Hey everyone! This is my first fan fiction story and I'm super excited about it. Tell me what you think by REVIEWS! I would love reviews! Who doesn't love reviews! Haha got a little off topic didn't I! Anyways I'll make this plainly and sadly clear I DON'T OWN ANYTHING THAT DEALS WITH PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN. But I do own Catherine Cali Bee Branson (what a name), Lieutenant Nathan Samuels, and icky Lucy Darmish. Haha you will know later on about her. Any who read, review and review!

Catherine paced the room trying to remember how she ended up in Port Royal. All she remembered is sailing with her parents to find her brother who managed to get himself in a predicament with Davy Jones himself. They where half way to their destination, when the ship they where sailing on had an unfortunate turn of events, but Catherine couldn't remember what actually happened. Pacing the elegant room that she was currently in, she keeps trying to rack her brain about what happened to her family. Suddenly the door handle starts to move and Catherine is startled out of her trance. Coming through the door was Governor Weatherby Swann with a shocked look on his face when he saw Catherine not in bed.

"Ah I see you have awakened?" Commenting on what he saw.

"Yes I have sir," she said not looking towards him. After a few minutes passed, she finally looked up to where Governor Swann was standing.

"Do you know where my parents are?" She asked hoping that he might know what happened to her family.

"My dear, when we rescued you, you where alone."

"That's not possible, they were with me when I was on the ship," her voice pleading and begging for him to be wrong.

"Then I'm so sorry dear, but they did not make it. When we found you, you where floating on a board across the ocean."

"But….I…no" Tears where now starting to form in her eyes. Seeing this Governor Swann moved forward and took her in his arms. Finally coming to her senses, she pulls back and crosses the room to stand at the window.

"My dear, do you have any other family in Port Royal? Anyone you can stay with?" He asked facing her direction.

"I-I-I…..don't have anyone else" as more tears started to fall from her eyes. Now Governor Weatherby Swann wouldn't have any of that, especially when this beautiful girl in front of him didn't have any parents left. He decided right then and there he was going to take the girl in and raise her as her second daughter. She was definitely younger than his Elizabeth but she couldn't be more than two years younger.

"My dear, you are welcome to stay with my daughter Elizabeth and I. I wouldn't mind having you stay in my house it's the least I can do since you don't have anyone else," Said the Governor.

"That is too kind of you sir and I wouldn't know how to pay you back for your hospitality and your gracious offer," said Catherine.

"Well let's get you dressed and I'll have a carriage drawn so we may show you around Port Royal and have a seamstress come and fix clothing for you. Shall we get going my dear?" He asked Catherine.

"Yes please, I would love to see Port Royal, but I must say you don't have to do the clothing, I insist that I am fine with what I have," she said waving her hands sideways to get him to stop him from objecting through her speech.

"Ah well it won't be a problem at all I must insist that this is to happen otherwise you will walk around in the same outfit forever. And we wouldn't want that to happen," he said to her. "Shall we go?"

"Yes we shall" she replied with a smile that had not been seen on her face since before the accident.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Catherine Cali Bee Branson~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FOUR YEARS LATER

"Cali, are you awake my dear? It's an important date and we must get you ready for it right away," said Governor Weatherby Swann on the outside of her door. He kept banging on it until she finally did get out of her bed and answers it.

As she opened the door, the maid Mary Anne came running in with a beautiful dress in hand ushering Catherine to her changing facility. Ever since she arrived in Port Royal she told everyone to call her Cali. She didn't know why she made everyone call her by her last name but she couldn't help but lie about her whole name. Someone might recognize her last name from her famous pirate father and Brother Robert and Jacob Branson. Two pirate names that when spoken send fear right into the darkest soul of a pirate, but telling this to the governor of Port Royal which was known for killing pirates on the spot, no that would have been her death right there. So she gave them her middle name and took the last name of Governor Swann.

After Mary Anne finished putting Cali into the beautiful dress, Mary Anne did Cali's hair and rushed her out of her bedroom.

As Cali was walking down the hallway she heard voices. Listening to the conversation that was happening in the front foray, she happened to see Governor Swann, Elizabeth and the black smith William Turner. She noticed the look on Williams face while he was watching Elizabeth describe the dream she just had of him when they first met. Having finally noticed Cali being on the top of the stairs Governor Swann turned and waved her down with a cheerful greeting.

"Cali, my dear, you look absolutely wonderful."

Elizabeth and Will finally noticing that she was in the room turned and looked at Cali and nodded their heads in agreement. Finally noticing the time Governor Swann ushered the girls out of the room into the carriage. As Cali was passing Will and Elizabeth, she heard Elizabeth say goodbye to Will very formally. Probably has to do with the fact that he refused to call her by her first name, which seemed, to get Elizabeth's knickers in a twist every time. But that doesn't seem to bother him because he is just trying to follow the line of status that Elizabeth follows in.

Cali was excited to get this ceremony over and done with. The past couple of months that's all she has ever heard about, Norrington getting this and Norrington are getting that. She wished that people would find something more appealing to past their time with not constantly talk about Capitan Norrington getting a promotion. Especially when she was with Nathan, her best friend since she arrived in Port Royal four years ago. He was in the navy next to Capitan Norrington but he wasn't as high up. He was a lieutenant and possibly one of the nicest guys she's ever met. He even taught her how to use a gun, but it was always when they were alone otherwise they would be in serious trouble for the fact that a women was learning to use a gun. Little did Nathan know that William was teaching her how to use a sword. Well more re teaching her how to use a sword since her father and brother did when she was younger.

As she was standing in the front with Elizabeth and Governor Swann she could hear the ceremony music start and the guards fling their guns up and prepare for the Capitan soon to be Commodore to begin his walk down the aisle. She swore she heard Elizabeth gasp for air like she was choking but that possibly couldn't be it. These damn corsets seemed to be squeezing her body tighter and tighter as she was breathing. If she wasn't going to get out of it that monstrous piece of clothing she was going to die due to loss of air. Looks like Elizabeth was having more trouble with it more than her. As the ceremony went on and on losing the attention of Cali once again, she continued to fan herself to get some air into her lungs.

In the party after the ceremony, Elizabeth and Cali were off to the side trying to figure out how much longer they both needed to stay at this boring party, they were interrupted by Commodore Norrington asking to speak with Elizabeth privately. So naturally Cali thought she would go and find Nathan. After looking around for a while she finally found him off to the side talking casually with Lucy Darmish. Lucy is the worst women Cali has ever met. She never was one to judge someone right off the hop but when she first met Lucy she couldn't help but secretly judge her while she talked about who would take her to bed and call her their bride. She was always talking about how many suitors she has and how many more she was getting. She never really did say who she wanted to married not that Cali really cared but she couldn't help but feel jealous of Lucy for having so many suitors. Even Elizabeth had men asking for her hand all the time. William being one who wishes he could have Elizabeth's hand in marriage. Just when Cali went to tap Nathan on the shoulder to let him know of her presence she heard Norrington scream Elizabeth's name. Seeing so many people running towards them Cali thought it best to start running in the direction of the docks and try and get there first before she was stomped down by the Navy.

CLIFF HANGER! But what will happen to Elizabeth, and how in the world can Cali run in that dress and corset and still be breathing…..or will she faint? These are the questions that make you wonder…lol just kidding. Review and you might possibly be able to get the next chapter. Maybe but if you must know I kind of want 5 reviews by the third chapter. Is that cool? Let me know.

Oh I must say I dedicate this whole story to the my beautiful Pip. LOVE YOU!

With lots of love,

Kate
