Pirates of South Carolina:

The edited version of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean

Chapter 1

The Crossing

Young Elizabeth stood at the bow of the ship singing a pirates chant. There was an eerie fog surrounding and the ever so slightly blown wind froze all that was in its way. Out of no where Elizabeth felt a cold hand touch her shoulder, she jumped and turned around. "Quiet, missy! Cursed pirates sail upon these waters. You wouldn't want to be bringing them down on us, now, do ya?" Mr. Gibbs, a sailor on the ship asked her with anger in his voice. Elizabeth was silent for she saw a shadow behind him.

"Mr. Gibbs, that will do!" Lieutenant Norrington had saved her from Gibbs stern eyes. Lieutenant Norrington was Elizabeth's father's favorite man next to the King of England, of course.

Gibbs and Lt. Norrington were talking quietly when Gibbs suddenly proclaimed, "She was singing about pirates. Bad luck to be singing about pirates with us mire in this unnatural fog. Mark my words."

Lieutenant stated "Consider them marked. On your way"

"Aye, Lieutenant. It's bad luck to have a woman on board, too? Even a miniature one"

" I think it would be quite exciting to meet a pirate" Liz as Elizabeth was often called told Lieutenant Norrington.

"Think again, Miss Swann. Vile and dissolute creatures, the lot of them. I intend to see to it that any man who sails under a pirate flag or wears a pirate brand gets what he deserves -a short drop and a sudden stop" In the corner of her eye Liz could see Gibbs imitate a hanging.

Elizabeth's father the to be Governor of South Carolina burst in-to the conversation "Lieutenant Norrington, I appreciate your fervor, but I'm, uh, I'm concerned about the effect this subject will have upon my daughter."

" My apologies sir" was all Norrington said and he left.

Elizabeth and her father were left alone in the front of the ship. " Father why is it so wrong to want to meet a pirate, it all seems quite interesting to me."

" Yes, Yes, that's what concerns me. I understand you are only 9 and you are the only girl upon this ship, but trust me when we reach Port Royal we will live in an amazing mansion and when your sister, Charlotte, joins us over here we will have a wonderful life. Char can teach you all the things you need to know about being an excellent wife. One day you will marry some rich handsome man and live happily till you're so old you can't see your nose."

"Like Aunt Mercy!"

"Yes dear, just like your poor dear auntie Mer. So do you see dear why you must behave."

"Yes father, Of course I do"

"Very well then I shall see you at diner darling."

I hate it when he talks like that. Thought Elizabeth. He's always making excuses up. I don't want to see Char either, last Christmas she made me wear that horrible pink dress that felt as if it was three sizes to small and she's always going around talking about her complexion, and, and she's just horrible.

"Well, well, well what is this, a young girl complaining?"

"Gillette! I wasn't complaining nor could you know if I was because I wasn't talking."

"Oh yes you were and rather loudly for that matter"

"What did I say?"

"He's always making excuses up. I don't want to see Char either, last Christmas she made me wear that horrible pink dress that felt as if it was three sizes to small and she's always going around talking about her complexion, and, and she's just horrible." Elizabeth said nothing but instead gave him her look she gave when she got mad. It was that look that would kill a bear; it could have made Satan himself fear her.

Thomas Gillette, a cabin boy who was well on his way to being a high-ranking soldier, had been a friend with Liz since the day she was born. Gillette's parents were close friends of Governor Swann. The two had been best friends forever.

Gillette had been called over to the captain for something, so Liz was looking out over the sea. It was so vast and huge…it seemed hard to think that they were supposed to be in Port Royal in two weeks. In the past Elizabeth had been on ships for nearly a month but she could always see a sliver of land.

As Elizabeth looked into the ocean she saw an parasol she wondered where it came from and then she turned her head out to look and she saw a piece of debris in the water. On that wreckage was a boy about her age. Elizabeth squealed "Look! A boy! There's a boy in the water!"

Norrington shouted, "Man overboard! Man the ropes. Fetch a Hook! Haul him aboard" As the men started to save the boy Liz saw something flash as if it were metal from the boys neck. Lieutenant Norrington stated that the boy was still breathing and he had the sailors place him on the table.

In the distance Gibbs saw a flaming ship. The governor uttered, "What happened here?"

Norrington answered "it's most likely the powder magazine. Merchant vessels run heavily armed."

Gibbs interrupted "A lot of good it did them. Everyone's thinking it. I'm just saying it. Pirates."

"Why there's no proof of that. It was probably an accident. Just in case. Rouse the Captain immediately! Heave to and take in sail. Launch the boats"

Governor Swann asked Elizabeth to take care of the boy. Liz obeyed her father and as she took care of him he grabbed her wrist and asked who she was. She politely answered and he told her that his was Will Turner. Elizabeth remembered his necklace and took it from his neck. On it was a pirate skull. "You're a pirate." She whispered, her voice meek and afraid.
