to school, it will help with fitting in." That should have been my first clue when I opened the box. I did not like it, but I wore it just to make mother happy.
Mother led me down to the docks and went strait to a rowboat and looked at me, "These things are a pain to get into with dresses on. Be glad you wore breeches.
I gaped, "So you made me wear breeches just so I could get in a row boat?" She shook her head, as she rowed out to the bay entrance. I knew that we were going to a ship, but I did not expect it to be a pirate ship.
I looked at my mother, but she did not look surprised. She saw me looking, "Welcome to the Empress." I did not realize that it was time to get on the boat until a rope hit me on the head. "Ow!" I shouted.
My mother leaned over the edge, "Tammy, are you coming, or should we just leave you in the rowboat?"
"I'm coming, I'm coming." I started up the rope to meet the crew of this ship that my mother seems to trust.
