Author's Note: This is my very first story here on FanFiction.net. Hope you
all enjoy this Chapter! But first I would just like to say that all of
these characters belong to Disney. The only characters that are of my own
creation are: Kathrine O'Connell, Jennie O'Connell, Jonathon O'Connell, and
Marcus Barbossa. (I just wanted to point that out so I don't get sued or
anything). Please enjoy this first chapter! ~~~ Kristi (Spazz53191)
Chapter 1: The Letter
The stone wall was frozen, on which young Kathrine O'Connell was leaning up against. She was tired, frozen, and wet from the storm (which was still pouring and thundering). "Well, at least I'm away from my parents, that's the good part about all of this", Kathrine said to herself while walking toward an abandoned cottage. "It's near dark, I should be hurrying", she continued. While walking on, she found herself remembering what had happened 3 hours before now:
"ALL YOU DO IS SIT AROUND DRINKING!!!" she remembered herself yelling at her parents (Jennie O'Connell and Jonathon O'Connell).
"Can't you at least once pay any attention to me? Or at least put down your bottle of rum and listen to any word I say?" she continued.
"There's nothing better to do. It's not like we wanted to have a child in our lives", said her father, Jonathon O'Connell, in a drunk "I don't care about anything" kind of way.
"WELL I WISH I WAS NEVER BORN!" she yelled as she walked into her room, grabbing her quill and ink bottle, and a flimsy piece of blank parchment. Then she was on her way out the door, heading toward Port Royal.
Now, as she continued her journey, she took out that piece of parchment, her quill, and ink bottle. The rain had stopped, but thunder still could be heard. Kathrine knew she had little time to write her letter before the rain came down again. As she wrote the letter her brown, wet hair covered her eyes. She pulled her bangs back and continued writing.
Kathrine was not a usual girl. She yearned for adventure, and loved the tales her Uncle told her every time he visited her. Her brown eyes seemed to seek the adventure also, you could see it in her eyes. For she would dream at night of her sailing the open sea with a crew of her own. For she wanted to be just like her Uncle, she wanted to be a pirate! Kathrine did not mind her hair getting all ratty when the wind of the open sea was fierce. She'd hoped that one day her Uncle would take her aboard his ship, and they would have a great adventure.
Kathrine was nearing her 13th birthday and was hoping for nothing more, but to spend it with her Uncle. Every year for her birthday, her Uncle would come and tell her about all of his wonderful adventures, while she begged and pleaded that she go with him when he left. But, he always said she was quite a bit young. Now, she would be 13, for sure he wouldn't be able to say no this time.
No one in Kathrine's family would want her to visit, except her uncle. As Kathrine kept writing, she began wondering if it would be alright with her uncle if she came to visit without telling him in advance.
"Oh, well, I'm sure he won't care. He did tell me where he was going to be, and also to write to him if anything bad happened", she said to herself.
"Alright, I've got to write this letter, or else I'll be stuck out here forever." She decided.
As she began signing her signature, she noticed a carriage coming by.
"Excuse me!" Kathrine said to the carriage pulling up near her. "Are you heading to Port Royal sir?" she asked the stagecoach.
"Why, yes I am" he replied.
"I'm sorry to ask you for such a big favor, but would you mind sending this letter for me? I don't think I would make it until much late tonight, and I need it sent rather quickly." Kathrine asked.
"Of course, young miss. I should be arriving in Port Royal in an hour or so. I will be sure to get this letter sent." He replied in a helpful voice.
"Thank you very much" Kathrine said.
"Why, you're very welcome" The stagecoach said as the carriage began to move forward and Kathrine could no longer see it.
Kathrine would be arriving in Port Royal in two hours or so. She could not wait to visit her Uncle Jack.

"So, what's this new ship I've heard about so much?" Will Turner, a young Blacksmith asked.
"Well, it's very strange. You see mate, it's one of the only ships that's almost got as much speed as the Black Pearl" replied Jack Sparrow, one of the best pirates who's ever sailed in the Caribbean Sea.
"Well, what's the ship called?" Elizabeth Swann, a young woman who found herself loving adventure, asked.
"Well it's -"Jack couldn't finish his sentence, for there was a knock at the door.
"Is there a Mr. Smith, here?" a stagecoach asked as Will opened the door.
"I'm sorry, but n-"Will was cut off by Jack.
"Yes, I'm here!" Jack said to the stagecoach.
"You've got a letter" said the stagecoach. And he walked back to his carriage and moved along further in Port Royal.
Jack sat down and opened the letter then read it quietly. While Will and Elizabeth, sat down at the table and lighted a few more candles so it wasn't so dark. Will found himself wondering who this letter was from. Until Jack almost at once, answered his question.
"We'll be having a visitor soon" Jack said.
"Well, who is it??" Will asked.
"..My niece" Jack replied.
