Hey guys, sorry it took so long to update, I could never find time to write but it's here now, so please enjoy.


Chapter 2

They arrived down at the docks, Jack holding the glass bottle containing his beloved Black Pearl in his arms.

"We need a ship" Jack pointed out.

"That isn't a problem though."

"Really, why's that?"

"Follow me" She took Jack down to the very end of the docks and stopped in front of a large vessel. "This is our ship." Jack stared at it and noticed the name.

"The Red Gem, nice ship" he whispered to himself.

There was a girl who saw them and ran over to Angelica and hugged her, who hugged her back tightly, she was aged about fourteen and dressed slightly pirate; Jack had noticed she had the same eyes as Angelica.

"Fran, what's up?"

"I thought you'd left again" tears filled up in the girl's eyes and she looked at Angelica.

Angelica knelt down and stared at Fran in the eyes "I will not leave again, I promise to you as my daughter." Jack's eyes widened in disbelief "I deeply regret leaving you last time as it turns out my father would rather I would die so he could live."

"What do you mean?"

"I'll tell you all about it later, I promise."

"May I ask about the 'daughter' part?" Jack asked.

"She's my daughter Jack."

"Ok, how old?"

"Fourteen."

Jack went over this piece this information "the very first time we met was fourteen years ago."

Angelica nodded "exactly, I'll speak with you in a minute."

"What are you two on about?" Fran looked at her mother questioningly.

"Fran this is Captain Jack Sparrow" Angelica stood up straight again.

"Thank you for remembering the captain part."

"You're welcome, how's the Pearl."

"She's tiny and in a bottle."

"Yes anyway, Fran this is and I know this isn't the best way you tell you or him but this is your father and don't bother saying you weren't ever that drunk, because you were, I was there."

"So I am actually her father?" Jack nearly collapsed and had to steady himself with one of posts that lined the docks.

"Yes and this is her ship," Angelica pointed to the vessel behind her "so don't even try to become captain."

"I won't, why would I do that?"

"I'm not deaf, I heard you admiring the ship, plus I also know you like to be in control."

"It's a nice ship but if it belongs to my...daughter then fine I won't."

"Anyway, I promised to tell you about what happened, Fran so I will" Angelica picked up her daughter and sat her on a post.

"Mum, not in front of the crew."

"Aww, don't you want to be embarrassed by your mother who got you the ship."

"Anyway this story of yours, what's it about."

"This tale is about my journey to the Fountain of Youth."

"What happened?"

"At the start, it turned out we needed Jack to help as he had the navigational charts which we needed. So I disguised myself as him and went around recruiting hoping it would gain his attention and it did, we met again in the back room of The Captain's Daughter. We had a small duel and he only knew it was me because I did my signature move."

"It is a good move" Jack told her.

"Yeah and I'm failing at learning it" Fran told her mother who looked at her quizzically. "What, do you forbid me from learning it?"

"Of course not, but it is a dangerous move."

"Well teach it to me so I don't get it wrong, so I don't get injured like I already have done" Angelica's eyes widened in complete shock as her daughter showed her a scar running along her arm. "One year ago on this day, I missed you so much, so I thought I'd try to pull off the move no one else can do, except you, to remind myself of you, but it went wrong, the blade caught my arm, I couldn't use it for two months and I had to put my arm in a sling, I didn't have the comfort of my mother to get rid of the pain, I never tried it again in case I caused myself an even worse injury."

"I'm here now, if only there was some way you could have contacted me."

"Will you teach it to me then?"

"Of course hun, but how about I finish off my story first."

"Okay."

"We talked for about two minutes until Scrum burst in saying the King's men were here, we tried to hide but we decided to fight them, there were too many of them, luckily we were standing on a trap door which was above the river. I hit the lever and we plummeted into it. Of course I still had the task of persuading him onto the ship but I had a plan, one of the crew shot a dart into which knocked him out for twelve hours. We carried him on to the ship and when he woke up he found himself on a hammock and working as part of the crew. He found out I was first mate his second day and that night he lead a mutiny against the ship. He came down to me first before he started fighting while the others, he checked I was safe, of course I got annoyed when I heard fighting..."

"What did you actually shout at me in Spanish? I couldn't understand as you were speaking too fast."

"Desgraciado means wretch."

"I knew that but after that part."

"Ven aquĆ­ o te arranco la cabeza" she said it very slowly so Jack and her daughter can understand. "It means 'Come here or I'll rip of your head."

"That was a bit harsh to say."

"I was agitated, I was woken from my sleep" she smiled.

Jack bowed "Me apologies Miss" Jack took off his hat and put it to his chest.

"You're forgiven."

"Can you continue with the story?" Fran asked.

