Keira woke up and walked to the mirror on the other side of her room at the Turner's house. She smiled at her reflection in the mirror. It had been three weeks since Will Turner had apprenticed her. She now looked like a pretty young lady, instead of the dirty girl from Singapore. Her once curly, unruly hair was still a little bit curly but more so strait and tamed.
"Keira, are you up?" William III called from outside her door.
"Aye, just give me a moment to get ready." She called back. Quickly, she pulled on a pair of trousers, a form-fitting shirt, and her black boots. The she brushed her hair and pulled it back into a braid. She opened her door and walked outside it.
"You look nice today Keira." William said. Keira blushed.
"Ye always say that." Keira said.
"It's always true. You're very beautiful Keira." William smiled. Keira blushed even more. William grabbed her hand as they walked down the stairs.
"Keira, we are going to visit Elizabeth's father today and we want you to come with us." Will said as the two sat down.
"Oh…. I never been to the Govenor's mansion before…." Keira muttered.
"It's really nice Keira and I think grandfather will like you." William smiled.
"But, you do have to drop your pirate way of speaking. I will have to get you some proper clothes as well." Elizabeth smiled.
"You don't have any here that would fit her, Elizabeth." Will said.
"She'll have to go to the mansion in what she's wearing." William said.
"I believe we were the same size when I was her age." Elizabeth nodded.
"Come on then, to Grandfather's house we go!" William and Keira bolted out the door to get the horses ready.
"I wonder when he's going to start courting her?" Will smiled at the two young adults.
"I hope it's soon. Boys are starting to take an interest in Keira. If William doesn't act fast she'll be gone." Elizabeth sighed. After the ride to the mansion, the Governor was waiting outside as the four got out of their carriage.
"Elizabeth, you look amazing!" Governor Swann greeted his daughter.
"Thank you, father." Elizabeth hugged her father.
"Will, just the same as ever." He greeted his son-in-law.
"And to you sir." Will shook hands with him.
"William, you've grown. How are you doing, my boy?" The Governor smiled at his grandson.
"I'm doing better than I was three weeks ago." William smiled with a twinkle in his eye.
"And who is this fine young lady? I do not believe we have met before." The Governor asked Keira.
"I'm Keira, Keira Garside." Keira half-lied.
"She's my apprentice blacksmith, sir." Will said.
"Interesting, I have never known a female blacksmith. Where are you from Miss Garside?" The Governor asked.
"Singapore, I'm from Singapore, sir. My mum was from London and my dad's English, but I do not know where he's from." She replied quickly.
"I notice you speak of your mother in past." Mr. Swann said.
"She became sick and her health went down until she passed." Keira replied quickly.
"Oh I'm sorry to hear that. Did your father send you here?" Mr. Swann asked.
"I never met my father, but he's either a sailor or a pirate. I know he left my mother in Singapore, but that's pretty much all I know about him. I came here of my own accord, and, well, the sailors did recommend coming here." Keira smiled.
"Well we can discuss what has been going on in all of your lives over supper, come on in." Mr. Swann said.
"Hello Missus Turner, 'ow are you doing?" one maid greeted her.
"I'm doing very well, thank you. Will you accompany me and Keira so that she may attain some more suitable clothes?" Elizabeth smiled.
"Of course." The maid replied.
"Keira is very beautiful, albeit somewhat familiar." Mr. Swann smiled at the three women.
"Yeah…" William sighed wistfully.
"You fancy her don't you William?" Mr. Swann asked.
"Yeah, but I don't think she likes me the same way." He mumbled.
"She does, you just need to show her you do." Will put a hand on his son's shoulder.
"I wanna marry her. I'd have to ask you right?" William looked up at his father.
"You have to ask her, since she makes her own decisions." Will shook his head.
"Are you all right Keira?" Elizabeth asked.
"Who the bloody heck came up with this?" Keira swore as the corset was tightened.
"Apparently some people in London did, Miss." The maid supplied.
"BLOODY LONDONERS!" Keira swore.
"K-Kei-Keira, you look beautiful…." William stuttered.
"Thank you, William." She replied.
"Yes, come, let's talk out in the garden." Mr. Swann said.
~Later That Night~
Captain Adrian Davis looked out at Port Royal.
"Find Sparrow's daughter and bring her to me, understand? I want her alive!" he snarled.
"What about anyone that gets in our way? And the loot we could get?" the crew asked.
"Kill them, take whatever you can find. Go!" he smirked.
"So… umm…. Will you marry me Keira?" William asked.
"Yes!" Keira threw her arms around William's neck.
"Will! William! Keira! There's pirates raiding Port Royal!" Elizabeth screamed. The four looked at each other.
"William, take Keira and hide, Elizabeth and I will keep them away from you." Will said. William nodded. They ran and before they could hide pirates burst into the room.
"Parley! We invoke the right of Parley." Keira shouted.
"According to the code of the Brethren, set down by the pirates Morgan and Bartholomew, you have to take us to your captain." William said quickly.
"We know the Code!" one pirate snarled.
"If an adversary demands parley you can do them no harm until the parley is complete." Keira and William said at the same time.
"To blazes with the code!" another pirate shouted.
"They want to be taken to the captain. And they'll go without a fuss. We must honor The Code." Another pirate grinned evilly. The pirates pulled the two after them.
"Father! Mother!" William shouted as he saw his parents fighting pirates in a street.
"William! Keira!" They shouted before they were knocked unconscious.
"Capatain, we brought ye something." The pirates grinned. Captain Adrian turned to look at them.
"We have come to asked you to leave Port Royal and never come back, savvy?" Keira demanded with a fire in her eyes.
"What are your names?" Adrian chuckled.
"William Turner III, son of the Pirate Lord Alexander Tyler." William snapped.
"Keira Sparrow, apprentice blacksmith of William Turner Jr." Keira growled.
"What are your terms, Miss Sparrow?" Adrian smirked.
"Leave Port Royal and never come back, spare the citizens, savvy? Oh, and return us to shore." Keira smirked.
"I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request. Means "no." Shove off lads, make for the seas!" Adrian smirked. The crew hurried to do as he ordered.
"You can't do that!" William shouted, "What about the Code?"
"William, you have to be a pirate for the code to apply, you're not. Also, they're more like guidelines instead of rules." Keira sighed.
"You are though!" William shouted.
"I never pursued a pirate's life! Just because me father's a pirate doesn't mean I'm a pirate! Yer father's a pirate, are ye one?" Keira asked.
"I thought you said you didn't know who your father was!" William gasped.
"Aye he's a pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow." Adrian smirked.
"YE WANT ME TO USE AGAINST HIM!" Keira screamed at Adrian.
"Welcome to The Cursed Raider, Miss Sparrow, Mr. Turner." Adrian smirked and walked away.
~THE NEXT MORNING~
"Turner, wake up lad." Captain Hector Barbossa shook Will awake.
"William! Keira!" Will gasped as he bolted up and started to look around wildly.
"What happened here, lad?" Barbossa asked.
"There was a pirate raid last night, they carried off my son and my apprentice, and knocked me and Elizabeth out." Will sighed.
"Come on then, we'll go to me ship and start looking fer them. Elizabeth is all ready down at the docks." Barbossa led Will to his ship.
"Jack is going to kill me…" Will groaned.
"Why is that?" Barbossa raised his eyebrow.
"I lost his daughter, my apprentice; he's going to kill me even though he doesn't know she existed…" Will groaned.
"Today is not your day is it?" Barbossa chuckled.
hhhhhhh
