Authoress Note: I decided to do a rewrite on this fic and it was originally called Love Prohibited and then it was called Jaded and I messed up with it with my writing. I decided that a better title would be better for this fic. I know that I have so many fics going on right now at the moment. I hope that this second rewrite will do this story some justice. I'm going to be tweaking a lot of this story to make it better and hopefully you my readers enjoy this story. I want to try and keep my schedule up of writing and try my best to not miss any days of posting any story. But I'm going to try my best with updating. I just got bad news that my great aunt passed away on the 10th and one of my best friend's brother passed away on the 11th. So it's kind of hard with trying to post and even that write, but I'm going to try my best. Without further ado the prologue of When it All Comes Down.

Prologue

"Yo, ho, yo, ho, a pirate's life for me. Yo, ho, yo, ho, it's a pirate's life for me…. Drink up me hearties, yo ho ..." Twelve year old Elizabeth sang softly as she looked out into the clouded abyss that was around the water.

Rose's eyes went wide as she looked at her younger sister hearing her sing about pirates. It was not a normal thing for little girls to be singing about. She jumped when Joshamee Gibbs clutched onto her shoulder. She bit her tongue in wanting to say something, but she didn't want to bring trouble down onto herself. After all she was to be a role model to Elizabeth since their mother had passed not too long ago. Her brows furrowed together as Gibbs turned Elizabeth towards him.

"Quiet, Missy! Cursed pirates sail these waters. You want to call 'em down on us?" Joshamee's voice came out gruff, causing Rose to shiver a little in fear.

"Mr. Gibbs," Captain Norrington's voice rang out, in Rose's eyes he was a fine young man, only being five years older than herself. "That will do."

Rose bit the inside of her cheeks as she shyly looked through her lashes at the man that made her heart flutter in happiness. He was a kind man to her and she knew that he would protect her and her family on this journey.

"She was singing about pirates." Joshamee said, trying to defend his actions of scaring Elizabeth and Rose. "Bad luck to sing about pirates, with us mired in this unnatural fog… mark my words."

"Consider them marked. On your way." Captain Norrington said looking at Joshamee with a you're dismissed look on his face.

Rose took a shaky breath as Joshamee went on his way.

"Rose back away from the rail." Governor Swann called his eldest daughter. "I know you get seasick when you look at the water."

Rose carefully picked up the hem of her light green dress she wore and walked towards where her father and the Captain were. She looked up when she felt a hand on her shoulder, which belonged to none other than James. It was always a sweet gesture from him and it caused her heart to race inside of her chest.

"Aye, Captain." Joshamee said as he moved along."Bad luck to have a woman on board, too, Evan a miniature one and a young adult."

"I think it would be rather exciting to meet a pirate." Elizabeth said with a smile, not even thinking about what it would truly be like to meet a pirate in real life.

Rose shook her head at the thought of meeting a pirate.

"Think again, Miss Swann. Vile and dissolute creatures, the lot of them. I intend to see to it that any man who sails under a pirate flag, or wears a pirate brand, gets what he deserves: a short drop and a sudden stop."

Rose's eyes went wide as she looked up at him. "James." Her voice was rather soft. She didn't like the fact that he so willingly would say that outloud in front of her younger sister who was still rather impressionable than she was.

"Captain Norrington… I appreciate your fervor, but I am concerned about the effect of this subject will have on both of my daughters." Governor Swann said, giving James a warning.

"My apologies, Governor." James said firmly as he looked over at Governor Swann.

Rose's hand went to her mouth as a wave of sickness hit her.

"Miss Swann do you wish me to take you below deck to the Captain's corridor?" James asked softly knowing the look on Rose's face wasn't a good one.

She nodded her head rather weakly.

James looked at the Governor. "Governor, I am going to take your daughter below deck." James said politely.

Her father nodded his head knowing that Rose needed to get below deck.

James pulled her close to him and slowly took her below deck. He brought her to the Captain's room like he had promised. He looked at her worry etched across his face. "You should rest." He said softly, touching the side of her cheek.

"Thank you, James." She said softly looking up into his eyes as she tried her best not to lean into his touch, but she failed in doing so only to lean into his calloused hand. She shyly moved back her cheeks flushing in embarrassment. "I must apologize. I shouldn't have done that."

James' lips quirked a little in thought of how proper that she thought that she should be. "Rest Miss Swann. I will be back later to check on you." He said softly.

Rose nodded her head softly as she moved towards the bed slowly and finally laid down.

James watched her with a soft gaze before slowly closing the door and turning to go back above deck where he was needed.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

This is the end of the Prologue of When it All Comes Down. I hope that you guys liked it. I added a bit more to this part and I promise you that this will be much better than the last one. Hopefully I will be able to fix Rose's character a bit more and make her much better and make her seem like the older sister like she is supposed to be in this story. Please leave a review and let me know what you think. I'll try to update soon with the next part as soon as I can. Until next time guys.
