Chapter 1

The Dream

It was a foggy day as two girls looked out to the sea. One was older than the other, the older girl went by the name Elizabeth .The younger girl went by the name Anastasia. They both looked out into the fog and sang:

"Drink up, me hearties, yo ho

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.

We extort, we pilfer, we filch, and sack

Drink up-"

They were interrupted when a superstitious sailor put a hand on Elizabeth's shoulder. Making Elizabeth gasp Anastasia just giggled at her reaction. "Quiet misses, cursed pirates sail these waters. You don't want to bring them to us, do you?" Before he could say anything else Norrington came up and said "Mr. Gibbs, that'll do."

"They were singing about pirates" Mr. Gibbs replied. While Norrington told the Elizabeth how bad pirates are, Anastasia wandered away from the group. As Governor Swann was going over to Elizabeth, his daughter. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a boy staring at her. He sees her looking at him and quickly looks away. She smiles to herself and makes her way over to the boy. "Hi what's your name" she asks the boy when she gets there. "Jayson Xander" he replied. "My name is Anastasia Lovely." she says with a smile.

Before they could say anything else they heard Elizabeth shout "Look! A boy! There's a boy in the water!" Everybody except Jayson runs to the side of the boat.

"Man overboard!" Norrington yells. "Man the ropes, fetch a hook. Haul him aboard!" He said to the men to get the boy on board. The girls were startled when they heard Mr. Gibbs exclaim

"Mary, mother of God,"

Everybody looked up and saw what was left of a Merchants ship. It was up in flames as it slowly sinks to the bottom of the sea. "What happened here?" demanded Governor Swann.

"Most likely the powder magazine, merchant vessels run heavily armed." Norrington tried to explain. As parts of the ship fall due to the fire Anastasia begins to wonder if pirates did this.

"I think pirates did this." Anastasia exclaims. "I agree with Anastasia. It has to be pirates."

Governor Swann chuckled. "Pirates? There's no proof of that. It was probably an accident."

"Rouse the captain immediately. Heave to and take in sail. Launch the boats." Norrington orders the crew.

Elizabeth, Anastasia and Governor Swann stood at the map table where the men placed the boy. "Girls, I want you to accompany the boy. He'll be in your charge. Please take care of him." Governor Swann tells the girls as he begins to walk away.

Jayson walks over to the table to see the boy. "Has he done anything yet?" he asks Anastasia. "No, not yet anyways" "oh ok." Elizabeth ran hand through the boy's hair, and jumped when the boy grabbed her hand gasping for air. Anastasia and Jayson jumped and went over to Elizabeth to see what was going on.

"It's ok," Elizabeth tells him "my name is Elizabeth Swann and this is Anastasia Lovely and Jayson Xander"

"Will Turner" the boy replies after a moment. "We're all watching over you, Will." Then Will faints knowing that he was safe. Elizabeth grabs the chain that was hanging around his neck and pulled it. Revealing a gold medallion with a skull engraved on it. Anastasia gasped at the sight of it and whispered in horror "Oh no!" Elizabeth looks up at her in confusion, before she could ask her what was the matter Norrington came by them and asked "Has he said anything?"

Elizabeth turns around quickly hiding the medallion behind her back saying "His name is William Turner. That's all that we found out."

Norrington nods and says "Take him below" The men moved forward doing what they were told to do. Anastasia went towards the side of the boat and saw what she thought she'll ever see again, a ship with tattered black sails.

Anastasia woke up from her dream in a cold sweat. She quickly looks around her room and sighed. The maids aren't here yet. She gets out of her bed and goes to her desk, where on top lays a beautiful necklace with a golden bird hangs from the chain. She quickly put the necklace on and goes back on the bed just as the maids come in.

"What would you like to wear today Miss Lovely?" One of the maids asks as she enters the room. "Surprise me, since I am going to the ceremony today"

Anastasia was wearing an olive green detailed dress with a brown front. Her long light brown hair was pulled back into a tight bun, with her golden necklace around her neck. As she walked down the stairs she saw Will and Jayson standing in the room, she guessed that they were waiting for Governor Swann her best friend's father.

Just as she got there Governor Swann came to inspect the sword that Will and Jayson made for Norrington's promotion ceremony.

"Elizabeth, you look absolutely stunning." Governor Swann told his daughter as she descended the stairs. "Will!" Elizabeth calls happily. "It's so good to see you! I had a dream about you last night." she announces. "About me?" he asked in surprise, while Governor Swann didn't look pleased at all.

"Yes, but is that entirely for you to-"Governor Swann tried to say before she cut him off saying

"About the day we met, do you remember?" It seemed to Anastasia that both she and Elizabeth had the same dream, weird.

"How could I forget, Miss Swann?" Will replies "Will, how many times must I ask you to call me Elizabeth?" Elizabeth asks Will. "At least once more, Miss Swann, as always." Elizabeth's face fell at his answer. "There, you see? At least the boy has a sense of propriety." Governor Swann told his daughter. "We really must be going.

Elizabeth looks up at Will with a displeased look saying "Good day Mr. Turner, come on Ana let's go to the carriage." Elizabeth tells Anastasia as she pulls her away. "Good bye, Will!" Ana calls to Will with a wave. "Don't worry Lizzie you'll get him soon" Anastasia told Elizabeth when they go into the carriage.
