"J-Jack Sparrow?" I echoed.

"Captain Jack sparrow." He corrected me with a smile upon his face. The man that had been standing beside him came forward. He was quite tall, handsome, and was too clean to be a pirate.

"I'm Will Turner. And you are?" He asked in a warm tone. My legs went weak, but I kept my ground.

God damned it all! I should have thought of a name before I even started this crazy journey... I cursed myself. I stood there in complete silence, thinking of a name.

"Um...my name?" I asked to stall time.

"Yes, your name." He repeated.

"It's...it's Marion Winding. Son of Jon Winding." I said confidentially. At that point, Jack had turned to me in confusion.

"But I thought Jon only had two daughters." He said curiously.

Damn it all! He's figured it out!! Come on, make up an excuse to get yourself outa this one.. I yelled at myself once more. I was feeling a faint turning in my stomach like someone was putting pressure on it. But in some way it was, because they were staring at me with such anger and confusion, it made me want to run away.

"Well, what you didn't know is that he had an affair with his late wife and had me out on the seas, and I had come to see my half-sister, but it seems she's..." I stopped, seeing the look upon Jack's face. I was a look of pride and happiness.

"Is she still alive?" He asked in somewhat of a whisper. He came closer, his nasty breathe sneaking past my nose, making me wince.

"It seems not." I said with a low voice. His reaction was not as I expected. He cleared his throat and looked out on the sea.

"Right...all right get on the ship. All of you!" He yelled to the crew. He trudged off, looking only at the ground he walked on. I frowned, seeing a great man of power being demolished by his emotions. He had remembered me...

"What's wrong with him?" I asked Will, looking as though I had no clue of what was wrong. Will took a deep breathe, letting it out after a long, cold silence.

"That was his love. His first true love." He stopped, letting me on the ship first. "He's told me about her plenty times. He says she was radiant. She was more beautiful than all the treasure he's ever seen..." His voice trailed on. I could not believe what I was hearing. He loved me. I was this...true love? I had a dazed look upon my face as I looked out on the sea and smiled.

"But," Will's voice cut me off. "She was betrothed to the governor's son. And he left her in agony, becoming a pirate. The pirate you see today I guess." He shrugged.

So that's why he left me...he was jealous! I chuckled. Will looked at me in confusion.

"What? What is so funny that it made you laugh?" He asked. I grabbed my sides, smiling up at the sky.

"Let's just say that his love is most truly alive." I laughed.

"She what?" Will asked with much surprise upon his face. "You lied to Jack?"

"Yes, in a way I did." I smiled.

"Well...let me just say...god job."
