Chapter One: His eyes
Christine Norrington moaned as the maids opened up the curtains to wake her up this lovely morning. Christine slowly removed the covers off of her body and placed her feet onto the soft carpet of her large bedroom.
One of the maids pulled her aside and towards the bathtub. Christine lifted up her arms and allowed the maid to lift her nightdress over her head. She lifted her leg and let her pale flesh touch the warm water. Then she placed her hold body into the water and relaxed in it. The maids grabbed their scrubs, brushes, herbs and oils and started to rub her skin and rub the oils through her long blond hair. Then Christine dunked her head under to rinse herself off and then once she rose they placed fresh oatmeal over her face.
Once again she dunked under, only this time it was just her face as she rinsed all of the oatmeal off.
Once she stepped out she was dried and taken behind the curtain. The maids wrapped a white towel around her hair as they placed on her underclothing, her corset and her layered dress. The dress was a quarter sleeve baby blue dress with ruffles on the end of the sleeves and neckline. Then they removed the towel and started to brush it through softly with a brush. They placed it up with various clips and such and then they placed a large blue hat over her head matching the dress.
Just then as she was beginning to place on her makeup there was a knock at the door.
"It's me Christine." Said James Norrington, her older brother by a year.
"Come in." She replied.
James walked in and stood in front of her as she continued to place on her powder and such.
"Is there a reason why you're here?" asked Christine trying to sound as polite as she could.
"I just came to inform you that the ceremony starts very soon. Mister Daniel Morison is being promoted. You wouldn't want to miss that now would you?" he asked.
"Oh goodness no!" she replied in a dramatic manor as she placed her palm over her heart.
James rolled his eyes at his sister's sarcastic comment. "Be there Christine." He said sternly as he began to walk out.
"Wait!" shouted Christine after him.
Now that she was done putting on her makeup she ran down the hall to catch up with her brother.
"Yes?" asked James as he turned to face her.
"I won't be there quite on time. I need to go to the market. But I will be very quick, I promise." She explained quickly.
James took in a deep sign before answering. "Fine." He gave up. "But be quick, and try not to make so much noise when you arrive. You wouldn't want to cause a disturbance." He said dryly then turned to leave.
Him and his sister were never very close. They loved each other, they really did, and it's just that James is more polite, mature and responsible. And Christine is more fun, can be polite at times, and maybe just a little less responsible.
Christine stepped back into her room where the maids were cleaning up and she grabbed her basket and headed for the market.
"On deck you scavvern dogs! Make sail!" yelled and ordered around Captain Jack Sparrow to his crew.
They were now making there way towards Port Royal to get some supplies. Tortuga is now filled with merchant sailors trying to set the place straight.
And yes Jack knows that Port Royal is filled with them too, but there's less then in Tortuga. It's like a sudden boot camp down there! And plus he thinks that he can sneak his way past them, Jack was always up for the adventure.
"Where will we dock captain?" asked Anna-Maria as she stepped near him.
Jack took a moment to think before he turned to face her. "Right here." He said.
They were about a half a mile in the distance behind cliff so that no one could see the ship coming.
"Lower anquere!" Yelled Anna-Maria as everyone did so.
Jack stepped onto the railing of the ship then looked back to his crew.
"If I'm not back before midnight, then come looking for me." He said. "And don't do anything stupid." And then he jumped off of the boat in a perfect dive and landed into the cold waters of the ocean.
Jack swam until he found land, and once he did he stepped up quickly trying not to be seen and snuck his way towards the market. This is going to be easier then I thought. Thought Jack as he noticed that everyone was at some sort of a ceremony.
Just then someone spotted him and yelled out "It's Jack Sparrow." Jack cursed that man under his breath and began to run as the man in red jackets were chasing after him.
Jack dodged many twists and turns and he was now at the market with them still looking for him. Okay, they'll find me in a minute so just grab the food and rum and go. He thought. But he was in such a hurry stealing as much as he could that when he turned around he did not see someone there and he bumped straight into her.
At first he thought that it was one of those guys but as he looked in front of him he noticed that he was merely a women.
"Sorry love." He muttered as he stood up and extended a hand for her to grab.
Without looking, the girl picked up her basket and took his hand. As he lifted her up her eyes looked at him and she stood there. Frozen, completely frozen. It's J-Jack Sparrow. She stuttered in her mind.
He did not look as disgraceful as her brother had put it. He's actually quite charming…He had the most gorgeous brown eyes. She lifted her head a bit more and noticed that he was starring back at her. She didn't now why; there was nothing beautiful about her average blue eyes.
"What's your name love?" he asked softly after a moment as if in a daze.
"…C-Christine. Christine Norrington." She said. Then she noticed that they were still holding hands and she let go quickly.
Jack chuckled at her sudden movement. As he was about her reply, he got cut off by the sound of a pistol being held up at his head.
"Take your hands off of my sister." Said James sternly as Jack turned around to be faced with a pistol pointing at his head.
"I didn't know you had a sister mate. Beautiful lass if you ask me." Said Jack with just caused Christine to blush.
She covered her mouth trying not to giggle. She couldn't in front of her brother.
"Take him to the brig." He said as he took Christine's hand and Started to lead her back to their house. As they were walking Christine took this opportunity alone to ask her brother some questions.
"I don't see why you despise him so much. He seemed quite nice-" she started but was cut off by her brother.
"Of course he's nice to you, you're a lady. Jack Sparrow has always been quite the lady's man or so I've heard." He said without any expression.
Christine and James walked back to their home in silence and never spoke another word for the rest of the day.
It was now late a night and Christine was in bed with the maid putting hot charcoal on the end of the bed.
Just then as the maid left and she was about to blow out her candle there was a knock at the door.
"Yes?" Asked Christine.
"It's me." Replied James as he stepped into the room. "I came to talk to you about Jack." He said as he sat on the edge of the bed. (The opposite end as the hot charcoal of course!)
"What about him?" she asked.
James took in a deep sign. "What happened? Why was he talking to you?"
Christine rolled her eyes. It was like her brother to be overprotective of her. Even if she was only just a year younger.
"Well, he seemed to be in a hurry, grabbing lots of rum and food in his arms, and he bumped into me by accident. He helped me up and that's when you came." She explained.
James looked down at the floor as if grateful that that was all that happened. After a moment of starring at the ground and Christine starring at her hands she said something.
"He's got beautiful eyes." She said softly still starring at her hands as if in a daze.
Then as her brother lifted his eyes from the floor Christine's head shot up in realization of what she had just said. Did I just say that out loud? She wondered.
Judging by her brother's shocked expression she's guessing that she did.
"I'm sorry." She said softly again looking at her hands once more. "I don't like him James, I barely know him. I was just saying that he has beautiful eyes."
"And what makes his eyes so special?" He asked as if in disgust.
James didn't really care so much that she liked his eyes; it's just that he had never thought that his sister would be giving Jack Sparrow compliments that's all. Let alone bump into him.
Christine looked at her brother with a confused expression but then decided to answer. "Well…" she said timidly, not quite expecting what he wanted her to say. So she said the truth. "Well, they're really beautiful, and there a really deep brown color, and the way he lines them with coal really-"
"Okay, I understand." He said cutting her off, not really wanted to hear how hot she thought he was.
"It wouldn't matter anyways." He continued. "Because tomorrow he will be hanged."
Okay, so I'm sorry if this chapter wasn't a lot but that's just because it's just getting started. It will get better so don't stop reading!!! Please review and I hope you liked it anyways:)
