Chapter 2 – Death Sentence In Port Royal

"E-ex-cuse me Miss Turner?"

"Yes? You can come in"

"Commodore Norrington wishes to show you around Port Royal. We have almost docked" Wow. We're already here. It only took us 2 weeks. "Could you please tell him that I would be honored? I will meet him on the main deck shortly"

"Y-yes miss" As soon as the messenger with the stutter left I closed the door and went to find a lady presentable dress I could wear. I opened my closet to find millions of blue, yellow, and pink dresses. Oh! I love this blue one. As soon as I managed to get the dress on it started to itch.

"Milady? Your maids are here to help you dress" Without my permission they entered and came over to my changing area where I stood trying to stop the itchiness. "Oh it's quite ok. I've done it myself" The shorter maid started to feel around my chest and stomach. "Oh silly!" She said "You haven't put on your corset!" through small chuckles. "A corset what's that?" Really? Did they expect me to know what a corset was? I've lived on a deserted island my whole life. "Here turn around. This one should fit you" Both women stripped me out of my dress and strapped my in some sort of strapless top, that laced up at the back. "Oh, Dios mío! Take it off! Take it off! No puedo respirar!" (Oh my God! Take it off! Take it off! I can't breathe!). "Don't be stupid! It is mandatory for a woman to wear a corset!" The taller and fatter maid yelled at me. By God she is a mean and cranky lady.

"Are there you are miss Turner" Norrington had a smile on his face, and I couldn't breathe from the damn corset. "I suppose your maids put a corset on you?"

"Yes!" He started to slightly laugh to himself. Oh so my pain is amusing to you? "Here lets take a walk" He grabbed my hand and started to walk down the gang plank to the docks. Before I knew it we were in the very center of Port Royal. Shops lined every sections of the streets and people selling and begging to survive. Norrington stopped in the middle of the road, grabbed my left hand, turned it slightly so my wrist faced up. I could have never seen it coming but he pulled my sleeve up. "Have a brush in with the East Indian Trading Company eh? Pirate" He was looking at the P cut into my wrist to symbolize that I was a part of piracy. Everyone in the town's center stopped and looked at me. "I-i-it's not what it looks like! My parents were pirates!"

"So you have pirate in your blood" He turned to a guard and ordered him to go get some shackles.

I had to survive, I couldn't die without having met my father. Norrington still had a hold on me, I tried to wriggle free but he was much stronger than me. There was only one way out of his grip, I bit his hand that was holding onto me, he released me for a second but got hold of me so I punched him in the face and he fell back on some by passers. I saw some rope that led to a high place just over the bridge. I ran to the rope and put my sweaty hands on it ready to ascend the climb, but was stopped in my tracks by about 2 dozen soldiers. "Well then"

"So Birdie Turner. If that is your real name? You lied to all of us"

"With great intensions. I'm looking for my father"

"Commodore, here are the shackles you requested" The soldier handed Norrington the shackles. "Miss, hands out"

Before Norrington hand a chance to place the shackles around my wrists I turned to everyone who was watching. "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the day that you all will remember as the day you almost caught Birdie Sparrow!" Leaving them at that I was off up the wall to somewhere safe. "Get Her!"

"Sir! We can't find her!"

"Well keep looking then! She couldn't have gone far!" Your right I haven't gone far. In fact I'm standing right behind you. But they didn't know that, and the all ran off in different directions. I had to find a place to hide, ah 'Mr. Smiths Blacksmith' perfect. I stealthily walked into the blacksmiths. Finally! Safe at last. That's what I thought until I got hit in the back of the head with something metal.

When I became conscience again I was tied in rope to a chair with cloth wrapped around my mouth as a gag, oh and not to mention a handsome man my age holding a sword to my throat. "Are you the pirate they're looking for?" You could tell that he had never met a pirate before. I nodded my head but didn't even attempt to say anything. "Your Birdie?" I nodded my head and tried to talk to him but the words just came out in a mumble. "Here let me help you" His soft hands swept across my face and untied the cloth around my mouth. "Now, tell me why I shouldn't go and get the guards"

"I'm not a pirate" I wanted to sound fearless and strong, but my girlie feelings got in the way. Before he could say anything to my comment the door opened, I expected a handful of guards to storm in and arrest me, but once again to my surprise another hansom man came in. He looked like an older version of the younger guy. "Will! You actually got her!" He came over to where Will was standing, next to me, and gave him a pat on the back. "Thanks father. Now are you going to tell me why this pirate is so important to us?" Father and son, how nice. Wait. I'm important to them? I've never even met them. "Remember your dear godfather, Jack Sparrow?"

"Captain Jack Sparrow!" I spat in his face. "Yeah" Will said to his father. "Well this is Birdie Sparrow. One of Jack's daughters"

"Wait! What! I'm one of his daughters?!" Oh my goodness! I have a sister! "Yes. You have a half-sister named Cordellia but everyone calls her Cord for short. You have the same father but different mothers" I don't care! I have a half-sister!

Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, who knows how many guards broke into the blacksmith shop and dragged me out. "Let go of me!" I was still in my blue dress and it was getting muddy and tearing from the rocks on the ground. I was back in the town's center when 2 guards bound my hands together and pushed me to my knees. "Birdie Sparrow, the crimes you are charged with are impersonating someone you are not, lying to officers, distressing innocent people, and acts of piracy. You are here by sentenced to hang till dead!"
