Diclaimer- i do not own POTC, that belongs to disney, but i do claim my own character Ashley Jane Sparrow.
The rain fell against my face, I snuggled into my fathers jacket, wanting to sleep, he shifts my weight in his arms. I am underweight for my age, being 5-years-old and weighing only 4LB.
"Shh, Ash, you can't sleep, not yet"
I moan in protest as he places me on the floor, the heat leaves my body and I shiver watching him as he knocks on the door in front of us
"Jack?"
The man who answered the door looked at my father in confusion
"'Ello mate, I need a favour"
"Sure anything Jack, what's wrong?"
My father picked me up and I rest my head on his shoulder
"I need you to look after Ashley, Eva died Luke, cold-blooded murder, I can't look after her on me own, please, I swear I'll come back for her but not now, you're a father, you understand don't you?"
The man nodded, offering out his arms to me I declined and gripped to my father's shirt.
"Of course Jack, im sorry about Eva, she was a great woman"
My father nodded and looked at me, sending me his lopsided grin making me laugh.
"Ash, luv, I need you to stay with Luke, I promise you its not for long, I will come and get you and we can go on all sorts of adventures yeah…here take this, never take it off"
He told me placing a gold chain around my neck, pointing at the engraving of a bird he continued.
"See that bird? It's a sparrow, I want you to remember that you're a Sparrow and no one can take that from you"
"Jack, you must leave, before the East India Trading Company find out"
My father nodded, kissing my forehead and passing me over to Luke's outstretched arms.
"I love you Ashley, remember that"
Review please, i'll love you for it :P
