Author's Note:
Hello! We're back with full force in our SECOND fic! YAY! For those of
you who haven't read our works before, we are two girls sharing one
account, cause ONE OF US can write, and ONE OF US can actually operate a
computer! Raven and Talon! Raven
Sorry 'bout starting this one in the midst of LGG (check it out if you like SG) but we both saw POtC and LOVED it! We HAD to do this one! Thus far, there's no real storyline. It's one of those "Walking into the mists" stories. Basically, Jack gets a daughter (well used fic idea) named Jade (also well used.). Well, enjoy! Talon
Chapter 1 Prologue
Jack closed his eyes and sighed contentedly as the cool sea breezes wafted over his dirty face. Freedom at sea, the one thing he craved that he truly received. Freedom! No ties, no worries. . . . no crew. . . .damn he was going to kill Barbossa someday! How dare that cheating blighter commit mutiny under his nose like that!? A squall rang from the tiny cabin, of his tiny stolen ship. Jack cursed and leapt down from the crow's nest (which wasn't a too terribly long drop) and stormed into the bedroom, cursing every word he knew a baby oughtn't hear. Why had he picked up the vile creature? He glanced at the small child screaming on his bed. Because it was old Bootstrap who saved her. Gently, Jack gathered the unnamed baby into his arms. Immediately, she quieted.
A couple of weeks ago, Jack and the crew of the Black Pearl had visited Tortuga, where, much to Jack's distaste, an old acquaintance, Caroline Ramose, had shoved this bundle of joy into his arms, and stormed off. The infant had his eyes.
When Barbossa led the mutiny to steal the ship, old Bootstrap Bill managed to get the baby to safety, and the crew was none the wiser she had even been onboard! After Jack got off the becursed island, he'd retrieved the baby and stolen a small ship, which was, in all likelihood, more of a boat than a ship!
"Ow! Dammit child, don't pull my bloody hair!" The ex-captain lifted the girl to his eyes. Why a girl? Why couldn't he have had a boy? This one was bound to end up like Anamarie! Who, come to think of it, had a rather nice ship he might be able to. . . . . borrow when the occasion struck him best!
'I still don't know what to call you." He stated, holding the child at arms length. After a moment, he considered his love for treasure. "Jade." He decided, and little Jade Sparrow gave a slight giggle. "Yes, Jade." He felt his old worn-out heart soften. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all! He grinned and brought the baby closer to his chest. She cooed and giggled, and eventually fell deep into slumber. He subconsciously began planning her future. She wouldn't have a proper education, just whatever he could think to teach her, but she'd be the best pirate in the Caribbean. With the exception of himself and Bootstrap, of course! He smiled deeply as he set her down on the bed. Who ever knew that something so unlike treasure, could be as priceless as her. Who knew that something priceless could ever soften his heart, rather than harden it? Precious as imported jade, that's what she was.
Jack shook his head, cursing his softness and heading back up to the crow's nest.
So? Whaddaya think? Please tell us or we'll resurrect Barbossa! 'Course, at this point in the story, Barbossa isn't even dead. Don't worry, next chappie is after the movie. Raven
I'm rather proud of my work, thank you very much! Raven, er, helped. She posted it. and helped. A little. Now, be a darling lad or poppit and R&R!
