A/N: So, in case you haven't noticed, this is a WAY overdue sequel to my story One Eye Doesn't Mean a Thing. I'm not sure how this is gonna go, so if you have any suggestions for how the story should go, I'm open to new ideas! Anyways, please R&R! ^_^

Chapter 1

Carmen's POV

The sun rose above the horizon, making the sky a brilliant orange. It was the same sky I had seen every morning from my ship. In the distance, I saw the port of Tortuga. Floating in the docks, I saw a magnificent ship with black sails.

The Black Pearl.

I hadn't seen this ship in a year, and I had to admit, I actually kinda missed it. Or maybe it was my brother I was missing. He's the captain, you know. Yes, the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow is related to me. And to tell the truth, I'm actually proud of it. It's one of those things that I rarelt admit.

A voice behind me caused me to jump, "Are ye excited?"

I turned around and looked into the eye of Ragetti. "Rags! Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see ya there!"

He leaned down and kissed me softly. I melted into his arms and kissed him harder. We pulled apart, and I grinned, "We're gonna have to be more discreet when we're with Jack."

My brother could be, well, a bit overprotective at times. While he knew that I was in love with Ragetti, he wasn't too thrilled about his baby sister spending all of her time with "some lad".

Rags groaned, "Aw, crap! I fergot! If oi had remembered, I would've-"

"Land, ho!" One of my crewmates shouted from the top of the mast. We had arrived in Tortuga.

"This time, Rags, Imma buy ya a glass eye that actually fits!" I exclaimed as we exited the ship. I had promised one the last time we had been in Tortuga (which had been a couple months before), I couldn't find the perfect one to steal for him, and the rest of the crew's money had been spent on rum and wenches (for the male crewmates).

Rags smiled, and wrapped his arm around my waist, "Good, cuz my wooden eye 'urts too much!"

We started to board the Black Pearl, and my heart began racing in anticipation of seeing my brother again.

"Well, that's great cuz-" I didn't have time to finish my sentence, as Jack had practically ambushed us.

"Carmen, me luv!" He shouted, before coming to an abrupt halt. He eyed Ragetti's arm, which was around my waist. He cleared his throat noisily.

Rags realized what was bothering Jack, "Oh, sorry, cap'n." He let go of my waist quickly, as if it were on fire.

Jack smiled, as if satisfied, and I rolled my eyes, and hugged my brother. "S' nice ta see ya again, me sister," Jack whispered into my ear.

I smiled, "It's nice to see ya too, Jack."

A/N: Sorry for the shortness of this chapter, but I'm trying to get back into the groove of writing! Please remember to review, and constructinve criticism is welcome and encouraged! ^_^
