Chapter 2: A New Face in Town

Chica Kee-ka: Thanks for the review! Maybe he was once the captain, I never really thought of that. I will try to add more detail, next time around although I'm not great at adding details.

As the moon reflected on the calm waters, everything was still. Port Royal, a small town based in a harbor in the Caribbean was forever peaceful at night, since the pirates of the Black Pearl were caught. Now the town carried on as normal, while the "grand" commander Norrigton and his fleet sailed the seas capturing more pirates than ever before. Tonight they had fifteen pirates waiting for their execution, the next morning.

That's why Alex was here. Alex or Alexandra, as her mother would call her, glanced up the darkened street to make sure the coast was clear. The streets were quiet and still. After her mother has died, Alexandra cut her hair, bore men's clothing and had sailed the seas as a pirate, or a cabin boy as her crew was call her. She was known as Alex ever since. Her crew was kind enough to her, until they were caught. Then her "friends" more than willingly handed her over to a navy fleet.

After a year and a half in jail she had escaped, and hearing of the pirates held in Port Royal, she had come here to start her own fleet. As she walked quickly up the street she glanced at her wrist, which held the only reminder of her time spent in prison. A little tattoo in the letter "P". She rewound the cloth used as a covering wrap for her hand and more important, the tattoo, as she made her way to the pirates that will soon become her crew.

She looked up to the stars one last time before she stole away into the shadows to begin her long, thought out plan.
