The Norrington Family

Will looked up at Norrington and his expression surprised him. The Commodore, who's expression was almost always emotionless looked as though he had been overcome with emotion, and what surprised Will the most was that the expression which masked his face was sadness.
James opened his mouth and closed it twice as though he was going to say something but decided against it. Now highly confused Will looked to the Governor for some form of explanation but he only responded with a look that said, not now... I'll explain later.
Obviously giving up on supplying Will and the Governor with any form of response James turned the other way and continued on towards the docks.
Will and the Governor watched his retreating back in silence. When Will was sure Norrington was out of earshot he asked, If it isn't to bold sir, what on earth was that about? The Governor turned around to face Will and looked him up and down as though seeing weather or not he was worthy of the information he was about to receive.
Nine years ago Commodore Norrington's father was appointed Governor of a colony in America, don't remember which one, anyway on the voyage to Pennsylvania, that's the one!, his ship was hit by a huge storm and disappeared just off the coast. What was left of his immediate family, two younger sisters and an older brother decided to reside with the newly promoted Captain here, in Port Royale. The ship that they were on was intercepted my a pirate vessel and sunk leaving no survivors.
Will was dumbstruck but it explained why Norrington hated pirates so much. And so, said Will, He took it upon himself to eliminate all pirate threats in the Caribbean.
said the Governor.
Elizabeth Swann sat atop the stone wall at the fort which overlooked all of Port Royale. She was simply looking out into the crystal clear sky when she noticed her father and her fiancee talking to each other. She was pleased that the two got along even though she was sure her father would have preferred it if she were to marry Commodore Norrington instead. She hopped off the wall deciding to join them. On her way towards them she walked straight into the Commodore, good afternoon, she said straightening herself up. And to you too, Miss Swann, he said without even looking at her as he continued on towards the docks. Elizabeth noted with disdain that he had reverted to calling her Miss Swann again. She was also surprised by his behavior as he was almost always willing to stop and chat whenever he saw her, but today he simply rushed past her. She shrugged but continued on towards Will and her father but realized that they were walking towards her.
When they both reached her she opened her mouth to greet them but they too simply rushed past her. She hurried up to them. What's going on? she demanded.
Not now Elizabeth, her father replied. she began but stopped short after viewing her father's meaningful glare.
I'll explain later, whispered Will and looked up as the Gadway came into view. Mind you, you might find out now.
Something is definitely going on thought Elizabeth. She was currently staring at the Commodore as he paced back and forth in front of the Gadway. Several of the Naval officers on the dock thought something was awry as well. After all when a man who is always pulled together begins to pace back and forth in front of a ship muttering to himself and twisting his hands something is out of the ordinary, either that or they've gone mad.
The Governor who had been staring at the Commodore with his mouth slightly open caught sight of the supposed sisters as did Will. Is that them?, he asked. I believe so replied the Governor.
What is going on? repeated Elizabeth. Did you know that Norrington had two sisters, said Will. she replied, but the died ages ago and what does that have to do with- Once again she stopped mid sentence for she had just looked in the direction Will was looking and saw two girls scanning the crowd that had gathered in front of the ship.
You mean, she began. Will nodded. But how? she asked and will shrugged his shoulders and responded with a very undignified
Patience is a virtue, however it is a virtue that Elizabeth Swann did not posses. Although she had only known of the impending situation for at the most three minutes she was already tired of waiting for answers. She took a deep breath and began walking towards the Commodore.
Twenty feet away two Royal Marines were deep in conversation about their Commodore's current state. The larger of the two men, a Mr. Mullroy said, Do ya fink he just snapped? Went crazy ya know, after all he's seen some pretty nasty stuff since he's been in the Navy.
The smaller one, Murtogg shook his head, Naw, it just aint like him to go crazy. I'll bet you somefin bad had happened to him so he's upset or somefin.
Mullroy, still quite convinced that Norrington had gone mad turned his head to look at the Commodore and saw Elizabeth Swann approaching James.
Elizabeth had walked right up next to the Commodore but he didn't notice her until she quietly began, At which he jumped and turned around to face her but when he saw her his face fell, Oh it's just you he said.
Considering his current state of mind Elizabeth chose to ignore his last remark. What's going on? she asked making an effort to sound as concerned as possible, and placing a hand on his shoulder. he replied shortly, looking at his feet.
Onboard the H.M.S. Gadway Beatrice and Anya Norrington looked at the crowd on the docks. I wonder, said Anya aged thirteen, If there is always such an audience at every ships docking.
squealed Beatrice who although she was ten years looked at the oldest eight. I think that's him!
said Anya who stopped watching two bickering marines and began looking at the crowd again.
said Beatrice pointing at a man who in her opinion was wearing to much brocade for his own good.
How many times have I told you not to point! For God's sake Bea! It's really rude!, said Anya slapping Bea's hand down.
Anya turned around and began to watch with excitement in her eyes at the lowering gangplank. Bea stuck her tongue out at her sister's turned back and noticed a woman with her hand on James' shoulder. Wanting to point this out before her sister did she exclaimed, and in the process bit her still outstretched tongue. Her sister elbowed her in the ribs. Shut up! I'm trying to hear what they're saying, said Anya nodding in the direction of James and Elizabeth. Damn, though Bea as she looked out at the vast ocean behind her.
