As the days dragged on Sonia couldn't help but feel more and more lonely each passing day. She knew Norrington wanted something with her. It was fairly easy to tell from the way he looked at her, but she just didn't feel the same as he did. She did accept the fact that he was pretty good looking but that was it. There was no other attraction to him other that physical, and she honestly did not want to get involved with a man just for his body. And then there was the captain. With him she did feel some sort of attraction, she just couldn't help feeling that he was purposely hiding something from her. When she asked him if he had a wife or girlfriend he quickly changed the topic and adverted her eyes for the rest of the day. She wondered if maybe there was somebody else and he was just playing with her, but he did not seem like that kind of man to her. Then again she had been wrong before. She didn't want to think about that right now though, right now all that mattered to her was that she was lonely and no one was willing to do anything about it. "I guess I'll have to take matters into my own hands." she said to herself as she exited the cabin in which she had been in for the past half hour.
"What exactly were you doing in there for so long?" asked Bootstrap Bill as soon as he saw her exit. She didn't really like this man. He seemed to be suspicious of her somehow. Not to mention that every time she talked to Will he seemed to mind a bit. "Nothing Bootstrap, I was just thinking about my life. Umm, where's the captain?" Bootstrap didn't like this. This girl was getting to interested in Will, and he wasn't going to let this girl get in the way of his son and his wife. He had noticed a change in Will though, ever since this girl came on board Will had seemed happier. But he wasn't going to let Will forget Elizabeth. He had to do everything in his power to not let that happen. "The capn's not here right now, he went off to see some dead folks to the other world. And I don't think he'll return for a couple of hours so why don't you just stop fooling around with your thoughts and get back to work!"
Now she was mad. Who did this man think he was to be ordering her around. He was not the captain and she certainly was not going to let this old man boss her around like some kind of maid. "Listen you old codfish! You are not the captain and I will not listen to anyone else but the captain. And furthermore, I am going to fool around with my thoughts as much I want because as far as I know no one can control what I can and cannot think!!" Bootstrap was furious. If it wasn't because of his son he would undoubtedly at this very moment kick her out of this ship. Unfortunately he did not have that kind of power seeing as he wasn't the captain, and although his son was, he wasn't going to meddle in his duties as captain. He was so angry that he started yelling at her. After a while they were both yelling at each other so loudly that they did not hear Will coming. At the sight of the two Will yelled out as loud as he could, "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!!"
It had been almost a week and Elizabeth was starting to feel anxious. They had not had any luck in locating the certain pirate, she was starting to get pretty tired of calling him that and finally decided to ask Jack what his name was. "Hey Jack, what is this certain pirate's name anyway?" Jack was busy playing with his gun when she asked this. "Oh, well I don't actually know his name but I do know that everyone calls him Ol' Barracuda." "Ol' Barracuda? That's a strange name, why does everyone calling him that?" asked Elizabeth. "Oh you see love, the reason why everyone calls him that is because he is indeed a lot like a barracuda. For example, he is always, always in a horrible mood like one, and he is also very ugly like one." "Well, that's just rude! Don't you have any remorse about calling him that?" Jack stared at her amusingly, he didn't understand why she still didn't get it. "One word love, pirate."
On another part of the ship a completely different situation was going on at that very moment. Barbossa was not a man who drank to forget things. No, he wasn't like Jack, Jack drank to forget things, especially women. Ever since he knew this about him he always wanted to ask him if he indeed ever forgot the woman that he was drinking for. Of course whenever he wanted to ask he already had a different woman in his arms. But that was Jack always jumping from girl to girl. He had never known Jack to have one girl for a long period of time, it seemed to him that whenever Jack was starting to feel something for the girl he would immediately run off and disappear for a long time. But, he wasn't like Jack. He couldn't forget women as easily as he could.
He hated this, he hated drinking to forget it never worked he always ended remembering her at one point or another. He missed her. He remembered the first time he saw her, it was in Tortuga. Back then he didn't know about Jack Sparrow, back then he was a more decent man. He remembered that the moment he first laid eyes on her she was crying, crying un-consolably. When he went to comfort he found out she had been lied to. Apparently she had loved a man but he didn't love her and instead played with her emotions until she gave him what he wanted, then he left her. After learning this, he learned her name, "Sylvia," she had said, "Sylvia Castillos." he knew the moment he heard this, that he would never forget her name. After this all he knew for 3 weeks were love, passion, trust and lust. After the third week past he woke up to find her gone.
She had left him and he knew that she was carrying his unborn child. They had made plans to marry a couple of days earlier. But then she started acting different, she was more cold towards him and not as forgiving as she once was. On that morning when he found her gone she left two things, a note stating that she would be fine and that she would show him his child in exactly one year from that day. The other thing she left was a maroon colored dress. He had bought that dress for her when they decided to marry, it was going to be the dress she would use for that day. After that faithful day he changed completely. He became a bitter man and he hated the world. Then he met Jack and decided to join his crew as his first mate. The day he left was the day she promised to show him their child, it had been exactly one year, but he wasn't going to wait for her. He hated her for what she did to him. But not all him hated her, a part of him still ached for her and that part was the part that decided to bring the dress along with him just in case he ever saw her again. That dress was never worn by anyone until approximately of last year, when Elizabeth wore it. When he saw her for the first time in it, it was as if he was seeing Sylvia.
"Barbossa! Barbossa where are you?" Jack brought him out of his thoughts. And he couldn't have been more quick about it. Barbossa hated thinking about Sylvia. "What do you want Jack?" asked Barbossa. As jack laid his eyes on him he knew something was wrong but he didn't bother to ask because he was in a bit of a hurry. "You know more about Ol' Barracuda that I do, so I need you to go to Elizabeth and explain him to her because I can't her to stop talking to me about him. "Oh Jack can you do anything without my help?" and with that Barbossa left him to go talk to Elizabeth.
