Chapter one

"And then they made me their chief…"

The children all looked at Jack in amazement as he ended the story. Jack watched the children. Happy faces smiled back. He smirked softly at them, showing his golden teeth.

Grey hairs began to show in his beard and dreadlocks but he still didn't look that old. But at the age of seventy, Jack felt old.

"Tell us the story of you and Grandmother!"

"Yes…Grandpa Jack, tell us" Rose insisted

"Please Grandpa?" Rosemary asked sweet

Jack looked in the eyes of his three grandchildren in front of him and nodded softly. The three children looked eagerly as he carefully picked the youngest one and placed her on his lap as he stroke some of her long brown hair from her eyes.

The sea looked calm. It was a beautiful day as the sun shone upon the blue water of the sea. Jack walked up the hill. It was around twelve o'clock, Tortuga was calmer during the day but it was still brimming with life, and Jack loved it.

The famous pirate entered the pub and even though it was in the middle of the day, every pirate was fighting for an unknown reason. He looked around and saw in the center of the fight a familiar face.

He drew his cutlass and fought his way to the girl. Her long black hair moved with every move of her sword as she tried to defend herself against the pirates that were fighting her.

The dirty pub was filled with pirates which made it harder for Jack to reach the girl. Blood fell on the ground from various wounded assaultants. The girl in the middle had black hair and her dirty white shirt was way to big for her figure.

Her black hair was held back from her eyes with a white bandana. Her brown pants were tucked in her boots as she grabbed Jacks dagger from his belt when he reached her. She fought her way to the entrance and exited the pub with Jack following her every move.

"You always start a fight when you enter a pub?"

"Of course, what's the fun of drinking rum without a good fight between it."

Jack looked at the girl in front of him and smirked when he heard the tone in her voice.

"I'll be more careful next time." she added sarcastically as she saw him smirking at her.

Jack nodded and stared at her.

Anamaria noticed the stare she received from Jack and frowned. "The offer still stands?"

"Only if ye want it to love."

Her frown disappeared from her face as she looked thoughtful for less then a second before nodding at Captain Jack Sparrow.

"Welcome to the crew lass."

Jack shook her hand, his other hand connected with her arm, pulling it back. He smirked, showing his golden teeth as he watched her walk away after smiling at him. Jack grabbed a bottle of rum from a drunk pirate and walked further up the hill.

"Grandpapa Jack? Did you love Grandmama at that moment?"

He watched his youngest and only grandson. His brown hair and brown eyes looked back at him as Jack looked thoughtful. His head softly nodded before he smiled at his grandson.

"What the Black Pearl really is…is freedom."

Jack loved it like no other thing in the world. The deck may be dirty and the sails may be ripped at some places. It may have holes in the wood. But it was Jacks ship and he wouldn't want it any other way.

He opened his compass and looked at the needle point in the direction of his hearts desire. A ship at the horizon distracted him as Gibbs informed him of it's nature.

"Jack ! Navvy Ship ahead."

Jack looked at the ship, his mouth slightly open "…bugger!"

The Captain nodded to his crew as they all drew their weapons, ready for battle. The Navvy ship came closer and closer and Jacks hand grabbed the steering wheel with one hand, the handle of his sword thight in the other.

Soon as the ship sailed next to the Pearl, the pirates attacked it and hell broke loose between the two ships.

"But you won, didn't you, Grandpapa Jack?"

"Listen to the story Christian!" Rose complained to her brother. Her long black hair and blue eyes made her different from her brother, yet, they were twins.

"Grandpapa Jack?" A small voice distracted him from the batter of the twins as he looked at his youngest granddaughter. Her brown hair and blue eyes shined as he looked at him, she was tired as her eyes almost closed. "Will you continue the story Grandpapa?"

Jack nodded and smiled before silencing the twins.

The fight wasn't all that big, clearly the Navvy ship didn't expect the fight coming from the Black Pearl. They soon retreated from the battle as the crew of the Pearl celebrated the victory with bottles of rum.

Jack looked at Anamaria who held a bloody hand to her arm.

"Ana', get that wound treated."

"I'm fine Captain."

"I don't want wounded crew members on me ship Ana'!" Jack said stubborn

"It's just a scrape." Ana' commented

Jack rolled his eyes and looked at the only girl in his crew. His arms crossed over his chest as she looked at him.

"Seriously, it's just…," Ana' sighed and watched Jacks pose. "Fine…"

"Good lass," Jack nodded "now where's me rum."

Jack walked to his cabin in a drunk way, swaggering a little when he opened his door. Anamaria grabbed a piece of cloth to bandage the wound at her arm and went back to her chores.

"What now Grandpapa?" Rose asked him. He looked in her blue eyes and thought for a moment. "Wha' 'appened next?"

His three grandchildren looked strange at him before he continued the story.

The anchor was down and night had fallen over the Caribbean sea as the Black Pearl lay silent in the water. The crew was down below. Some water was at their feet but they didn't care, it wouldn't kill them after all.

They all sat around a small wooden table, playing cards with each other, and losing their money to the only woman on board the infamous ship.

Even Captain Jack Sparrow joined them, of course, accompanied by his rum.

"I think I won this round."

"Not so fast Master Gibbs…Royal flush."(1)

Anamaria showed her cards and Gibbs groaned when Ana' took al the money from the table to her side. Jack stood at the side, watching his crew loose their bets to Anamaria.

"Care to give it a shot, Captain?"

The crew looked at Jack, wanting to know his answer. Jack nodded and took a mouthful of rum before sitting down. Anamaria shuffled the cards and gave Jack his.

He picked them up and looked at them, smiling.

"Did you win Grandpapa Jack?" Christian asked his grandfather

"Listen to the story Christian,"

"And don't interrupt it the whole time" Rosemary filled in for her older sister as she laid her head on Jacks shoulder.

X

"Ye win again." Jack nodded in defeat at the girl in front of him who smiled

" 'Ow do ye do it Ana'?" Gibbs asked from the sideline

"Pure luck mates."

"There's no such thing as luck!" Marty looked at Anamaria who glared back, silencing the little man.

Jack stood up from the table and took a swig of his rum.

"Why is the rum gone…again?" he thought as he staggers a little "So…that's why."

"Giving up already Captain?"

"No' at all. I just need more rum."

Anamaria nodded as Jack walked to the hold of the ship and took another bottle of rum. He walked back and watched his crew, who were trying to defeat Anamaria. He was one of the last to go to sleep as he fell on his bed, sleeping from the moment his eyes closed.

"What happened next Grandpapa Jack?"

"Christian ! Don't interrupt the story!" Rose complained while she hit her twin playfully on the arm. Christian yelled as Jack watched Rosemary on his lap.

He smiled as Rosemary's eyes were dropping. She shook her head slightly, trying to stay awake. Jack kissed the top of her head and looked back at the twins.
