PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
Chapter one
The Swann residence
In a secluded area, a good distance away from the center of the town lived the Swann family. It was quiet part of town were most of the rich people lived. The mansion was huge; it was two stories high with a basement for the heating and water. The house was the traditional style of that day, baroque, with the classic arches and pillars, beautiful handcraft detail on the ledges and steeply roofs. They had a big backyard; an orchard. They were situated very close to the beach, a ten-minute walk from their estate. Most of their time was spent over there, just sitting on the sand or playing around in the water. Plainly enjoying the nice cool breeze and the tropical atmosphere.
Just taking a day to lie peacefully on the shore, close to the palm trees for shade, and relax beside the calm sea and refreshing breeze. My…. my …anyone would gladly live or give anything to reside in this paradise. Relaxing on the sands, the sounds of waves lulling you softly to sleep…. oh sweet sleep…
« JADEITE!!!!! COME BACK HERE YOU SCHEMING LITTLE BRAT!! » yelled the poor and drenched Mina from her little wet spot on the floor. She ungracefully fell from her bed, due to the plain fact that her brother dumped, for the second time this week, a bucket full of cold and dirty seawater onto her head. She got up soaked, onto her feet, and started slowly building into a run towards that all to familiar laughter that was still ringing through the halls.
« That asshole isn't gonna escape me once again » she muttered to herself « Ohh no, not again » she repeated « not AGAIN YOU HEAR ME!!!! » She flew out of her chamber door, slid down on the rail of the spiral staircase, got off on the main floor and started sprinted towards the sound of his retched voice.
-
Jadeite was laughing his way down the stairs to the kitchen. Oh this was so much fun. He got to wake up his sister three times this week for sleeping in too late. Once, with blaring music, and twice with the bucket of dirty seaweed water. Now she is on one of her typical raging rampages, might I also add dangerous ones, after his head.
« Not AGAIN YOU HEAR ME! » yelled Mina furiously.
Oops, I had better start running now.
Thud!
Crap, she is already on the main floor. I need to start hurrying before she catches me.
He started sprinting through the kitchen towards the backdoor his home free zone. Because he knew, his sister wouldn't come out in only her nightgown. Ladies don't do that, it's improper.
Yeah, well, that's what he thought.
He looked back right when he was about to go through the door, that's when he saw his disheveled sister appear on the other side, or the entrance, looking royally pissed. Time slowly came into a standstill when his azure eyes slowly locked with her glaring cornflower ones. Then all hell broke loose.
-
Mina was looking frivolously everywhere for her stupid brother. Dammit, I have to find him soon before he escapes me again. Then suddenly an idea came to her, he must be in the kitchen, going for the backdoor. Crap! She sprinted towards the kitchen and walked in, looked up and locked gazes with her mischievous brother. Time slowdown considerately, until she made a mad dash toward the fool, out for his head.
-
The moment he saw his sister dash at him madly, was the moment he really, I mean REALLY, started running for his bloody life. Out the backdoor, through the patio, tripping down the many steps and awkwardly sprinting round the corner (due to his fall on the steps) towards the gardens at the front of the house, or in this case to safety.
-
Seeing through her brother's escape route, Mina went outside on the patio throughout the kitchen window on the side facing the front of the house. Outside she attempted the most riskiest jump ever in her life, to intercept the BASTARD, she long-jumped off the patio which was four meters above ground and flew out two meters to land or rather tackle her brother roughly to the ground.
-
« Almost there » he panted « nearly (breath) to (harder breath) safety. » And ALMOST, he indeed was, until…
-
(In the air)
« HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! » she laughed evilly. I'm gonna make it!
-
Poor poor unsuspecting Jadeite. The idiot never saw it coming. He got more than tackled, that's right, he got SMASHED (rather painfully might I add) to the ground with his face greeting the soil first.
« Owowowowow, Mi-nah, that really really hurt! » he whined while getting up slowly and stiffly.
Slightly disoriented from the tackle, Mina got up a little to fast on her wobbly legs. « Serves you right you idiot for dumping filthy water all over me!! » she yelled. Her whole body felt numb, damn, her brother was like a goddamn rock! Man, she was definitely going to find bruises all over her body the next day, or most likely in the next couple of hours.
