Eleven-year-old Mia Sparrow layed on her bed at her and her Mother's, Lucy Hemming, home on Port Calvari. Her mother, though not a pirate herself but the daughter of one, was also in love with one: Jack Sparrow. Mia and Lucy were considered prim and proper residents of Port Calvari, but despised that sort of lifestyle. They had no passage out off the island and with Jack having no ship; he couldn't take them with him on his high sea adventures either, something which Mia loved to hear about when Jack had returned home. She understood him being away a lot, he was a pirate with the Royal Navy constantly chasing him, so would only come back every few months for a few days. Pirate blood ran full and thick through her veins and planned to sail the seas with Jack once she was old enough. Mia and Lucy's involvement with Jack had to be kept top secret from the Navy and the rest of the island knowing the risk they would all be at if anyone found out. Lucy and Jack met twelve years ago when he had arrived at Calvari, but found himself in the hands of the Navy and being sentenced to death. The night before the hanging Lucy broke into the fort prison to break Jack free.

"What are you doing?" he asked huskily to her.

"Freeing you" she responded without looking at him while picking at the lock.

"Why? Associating yourself with a pirate, you could get hung for that, especially freeing one" he answered back as the lock came free.

"Because pirate blood runs through my veins, and I highly resent this proper life I lead, it's not me at all" she scowled still picking the lock. "There!" she said triumphantly the iron cell door opening towards her. Jack took one step towards her and crashed his lips onto hers and found herself not pushing him away. When they parted lips he looked lovingly into her eyes and found herself catching her breath. "What are you doing?" she asked.

"Kissing you" he replied kissing her again.

"Why? I thought pirates weren't affectionate, and didn't associate with prim and proper life" she stated.

Jack smiled at her only to kiss her again. It was this moment Jack and Lucy fell in love and to never look back.

"You have to go, before they catch you" whispered Lucy.

"Aye" he whispered back. "I'll come back, I promise, I always do" he continued as he kissed her softly before grabbing his effects and fleeing the prison.

Mia knew how in love her parents were, she could see it every time she saw them together. Today Jack was leaving again, it upset her whenever he did, but he had to and she accepted it.

"Mia!" her mother shouted up the stairs. "Your father is leaving now!"

Mia shot of the bed and raced downstairs to hug her father. "Do you have to leave?" she asked sadly.

"You know I do darlin', the sea is calling me" he said. "A few more years and you can come with me" he said watching a smile spread across Mia's face. "I have to take care of some business with someone, so I'll be back before the week is out!" making Mia even happier. "Can't stay away from my girls for too long" he said picking up his hat and effects. He kissed Lucy and Mia goodbye. "Keep a weather eye on the horizon" he said and with that he left.

A few days later Mia sat in her bedroom looking out the window towards the sea. She was still waiting for her father's return, but it hadn't come yet. A few more days went by and still no Jack. The days began to turn into weeks, the weeks turned into months and months turned into years. Jack never came back.

Seven years later.

In the seven years since Jack left, a pirate captain called Robin Griffin had come ashore to Calvari. For seven years within being on the island, he was able to seal his real identity of a pirate and become a market tradesmen in the islands town. After keeping up these seven years, Royal Navy officers caught him attempting to commandeer a ship. He was arrested and had been discovered of his real identity. In the seven years before his arrest he had befriended Lucy, a well know resident of the town along with her daughter Mia. The town still to this day, remained unaware of her connections to piracy as well as her dealings with them. She was the only one aware of Griffin's history, therefore the only one he could trust. And as a result had fallen hopelessly in love with her. On the night of his arrest, Lucy along with Mia, freed Griffin from his cell, only to be seen freeing him, they had no choice but to abandon the island with Griffin. He was able to drop them off at the island of Tortuga since there was no island that was safe for them now with the Navy after them. Lucy and Mia, had no choice but to make a living there by opening a tavern called The Silver Rose.

One year later.

"Mia!" called Lucy. While Mia spent her time in the kitchen washing up, her mother, Lucy was the bar maid serving people, though they were mostly pirates. "Yes mother!"

"There more mugs here to be washed!" Lucy called back. Mia came stomping into the tavern to collect the mugs.

"What are you stomping around for?"

"I'm fed up" Mia replied blandly, picking the mugs with each one of her fingers. "With life" she carried on walking back into the kitchen. "There's more to life then just cleaning mugs!"

"Well I'm sorry you feel that way, but you know we can't leave. The navy are still looking for us" Lucy said softly with a hint of sadness as Mia walked back inside the bar.

"I know" she replied with the same hint of sadness as she gave her mother a hug. The tavern was now completely deserted and it was just the two of them. As they hugged they heard the front door of the building slowly creak open. They both let go of each other to look up at whom walked through the door: Griffin.

"Lucy" he said in a low voice walking slowly to where the two women were standing. "I need your help."

"Such as?" she asked as he sat down on a stool on the other side of the bar.

"To find your grandfather's treasure" he said simply.

"What do you need it for?" Lucy asked slowly with an edge of suspicion.

"Not of your concern" he replied slyly. "Can't you help out a friend Lucy?"

"Well it is of my concern actually, being MY grandfather's treasure" she answered back coldly. "If anyone has ownership to it, it's me!"

"I want that treasure!" Griffin said, his voice getting louder.

"Oh so you want it! You don't actually need it then?"

"Course not! I'm a pirate after all" he said with a hint of greed.

"I'll never give up the bearings!" she whispered harshly.

"Then I'll take you with me!" he declared standing up and pointing his pistol at her.

"No!" gasped Mia.

"Come with me without a fuss, and no one gets hurt" he said with a hint of menace.

"Ok I'll come!" Lucy said giving in. "Can I at least say goodbye to my daughter first?"

"You have one minute" Griffin stated.

Lucy spun round to face Mia. "You have to find Jack!" she whispered quickly.

"What!" Mia asked confused.

"He knows where the treasure is, so he's the only one who can help" she said quickly.

"But where do I find him?" Mia asked, her voice shaking with fear.

"Try the Faithful Bride, on the other side of Tortuga, it's his favourite tavern" Lucy replied sadly.

Mia could tell her mother was still in love with Jack, she always would be, he's the love of her life.

"Ok" Mia said nodding trying to fight back the tears.

"I love you sweetheart" Lucy said kissing her daughter's head.

"I love you too" Mia replied as the tears began to fall. And with that her mother was out the door, not knowing if she would ever see her again.
