Late at night. . .
Ever since Madeleine was taken, Jack hasn't been sleeping. Instead, he has been pacing around his cabin worrying and wondering over his dear daughter. Jack felt hope that they would find her. He never gave up searching for her. He turned to look out the window and sighed. It has already been a week since the quest began. Jack went into her cabin and sat there. He looked around her room and talked to Jaguar, who seemed to be a lonely kitty. Jack reassured him that Madeleine would return. He just doesn't know when.
Early next morning. . .
Madeleine never slept on the Blue Sky. She found it eerie and odd, especially since Lord Beckett was right next door. Madeleine found it confusing how carefully they treated her, and then she was always reminded how she will become Lord Beckett's daughter when they return to Port Royal. After this is all over, She thought to herself. I'm NOT going back to that island. Madeleine thought about Jaguar and her father. She thought of the good times she had with friends. She smiled to herself when Miranda entered.
"Good morning Miss Sparrow," Miranda smiled.
"Good morning Miranda!" She smiled back.
Miranda was the only person on this ship that referred to her as Miss Sparrow. Everyone else called her Madeleine or Miss Beckett. She never wanted to be Miss Beckett because after all Jack told her, she hates him.
"Miss Sparrow," Miranda said quietly. "You seem depressed."
Madeleine couldn't take it and replied crying, "Of course I am! My father, friends, and my cat have all been taken away from me! I feel alone."
Miranda gave Madeleine a hug, "I think I can help you."
Madeleine gave her a confused look, "How?"
The Black Pearl. . .
They had searched two EITC ships and neither of them had a child aboard, let alone 10 year old girl. Jack thought they found someone, but they turned out to be a very short adult. The point is that they weren't giving up on finding her. Jack was so distraught that he didn't even want his rum. He let Jaguar sleep in his room, because the tiny feline was his reminder of little Maddie.
Jaguar softly meowed as Jack pet him. He started to talk to Jaguar, because he was lonely.
"You're a furry one," Jack whispered. "Maddie is just fine, I hope. I am positive we will find her. I have this feeling everything will be fine. What about you?"
Jaguar looked up at him with his blue eyes. All he said in response was, "Meow."
Aboard the Blue Sky late at night. . .
Miranda helped Madeleine pack what little she had left of her things and went into the long boat. Madeleine kept thanking Miranda because she was her only friend on the dreadful vessel. In the middle of the night, they prepared the small boat with enough food and water for a few weeks. Just until they got help.
Even though it was dark, they heard weird noises. Miranda reassured her that everything would be fine. While they carefully crept around the deck, Madeleine thought of everything that happened in since she first met her father. She smiled to herself at the memory of first meeting him.
Scarlett mouthed thank you and continued crying. Jack sat there and held her while Madeleine watched from a distance. Why is Mommy crying, and why is Captain Jack Sparrow holding her? She asked herself. Madeleine heard her mother tell the captain to be a good father to her. WHAT? Madeleine yelled inside her head. The infamous Captain Jack Sparrow she grew up reading about was indeed her father.
Madeleine and Miranda stepped into the long boat. Her trip down memory lane was cut short when swords were pointed at their necks.
"Well, what do we have here?" Lord Beckett said with his signature evil grin. "My future daughter with an escape attempt. She is just like that Sparrow."
Madeleine stood up, looked him in the eye and said, "I will never be your daughter."
His expression turned harsh and cold, "Lock both of them in the brig."
