Disclaimer: I do not own any part of The Pirates of the Caribbean. -However, I do wish Jack was mine ;) Btw, John Knowles is just a coincidence with the author, John Knowles… I don't own him either, which I don't think makes any sense, but oh well. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- Chapter 1: The meeting One day while the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow was sailing on his ship, the Black Pearl, he decided he needed to stop at Tortuga to rest and have some rum. Little did he know he was about to come face to face with his destiny. After Jack had docked his ship, he started to walk toward the tavern. While he was walking, he saw a fair red headed lass wearing a light blue dress. Amazed by her beauty, he stopped for a minute and rested up against a large keg of rum. Her hair wasn't the normal color red, it was more like the color of the orange in the sunset. Her dress was slightly ripped and torn in some places, although it hung perfectly over her slender body. 'What is such a pretty lass doing in Tortuga?' thought Jack. After Jack stopped marveling at the lass, he started making his way toward her. 'She can't be a wench,' thought Jack 'she's too beautiful.' While he was merely a foot away from her, she turned around quickly and ran straight into him. "My deepest apology love." said Jack as he held his hands together towards the lady. "Why, you're Jack Sparrow!" "*cough* Captain Jack Sparrow.." "You're ..You're....You're the captain...of the Black Pearl.." "You're right ma' love" "It's such a pleasure to meet you!" "And you are, my love…" said Jack all the while looking deeply into her blue green eyes. "Sarah Knowles." 'Knowles...could she be the kin of old John Knowles?' Jack wondered. "Such a beautiful name for a beautiful lass. Could I offer 'ye a drink of rum my love?" "I'd be honored."
