I had to take a short break from my X-men fanfic and my obsession with my babe, Pyro, so I began to write a 'Pirates of the Carribean' fanfic. PLEASE write me some some reviews, people!

All righty, then. I own very few of these characters- Kailah and John I own definately. More will come. I don't remember the names of the ship mates, so they have been changed.

It was almost 20 years after the curse of the Black Pearl had been lifted, and Captain Jack Sparrow, as well as his ship mates had been on the sea for much of that time, stopping occasionally for a drink and a quick girl or two.

Nearly seventeen years ago, the babe of and old friend of Jack's, a pirate as well, had been placed in the care of Captain Jack and his crew. Captain Jack saw to it that the babe grew to be happy and content, as he would have, had it been his very own.

The crew was a bit weary at first of having the child aboard, as it was a girl, but Jack insisted, and besides, one of the crew was female, herself.

And so the babe grew to be a beautiful, seventeen or so year old with long, wavy, brown hair, sea-green eyes, and tanned skin from being on deck in the sun every day. She was small-framed, slim, and limber, and often helped out with duties the crew were too tall or large for.

Kailah, as she'd been named, quite enjoyed life on the sea. She knew, fully well, what she was missing out on- she'd spent half a year on land with William and Elisabeth Turner in order to get a 'proper' education, but she was NOT happy with it. She was picked back up when the Black Pearl passed through again.

The school teachers there had known nothing of the ocean, and the ocean was Kailah's passion. She could tell, days ahead, when it would rain, whether the sea would be calm or rough, and unlike most girls her age, she could swim, and fairly well.
