"A sea of rum couldn't intoxicate me as much as a drop of you."
Bonnie Swann, naive younger sister to Elizabeth Swann and daughter of the governor, has always contained a shy and timid nature, too shy to truly speak her mind, yet she yearns for adv...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I'm sorry, Jack." Bonnie apologised, as the four sat in the rowing boat. Elizabeth and Bonnie and to break the news and tell him that the Pearl had gone without him. Bonnie felt awful, her brows tilted upward and her eyes were glossy for what awaited Jack when they reached Port Royal.
"They done what's right by them. Can't expect more than that." Jack blankly said. He sounded upset, and all Bonnie could do was just rest her head on his shoulder. He looked down at her and kissed the side of her head, exhaling a long sigh through his nose.
Jack couldn't die. It couldn't end like this for him. But he sounded so defeat. Like he was surrendering, Bonnie's heart ached as she looked up at him. She would give anything just to reach into his mind and see what he was thinking.

As they sailed on the Dauntless to return to Port Royal, Bonnie was scolded by her father to take off all the gold she forgot she was wearing. She obliged, and handed them over to the Commodore, who confiscated it all from her and Jack. All apart from one necklace that Bonnie hid inside her shirt. The necklace Jack gave her with his initials carved into it.
Once they reached Port Royal, Bonnie was forbidden from seeing Jack. Norrington had snitched her into her father, voicing his suspicions on her feelings towards the pirate. Bonnie kicked and cried, as she was dragged into her room by two guards, followed by her maids.
"I apologise, Bonnie, but this is for your own good!" Her father yelled behind the door of her bedroom. "Father, please! You can't hang him!" Bonnie thrashed around, as she sobbed at the door, sinking to her knees.
"How could you allow yourself to fall for such a despicable man?!" The Governor scoffed. Bonnie grew furious. Who was he to state that Jack was a bad man? How could he be? Jack treated her kindly, he was a good man in the appearance of a pirate.
It didn't matter how much good he done, with that 'P' branded into his wrist, people would only ever view him as one thing and one thing only. A pirate.
Bonnie gave up protesting and ran to her bed to weep in her pillows. The Governor sighed as he heard his youngest daughter sob from behind the door, he opened his mouth to speak but turned and walked away.
After a while had passed of Bonnie lying on her back, staring at her ceiling, playing with her gold necklace gifted from Jack, the door to her bedroom was unlocked and opened, and a few maids entered to get her out of the Navy clothes she was wearing and into something more ladylike. And just like that, Bonnie was back into a dress chosen by someone else.
The dress was beautiful, it was lavender with white lace and darker shade of purple flowers surrounding the bodice, and thankfully it was not accompanied by a corset. Bonnie did like wearing dresses, when they weren't so heavy and she actually liked them. But it felt so freeing when she wore men clothing and wasn't shamed for it.
