SMALL WARNING: This chapter does not come after the previous one, it takes place during the previous one, before Jack comes inside Angelica's cabin, that is all :)

A convent. A convent in Seville, to be precise. Further, it was a Spanish convent in Seville. Many devoted themselves the convent and to their god. Many never stepped foot outside the convent. But, two young ladies, sisters, actually, did.

Sometimes it takes heartbreak to get where you need to be. A young lady named Angelica Teach would know this. A few days before the events that happened to her, she would think the convent was where she was meant to be, but all that changed when she met someone very special, and her life changed forever.

Angelica had been staring out her window, for probably an hour, at least it seemed that way. She had been with her sister, her real sister, for a few minutes, and they both departed and went to their separate rooms, not that the rooms were too far, four doors apart. So they would visit each other when they could do so.

She was thinking, her thoughts weighing down. She would take her vows in only a few days from then. She would be a nun. She would never leave the convent. She knew that kind of life wasn't for her. She wanted to see things, from close up, not from her window. But the chances of that happening seemed to get smaller and smaller for her as they days continued to pass, but as she stared out the window, she thought about everything. And it all seemed overwhelming to her.

She knew she wanted more, but she also knew this was the only life she knew. She lost her mother a long time ago, and she had never met her father, though her mother told stories, stories that made him seem like a cruel, ignorant, evil man, who didn't care about Angelica, her sister, or even her mother. All was true, or course, he didn't, per say, know about Angelica, or Isabella, and Mary was just another forgotten wife, he had thirteen or them, could you really blame him?

Her life hadn't been much in her eyes, sometimes it just takes a pirate looking for a brothel to change everything. Sometimes, it takes heartbreak to get where you need to be. And, a young lady named Angelica Teach would know that.

Isabella Teach had grown up in the same convent, by the time Angelica was close to being a woman, she was in her teen years, possibly less. Many years had past since she was a child by the time she had become Second Mate to the Queen Anne's Revenge, and her sister was the First Mate. They sailed under the Captain of the vessel, Edward Teach, famously know as Blackbeard, with, of course, a bushy, and slightly braided, black beard to match his infamous title.

She was a Latina, same as her older sister. Angelica had a cross around her neck, one of her few ways to keep her ties with what she believed in, and possibly still could. Instead of a cross, Isabella wore a simple medallion, inside was a picture of her mother, the woman she barely remembered, but loved with all her heart. She prayed that one day she would meet her mother again, if, she was still alive, when she set off to find Blackbeard, they never heard from her again.

That fact of course made both her and Angelica know they would probably never see her face again, except for when she opened her medallion. When she did open her medallion, she might occasionally shed a single tear, but nothing more.

Memories of her past was not something she liked to dawn on. They hurt her sometimes, although she didn't like to speak about those types of things. She wasn't a defenseless little kid anymore, she was a pirate, and she could protect herself now. Although she had plenty of allies she would put her trust into, friends as well, most she met in Tortuga and other places where she and Angelica sometimes went before they found Blackbeard, and sailed on the ship they called home.

Sometimes it takes strength to get where you need to be, Isabella knew this, it was one of the many things she learned from Jack Sparrow, indirectly of course. She learned them from Angelica, but she claimed to learn them from the pirate she used to have feelings for, so she owed a bit of her piracy to him, another thing she wouldn't admit to anyone, even her own sister, who she trusted her with anything and everything. Except a few things she kept to herself, and those things were hers, and hers alone.

To be clear, this was just what both Angelica and Isabella were dreaming/flashbacking before they got woken up when Jack came into her room :D
