A/N: Hey guys, this chapter does a lot of explaining about who the character is and for those who wish to know the story does begin from the start of 'At worlds End' if you couldn't already tell :3. I hope you all enjoyed the first chapter, it was a pain in the butt to write, I think the quality of the writing shows that D:
Well….Enjoy! :DChapter two:
It had been two days, Two days since the escape and two days since I stowed myself away in the cargo hold of this merchant ship. From hearing the crew babble on a daily basis I learnt we were heading to Singapore and would arrive in another three days, so that meant another three days of silent waiting.
I rummaged through my pockets this then making me look a down at my clothing, I was in the clothing I had taken from my adoptive father's chest. A deep red coat which reached my knees, much like the ones I had seen on pirates which were brought to Port Royal to be hung. I wore black trousers with long knee high black boots thrown on, my shirt was a simple white lace with one of my own red corsets placed on top. I wondered what I must look like to others, was a pretty? Did I look like a pirate myself? Or did I just look like a scared girl having just escaped death? I could feel the dirt on my face and I knew at that moment I didn't look pretty.
My mother would always call me the porcelain doll due to my pale complexion and smooth skin, the only colour was the small pinkish blush which occupied my cheeks. My deep brown hair which was now damp and stuck to the sides of my face was usually in long waves which cascaded down my back. I always loved the colour of my hair; many would say it matched my fiery personality. Yet many looked past this and said my personality reflected off my hazel eyes, mysterious and thoughtful. I didn't pay much attention to it, in my eyes I was my own person. I was Helaina Turner. A troubled person abandoned by my family.
So many thoughts raced around my head that night, I thought of the last time I saw my real parents. I thought of my brother, who promised to look after me then disappeared. Tears began to form in the corners of my eyes. The faces of my adoptive family came into view, they never really wanted me. They just found me on the doorstep. A little girl with no parents holding nothing but a locket and a small stuffed bear. I couldn't stop the tears as they rolled down my cheeks, my life had taken a turn for the worst and god only knew where I would end up next. I had no one.
My eyes soon became heavy still wet with tears and I could feel myself drifting into sleep.
(A/N: My descriptions suck but Woo William's sister ! I'm going to try and make her not wimpy but not a courageous as Will or Elizabeth)I awoke the next day to the sound of voices above me, I could hear the feet of the crew shifting quietly. I had been found and I didn't need to open my eyes to see that, but I did. Looking up to a confused crew left me anxious, I wanted out of there. Each one of them stood blocking any escape.
"Our captain is wanting to speak to you milady" I sat upright and followed the crews gaze to a man standing by the small flight of steps which led to the deck. Within a second I was on my feet making my way over to him, my eyes fixated on the ground. I listened as each step I took thudded lightly on the wooden floor.
"May I be to bold to ask, as to what your captain wishing to see me about?" My whole body tensed, I knew the answer. I've just spent 3 days stowed away on his ship, come on Helaina you're not stupid.
'Or maybe I am' I thought walking slowly behind the man
"I assumed it be obvious, what with you hiding away in the back there" he grinned looking directly at me.
"He won't kill me will he…" I paused looking at his face; I now noticed how young he was. He couldn't be more than 2 years older than me making him around 20. His face held a mischievous grin and he laughed lightly to himself.
"No I can't say he will. You're just a young'un. How old are you then?" I felt myself begin to calm down; his idle chit chat almost reassured me. I found myself smiling at him.
"I'm 18, only just. What do you think will happen to me…" I half grimaced at the approaching meeting with his captain.
"Most likely we'll drop you off at our next port…" we walked on until he stopped abruptly in front of a set of large wooden doors "He be in there, Just announce your name as you enter. Good luck lass" he smiled and headed back towards the crews quarters.
I knocked on the door hoping my politeness would not go unnoticed 'Oh god' I sighed inwardly as I heard a booming voice yell for me to enter. Upon walking in I saw the room was brightly lit full of books and small trinkets, the captain sat with his head in a book. I walked six steps into the room and halted.
"My name is Helaina Turner" I spoke with all confidence I had left "Captain" I added quickly watching as the captains book was lowered to the a large desk.
"Helaina Turner" he drawled as if playing around with my name on his tongue "My crew informed me you was found behind some cargo in their quarters, Am I to assume you been there since we left Port royal not 3 days ago" He smile my way and stood up approaching me slowly.
"Yes sir I have been aboard since port royal…" I breathed slowly.
"Perhaps you'll be willing to explain why…" as if he could sense how tense I was he stopped "I've got all day, and you'll be having my word that you are not to be harmed. Now come lass, sit."
On shaky legs I approached him a sat, Yes this would be a long day.
