In Her Eyes
Disclaimer: I do NOT own any characters from Pirates of the Caribbean, but I DO own any extra characters that are not mentioned in the movie. I also own the DVD (. If any of my characters are similar to someone you know it is entirely a coincidence.
Prologue
She sat on her bed, waiting, dreading the moment that would arrive all too soon.
"WHY did this have to happen? WHY?" she wondered, wishing with all her heart it was a dream.
Just yesterday she was happily living a life of an adopted child to the most skilled swordsman in the Caribbean. Just yesterday.
And just yesterday she found out the truth. She discovered her adopted father's health was failing him, and he would only live for a couple more weeks. Of course, this was the report a couple of weeks ago.
"I'm afraid I won't be around much longer. This estate would go to you, and shall you manage it well." He had said.
"Well, I won't be managing it. I'll leave this place behind, for it brings back too many memories. Find my fortune elsewhere and move on." She had loved him as family, and now, he was gone, as gone as the winds of time.
The funeral had been bad enough. Turns out that he had been planning this all along. It had rained hard, and few came. Only his closest friends were invited. She had to close his casket, and watch it lowered into the ground. It was all a shock.
She made up her mind soon, and called the one man who had his eye on their estate for quite a time. He paid her half that night.
The there was a knock on the door. Looking around for the last time, she put her final belongings into her trunk and headed downstairs. At the door was the estate's new owner, followed by a couple of carriages.
"Here's the last of your payments. Fare you well," he said, with pity in his eyes.
"Thank you." She walked out, hating that look, knowing pity was the worst thing anyone could give at this moment.
Looking back, tears started streaming out of her eyes...
her intense, violet eyes that will see so much suffering in the future and learn more than they could imagine.
Do you think it's a bit melodramatic? Some constructive criticism would rock...seeing as I'm new at this. Review plz!
