To hate her own

A/N: Hi everybody, the plot for this story has been bugging me for a while, so I finally wrote it. I'll have to see how it goes, I'm just giving it a try. Anyway, please read and review.

Disclaimer: Don't own anything Pirates.

Chapter one

Rain pelted against the glass window as two eyes peeked out from inside. Lightning flashed every now and then, lighting up the cabin. Thunder rumbled loudly, making the windows rattle. She showed no fear on her expression, only mild curiosity. Storms always fascinated her, the raw violence of them. Her blue eyes moved to all the men scurrying about the deck, then up to the Captain. Her father. He stood proudly at the wheel of the Black Pearl, steering his ship through the worst of the storm. He was a magnificent man, and she was proud to know him as Daddy. When she grew up to be a fierce pirate just like him, she was going to be the greatest Captain that ever lived. She would teach her favorite song to her crew, just like her father taught her. She would sail to places yet discovered, and find all the treasure she could. And she would rejoice in the freedom she had. If there was anything Captain Jack Sparrow had taught her, it would be how precious freedom was, how important.

As the rain died down, and the skies began to clear, she jumped down from the large chair and out of the Captains quarters. She had stayed inside this time. Daddy would be proud of her, and not lock her in the brig like he always threatened to do. She ran to him, calling out, and he bent down just in time to catch her.

"That was a big one!" She chirped happily.

"Aye, that it was love."

"So, where are we headed to now, Cap'n?"

He smiled down at his seven year old daughter. "It's a surprise, love."

"Well, then where's the surprise?"

"It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you that, now would it?"

She thought for a minute, then nodded. "I guess so."

"That's a good girl," he said as he set her down. "Now run along."

Hours later, she heard the familiar,

"Land ho'!"

She dashed towards the port side, and watched as her father shouted orders to the crew. Then he turned and looked down at her.

"C'mon love, time to go."

"To where daddy?"

"The Turners."

Her eyes widened. "We're in Port Royal then?"

He didn't answer her.

The tea was warm, as were the tiny cakes. She loved it. She felt like a princess. But why did Daddy take her here anyway? No matter, she was going to have fun while she was here.

"Kayley, love. Why don't you go play with Daniel for a little while? I need to talk with Will and Elizabeth for a bit."

"But daddy-"

He gave her a look. "Go on, sweeting."

"Fine," she grumbled.

As soon as she was out of hearing distance, Jack tuned to his two friends.

"I need to ask you for a favor....."

She didn't understand. He left her? Why would he do that? Didn't he want her anymore?

"What do you mean?"

"Sweetheart, he's asked for us to care for you."

Kayley's blue eyes turned to Elizabeth's warm face. She liked her. But she wanted her daddy.

"Is he coming back?"

"Darling, of course he will."

She backed away. "I don't believe you."

"We wouldn't lie to you."

She bit back tears. She was a big girl, she didn't cry.

"Do you promise?" She looked at Will.

"We promise."

She nodded. Maybe they wouldn't break any promises.

A/N: I know that was short and kinda odd, but I promise it WILL pick up soon enough, I just have to get into the main part of the story more. Please review, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.
