A/N: Sorry this one is so short I'll try and get the next chapter up as soon as I can.

It had been exactly two weeks since Natalie arrived back in Port Royal. Natalie had been surprisingly happy now that she wasn't with Jack over even around Jaclyn. There was only one thing that bothered her though. She has been seeing a strange figure that has been following her around.

Natalie got up early the next morning and put on her most elegant dress. There was a ceremony being held at the fort and Natalie's father had insisted on her going. After she had gotten dressed a maid entered the room.

"Miss Natalie, your father is waiting downstairs for you." Natalie nodded and went downstairs to meet her father.

"Natalie, you look stunning…" Her father said as she came down the stairs. Natalie had on a light blue dress. The dress had a low-neck line and it had half sleeves, which had ruffles on the end.

"Are you ready to leave?" Governor Swann asked as she reached the bottom of the stairs.

"I am…" Natalie replied and followed her father out to the carriage.

The ceremony was long and boring. Natalie found that her mind kept wandering even though she tried her hardest to pay attention. After the ceremony there was a small reception. Natalie escaped talking to anyone and went to an outside part of the fort, which happened to be where Commodore Norrington proposed to her sister.

She stood there looking out at the sea until she heard a voice behind her. "Miss Swann…?"

Natalie turned around and saw a young man about her age standing there. He had tan skin, brown hair and light brown eyes. "Yes…?" She asked him.

"I wanted to see if you were alright. You've been standing there for a little bit, now." The man replied showing his concern.

"I appreciate your concern Mr.-"

"Cunningham, Ryan Cunningham…" Ryan told her.

Natalie gave him a small smile. "Mr. Cunningham, like I said I appreciate your concern, but it is not needed." She said softly.

"Why is that Miss Swann?" Ryan asked curiously.

"Because I can take care of myself." Natalie replied with a smile, which made him smile as well.

"If you excuse me I'm afraid I have to leave you." Mr. Cunningham bowed to her and then left.

Natalie smiled and watched him leave. Once he was out of sight she turned her attention back towards the ocean.

"You thought you could get rid of me, well I'm back and I'm going to kill you." Natalie jumped at the sound of a voice in her ear. She spun around and saw John standing right behind her.

"H-How did you survive?" Natalie asked a bit afraid.

"I have my ways…" He whispered.

Natalie backed up until she reached the edge. "You wouldn't really kill me, would you?" She asked hoping someone would see what was going on.

"Try me…" John then pushed Natalie backwards causing her to lose her balance and fall into the ocean below.

Natalie felt herself sink to the ocean floor. She tried desperately to reach the surface, but her dress was weighing her down.

I guess this is it. I'm going to die. Natalie thought as she started to get light headed from lack of air.

Just before Natalie passed out she felt someone wrap his or her arms around her waist and bring her to the surface.
