Hi, here is an insanely short chapter so I'll upload another one.
For this story, I skip unimportant parts so the parts you read will be the essence. Sorry! After I saw the On Stranger's Tides, I dreamt of mermaids the next night. Haha.

ellaella: Cool, new reviewer. Thanks for taking the time. I really appreciate it.

Chapter four. Not... dead? July, 1695
Captain Norrington spotted a body on the seas.
He ordered the crew to sail towards the body, and he personally retrieved the body from the sea. It was a girl. The girl did not have any decent clothing on, only in her bodice. Was she taken advantage of? How could anyone do something like this to this girl? She looked frightened, and so hopeless. Unless, of course it was pirates who did this. His mouth curled in disgust and he began to hit her chest, trying to get her to spit water out.
She turned to the side and coughed water. At last, she sat up and looked down at her lack of clothing. She blushed a deep shade of red and Captain Norrington handed her his coat. "You all right, miss...?" He trailed off, clearly inquiring her name.
"Katherine. Katherine White." She answered quietly. The captain frowned. "The Whites... The former government's family? I thought they were raided by pirates 2 years ago. Everyone was killed..." He said. A ghostly smile appeared on her lips. "That's was they all thought. I was the youngest child. I ran away when they tried to tun after me."
"How did you... did pirates kidnap you?" He asked her. She shook her head. "No. It was I who joined them." The captain's face paled. "You... are a pirate?" He asked again. She laughed lightly, despite herself. "I joined the crew, because they were the very same crew who killed my family." She answered bitterly. Norrington nodded her head in sympathy. "So it is revenge you seek?"
She nodded. "I first joined their crew as a boy. I was close to getting revenge. I had my sword up to his neck, his on the floor. That was till I realized I had fallen in love with the bloody pirate. He ruined all my chances of avenging my family members. Why does love make you do stupid things?"
"You are in love with the Captain?" Norrington asked, curious of this mysterious girl's life. She nodded. "What was his name?" He asked. She looked up at him, into his eyes. Her face was serious. "Captain Jack Sparrow." She answered.
She smiled again. "You think you have saved me, captain, but you have not. When I get back, I will either be hanged, or I will starve to death in the streets." She said, becoming quiet as she went towards the end of the sentence. "You will not." Norrington's tone was sharp and serious. "I will have you very appropriately arranged to a family." He said. She looked at him in surprise. "Thank you."
Although that was what she said, she had not planned on staying sometime soon. She knew she had lost all means of living properly. Maybe she will go to Tortuga, lose her feelings for Jack, and start the revenge business all over again.
