Ok, a warning, this fic is so AU it's not funny. No Stargate, not even present time. It was inspired by seeing Pirates of the Carribean 2. Hey, it might be awful, but come in, have a seat and a cuppa, and give it a try!

No spoilers I don't think, apart from what the series has told us about Jack's past.

Rating is T, but some chapters might have a higher rating than that. If so, I will warn you beforehand.

So, here we go, a very short prologue, to see what you think.

A Pirate's life for me

Prologue

If only she had been there.

She might have been able to stop him. Might have been able to stop him before he fired. Before the blood came. Before the light slowly flickered then died within his eyes. She might have had a chance to say goodbye.

Her only child was dead. Cold and buried. Leaving his family alive but not living. His father barely more than a corpse. His mother, a sobbing wreck, crying for the loss of both husband and child.

She missed them both. An empty, icy cavern lay where her heart used to beat. She felt colder than the wind that rippled the sea thousands of metres below her feet. The craggy rocks just beyond the grass on which she stood gave way to a sharp drop, and as she raised her arms towards heaven for forgiveness, she felt her body drop towards the murky depths of ocean below.
