Prologue


Dear James,

I do hope when you receive this letter gets to you are well. For the reason I write you this letter my son. It is because Francesca wishes to visit you in Port Royal. I do not know the reasons as to why she wishes to visit. Nevertheless, she is quite insistent and since your father so willingly giver her, her own way, which undoubtedly I am most certain that she will get, as always, therefore you are to expect her in a couple of weeks. Not to mention, you will have plenty of time to arrange all the necessary preparations for her arrival. Aside from missing her older brother, as you very well know she had. This visit will give her an opportunity to socialize with other people of London society that have settled there. Perhaps she may even find a suitor to her liking, as well, which I may also say she very much indeed needs to find. However, do not mention that to your sister, or else she will think that I have put you up to one of my schemes. Furthermore, there is another reason in which I wish for your sister to go to Port Royal. There is something bothering your sister and I do not know what it is for I have never been in her confidence. However, I do wish for you to find out. After all, she does you very much. For whatever grieves her you will be a better comfort…than I ever will be. Your father wishes to sends his greetings and hopes you are doing well.

Your loving mother,

Margaret Norrington

James Norrington looked over the letter he had received a few days ago from his mother. He was not sure whether he should be overjoyed at the thought of his younger sister visiting or worried at what could happen with her here. As much as he loved his younger sister, she always had a flair for getting herself into some kind of trouble or other. So he hoped while she visited nothing unexpected would occur. Especially since, she could be full of so many surprises. However, he did miss her very much and always wished he could see her often. Now he would have his opportunity to do so. He just hoped though that this visit would be a good one. Even though, James could not shake off the feeling that something was going to happen and that it would change things as it were for he knew what Francesca was like and with her, anything could happen. It was times like this it would amaze him at how opposite in personality they were. Since he was always so serious, orderly, and practical about how things should be. Whereas, Francesca was carefree, compassionate, intelligent, and quite headstrong. She also had to have things go her way always. James knew whatever man married his younger sister would have to know how to handle her. Although there was, one thing that always worried James Norrington about his favorite sister.

She liked pirates.

Ever since she was a young child the tales of pirates had fascinated her and did not help the matter either that as horrible as they were she actually thought they were decent (even though she did know that some were evil). Perhaps that was due to her closeness with one individual that would be better left unmentioned. Therefore, putting that particular thought out of his mind and he decided if there was one thing, James Norrington swore to do right it would be to keep his younger sister away from any pirates and it did not to him which pirate it was he wanted to keep them all away from his sister. In his mind, a pirate's life was not a decent living for any person and if he had any thing to do with it, his sister would not be corrupted by that foolishness.

Ever!

However, little did he know that fate would be conspiring against him and soon enough he would be doing some thing that he would never have done willingly. The arrival of his sister was just the beginning of this journey and soon enough the arrival of others would only push him further down that path in which he swore he would never go. Furthermore, this journey will take its course and each one will find their truth path along it.


A/N: However, I do own Francesca Norrington, and any other character that appears later on. What does anyone think? Should I continue this story, or should just forget about it. What do you say? Review to tell me. All right!
