a/n- Why hello PotC fandom. Long time no see! Okay, so if this story looks familiar, it's because I have already posted. I took a ridiculous break from PotC and stopped writing the story so I'm just going to start over. Hopefully it'll be better this time.. lol.

DICLAIMER: I DON'T OWN ANYTHING OF PotC. IT ALL BELONGS TO DISNEY. HOWEVER, ELIEEN IS MY ORIGINAL CHARACTER.

Chapter One.

I sat on the railing of the ship trying to see past the fog, but it was too dense. Hearing my best friend Elizabeth sing about pirates made it all the eerier. "We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot. Drink up me hearties yo ho! Yo ho, yo ho a pirate's life for me…." I wanted to sing along, but I couldn't find my voice. Ever since my mother died I couldn't sing. Especially that song. She suddenly gasped then stopped singing. I turned around to see a man named Mister Gibbs, or simply Gibbs, at her side.

"Quiet, missy! Cursed pirates sail these waters. You don't want to bring them down on us, now, do ya?" The girl, who was only a year younger than I, was still surprised by the man's sudden harshness.

"Mr. Gibbs, that will do," James said walking over to the scene.

"She was singing about pirates! Bad luck to be singing about pirates with us mired in the unnatural fog," Gibbs said, not letting it go.

"Consider them marked. On your way." It'd be hard to imagine that James was only 20 and he already had some kind of power like this.

"Aye, Lieutenant," Gibbs said as he walked off. I turned back around to look at the fog, as if something would change. I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up to see it was James. I looked back to the sea. I still couldn't fathom it.

"You must be getting bored. Only a few more days or so until we reach port," he said. I frowned.

"Not really. I love being out here. I would live on the ocean if I could." I didn't finish my thought. I had just heard the small lecture about pirates that he gave Elizabeth. I didn't want to hear it again.

"Living on the sea is much less luxurious than it seems," he laughed light-heartedly. I smiled at my brother. I was about to say something else, but a sight caught my eye. There was a ship wreckage in flames a few hundred meters.

"Look! A boy! There's a boy in the water!" James ran over to Elizabeth's side to see what she was talking about. I got up and followed. Sure enough there was a boy on a piece of wood unconscious. He couldn't be any more than two years older than myself.

"Man overboard! Man the ropes! Haul him aboard," James yelled. The crew quickly got to work. Within moments the boy was in front of us.

"He's still breathing," James said looking at the boy.

"Mary, mother of God," Gibbs gasped. I looked up to see that he spotted the wreckage.

"What happened here," Governor Swann asked nervously. He was more concerned about the wreckage; not the child. The man who usually kept calm in dangerous situations was letting his fear show. Pirates were his weakness.

"It's most likely the powder magazine. Merchant vessels run heavily armed," James said, lying through his teeth. He could tell that the Governor was starting to get nervous.

"A lot of good it did them. Everyone's thinking it. I'm just saying it: Pirates." I don't know if Gibbs words made me excited or scared.

"T-there's no proof of that. It was probably just an accident," Governor Swann said; probably just to make himself feel better. It didn't work.

"Rouse the Captain immediately! Heave to and take in sail. Launch the boats," James walked off. They were going to look for survivors? I could have just told them that there were no others but this boy. That should have been evident.

"Elizabeth, Eileen, I want you two to accompany the boy. He'll be in your charge. Take care of him," Governor Swann said.

Elizabeth nodded, took my hand, and we both went over to the boy. He was still unconscious. That worried me a bit. She went to brush a piece of hair out of his face. He suddenly woke up and grabbed her wrist. She gasped but was only frightened for a moment. "It's ok. My name's Elizabeth Swann."

"W-W-Will Turner," the boy said. He sounded so weak and so much younger than what he actually was.

"I'm Eileen Norrington, but you can call me Ellie. We're watching over you." Will looked at me for a second before he passed out again. I saw something around his neck. I easily removed the necklace and looked at it. It a skull engraved into it with various other things around it. Even the blind could tell you what is was and what it meant. Elizabeth took it off of me to look at it too. She instantly knew what it was and gasped.

"You're a p-pirate," she whispered looking at Will.

"Has he said anything?" We both quickly turned around to see James. Elizabeth hid the piece of Aztec gold from sight.

"His name is William. William Turner," I said in a shaky voice.

"That's all we found out," Elizabeth agreed.

"They have prepared him a room," he told us. "Take him below." Two sailors came over and easily lifted the boy. "Let him have some rest and check on him again later." He smiled to both of us and walked off.

Elizabeth took out the medallion again when we were alone. "Do you really think he's a pirate," she asked me. I thought for a moment. Before I could say a reassuring answer, the fog separated bringing into view a huge ship with black sails. We both saw it, so I wasn't crazy.

"I think that would be our answer," I said. As quickly as the ship came into view, it was gone. I knew that ship from a pirate book I had gotten from a friend for my twelfth birthday.

"That was the Black Pearl," Elizabeth frantically whispered.

"I know," I said as fear ran through me. The Flying Dutchman was the most fear pirate vessel to ever sail the seas. It was also supposedly not real. I guess the latter fact wasn't true.

"We can never speak a word of this to anyone. They might want to try and hurt Will." My new fear of Will instantly turned into fear for him. He might be a pirate, but then again he was still just a child like Lizzie and I.

"Deal." We both locked our pinkie fingers together for a second before letting go. "Now we need to go and try to hide that necklace."

Well I hope that you all like the first chapter. Please review and let me know how it was! (:
