Jack and Anamaria were fleeing from a group of Navy men. They had just stole from the jewellers shop and unfortunately the coast hadn't been clear. Anamaria skidded to a halt as she saw someone hidden between the cargo on the jetty, "Jack! Quick help me get her up." Jack quickly ran back to Anamaria complaining on the way, "Help you with what woman?" He cast his gaze down on a young lass who looked at them with glazed eyes before she was out like a light, "She must be no more than 20 at most." Jack said surprised. "You can start your staring when we get to the Pearl, until then, help me get her out of here. We can't leave her here to die." Anamaria hauled the waif out of her cover of crates, Jack quickly moving to help her.
"Who is that? it's terribly bad luck to bring a woman on board sir" Gibbs asked as they boarded the Pearl. "She be dead if we left her Gibbs. Set sail immediately!" Jack commanded. Anamaria and Jack guided the child to Jack's cabin and laid her on his bed. "Now I be getting some hot water to clean up her injuries, don't you be getting any ideas, you hear?" Jack dismissed Anamaria with a wave of his hand. He heard her storm off down to the galley, "Now lass, if ye can hear Jack then I'll just be telling ye that I am not trying anything savvy? Just trying to see if there be anymore damages on your person." He gently lifted up her shirt - little more than necessary, "That be a nasty stab wound ye have there Miss." Slowly he returned the shirt back down to a respectable level and surveyed the wound in the poor girl's head. "Jack Sparrow, what are you doing now?" Anamaria stood in the doorway, a bowl of hot salty water in one hand and a cleanish rag in the other. "I swear on the pain of death that I was not doing what ye be thinking lass." Anamaria scowled at him and placed the bowl and rag on the bed to leave Jack with the task of tending to the girl. As the Cap'n first touched the stab mark on her waist, the outsider made a groggy attempt at swatting his hand away. "Ah now ye see lass, ye shouldn't have done that cause now I be talking to ye. Your name lass?" "Alora." "Good to meet ye Alora my name be Captain Jack."
