"Oh mother, you look absolutely stunning!" Victoria exclaimed. "One day I wish to be as beautiful as you. No wonder father married you!" She said with a certain air of excitement. For Victoria was the only daughter of William and Elizabeth Turner.
"Why thank you my darling, but shouldn't it be best that you go and get your rest? You have a big day tomorrow." As she said this, Elizabeth walked down the staircase to where her fourteen year old daughter was standing and looking at her intently. She was thinking of how much her daughter reminded her of herself at this age. She was about to say something else when she was interrupted by a very handsome man dressed in the nines walking down the stairs.
"Victoria, you're still awake at this hour! Haven't you better run off to bed so your mother and I can go to our party?" Will asked his daughter while thinking to himself that if his father ever told him to do something like that, he would become quite stubborn and stomp off to bed.
Victoria answered somewhat hesitantly, "Alright then, goodnight! Will Ana be staying here with me?" As she said this, a young woman who looked only a few years older than Victoria appeared. She was dressed in a classic household servant outfit that clearly showed she serverd a wealthy family.
"Of course I'll be staying with you Victoria, where else would I be?" Ana stated to Victoria.
Will glanced at the grandfather clock in the foyer and said, "We really must be going, goodnight Victoria and listen to Ana." Will took his wife's arm in his and they walked out the door into the unusually cold and foggy night. Victoria ran to the huge front window and watched them walk into their waiting carriage and disappear into the night.While Ana watched Victoria, she tried to remember why she took the position of this job. She knew that her mother died when she was very young and her father left her mother even before she was born. She was put into the guardianship of the local blacksmith family, the Browns. When she was placed there, Will had been living there for many years and was a young dashing man of seventeen. One day Will suddenly disappeared, her parents told her that he was called away on business. She later learned that he ran away with a certain pirate named Captain Jack Sparrow.Victoria interrupted her thoughts asking her, "Well shouldn't you help me into bed? It tis very late you know." The look on Ana's face greatly disturbed here, for she had seen that look before on her father. When he was talking about someone named Jack Sparrow, which she was positively sure Ana was thinking about now. Victoria didn't really know why Ana had become her nurse, except that she used to know her father when they were younger. Victoria had a sudden urge to learn everything she could about this Jack Sparrow, so she decided that Ana should be the one to tell her. "I'll call you when I'm ready for you Ana, it'll only be a few minutes." As she said this, Victoria was halfway up the grand staircase of her house. She truly wanted to know who exactly this Jack Sparrow was and how he knew her father and mother.
