AN: Yo guys! I decided to give POTC stories a go, and I'm starting off with this small fic about Anamaria. You know, the pirate who slaps Jack for taking her boat in the first movie, who then somehow disappears for the other films? Thought so.
'Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you.. Happy birthday dear Ana, Happy Birthday to you!'
The sound of singing woke up a young, six year old version of Anamaria Malchata from a peaceful sleep. It was Anamaria's birthday, and it was routine for her to be woken by her mother's singing every year on this day. Little Ana swung her dark legs out of bed, and ran to hug her mother. She loved birthdays, because usually she got presents. Last year, her papa had brought her a small model of the Queen Annes Revenge, a model Anamaria had studied and gazed at for hours. In all honesty, she didnt really expect anything this year. Her father had long since left Anamaria and her mother, taking all their money and leaving them poor. Jasmine Malchata, Anamaria's mother, barely had enough money to feed herself and her daughter, yet alone buy presents. As Anamaria clutched her mother, she remembered how suddenly her beloved father had left them, without a trace, without a warning. Little Ana sniffed, burying her face in her mama's skirts.
"Mum? You wont leave me, will you?" Ana asked, looking at the long, pretty skirt. Her mother muttered something about never leaving her, but Anamaria was too busy looking at her mothers dress. It was elaborate, and didnt look like something her mother could afford. The dress was laced with pink beads, and had ribbon dorn the sides. Ana'smind flashed back to a few weeks ago, to watching the birthday parade of the princess herself. The little girl had been watching with awe, marvelling at the beautiful, pink bead laced dress the woman had worn.. Exactly like the one her mother was wearing!
Anamaria gasped and looked up at her mother in fury. Her mother had been a thief, years back, and had promised, promised to Ana that she would never steal again.
"Mum!" Ana yelled in fury, backing away from the thief and shaking.
"What was I meant to do, you little brat? What with you whining at me all the time, with your constant 'Mama I love you's!' What was I meant to do for fun? Go out into Tortuga dressed in an old dress? Nay! You're a horrible, selfish little brat, who should be locked away, banished to the sea!" Anamaria's mother screamed, spittle flying from her red lips.
Anamaria backed off, mumbling about being sorry. Then again, what was she meant to be sorry for? She was a child, and he mum had PROMISED never to thieve again. The little girl turned heel and ran down the stairs, away from her furious mother, and out of the door. When her mother caught up with her, Anamaria turned, and gave her mother the slap of her life. She trembled, waiting for a slap back. When it came, it sure as hell hurt. Anamaria cringed, and death stared her mother before running straight down the path, away from her home, family, friends, and anyone who'd ever loved her. What a birthday it was for little Anamaria Malchita.
Le fin? I might have to add more chapters, and bring Jack into it somewhere...What do you think? Review, pleeeeeeease. Free rum?
By the way, I'm not too sure about continuing Full Moon, the RONKS story. Let me know about that? Tar loves!
