Her name is Trinity Marie and she had been on the deck of the Black Pearl when Jack was mutinied and stranded. Now that she was with him, Will and Liz opted to come too, Jack sets out on a journey to find the "treasure of Atlantis". He and his crew join the League of Pirates (consisted of Blackbeard, Calico Jack Rackham, Anne Bonny, Mary Reed, Black Bart Roberts, etc. etc.). It's a race for the treasure and Jack wins. On a technicallity(sp), Blackbeard, who has appointed himself leader of the league, steals the treasure from Jack and threatens to kill Trinity.

In this story, Jack has spent every last gold piece from the treasure of "Atlantis". Worse, the League has sent word that they were looking for Jack to take back their stolen treasure. While sailing to Tortuga to solve the problem, Trinity finds a the journal of deceased Kydd, and reads that he had betrayed them. Out of spite, Trintiy decides she really wants to go to Tortuga now to buy the man that killed him a drink. The League kidnapps the children while Jack's back is turned. Long story short, Jaden escapes on his own and they get kidnapped again by Kydd, who turned out not to be dead. Jack gets them back and some deaths insue...guess who?? Trintiy decides she can't be a pirate anymore because she feels that it's too dangerous so she leaves all by her onesies to live in England...

Chapter Three

"You feel slimmer, Luv. Are you hungry?" Jack held tight around my waist. He said it was to keep himself steadied, but I think it was because he didn't want to let me go. He ushered me over to a table and pulled out the chair for me.

"What did you call me before?"

"What? I didn't call you anything..."

"That name. Trinity? Who's Trinity?"

Jack leaned back in his chair and placed his feet on the table. He had a unfamiliar look on his face of the utmost concern. "Well...you are."

The look on his face broke my heart. I remember who he was, but I couldn't remember who I was. I studied his expression for a moment. Lines formed the corners of his nose, reaching down to his mouth. His brows were squinted, and joining in the middle of his forehead. I continued to stare at the utter disbelief on this man's face. He clearly buried all his sorrows in his eyes.

I stared into his eyes. The dark brown ovals fought to keep themselves dry as tiny specs of copper shimmered under the crude tavern lighting. So much emotion was welled up in his eyes.

Mazy placed food in front of us and held out her hand, waiting payment. Jack broke his trance, then fished in his pockets for some silver pieces. He signaled for her to wait as he trying to find more. "And a room, Mazy. I'm sure Miss..."

"Knapp." I spoke. My voice was barely audible over the roars of the other drunken men.

"Ah...well, Miss Knapp must be tried." He sighed.

Even though I knew I was married to him, before I was married to the other Jack (which, thank God, made that marriage null), I didn't want to push my brain to any extremes to remember anything else. I already had a headache, and didn't want anything more.

Jack stood from his chair. "Well Trin... I mean Marie, I hope you have a good night."

"Where are you going?" I pleaded. I didn't want him to leave, really I didn't. In my mind, this man, my husband, was the guiding light through my foggy memory. I felt that he, and only he, could help me remember everything. "Please don't go."

He wouldn't look at me. Jack bowed his head and responded in the most depressing voice. "Apparently you don't remember why you left me. I can deduce that because you don't even know who you are. Whatever happened, I'm sure that once you do remember, you'll want to be away from me again." He sounded like he was convincing himself more than me.

I stood up so violently that I knocked the chair over. Jack completely ignored this and continued out the door. What other choice did I have? I ran after him.

Jack was walking very slowly, with his hands stuffed in the pockets of his tattered leather coat. His hat was pulled over his face to hide his expression. I caught up to him and held him by his shoulders. "I need you, though." As soon as the words left my mouth, I had gotten extremely nauseous. "And from the feeling in my gut, I probably never needed someone like I need you. That's probably why I left, because I couldn't deal with only relying on myself. At least that's what I'm feeling."

"You don't remember me. Who knows if you ever will. Why try?"

"I do remember you. It's me that I don't remember." I threw my hands in the air and gave up on this situation. Clearly I couldn't make him understand. Jack saw my frustration and wrapped his arms around my waist. Without thinking, I leaned into his body. "If you say my name is Trinity, then it is."

"Aye, it is."

"What is my surname?" I already knew the answer, but I felt good to hear it.

"Sparrow." He gave my waist a squeeze, then continued walking. He took my hand in his. "So you're coming with me, then?"

"Looks like it."

The Black Pearl was everything I expected. Yes, I remember this ship, too. It seems that everything I once loved became more than clear. I remember twirling around in my scandalously cut dresses. I remembered have fights with Jack, stealing his hat, and having him chase me around the deck. That is, until he eventually got it back and we made up. I remember how he "apologized". I remembered the crow's nest and how I would sit up there for days on end just to think. I remembered the crew.

"Mr Gibbs, Anamaria, Mr. Cotton, Marty..." I sighed. Such a weight was lifted from my shoulders.

Jack stood with a smile on his face. You could tell that this was the first time in a while that he had smiled. It was so dark, I stumbled around the deck. Jack followed me, catching me when I fell. He hadn't sad a word since we had boarded the ship, but his silence said everything. Even though I recognized all this, there was one more thing I was forgetting.

A door squeaked open from somewhere behind me. It scared me a little, but Jack was there with his arm around me. "Captain?"

A boy, about my height, came out from a cabin. His dark, braided hair and his small frame hid him from sight. I didn't need to see him, though. I knew his voice. I ran towards the figure and threw my arms around his shoulders. "Jaden!"