"Yes. Jack locked me in my room; I stabbed my sword through the door centimetre's from his head, once he thought I was secure and safe, he left to join the fight, I escaped moments later and joined as well but I was tired and quickly overpowered, they captured me and then the rest of the higher ranking crew. They, well Jack announced the ship as theirs but just then Blackbeard walked out saying he had heard an unlawful noise on deck and men were running from their posts without orders, he asked me what was going on, my reply was mutiny and he asked me again, I told him again it was mutiny, he went on about something, I stopped listening but before my eyes the rigging came to life, entangling them. Blackbeard then asked who stood watch, that night the cook was killed mercilessly. I thought my father's soul could be saved still though, despite his crimes. Afterwards he captured Jack and made a voodoo doll of Jack, speaking of which Jack that washed up onto the island when I was there, do you want it back?"

"No you look after it, I amazingly trust you with it."

"How about we give it to Fran?"

"I'll lock it into my desk for you and keep it safe."

"Ok, now back to the story, Blackbeard gave me the doll to look after it. A couple of nights later Jack asked me to meet him late at night on deck, so I did. He started to try to seduce me to get info out of me. He failed big time obviously, but he did get the info he wanted out of me, the ritual of the Fountain of Youth. Afterwards we headed to Whitecap Bay to capture a mermaid, mermaids are attracted to light and singing, we lit a mechanism that produced a beacon of light which we settled onto one of the ships, they started singing and soon the mermaids came, when mermaids attack they attack with brute force, normally men are their targets but they tried to go for me as well, Jack saved me and came with a great idea to save the crew, the light we using to bring them to us Jack destroyed it and then Blackbeard used his magical ship to get rid of them, we needed a single tear mermaids tear for the ritual, we captured a mermaid eventually, thanks to Philip, the missionary in our crew, he regretted it as soon as he saw the way we treated the mermaid, he named her to prove she wasn't a monster or creature but human; Syrena. Later we came to a broken bridge, this is when your father jumped off a cliff so I didn't have to do it, I was walking towards the edge of the cliff, about to break into a run, when he grabbed my arm, stopped me and jumped off himself. My father had sent him off to find the cups off Juan Ponce de Leon, they were on his ship. By this point Philip had fallen in love with Syrena by this point and Syrena nearly cried but she held in her tears when we 'killed' Philip, but I stabbed him with a knock-out dart similar to the one we used to get your father aboard. He awoke later and ran back to Syrena and freed her, she cried in happiness, we were waiting out of sight in a sort of ambush, and Syrena released a tear in happiness out of seeing Philip. We went for it immediately, we tied her back up to die and bound Philip's hands so he couldn't rush back. I wasn't exactly happy about leaving Syrena to die but I wasn't given a choice by my father. Jack led the rest of the way and we came to a small opening in the mountains, it looked like what was a series of lakes below us when it wasn't really just well a very shallow river. At first we didn't believe= Jack knew where he was going because we came to a dead end this cave. But when he used the cups to shield himself from being shot he saw some words on the side. 'Aqua' was on one cup and 'de Vida' on the other one. He read them out and we found our entrance. A few minutes afterwards another crew turned up captained by the one-legged man."

"One-legged man, what's the one-legged man?" Fran gave her mother a questioning look.

"The quartermaster can predict the future and he predicted that a one-legged man will kill my father, that's what started of this whole quest. The prophecy came true at the fountain, he stabbed him, I rushed over to him, Jack said 'Angelica don't, the blade is poisoned' when I picked it up but it was too late. The blade had cut my hand and the poison was making its way through my blood stream. The one-legged man took my father's sword and crew as ay-back for taking his ship and leg-"

"Err, my ship thank you."

"-for taking Jack's ship but he called it his at the time and walked away, the Spaniards had arrived before my father was stabbed and they were content with destroying the fountain, which succeeded again, there was a trickle left though, they also threw the cups into a deep pool, they thought they could never be recovered again but Philip had snuck off and freed Syrena, she brought the cups up to Jack, who ran over to the fountain and put some of the water in each and put the tear in one, he tricked my father into drinking the cup without the tear, he saved my life, I was confused and more than happy to die for my father, because of my religion. Next thing I knew my father was turning into a pile of bones. Ten minutes later my hands were tied up and we were sailing to a remote island in the middle of nowhere. When we were there some things were said and Jack was gone. I saw my father's ship and I made a signal, they came over for me and I arrived in Tortuga, when I saw you Fran I was so happy even if I had lost my father. Now, here we are."

"Awesome" someone from the ship called to Fran. "The men and the ship is ready to go."

"Let's board" Fran took her mother's and her father's hand and jumped off the post.
