A/N: This is my first PoTC fic so bear with me if I have wrong grammar. Anyway, this is dedicated to all Jack fans, especially to my friends who inspired me to write this fic. Please review, so that I will have an idea on what to write next.

Disclaimer: I don't own PoTC and its characters. I only own the people you don't recognize from the movie. Hail Disney for making PoTC.

When I Found You

Chapter 1: The Announcement

The moon shined brightly in the clear night sky. All is peaceful, all is bright. For people are now getting ready to sleep, ready to be in their own wonderful dreams. Except for a man who is wondering of what will happen to him when they dock, and a woman who want freedom.

~*~*~*~

Jack was standing at the helm, watching the island as it gets nearer and nearer. He was feeling excited to meet his friend Will, and to find out on what was going on with him and Elizabeth. He was distracted when he heard footsteps getting near him. He turned his head to the direction and saw Gibbs walking towards him.

"Captain, we will be arrivin' at Port Royale in about 'alf an 'our".

He nodded, turning back to the island. Thinking of the things he will do when they reach the island.

"Aren't ye worried, Captain?" Gibbs asked, worry can be seen in his face.

"Worried about what, Gibbs?" he asked, raising an eyebrow to his first mate.

"Don't ye remember, Captain?" ye were nearly hung at this place. Aren't ye worried that ye will be caught by the Royal Navy again?"

"Did ye forget, Gibbs? I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. They'll never catch me. Savvy?" he said, grinning, flashing his gold teeth.

"Whatever ye say Captain". Gibbs turned back and headed straight to his cabin. "Just hope he won't be caught by Norrington again," he whispered and turned his head and saw Jack staring at the island again, he seemed to be lost in his own thoughts.

"I wonder how it feels to be a pirate. How it feels to free," Toni thought as she stood in front of her window, staring at the sea. She was sick of the formality her family taught and expected her to be. If only she had the freedom to choose her life, she would choose the life of a pirate. She had read about them, when she was young. She was amazed by how they live their life, travel and the way they dress. "The female prates don't have to wear corsets. They're lucky." She smiled at that thought. She was disturbed when she heard a knocking on the door.

"Come in."

"Sorry to disturb you, miss, but your father is calling you."

"Ok, Jane. Tell him I'll be down shortly."

Jane bowed and curtsied out of her room. She turned her head to the sea gain and sighed. She really wanted to be free. To be out there in the sea. Exploring islands to travel around the world, and to explore hidden treasures, not that it mattered to her. To feel that you are not owned or controlled by anyone. And most of all, to be anything you want. She stared at the sea one last time, and walked out of her room, heading straight to the living room.

"You called for me, father?" she asked, as she took a seat in front of her parents.

"There's something your mother and I want to talk to you about," her father said as he took a sip from his cup.

"You're father and I have been talking about this for these past few days and we decided that you should marry Eric Crew as soon as possible".

"He fancies you, you know? He even asked permission from us if he can ask your hand for marriage," her father added.

Toni was shocked. She can't believe what she's hearing right now. She wanted to run to her room and cry. Or even leave this house right now and never come back. But she remembered that her parents expected her to have manners. "I'll think about it first". She forced a smile so that her parents won't suspect a thing. "Mother, father, can I be excused? I want to go to bed already".

"Sure dear. Sweet dreams," her mother said and smiled at her daughter.

She hurriedly walked to her room, stopping the tears that are now attempting to fall down. She opened her door and ran directly to the closet. Picking a bag and a couple of things she will need to ran away from this house. After packing, she looked for a dress that can keep her identity hidden. Her servant suddenly came in and was shocked at what se saw.

"What are you doing, miss?"

"I'm running away, Jane. Please don't tell my father about this. I'll just leave him a letter so he can read it himself."

"But remember, miss, your father is the vice-governor. He will surely find you in anyway he can."

"Let him fine me. I don't want to be married to Eric. All I want is to be free."

"Be careful, miss. I can help you escape. I'll call you later when everybody is asleep."

She hugged Jane, grateful that she is willing to help her. "Thanks Jane. You're really a nice friend."

She sat down in front of her desk to write a letter to her parents, hoping that they won't worry about her when she leave.

~10 minutes later~

"You can leave, miss. Your parents are asleep right now."

She eyed her room for a moment, recalling the memories she is going to leave behind. She placed the letter on her nightstand, so that her parents can see it. she looked around her room one last time, and walked towards the door.
