A/N: Hey guys thanks for the few of you who reviewed you made me smile loads. Sorry I havent updated sooner but as I promised here I am with another chapter. Enjoy!!

"I cant believe I actually did it" Kate whispered to herself smiling at her own boldness as she pulled her bag across her shoulders and pushed her hair behind her ear.

She had to admit this was by far the adventurous and at the same time scariest thing she'd ever done, if her mother could see her now she would be in a lot of trouble. She would never be allowed out this late and she was sure her mother would soon notice that something wasn't right. Kate narrowed her eyes and scoffed at her own thoughts "No she wouldn't" she argued with herself "She doesn't care about anyone except herself!" she folded her arms across her chest as she wandered the streets alone, not really noticing the occasional odd glance in her direction.

She made her way ,as far away from the direction of her house, to east not really sure why she had chosen East herself it was just something that attracted her to go.

She stopped for a few minutes to rest her aching feet, she sat on a rock and pulled her boot off and began to gently rub her foot trying to soothe her throbbing heel, wincing when her fingers brushed against a sensitive area. Soon a blister would form and she hated those. She secretly cursed Thomas Knowles. He was the first person she went to after climbing from her bedroom window and disappearing into the night.

The young boy peered down from his window rubbing his tired eyes and somewhat scared by the prospect of this young girl throwing small rocks at his window at such late an hour.

"Kate?" he whispered down to her wearily,

"Thomas get dressed we're going on an adventure" she whispered smiling up to him excited by what adventures and games she had planned for them both "make haste or it'll be a lashing for you….you scurvy dog!" she giggled at her attempt at pirate talk. "Come on we can be real pirates!"

The young boy scratched his head "Kate we'll be pirates in the morning, mother would be furious if she caught me playing pirates in the middle of the night" he said "We'll play in the morning"

"But this isn't a game Thomas, I'm really leaving I'm going to be a pirate and not like in our games either" She replied putting her hands on her hips getting a little irritated by her friends attitude.

"Kate, I cant I'm sleepy" he said rubbing his eyes again and Kate stomped her foot angrily looking back up to him narrowing her eyes "Well fine then stay here, I'm going to go off and have great big adventures just on my own and you'll be stuck here!" she hissed back "goodbye Thomas!"

With that she stormed away towards a life of adventure.

So far it hadn't really been a grand adventure like she'd read in her books, it was cold and she was starting to get hungry and bored of trying to remember that song her mother sang to her when she was younger.

She sat on the rock and sighed, so when do my adventures start then? she asked herself looking around waiting for one to fall from the sky. She brought her bag from across her shoulders and placed it on her lap and opened it deciding that now was the time to eat her bread as her tummy began to rumble away at her. As she ate her bread she imagined what her mother would be doing at that moment. Would she be out looking for her? Would she even know?

"Of course not" she scoffed "She wouldn't even notice I'm gone," she said and noticed that her voice sounded much more sadder than she wanted it to, "no, sir she wouldn't," she looked back in the direction of her house hidden a few miles or so back behind the hills , she could picture her mother lying there in her bed with her arms wrapped around that chest not even bothering if her daughter was gone or not. Kate scrunched her eyes and her fists and shook thoughts of her mother out of her head "You'll see I'll have adventures and I wont lie about none of them, no sir not one!"

She pulled her bag back across her shoulders and pulled her boot back on her foot and carried on her journey.

An hour or two later she reached a small town, lights were lit around the streets so people could see where to walk and there was a dock where boats and ships of all sizes were tied up. At the end of the dock there was a man with grey hair that grew from his ears and down his face sitting on a chair hugging a big book, he was asleep with his head hunched over snoring very loudly and she giggled uncontrollably when he leaned to one side of his body and a sound erupted from his breeches. "Ugh boys!" she laughed.

She made her way towards the town inspecting some more and wondering if she could at least find somewhere to pee as she found herself desperate after being so close to the waters edge when inspecting the sleeping man.

