It was quiet in the cold dark streets of port royal, a man hurried down the streets cradling a bundle of blanket with a small baby wrapped up inside. The man held the bundle very gently, yet he rushed up to the house of an old friend, Governor Swann, who was sleeping soundly in his own bed.

The man set the bundle on the top step of the stairs Lessing up to the front door, placing a small kiss on the baby's forehead and resting a letter atop the bundle. The man said goodbye to his daughter, y/n Richard for the last time before knocking on the door of his old friend the governor's house.

~~~~~

The knocking had caught the attention of two maids and the hurried towards the door in curiosity, wondering why someone would be at the door at this hour.

One of the maids unlocked and opened the door to be met by nothing but the cold air and shadowy streets in front of them. Only a few seconds later the two maids had their attention caught by the small whimpers of the baby at their feet. One of the maids gasped in surprise kneeled down next to it, the other maid copied.

"Lilly, pick her up," one of them said, Lilly did so.

"Why don't you read this letter, here," Lilly said handing her the letter. The maid opened it up unfolding the piece of paper to reveal a paragraph written in sloppy hand writing.

Dear governor,
I need your help. Beatrice had fallen quite ill, unfortunately I lost her today. The pirates have come for me and are going to hunt me down, you know why. I can no longer give my dearest y/n the proper safety she needs. What I ask of you is to take care of her, raise her, treat her as your own, for I can no longer do so. She needs someone to take care of her and you are the only person I trust with my daughter. Do not tell her of what her mother and father were but know she will be drawn to the sea as much as me and Beatrice were, and when the time comes, let her go free. I beg of you.
Your friend,
Edward

"Oh, dear lord," Lilly exclaimed looking down at the child in her arms. The other maid motioned for them both do go back inside and close the door.

When the governor had awoken he was met with the news of the mystery baby, but when he heard who the note was from, there was no hesitation to the fact that he would be this child's new care taker.