« Your soooo mean! I was doing you a favor. Geeeez my face is killing me. » he cried rubbing his hurt jaw and swollen cheek due to his (ahem) unfortunate fall. ()
« What kind of a favor are you talking about? It is absolutely no crime to sleep in. I need my beauty sleep!! » she rebuked angrily.
« You retard, it's lieutenant Norrington's promotion today! Or, have you forgotten! » he barked back.
« So what, sleeps more important!!! (She stuck out her tongue) I'll…I'll…I'll just congratulate him at the after party or later, does it really matter. » Oops! She completely forgot about that. Still, it does not justify the fact that he dumped nasty seawater unceremoniously on her head. That's soo gross she thought. Ill get him back, one day I tell ya.
« You're so forgetful. It served you right getting that water dumped on your head!! Dummy!!! (Sticks out his tongue childishly too) »
« No it doesn't!! » she cried. « Just look at me, my nightgown is dirty, my hair's filthy and I FEEL SOOO STICKY!!!! »
« You'd better hurry up if you don't want a certain someone to catch you in this… ahem… disgraceful state. »
« What do you mean... »
It didn't take her too long to figure out who he was talking about. Because that certain tall white haired sword smith was unconsciously walking towards them, holding a long package in his hand. Eyes looking down at the floor, the guy was obviously unaware of where he was headed. Before she and he knew it, he accidentally bumped into her while muttering things to himself.
Oomph!! (AN: I know cool sound affects… rrright lame moving on)
Mina brain started slowly registration her fall until a pair of strong arms caught her in the nick of time. Mina looked up and locked eyes with those soft lavender ones of her good friend, Kenneth Turner. She blushed at the embarrassment she faced because of her present state of dress and look. Crap do I smell. She blushed even redder. Oh My GOD! Please god let me smell like heavenly flowers right now. Hahaha you wish was her conscience's answer. Oh, screw you she bit back.

(Kenneth P.O.V.)
I'm so STUPID!! He mentally berated himself. How could I bump into …MINA of all people. (He caught her) Oh lord, (he gulped) she is so beautiful. He suddenly locked eyes with her. Those are such beautiful cornflower blue eyes, I feel so drawn into them. He started unconsciously coming closer to her. Shit!! What am I doing? He blushed. Crap, I'm losing it. Geez I'm gonna start sweating for christ sake. What am I thinking, the governors daughter. People like me can never be able to be with her, nor could you provide for her either said his mean little conscience. He sighed sadly. I'm just hurting myself even more then I already have.
-
Woo…there! Why is my heart beating so much faster? And, why does he have to look so darn good right now. Hey, she asked herself dreamily, why are we getting closer…
Kenneth suddenly pulled back and released her. Mina felt so cold then and there. She missed the warmth his body provided. Don't let go.
-
Jadeite was laughing at the two of them. He chuckled softly when he saw their reaction and blushing due to their little « tumble ». They're so dumb. It's been like this since we were kids. Geez, and the funny part is that they don't realize that they like each other. He decides to break the tension and uncomfortable emotions these two toddlers might be feeling.
« Hey Ken! Nice to see you again. How is business back at the smith? » asked Jadeite.
« Ah, doing just fine Jed. » Man, I'm losing it.
« Are you still stuck doing all the work while that ass goes out and gets piss ass drunk? »
« Ya, but most of time he just sits in a chair already drunk in the morning. He stays that way all day. I do all the orders and he gets all the credit, because he is the bloody owner. Damn him, he was such a good man when his wife was still alive. Taught me everything I knew about forgery. (He sighed.) Ms. Robinson would be horrified if she knew how he is like today. She was like a mother to me, taught me how to be a gentleman. Oh yeah, your mom too. »
The memories of his early childhood started to come back, flooding his all to preoccupied mind.
