Ok this is my 1st fanfic so please be nice. I hope you enjoy my story. Please read and review. Enjoy!

Prologue

The sky was getting lighter with beautiful shades of pinks, oranges, and blues covered the sky as the sun rose over the island of Tortuga. The air was filled with the sweet smell of jasmine and the salt sea breeze. Slowly pirates were getting up with major hangovers from the night before but nothing a little rum can't cure.

As the Tortuga occupants rose from the slumber, a young beautiful girl had been up for hours, walking and talking with her friends around the island feeling so happy. Because today was her birthday.

She said good-bye to her friends and headed back to her house were she lived with her parents and boyfriend.

'they should all be waking up by now' she thought as she stepped inside.

Suddenly she felt a pair of hands and arms wrap themselves around her waist. Then lips started passionately kissing her neck.

"Happy Birthday Alex" Said the young man who was called Jack.

Alex was giggling

"Why thankyou Jack" said Alex seductively turning around to face her boyfriend.

Jack Sparrow (Captain, Captain Jack Sparrow..... Oopps sorry Ja..I mean Captain) was quite tall (well taller than her anyway) tanned skin and a head full on dreadlocks with beads and ordainments put in them and had the cutest brown eyes that could make your heart melt.

As for Alex, she was slim with sort of muscular arms and long brown hair with small ringlets in it and the most beautiful green eyes, which seemed to change with the different emotions she felt. When she felt happy her eyes would be bright and sparkling, when she was sad her eyes would darken and seem distant and could almost break your heart. And when she was mad.....well let's just say you don't want to get her mad.

"Close your eyes, I have a surprise for you" whispered Jack in her ear.

"What is it?"

"Well, if you close your eyes I can give it to you"

Alex felt Jack's warm hands slide around her neck and tie something up around it.

"Open your eyes "said Jack

Alex slowly opened her eyes and turned to face the mirror on the hallstand and gasped.

"Oh Jack its...its simply gorgeous it must have cost you a fortune!" exclaimed Alex.

Around her neck was an beautiful necklace with a silver star attached to it. It seemed to glitter in the early morning sunlight.

"It's called the North star. It's the only star in the sky that doesn't move. It also belonged to my mother." Said Jack

"I didn't know you had a mother?"

"she died when I was seven." Said jack

"oh I'm sorry, I didn't mean..."

"Don't worry about it, look here are your parents" jack said very eager to change the subject.

The day pressed on and Alex and her family enjoyed the day together eating and drinking all day. And Alex forgot all about the conversation she had had with Jack, and apparently so had he.

Arthur and Marie were Alex's parents. They were also both pirates. Arthur used to be part of the crew on the Black Pearl but left and took a gold medallion with him after they marooned Jack on the island and killed Bill Turner. Arthur retuned to Tortuga to live with his wife and daughter he gave the medallion to his wife. Ever since Jack got off the island he had been living with them for 2 years.

That evening Jack and Arthur were discussing piracy and ships that they wanted, while Marie and Alex were looking at all her presents. When suddenly just before 9:00pm someone came pounding on their door.

"What the hell.....GIBBS?!?! What the blazes are you doing here? Trying to break down our door?!?" yelled Arthur sarcastically.

The whole room began to laugh, except for Gibbs.

"Gibbs....what's wrong?" questioned Arthur

It took a minute or two for him to catch his breath but then said "I ran 'ere as fast as I could, their 'ere."

"whose here Gibbs?" said Marie

"Barbossa, 'ere on Tortuga, his lookin' for a medallion of some sort. And from wot I 'eard from Ana Maria their headin' 'ere!"

All smiles quickly faded.

"Oh My dear gawd!" exclaimed Marie looking desperately at her husband.

Arthur paused for several minutes then

"Ok, Jack take Alex to Ana Marie's house and stay there until its safe, Alex go with Jack, Alex go! I doubt Barbossa will want to see you Jack. Gibbs go and get the crew assembled Marie and I will stay and fight. Alex if anything happens to us stay with Ana Maria until the time is right then take the Amazon and go live with your Uncle and cousin at Port Royal."

With many arguments, hesitantly Alex packed her bag and rushed down stairs, Gibbs was running into town to get the crew and Jack was sharping his sword. Just before Jack and Alex left, Marie whispered something in Alex's ear and slipped something around her neck. With tears flooding down her face Alex's hugged her parents good-bye and with Jack ran to Ana Maria's house.

Alex watched as her house burned to the ground but see could no longer see her parents, and she never saw them again.
