A/N: Hey! Another Liam Turner story—I haven't posted my William Turner III story but this one is slightly AU. It's pretty much what the summary says!
SINGAPORE
Liam Turner stared up at the ceiling. His eyes wandered to the window where the sun was starting to rise. However, from experience of living in Singapore since he was five, Liam knew that the sunlight would not reach the pirate port. Singapore had a constant gloomy atmosphere. From the opposite bunk, Liam heard his friend Calder snoring loudly. The straw that they were sleeping on scratched against Liam's back but the boy didn't squirm. He had got used to it, knowing that some other children his age had it much worse.
Liam had been originally born in Port Royal. He had sailed with his mother and godfather around the Caribbean Ocean. Unfortunately, when Liam was four, a pirate named Long John Walker had made a deal with the Lords of the Caribbean. The deal was that if Walker helped the Lords bring down the pirates of the Caribbean, he could rule the seas. Liam's mother, Elizabeth, was pirate King, meaning she had unwillingly left Liam to fight with the rest of the pirates. Liam's godfather, Jack Sparrow, was a extremely famous pirate who had also left Liam to fight, alongside many arch-enemies who all had been forced to join forces to protect their waters. Until the age of six, Liam had traveled with another captain, Barbossa, to try and find his father who had been doomed to the fate of ferrying souls to Davy Jones' locker until Liam was ten. However, Barbossa didn't have the map to World's End so they only got as close as possible to the horizon. To stay protected from the Lords and from Walker, Liam and Calder had both been sent to one of the ports that the Lords had not conquered—Tortuga. However, when Liam turned seven, Tortuga was attacked and in the chaos, Liam and Calder were smuggled out on a ship to one of the two remaining safe ports: Singapore. The only other one left was Shipwreck Cove which was where Elizabeth, Jack and Barbossa were supposed to be. Liam desperately wanted to go there but pirates were the only ones who knew the way there and all pirates were there already.
As Liam thought back to all this, there was a loud shout and Liam recognised it as the 'Get up!' yell. He swung his legs out of bed and threw a pillow at Calder's face. Calder gave a groan, turning onto his side. 'But it's Saturday, Liam!'
Liam chuckled. 'Did ever make any difference?' He left his friend to wake up and pulled a shirt over his head. Suddenly, there was a crash from outside the cabin and Liam exchanged a worried look with Calder.
'Liam, Calder, lari!'
From a year of living in the port, Liam knew lari meant run! Liam grabbed the money that he had been given as payment for the month and stuffed it into his bag. Then, he found the chest his mother had ordered him to keep safe and carefully placed it in the bag as well. 'Let's go,' he said, turning to Calder. 'All we can do now, is go to Shipwreck Cove.'
Calder slapped his head. 'Liam, we don't know how to get there!'
The door banged open and a teenager, Kuan, hurried in. He gave Liam a rolled up parchment that was tied with a piece of string. 'Shipwreck Cove is only safe place for you now,' he said with his strong accent. 'This is how you go there. Hurry! If they find you escaped you is condemned to hanging!'
Liam took the parchment and gave Kuan a grateful look. 'Come on, Cal,' he said, pulling his friend out the door. The two boys ran through the port, over the bridges and under the buildings to get to the back docks that were hidden. Several times, they had to stop to avoid being caught. Suddenly, Calder grabbed Liam's arm. 'Check it out! A pirate ship! Let's go, it must be heading to Shipwreck Cove!'
Liam nodded and the two grabbed a rope, climbed onto the ship and snuck into the hold. Liam sat down on the moss covered floor. 'Now what?' he asked, putting his bag down beside him. Calder glanced over at him. 'Now, we wait.'
A/N: Can you guess who's ship it is?
