Chapter two- Getting used to it all
FLASHBACK (did I not say I was starting with one?)
Life was going well for Natalie. She was sixteen now, and Joseph had been a great father to her. Despite living with a wealthy man, Natalie didn't have the pressure of having to wear frilly dresses, go to teas, balls, banquets and act all proper. Natalie was able to wear pants and shirts, play in the mud, climb trees, and basically live how she wanted to. She had her friend Will Turner 'til the day he moved, but even after that life was great. All until the day Joseph told her they were moving.
"But Joseph! I don't want to leave here! My home and friends are all here!" Natalie said, trying to make sense of why they were moving all the way to somewhere called Port Royal.
"Natalie, you remember the day your father left don't you? What am I saying, of course you do. Anyway, you're father is in Port Royal, and I promised him that one day, I would take you to him. Tomorrow is that day."
"TOMARROW?!?!"
"Yes, I'm sorry for the short notice, but the only ship going from here to there, is sailing tomorrow." Natalie leaped up and slammed the door behind her.
Walking around the town, trying to cool off, she came to the empty apartment of what was once her best friend's house. She decided it wouldn't be that bad moving, because Will had left four years ago. Oh how she missed him. Maybe, one day she would see him again. Sighing, she went back home to pack what little belongings she owned.
THE END Of the flashback...
That was only six months ago. They moved right after her seventeenth birthday. Natalie could still remember everything about their home, every detail about the little town they had lived in. Unpacking all her things in the room of the Inn/ bar where they were staying, Natalie sighed. Later in the week, she would finally see her father again. How would he act? More importantly, how would she act? Joseph was out looking for a place to rent and a job for himself, because he was not going back to England. Yes apparently she came from england…anyway… Natalie was stuck in the small, drafty apartment with nothing to do. Tired of unpacking, Natalie decided to explore Port Royal. Despite the fact that she knew people would whisper and stare, she opened the door and decided she didn't care what people thought.
As she descended the stairs that led to the bar, she saw an oddly dressed man that had little beads and trinkets in his hair. ( WOOT GO JACK!) As Natalie stared at him, noticing how handsome he was, she did not look where she was going. Natalie tripped on a chair and fell into a drunk's lap.
" AWW LUV…I KNEW YA wan'ed me…but I didn think it was thissss much!" the drunk slurred pulling Natalie further into his lap.
"EEWW!! GET OFF MEE!!!" Natalie screamed desperately trying to free herself from his grasp.
"S'not me who's on you…now let's continue this ups'aires" he said pulling Natalie up, still with a firm grip on her waist and now her wrist.
"LET ME GO!" she screamed again
"Looks like the lady don't want what you're trying to give 'er there mate." ( I think I stole that from someone..sorry!) Natalie quickly turned to see where the voice has come from, only to be thrown to the floor from the force of the drunk also turning around. Natalie only saw a glimpse of the man who had spoken, but she recognized him as the handsome man with the beads and trinkets in his hair. Poor Natalie hit her head on a chair and went out cold. What she didn't see was the drunk push the man, and start a fight. Of course…the man with trinkets in his hair, being jack, won the fight. The drunk ended up sprawled across the floor.
JACK TIME! Or his...pov or whatever…
Carefully, as to not hurt her further, Jack picked Natalie up (princess style) and walked out of the bar to find something to do with her. "I've got a beautiful lass, out cold. What an interesting situation." He thought to himself, as he walked through the town. He new people were starring, but he didn't care. Ever since he had saved Elizabeth, Commodore Norrington let Jack go around Port Royal as a free man. Not knowing what to do with the poor girl, Jack ended up going to Will's shop. You all know the story of why they're friends...i don't think I need to go over it.
Kicking in the door, jack barged right into the shop.
"Jack! What're you doing here?"
"Well, actually I came here to visit you and Lizzie…" Noticing Will wince at the name Lizzie, Jack quickly stopped talking and put the girl down on the table.
"Is she another one of your…"girls" Jack?" Will asked with a little smirk on his face.
