POTC1: In a dream, on a ship long ago...

From Create Your Own Story

You stare out into the mist...the boat rocks beneath you...how did you get here...you've been here before...

You're a child, so long ago. You stare out across the water. They say there are pirates here. They scare you but excite you at the same time. So much more exciting than your father's stupid governorship...

Suddenly you see flames! A ship burning in the mist...and a boy floating in the water! You call for help and men come running, dragging the boy onboard. He's about your age, young and pretty, and something glints gold beneath his shirt... The men argue, they are afraid of what this might mean...while they talk you reach out quickly and grab the medallion off of the boy; you think he might be a pirate and you don't want them thinking he is for his saftey. Before you stow the medallion in your dress you catch a brief glimpse of it...it's beautiful and hideous with a skull grinning at you in gold...

You father touches you on the shoulder... "Elizabeth, watch him for a moment and call if he wakes up...the men and I need to talk..." They leave you speaking in harsh tones...you look down at the boy curiously. A pirate! How exciting... You brush his face with your hand...if only you could help him, he's so cold.

You rub his skin with your hands, his arms and chest, hoping to warm him up. You take off his shirt and try to dry him with a bit of your dress. His pants are very wet too...
