Pirates of the Caribbean, Rated T, Romance/Adventure, Jack S.
The New Governor's Daughter by Mrs. Sparrow
Chapter 1
Isabelle Northwood
I stood at my balcony looking out over Port Royal. After another heated argument with my parents over piracy, they decided to lock me in my room, only allowing my maid Lucinda Kentworthy to enter. I have always been fascinated with pirates. I heard tales of them from other children because my parents would never tell me. One particular pirate astonished me. The infamous Captain Jack Sparrow and his precious Black Pearl. Lucinda told me stories because her parents told them to her before bedtime.
As the new governor's daughter, I was supposed to be against piracy and attend hangings. I protested to my father, Governor Richard Northwood, but he ignored me. I even went to my mother, Lady Victoria Northwood, but that only made things worse. She confronted Father and held a family meeting in the parlor. My older sisters, Gabrielle and Danielle, voted against me. That's how I ended up in my room.
I was so deep in thought that I didn't hear Lucinda silently enter. "Are you alright, Izzy?" Lucinda asked gently. Lucinda was the only person who ever called me Izzy, and I let her. I even called her Lucy in return. "Haven't you heard, Lucy? I'm being punished because I didn't attend the hanging today," I sadly replied. "I wish there was something I could do to help," Lucinda said as she held my hand. "Captain Jack Sparrow was scheduled to be hung weeks ago, but made a miraculous escape, if that helps."
Little did Lucinda know, it helped loads. "That's it! You are a genius, Lucinda Kentworthy! Absolute genius!" I exclaimed. "What did I say?" Lucinda inquired confusedly. "According to my sources, Captain Jack Sparrow is frequent in Tortuga. I have to leave and I'm taking you with me!" I responded cheerfully. "Wait! Why me?" she practically yelled. "Because it was your idea, you have to come with me! Now let's pack, we leave tonight," I stated proudly.
We were bound for Tortuga.
Chapter 2
Captain Jack Sparrow
I was sitting my cabin aboard the Black Pearl when my first mate, Joshamee Gibbs, entered to inform me that we are a few days away from Tortuga. After an accident at sea, we lost a few crew members and were going to the Faithful Bride to gain a few more. I was charting a course for a journey in the Atlantic Ocean, but me compass wasn't working right so I shut it and left his cabin to for wheel duty.
"Squawk, Wind in the sails. Wind in the sails," Cotton's Parrot squawked when I took over the wheel. Steering my precious ship made me feel at peace and calm me nerves. There was a light wind that night and helped cool me off after blistering heat earlier today. I have not been in Tortuga for months and felt like I was missing my city. It would feel good to be back.
I just knew it.

Lucinda and I decided to barter passage onto the Enchantress. We've been on the Galleon for 2 days. We heard crew members talk about reaching Tortuga the next day. While hiding in a tiny cabin below deck, we discussed a plan. "I think we should tell him we're sisters just in case he asks," I told her. "We will use my last name and shorten our first names so he won't know who we are," Lucinda told me. "Belle and Lucy Kentworthy have a ring to them. I like it!" I stated pleasantly.
We dozed off shortly after that. Lucinda awoke to the loud cry, "Land ho!" She was jumping with excitement. "Izzy, we arrived in Tortuga!" She exclaimed. We packed briskly and ran off when the ship made port.
This was going to be interesting.
