To Win the Love of a Pirate
Chapter 1: A Visit to the Swann's
"Abby! Abby, I want to go on a walk!" yelled a young girl with curly red hair.
"A walk; well, if you want to," said the six year olds cousin, Abigail. "Papa is it alright with you if I take Emily on a walk?" she questioned her father, who was reading in an old rocking chair.
"Just be careful," he commented, not even looking up from his book.
Abigail smiled, "We will, don't worry," she said, grabbing Emily's hand.
"Thank you Uncle John!" young Emily shouted as she dragged Abigail out the door.
Abigail was very glad to not be a very light dress with no corset, because she would be positively worn out by now. Emily talked non-stop and pulled her in every direction possible. Although, she did with that she put her golden brown hair up, it was falling in her face and driving her insane. "Emily, you are wearing me out," she commented, running into someone as she was moving her hair out of her eyes. "I'm very sorry I-Oh! Good morning Will!" she said happily.
"Abby, what are you doing out here?" Will questioned, smiling at her.
"Taking my only and dearest cousin on a walk," she said
"Mr. Will" Emily cried, wrapping her arms around his waist.
William Turner laughed, wrapping one of his arms around Emily's shoulder, since the other was holding a long case. "Hello there Miss Emily," he said, smiling down at the girl attached to him.
"What's that? Where are you going Mr. Will?" Emily asked curiously.
"That my dear cousin must be a sword," Abigail said, looking at the case.
"Yes and I am taking it to the Governor's house." Will explained.
"Where Miss Elizabeth lives?" Emily exclaimed, jumping at Abigail," Abby can we go, please, please, please!" she begged, pulling on her cousin's arm.
"If Will doesn't mind us accompanying him." she said, looking to Will for an answer.
"Fine by me," Will said, smiling as Emily jumped up and down.
"Shall we?" Abigail questioned.
"Of course," Will said, holing out his arm to her.
"Why thank you Mr. Turner," Abigail smiled, slipping her hand in the crook of his elbow.
"My pleasure, Miss Riddle," Will commented back.
"Com on, let's go!" yelled Emily, leading the way.

"I've forgotten how much bigger Elizabeth's house is compared to mine." Abigail said, inspecting the grand foyer of the Governors mansion. Will agreed, he was never used to the size. He inspected a candle piece on the wall, but upon touching it, it suddenly ripped right off the wall. Abigail covered her mouth in a gasp while Emily burst out laughing. Will quickly shoves the metal in an umbrella holder just before one of the many butlers of the Swann's household come out of another room.
Abigail began to laugh along with Emily, but the governor caused both of them to stop. "Ah, Mr. Turner! It's good to see you again and Miss Riddle, how are you me dear?" the governor greeted. "Oh, and how could I forget little Miss Emily," Governor Swann said, smiling down at her.
"Good morning Governor Swann," Abigail greeted back.
"Good day sir, I have your order." Will stated, opening the case to reveal a beautifully made sword. The Governor takes it out of its sheath to examine it. "The blade is folded steal, that's gold filigree laid into the handle." Will explained, which caused Abigail to smile slightly, he really did enjoy making swords. "If I may," Will continued, gesturing to the sword, which the governor handed him, which he balanced on his finger." Perfectly balanced, the tang is nearly the full width of the blade," he explains, flipping the sword to present it back to the Governor.
"Impressive, very impressive, Norrington will be very pleased. Do give my compliments on to your master." Governor Swann said.
William looks a little taken back," I shall, a craftsman is always glad to hear that his work is appreciated."
Just then, Elizabeth appeared at the top of the steps. "Elizabeth, you look absolutely stunning," her father complemented as she descended down the stairs.
"Will, Abigail, Emily, so good to see you," Elizabeth said as she approached them. Abigail smiles back, her heart squeezing tight in her chest as she saw the look that Will gave Elizabeth,
'If he would look at me like that just once, I would die a happy woman' Abigail thought to herself, her smile faltering a little.
"I had a dream about you last night." Elizabeth said to Will, causing Abigail to frown slightly.
"About me?" Will questioned in surprise.
"Elizabeth, this is hardly appropriate-" Governor Swann says to his daughter only to be ignored.
"About the day we met. Do you remember?"
"How could I forget, Miss Swann."
"Will, how many times must I ask you to call me Elizabeth"
"At least once more Miss Swann, as always" Will finally states
"You see, at least the boy has a sense of propriety. Now we must get going," Governor Swann tells his daughter, who did not look very happy at all.
"Good day, Mr. Turner," Elizabeth said, striding past Will. "Abigail, Emily." she smiled at the two as she walked out the door behind her father.
Abigail smiles, "Have fun," she says to her best friend.
"Bye Miss Elizabeth," Emily says quietly.
Will walks past both Abigail and Emily, "Good day," he says as he walks down the steps. Adding a quiet "Elizabeth" under his breath.
Abigail feels her heart squeeze once more in her chest, even though she knew his heart belonged to Elizabeth, she didn't think she would ever win her heart back from him.
What do you think? Short I know, hopefully the next chapter will be longer.
