Ahem…..
" And you found her on a beach you said?"
" Yes Sir, She was lying on the beach, she seemed to have drifted from a shipwreck, I think she drifted from the shipwreck that you saw."
" It is possible… Elizabeth found a parasol on the water, perhaps it belonged to her."
The Two people stood over Hope; they were Governor Swann and a maid. They were also accompanied by the Governor's daughter; Elizabeth Swann.
" Father," Elizabeth started. " She seems so weak, can we let her stay? Until she recovers completely."
" Elizabeth, I know you have good intention but what if she is the daughter of a pirate?" The governor answered.
" Father please!"
Hope was already awake and listened to what they said. Everything was going according to plan. Soon she would wake up and pretend she didn't remember anything.
" Elizabeth – "
That was her cue. Hope groaned and opened her eyes slowly, seeing Governor Swann, Elizabeth, the maid, and apparently Commodore Norrington was there aswell. Elizabeth sat on the bed beside Hope.
" Where am I?" Hope asked, pretending to be scared and nervous as she sat up quickly.
" You are in Port Royal, In our household. I am Elizabeth Swann. We're going to take care of you. What's your name miss?"
" Hope…I think."
" You think?" Commodore Norrington asked.
" I, I don't remember…. I can't remember anything…"
Elizabeth spoke up " Well Hope, you can stay with us as long as you'd like. And for that time, you will be a Swann."
" Eli-"
" AND, you shall be tutored with me by the best teachers there are."
" T-thank you…"
" You are very welcome! Now you are Hope Swann." And with that Elizabeth stood up and walked out, her father and the commodore following. 'that was easy' Hope thought. ' too easy…'
"Elizabeth what the devil do you think you are doing?" The governor asker her after they had left the room.
" Father I offered her a home! If she was on the shipwreck then where is she going to go? She's weak father! Look we will watch her moves and if she is not what she says she is then we shall do whatever you intended on doing. All right?"
The governor sighed. "All right, that's fair enough. But if she slips up once maybe even twice we shall get rid of her immediately and send her to the bakery understand?"
" Yes father, and thank you. "
Hope Rickman was now Hope Swann, Oldest daughter of Governor Swann. Age 16. Oh how great It was being rich, well she already knew about this but still; She felt like part of a family now. Her maid was currently dressing her; the corset was already on. It was a new thing she would try, although she didn't understand why. After a lot of groaning and ranting on about how much it hurt she was sat down so the maids could fix her hair. Her maid, Anna, was about to put makeup on her face until…
" Don't you dare go near me with that…" Hope threatened as she glared at her.
" Yes ma'am begging your pardon." And with that the two maids retreated her room. Hope looked in the mirror and slightly smiled. She stood up and walked to her balcony, she admired the scenery, it was better than that of the other room. Hope looked down to the streets and saw someone familiar. Jack Sparrow. He was talking to a village girl apparently, lets see what he does if she calls out his name.
" Mr. Sparrow! Jack Sparrow!" She called out waving.
Jack was in the middle of wooing a young village lass when he heard his name being called out. He looked up and saw her. It was the eldest daughter of Governor Swann. His mind left the village girl and waved back to Hope. He suddenly ran off, running toward her front door. He tried fixing his hair and knocked on her door. Wait…fixing his hair? Jack Sparrow doesn't fix his hair for a girl…The butler answered.
" Yes, who might you be?" he asked.
" I'm Jack Sparrow, I'm here to see Miss Swann."
" Which one?"
" The eldest, Hope."
"I am sorry but I do not think that Miss Swann wishes to see you"
" Look I really don't give a rat's arse what you think. Let me see her now."
Hope was confused when Jack ran off…"he probably ran after that girl. " She thought " Oh Well.." She walked out of her room and heard arguing, it sounded like Charles, the butler and…Jack Sparrow? She walked as quickly as she could to the top of the stairs and regained her composure, walking slowly down as if nothing were the matter. " What's going on?" She simply asked, she looked at Jack and smiled. " Jack! What are you doing here? Charles Let him in. " When she reached the bottom of the steps she walked towards Jack. Charles had closed the door as soon as Jack stepped in and walked away.
" I came to visit ye'. Hope ye' don' mind." Jack answered.
" No, I don't. It's been a while since I've last seen you. How have you been?"
" I've managed."
" I noticed. Was that a girl you are courting? The one I saw you with?"
" Her? No that's just the baker's daughter."
" Oh."
" Yes, would ye' like to come take a walk with me?"
" Um…Sure. If we get back before lunch. Father will be furious if he found out I were missing."
Jack smiled and opened the door for her. Hope took a parasol and stepped outside into the sun. Jack closed the door and stuck out his arm for her to hook on to. Hope did and they made their way out to the village.
