Hey everyone! I am on a Johnny Depp kick. Just cannot get enough of him! So I decided I would start this story, while I am incredibly obsessed with POTC. I do not own any of the characters or plot. I do, however, own Alexandra Gibbs. I got my inspiration for my character of Alexandra from the actress Aishwarya Rai, and the V.S. model Miranda Kerr. So while reading picture one of them =]

enjoy and please review! a writer always likes to know their work is appreciated

XOXO Cuteepiee1

The ship was sailing smoothly through the incredible fog. I was standing next to Elizabeth Swann. We were on our way to Port Royal from London. Lizzie was singing softly, adding to the eeriness of the fog.

"Drink up, me hearties, Yo Ho. Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me…"

"Lizzie you probably shouldn't sing about pirates. What if some catch up to us?" nervous could not even begin to explain the emotion I was feeling at the moment.

She smiled lightly and turned to me, "Alex, everything will be fine, it is just a song, how much harm can come from it?", turning back she began singing once more and this time I joined her

"We extort, we pilfer, we filch and sack. Drink up-" She was cut off as a hand grabbed her shoulder turning her around, I turned with her.

"Father!" I shouted in surprise.

My father, Joshamee Gibbs, was a very superstitious man. Me singing about pirates was not going to go over well with him.

He started speaking to Elizabeth first "Quiet Missy," then turned to me, "You as well Alexandra," looking at both of us he continued, "Cursed pirates sail these waters. You don't want to bring them down on us, now, do you?"

Frantically I started shaking my head. Another voice came from behind my father.

"Mr. Gibbs, That will do." Lieutenant Norrington said very sternly.

"She was singing about pirates. It's bad luck to be singing about pirates with us mired in this unnatural fog. Mark my words."

"Consider them marked. On your way."

"Aye, Lieutenant." My father walked away, leaving us with the Lieutenant and Governor Swann.

"I think it'd be rather exciting to meet a pirate." Elizabeth has always been interested in pirates. The life of freedom.

I, on the other hand was well aware of what happens when you are in the company of pirates. They can betray you. Leave you. They are very selfish. Only thinking of themselves and ways to survive.

These are things you can learn only from personal experience. I am nine years old and have already felt the sting of the loss of a parent. My mother did not die, she just could not handle being just a mother. She longed for her life as a pirate. In the process she left my father and I. Hence why we are now on our way to Port Royal.

A new life for us.

I must have spaced out for a lot longer then I thought, because next thing I knew Lizzie was shouting for help, a boy was in the water.

Once the soldiers pulled him up Lizzie and I immediately started taking care of him. He told us his name was Will Turner, then he passed out again.

Lizzie noticed a chain hanging off of his neck. It held a pirate medallion.

We looked at each other, nodding.

I whispered to her. "Tell no one."

As they took Will below we saw a ship with black sails and a pirate flag sailing away.

I hope you all enjoyed the prologue! Review! Review! Review!
