Hi! Thanks again for leaving reviews on my other story and here's the beginning! I hope everyone likes this chapter and please leave reviews. It makes me feel better and confident about my story. :)

Her eyes flew open from a strange dream. Feeling her arms, she sat up fully taking in her surroundings. She licked her parched lips trying to moisten them. Letting out a content sigh, she stretched her arms out.

"I see ye be 'wake, girl." A voice came from the side of her.

Turning her head, she tilted her head in confusion starring at an unusually dressed woman. "Where am I and who are you?"

"Ah… curiosity, eh?" the woman replied flashing her black teeth. "I'd be Tia Dalma. Ye are in me hut."

"Tell me… what am I doing here? I can't remember anything." She asked.

"Yer name is Christie Stiles…Ye see, child, I have resurrected ye from tha other world, world of de dead. As a result, ye have lost most of yer memory." Tia explained. "Tha necklace placed around yer neck is yer life. Ye mustn't remove it or ye will die and there will be no hope for ye ta live again. There is only one way to cure yer problem but I will not tell ye."

Christie looked down at the necklace and noticed it looked like a heart shaped locket.

"But ye must go now, child. Yer destiny awaits ye." Tia said ushering her out the door.

"What is my destiny?" Christie asked in wonder.

"Tha' I won't tell ye." Tia started but got interrupted.

"Why not?" Christie blurted.

"Because it will ruin tha future. Ye must find fer yerself." Tia smiled. "Take this before ye leave." Tia handed a small dagger that was somewhat familiar looking. In the handle, there was an engraving marking the letters CJS. "Don't forget ta visit every few months." Tia nodded and walked her to the boat. "This boat will take ye to Tortuga. Then ye will find yer way there."

Christie took the dagger and shoved it in her boot. Stepping into the boat, she thanked Tia. She watched Tia's figure shrink into the distance and lied down in the boat taking a nap.

Waking up, her clothes felt soaked. Looking at the bottom of the boat, a leak started to let in water. Muttering angrily, she climbed up the small mast and saw that she wasn't very far from land. Each second she got closer, the boat sank a little more until the boat hit the docks. She looked around her to find people giving her strange looks. Ignoring them, she climbed out of the boat and onto the docks. She slowly walked on the docks, hearing her boots clunking.

"Excuse me, Miss." A man covered in dirt comes up to her. "I require a name for your… your boat."

"Captain Christie Stiles." Christie said but didn't know where the captain part came from. Waving the thought off, she continued on her way to the town. Reading a broken sign above her, it read Tortuga. Just the right place she thought and slammed the door open to a random tavern. Striding over to the bar, she took a seat. "Rum please." Christie asked to the man at the counter.

"Aye." The man grunted and filled a mug of rum placing it in front of her.

Christie realized she had no money on her and cursed silently.

"Ye going ta pay or not?" the man demanded.

"Uh… you see I don't have any… shillings." Christie answered slowly.

"AH!" the man yelled. "Well then ye got ta work here. I need a few extra barmaids anyways. Ye work now! Ye can drink yer rum while yer at it. By the way, ye can't work in those clothes."

Christie nodded and sighed in relief. Gulping the rum down, she got off the seat and waited for instructions.

"Go upstairs in the first room ta the left. Use this key. There should be some dresses in there." The man ordered and handed the key over.

Christie took it and quickly walked up the stairs. Entering the room, she spotted a closet in the corner. Swinging the closet door open, she saw many dresses lined up. She grabbed the dark maroon dress and quickly changed into it. Getting rid of her regular clothes, she shut the closet door and walked downstairs.

"There ye are! Ye almost took to long. Go serve those men over there." The man nodded and placed a tray of rum mugs in front of her.

Christie slowly picked up the tray and walked over to the large group of men. Placing the rum mugs on the table, she walked away quickly.

Hours past by of hard work as sweat trailed across her head. Out of the corner of her eye, she spotted a strange man and felt some attraction towards him as if she should walk up to him.

"Serve those men there!" the owner shouted at her interrupting her thoughts.

Christie nodded quickly and brushed off the thought of the strange man. Picking up the tray, she walked over to the other group of men. Placing the tray down, she felt a hand smacking her butt. Turning around she faced a man that was part of the group.

"Don't you touch me." Christie growled in a menacing voice.

"Eh. What's a pretty thing like ye going ta do with me?" the man laughed and pulled her against him by her waist.

"Yeah." Another man said and stood up.

"Let go of me!" Christie screamed as the man pushed her into the other man's arms.

"Not till we have some fun." One of them laughed.

Christie reached into her boot and pulled out the dagger, and thrust it behind her, stabbing the man in the chest. Yanking it out, she watched him collapse dead. Looking at the other man, she watched him flee out of the tavern.

Jack Sparrow sat in the shadows, watching the girl's move. It couldn't be her… It was impossible… unbelievable… he watched her pull out his dagger and stab the man. That just proved it was she… Blinking his eyes, thinking it was just a dream, but it wasn't. Standing up, his heart thudding quickly, and walked up closer to her.

Christie felt an unusual presence behind her and immediately swung her arm to have a hand catch it. Spinning around, she wriggled her arm to get out of his grasp. Looking in front of her was the same man she saw earlier in the corner. "Let go wretch!" She glared hatefully at him and tried to yank her arm away.

Jack immediately felt hurt at the greeting but knew she should be angry with him. "I know ye are angry with me but let me explain." Jack begged.

"I don't know you. There is nothing to explain! Tell me who are you?" Christie snapped angrily.

Jack thought she was just joking with him. "C'mon, luv, ye remember me."

"No… I don't." Christie frowned.

"Yes ye do. Tha's me dagger ye have." Jack smirked thinking it was just a game. "It has me initials. Captain Jack Sparrow."

Christie stared at him lost. "Well… Jack… unfortunately you must've mistaken me for the wrong person because I don't know anyone named Jack."

"Whatever you say, luv." Jack replied. "Now let me explain. I just needed time to think things out and I wanted to say that I love ye."

Christie's eyes widened in fear, scared of what Jack was saying to her. "No. I don't know you. Now leave me alone." Christie backed up away from him.

"You do know me!" Jack said trying to stop her games or what he thought was her games. Jack grabbed her other arm and pulled her closer to his body. "I know I made a mistake but it doesn't mean that you should be acting clueless. I thought you died but I'm glad you're alive… I don't know what I would do without ye." Jack mumbled the last part.

Christie stood taut in his grasp, not knowing what to do. Jack's lips met hers, scaring her. Yanking herself away from his kiss, petrified. "What do you think you're doing?" Christie shrieked and pulled her arms free. "I don't know who you are and who do you think you are kissing me!" Using her free hands she slapped Jack, making his head swing to the side.

Jack winced from the blow, and rubbed his cheek. "I may have deserved that but ye got to believe me!" He then looked at her and saw how clueless she was. Maybe she really doesn't remember me Jack thought. The necklace around her neck caught his eye. Using his hand to pick up the heart, he realized it as the one Tia Dalma had before.

Christie smacked his hand away, causing him to drop the heart back down. "Don't touch that!" Christie shouted.

Jack nodded. Somehow the Christie he knew was gone…

Please leave a review and I'll try to post another chapter soon!