I miss the good those days. When Jed and me use to play all day at his house. Play on the big old tree in Jed backyard. It was the perfect spot to build a tree house, right on the beach facing the sea. I remember that year we built it, like the back of my hand. It took us four months to build that, and steal a whole lot of money from Jed's dad the governor. He never really liked me and hated when Jed hung out with me, but he got use too it, and just finished by ignored me. The governor never approved of the tree house so we were forced to steal cash for operation PIRATE. I know it sounds cheesy and stupid but it is what we use to call it because we would always play that. Jed and me would be the pirates and Mina would be the odd character in our adventure. We had different adventure almost everyday, so she would be always different people. Sometimes she was the British Navy, other times and evil sea monster or a damsel in distress. She really liked playing the last part, I don't know why. It was probably to annoy Jed because she'd be the one in charge of the adventure this time and not him. He would always be mad at the end of it and mutter girls, cooties, and bossy cat. I always had no problem because I loved saving her, because I'd be the rescuer all the time.
Jed would invest all his money on the tree house, and me what I could. Jed's mom always gave us money, secretly for it. She liked me and taught me everything that Jed was learning at the time. Like manners, dancing and how to become a proper gentleman of Jed's social standard.
.:Flashback:.
Summer 1681
A twelve year old Ken and Jadeite were running out of the Swann's residence.
« Good luck boys with operation PIRATES! » cried out Ms. Swann the governors wife. « And be careful too!! »
« Argh! Don't worry mom. » yelled chubby little Jeddy.
« Thanks for the lessons Ms. Swann! » cried out a skinny little Kenneth.
« No problem Mr. Turner, don't forget one..two..three…one …two…one…two and always look up when you step! Because you tend to stumble. » reminded the elegant mother.
« I'll keep that in mind all the time! » reply Ken.
« You make sure of that, bye boys! » she waved and went back indoors.
« And I'll keep that in mind » said Jeddy in a tone mimicking his friend. « Geezzzz, stop sucking up to my mother like that dude. » he snickered.
« Shut up! » said an irritating Ken. « I'm only being polite. »
« Ya well, your making me look bad. »
« That's your fault. »
« No, it's YOURS. »
« NO, yours! »
« YOURS! »
« YOURS! »
.:End of Flashback:.
Ah… the good old days. Those times always made me feel like I truly belonged to a family. I have been an orphan since I was just a lad, 8 or 9 years old when they found me that foggy day on the Dauntless. I don't remember much, only that my mom loved me and my dad too. I can't ever recall seeing my dad. My mom always used to tell me stories about him, she said that he was a hardworking and honorable trades merchant.
« Oh, I'm so sorry Kenneth. » said Mina breaking Ken off his train of thought.
« That's alright Miss. Swann » he said quickly when he saw the…

In the heat of the day, out upon the sea, sailed a lone sailor with his small but crafty one-man sailboat. He was standing on top of the mast that was holding the sail, grabbing onto the end part of the mast, with the flags attached to it, for balance. He seemed to be going nowhere in particular, just looking out with his dark blue, kohl lined, eyes for the nearest port or town. He was a gorgeous specimen of a man; the light breeze was fluttering away his dreadlocks and tickling his sun kissed face. The ornaments and beads breaded into the dreadlocks at the front of his face were jingling merrily from the wind. A red bandanna wrap around his head held most of his black hair back; on top, he was sporting a worn out, leather, tricorne hat. He was quite tall and his ensemble consisted of brown leather coat, white shirt with a vest, black breeches and brown boots. Around his waist were a dirty sash and a belt containing a cutlass, a compass and a pistol containing one bullet.
Taking out his trusty compass, he looked upon it pointing west. Closing it, he smiled. Out on the horizon, towards his right you could see a small speck of land. Slowly getting bigger and bigger. He took out his flask filled with rum and drank from it. Then he started to softly singing a melody.
"We're devils and black sheep, really bad eggs! Drink up me 'earties, Yo Ho… Yo Ho, Yo Ho! A..." takes another drink from his flask, " …life for me."

Who is this mysterious guy? I think you know. If I get some reviews, I will hurry up and finish the rest so I can post the second part quickly. Please review and give me some feedback!
By the way, Mina Swann is Elizabeth Swann and Kunzite is William Turner. Jadeite is the added character to my story. That is if you were, you know, 'just wondering' or if you were maybe a little confused. Just to remind people its an Alternate Universe fic and I'm not gonna entirely stick to the movie, there will be a lot of variations and such. So, don't expect it to be the same as the movie.
Anyway, please review; it is very important to me for people, like you, to kindly give me some feedback. Thanx a bunch. Bye.