She tried to squeeze her legs shut tight enough hoping that the feeling would go away but it didn't and she needed to find a bucket of some sort. After sneaking behind an alley and finding no other option that to pee in a bush she looked around embarrassed by what she was about to do and hoping that no-one would see her. She quickly dropped her breeches and did her business as quick as she could then tied them up again and hurried on along.

As she came further into the town she could smell something that she couldn't recognize and it made her curious as to what it was, she followed her nose through alleyways toward the strange smells and was pleased with what she found.

She looked around fascinated by the events going on around her, there was loud music being played people dancing in the street merrily and people hugging each other close. Some women were kissing the men on the cheeks and whispering word into the ears making the men smile.

Fascinated by what she saw she couldn't choose which part of the town she wanted to explore first, that's when she noticed a dog wandering around the crowds and her eyes lit up "Here boy!" she exclaimed running after the dog following it into an alleyway, "come here boy, come here, good boy" she cooed but it didn't stop, neither did she.

She finally caught up to the dog in a quieter alleyway and sat beside it stroking it's fur and patting it's head smiling away to herself, wondering if she could have her adventure with her new friend "I'll call you Scabbs it's a proper pirate name that it" she said.

She was thrown by her thoughts by a voice a deep scratchy voice "well, well, well what do we have here then?"

Suddenly scared Kate turned around to see a very large man making his way towards her, she quickly moved away from the dog and began to run down another alley calling her new friend to follow her but at the same time attracting the attention of the strange scary man who began to follow her and started to walk quickly behind her.

"Come her little 'un I wont hurt ye," he kept saying to her but she didn't slow down. She could hear him getting closer and closer and her chest began to thump terribly in her chest, at that moment she didn't like the idea of adventure so much anymore.

"Oi ye little wench come here, I've got something for ye!" the man shouted and Kate started to run quicker and quicker when suddenly she came to a stop and was forced back on the floor.

She didn't comprehend what had happened at first then she looked up to find someone looking down at her someone she recognized but couldn't think where from……

Jack had been sitting in a bar drinking his tog of rum and talking to his first mate about their next heading when a big busted blonde headed harlot caught his attention.

He signalled for her to come over and he made his knee available for her to perch onto. Smiling away at himself when she laughed at all of his saucy jokes thus making the harlot throw her head back and laugh giving Jack full access to her heaving bosom.

He leaned towards the girl "Fancy a stroll?" he asked

"Now I demand payment before I go anywhere with you sir" she said

"What even for a walk through some alleyway?" he said his hands brushing up and down her arm making the girl tingle up and down her spine.

"Oh Captain, we both know what you want to do to me in that alleyway and I demand payment for any frolicking you may have in mind." she said then she looked around making sure no-one could hear her she leaned closer to him "and I'll give you twice as much as I would anyone else"

This made Jack's eyes widen slightly and he almost purred when she stroked his neck "well then my pretty little nymph lets get into said alleyway so you can show me just how much more your willing to give."

The harlot laughed and grabbed his hand, Jack waved off his first mate and grinned like a cat as he got closer to the tavern door, he needed what she was offering desperately , it had been another long trip without any female company ,and he couldn't get out of the bar quick enough to get started on what he's been missing out on.

When they reached the door the girl dragged him into the nearest alleyway and pushed him against the wall claiming his lips, not really wanting to kiss the young girl fully on the mouth, something he rarely did, he captured her wrists and turned them around so she had her pushed against the wall nuzzling her neck. He tried to drown out the gasps and the moans coming from the pretty little whore he was about to fondle with and instead thought about another little blonde, said blonde who would now be wrapped up in bed with her husband on his arrival.

Had it really been 10 years already? He quickly shook that thought from his head and carried on nipping and licking the young girls neck making a slow trail down to her chest……when suddenly he felt something hit his leg . He pulled himself away from the harlot who groaned in protest and he looked down to the child lying by his feet.

His eyes widened

"no it couldn't be" he thought, "could it?"

He looked down onto the petrified face of none other than his loves daughter, the Pirates King's child. The one thing keeping him and his beloved Lizzie apart. Katherine Turner…
