Chapter One
" Get Up!" Jack heard his stepmother screech through the door,he moaned and rolled bakc over,pulling the covers over his head as he did. " JACK SPARROW GET YOUR LAZY SELF UP!" He heard his stepmother yell again.Jack moaned and kicked the covers off and rolled out of the bed,the bed letting out a sqeak as he did.he walked drowsely over to the mirror catching sight of a toseled headed,hazel-eyed boy of 14 staring back at him tiredly,he smoothed his unruly hari back with his hand,not succeding in that he grabbed a brush and ran it through his hair,he then dragged himself over to the wash basin and splashed the cool ater onto his face,allwoing it to trickle down into his shirt. "ARE YOU NOT UP YET!?" he heard the woman yell again. " YES I'M UP!you mad old bat." he muttered digging into his chest for a clean shirt he found one at the very bottom,it had a hole in it but his stepmoteher would have to deal with it.He slipped it over his head and buttoned only a few buttons leaving a bit of the top open,he knew why he was getting up this early,his stepmother was having those confounded women socials over,and their daughters,he hated having to sit through those,his dad had died just a few years ago,leaving him and his older sister in the care of their stepmother,whom he consinted to having ideas of sending him off on the first slaver s if it hadn't been his dying fathers wish that she take good care of him.His sister was already married and he was stuck with madame bossy briches until he was 18.
Jack ran down the stairs taking them two at a time,trying to get his boots on at the same time,he was late,this would made the fifth time this week,he missed a step and went rolling down the rest of the stairs,the sound echoing off the walls.Sparrow Manor,friggin' to big and too many rooms in my opinion,he thought as he landed at the feet of their butler,Atticus " Late as usual Master Jack?" the old man said giving a hand to him to help him up "Yes,not really in a hurry to get there either," He said,taking the butlers hand and pulling himself up,Atticus had always been there,ever since Jack could remember,Atticus was a big burly man,his eyes were what got Jack,they were a almost crystal blue,thats what his father had liked about him and hired him right on the spot.
Jack slipped into the dining room,where his stepmother was sitting at the head of the table,a grotesqe scowl appearing on her face "And why may I enquire Mr. Sparow do you always manage to get here late?" she asked raising her eyebrows.Jack hated that,but he replied trying not to sneer "I think its proper to arrive fashonably late to every meal stepmother" he said giving her one of his jackal smiles,he made the girls in the room giggle,but they were quickly hushened by their mothers.
