Itchy and I made our hide out a few years back. Troller yelled at Itchy and I a lot, and we got tired of it. We needed an escape, a retreat, a place where no one could find us. Our hide out was in a cellar of an abandoned building behind the orphanage. The cellar door was so obvious, that no one could guess where it was. When you go through the cellar, you turn to the left and there's a small hole at the bottom of the wall. I can barely fit through it, but when you get through the door, you see a small room, lined with blankets, food, and water. There were big, squishy pillows and blankets on the ground. The place was amazingly warm against winters and amazingly cool during the summers. I knew Troller has never suspected us of staying here.

Once me and Itchy climbed in, he started jumping around the room, smiling and singing Mary had a Little Lamb. I smiled but aid "Settle down"

At once he sat with glassy eyes staring at me, like he was expecting me to do a back flip.

"Okay Itchy, what pirate story do you want me to tell you? Blackbeard? Mary Reed? Who?" I asked

"That one bloke? What's his name? Oh yeah! Jack Sparrow." Itchy exclaimed.

"Captain... Captain Jack Sparrow." I said softly. Itchy knew he was the pirate I knew mot about, for I looked for Sparrow stories more than others.

So I began a fast, adventure-packed story of the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow. I started when he landed in Port Royal, 3 years ago. I remembered the day well. It was the promotion of James Norrington, who now is apparently dead as I hear. He was also going to propose to one, Elizabeth Swan, who instead of saying no, fell into the ocean without a word. Well, Jack was fast-talking as two guards caught him trying to steal a ship at the time, and sees Elizabeth and jumps into the ocean to save her.

"Did he love her?" Itchy said, eyes widened

"Well…." I started. "It was really complicated. So anyway-"

I was broken off by a pounding on the cellar door. I hushed Itchy as I heard the door open. I heard some footsteps to us, and a small figure climbed into the hideout. It was a tall, golden-haired girl, with big gold eyes. She was really skinny, and boney, but she had this beautiful face structure, and a button nose. We used to tell her she was a princess who was taken to the orphanage by bandits. She would laugh and show us the scars on her wrists from when her father would beat her. That made us shut up.

Her name was Victoria, and she was my best friend.

"What the hell was that for? " I yelled at her, throwing a pillow.

"Easy, easy Clarice." She said, throwing it back. "Troller wants everyone in the dinning room. He said it was of utmost importance, and a new orphan is here. He seems to be a boy, 'bout our age."

I scowled, at the thought of meeting him. "This place has enough boys already!"

Itchy got up. "No it ain't!" Without another word, he crawled out of the hideout. I sighed and followed him .Thankfully, missing meals has made it easier to crawl in and out of the place.
