First Pirates of the Caribbean Fanfic, I've written and I'll be honest I wrote this whole thing up in about 2-3 days. I finished it but I'm still adding details. This is a Norrington/OC one-sided with a bit of Ragetti/OC one-sided. The DMC Sequel as well as AWE will be Norrington/OC and Beckett/OC.
Disclaimer: I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean or any of the characters. I only own my OC and any changes in plot and such.
Summary: Young Elizabeth Swann stumbles upon a young mermaid washed up on the beach of Port Royal. This young girl goes with her to live a life as a human for the next eight years. Bad summary I know. Follows 1st movie, OC/Norrington with a tiny bit of Ragetti/OC one-sided and then Beckett/OC when the second movie events start.
Twelve year old Elizabeth Swann walked down along the beach in her night gown. She often left at night for a walk if she could get away from the house without been seen. She had been living in Port Royal for a little over a year. She'd gotten used to her new life there. She was walking along getting lost in her thoughts when she noticed a figure lying on the beach, half in the water. She made her way over and realized the figure was a girl around her age. She was lying on her stomach with her head turned facing towards Elizabeth. She had no clothes and her very long black hair that went down to her mid-back covered her face. The water pulled away from the girl's body to reveal a redish purple mermaid's tail. Elizabeth gasped and looked around the surrounding area quickly for anyone before looking back at the girl. Elizabeth quickly walked closer to the girl. She appeared to be unconscious. Elizabeth grabbed the girl and pulled her away from the water and onto the dry sand. As the girl's tail began to dry on the sand her tail melted away to show pale legs. Elizabeth reached down and moved the hair out of the girls face. Suddenly the girl's eyes opened, they were a vibrant green. The girl saw Elizabeth and immediately hissed and pulled away from her. She went to move away before looking down at her legs. She looked back at Elizabeth briefly before trying to get up and get away but her legs weren't strong enough and she fell to the sand.
"Wait! I'm not going to hurt you." The girl eyed her suspiciously.
"How can I know that?" She said keeping her eyes on Elizabeth.
"Because I wish to help you."
"Help me how?" The young mermaid said still glaring at the young girl.
"I've read about mermaids. If anyone else were to have found you here-"
"I would have been killed."
"Exactly. So I pulled you away from the water."
"That helps me in one way but not in another. I cannot use these.." she said looking down at her newly formed legs. "I have nowhere to go. I do not even know how I got here.. where is here?"
"Port Royal. And you can come and live with me." The young Swann said excitedly.
"And who are you?"
"Elizabeth Swann. What's your name?"
"I do not have one."
"Would you be alright if I name you?" The mermaid looked wary but nodded. "Alright, from now on your name is to be-"
"Elizabeth!" Both girls looked up to find Governor Swann, Lieutenant Norrington, as well as a few other people in Navy uniforms. The group rushed over to where Elizabeth was kneeling next to the mermaid who began to shake slightly. "Elizabeth, what are you doing out here?" The Governor said ignoring the other girl.
"Father, this girl was washed up on the beach. She has no memory; I wish for her to live with us, I'll take care of her." Everyone's eyed turned to the other young girl who was clutching her legs to her chest, shaking quite visibly out of fear and the cold wind. Norrington suddenly took off his coat and walked over to the girl who leaned away slightly. He crouched down and wrapped his coat around her. She gladly pulled it tighter around herself. Norrington stood and walked back to stand beside the Governor.
"Elizabeth, we cannot just take in some girl without knowing who she is." The Governor argued.
"But father, she has nowhere to go." Elizabeth pleaded. The Governor looked torn.
"Well we can't just leave the poor girl.. fine, she can stay with us but she will be your responsibility."
"I am no pet." The girl spat, glaring.
"Well, come along." The Governor said ignoring her. Elizabeth stood and held down a hand for the girl. Using one hand to hold Norrington's coat around her she reached up and took Elizabeth's hand. She stood up shakily and took one step before her legs buckled. She hit the ground with a gasp. The group that had begun to walk away turned back.
"She cannot walk." Elizabeth said. The girl looked down embarrassed. Suddenly she was picked up into someone's arms. She looked up to see Norrington's face.
"Thank you." She said quietly as the group began to walk to the Governor's house.
"You're Welcome."
Once at the house Norrington placed the girl in a chair. She went to take off his coat when he stopped her.
"You can return it tomorrow." She nodded. Norrington began to walk away when he turned back and looked at the girl. "Coralie."
"What?" She asked, confused.
"You look like a Coralie." He said simply before walking away.
Rest of the story is in 1st person. Name is pronounced "core-ah-lie" I'm already writing the next story to be during Dead Man's Chest. This one is finished but I'm still going to add more details and such. Reviews are much appreciated.