"No mate, this here be one I saw about to get raped, so I helped out. Poor thing went out cold, thought maybe you'd like to help." Will looked at Natalie. To him, she looked oddly familiar, put he couldn't place where he knew her from.
"Got any rum whelp?"
"JACK! You're not honestly thinking about drinking when there's a poor lifeless girl laying right here!"
"'O course not! I merely meant it for her wound." Jack said defensively pointing at the blood dripping down Natalie's head. "But of course, a little for me wouldn't hurt either" he added with a sly grin spreading across his face.
After cleaning Natalie's head, and wrapping it up, the guys kicked back and started talking and catching up. (arnt they nice? They just left her laying on the hard cold table…) After laughing about their adventure, getting the pearl back, and killing Barbosa, Jack's face grew solemn.
"So whelp, what happened with Elizabeth?"
"Apparently money and status was more important to her than love." Will said looking sadly at his feet.
"You mean, she wen' back with tha' creep NORRINGTON?!" Jack replied looking astonished. Instead of Will answering, they were interrupted by a cough. Jack looked to the table to see the girl sitting up, smiling at the boys.
"Can someone tell me what happened?" She said in a voice, that to Will and Jack, sounded angelic.
Now that Natalie was awake, they saw her full beauty. It was true that Natalie had grown a lot since when she was little. She had a perfect body and face. Her emerald green eyes captivated everyone and most women were envious of her long dark hair. Back in England, every said that she looked like her mother, and so Natalie never cared what people thought of her looks. She knew she was pretty, but didn't go boasting about it.
Noticing the guys still staring, she politely asked again what had happened. Jack, coming out of his trance, stammered and finally said "Ye hit your head, so I decided to help ye and brought you here, where…"
"…I fixed you up." Will finished for him. Natalie looked suspiciously over the boys, but decided since all her clothes were intact and her head was bandaged nicely that they were telling the truth. She also noticed that the man with the dark wavey hair looked very familiar
"I'm Natalie," she said holding out her hand. Jack lept to his feet taking her hand and kissing it.
"CAPTIAN Jack Sparrow at your service." He said looking her straight in the eye, which made Natalie blush. Still starring into each others eyes, Natalie looking into Jack's deep brown ones, and Jack looking into Natalie's bright green ones, they didn't notice will come up and give a loud "AHEM". Startled, Jack fell backwards, making will and Natalie laugh. "Her laugh sounds so familiar," Will thought to himself.
"Will Turner." Will said taking Natalie's hand and kissing it very lightly.
"Will…Turner??" she said, gasping as she said the name out loud.
"Yes, have we met before?"
"OH Will!" she said as she jumped up and hugged him. Will startled pushed her away. Jack, standing there with a puzzled look on his face, suddenly felt hurt. "Why didn't she give me a hug?" he thought silently...but then immediately countered that thought with another. "Does it really matter? You just met her! Its not like you're in love…" Jack laughed out loud of the thought of him actually being in love. Looking up, Jack saw that both Natalie and Will were starring at him. Laughing and looking back at each other, Will finally realized where he knew Natalie from.
"NAT?! NATALIE CARTER?!?!?" he exclaimed pulling Natalie into a big hug.
When Natalie's father had left, she had taken Joseph's name as her own. But now, now that she was going to be with her father again…she had to let Will know her for who she was.
"Will, its so good to see you, but my name isn't Natalie Carter. Joseph was my foster father. My real father is here in Port Royal and I've come here to find him. My real name is Natalie Swan. My father is Wetherby Swan."
"Hold on sec," Jack said pulling them apart from each other. Then looking directly at Natalie, Jack said "You're related to ELIZABETH?!?!?!"
"Elizabeth?" Natalie whispered out…
HEHEE I LOVED writing this chapter!!! It was funn!!! Heres what you shoulda gotten outta it. 1) jack and will both really like Natalie, cuz she's so awsome. 2) Will has an EXTREMELY bad memory seeing as he couldn't remember Natalie after being friends with her for HALF HIS LIFE! 3) Natalie has no idea she has a sister, and has not yet discovered that her dad is GOVENER! And 4) I'm really cool and you should all review so I'll update sooner. SAVVY?
