The Governors Daughter
The Easy Way Out
By: Isabelle Depp
Celeste was awake all night, waiting to sail away. Waiting to be far away from her problems. From her mom. From Elizabeth, from the Governor. From all the rich snobs surrounding her. At 4:45 she climbed out of bed. She rummaged through her closet looking for a good dress. She tried on her blue, her pink one, but picked out the red one. She knew Commodore Norrington fancied her as much as she did him, but the dress was icing on the cake. She found a maid and had her tie the corset. The maid was curious about what Celeste was doing awake but did say anything, fearing it would be to bold. Finally she slipped on her shoes and sneaked down the stairs out of the house. She walked down to the docks and looked for Commodore.
"Hello Commodore." Celeste whispered, coming up behind him. "Any chance I can ride with you to Port Smith? I've always wanted to visit there. I'll stay out of your way, I promise!"
The confused commodore agreed to let her sail with him, and told her to let her mother know where she was. She ran to the Governors house and up to her mom, who was just waking up to prepare the breakfast dishes.
"Mom! I'm going with the Commodore to Port Smith. It will be late when we get back, you'll probably be asleep. If you're in a sound sleep I'm not going to wake you." There, now no one would even realize she was missing until tomorrow morning. By then her and Jack would be far far away..
"Ok dear. Have fun" She whispered, still half asleep.
Celeste ran back down the stair to the port. It was already 5:50 and they were ready to set sail. She ran onto the boat and they lifted the anchor, and when they did, the whole boat shook. Celeste almost fell over. Just what she needed, to be the man overboard. From that point on, she decided not to go near the edge. If she feel out she'd be dead, her mum never taught her how to swim. She wandered around the boat for awhile looking for Commodore and exploring the ship. IT WAS HUGE. She found at least two kitchens and five cabins. Each cabin has 3 bunk beds, room for over 10 people. Celeste was amazed at how luxurious the ship was. The beds were made and they looked like they were just bought. The kitchen was sparkling and all the dished were spotless. The sofa in the "Living Room' was white, without a single stain on it. Even the sofas in the Governors place were dirty. Celeste sat on the clean white sofa, and fell asleep. She was awake buy water. WATER? She jumped off the sofa, eyes wide open, to find Norrington standing over her, smiling from cheek to cheek. She grinned, because he was so cute when he smiled.
"Sorry to wake you." He said, still grinning.
"It's ok. I didn't get much sleep last night; it gets so noisy in that place. How long till' we are there?"
"About that..." He said, a bit shaky.
"Are you ok? Is everything alright?"
"Yes of course." Commodore snapped. "We'll be there soon, you've been asleep quite awhile." But Norrington knew that it was a lie. There was a castaway on the ship and a storm was brewing right above them. Either way, they wouldn't make it to Port Smith. The only way to stay out of harms way would be to turn around. Unless...Yes, of course. Tourtuga was close, closer then Port Smith. He ran to the deck and told the crew his plan. Celeste followed him, hoping to find out what was wrong.
"Gentlemen!" Commodore yelled. "I have a plan. We will stop at Tourtuga, and find shelter until the castaway is killed and the storm has passed by."
'YES!' Celeste said to herself. This would be easier then she thought.
