A little piece of Aurora's past

*Jack's P.O.V*

I found quite amazing today. Trying to steal some loaves of bread, I bumped into

this girl named aurora. She stared crying and the torment that crossed her face mad me

want to hug her. But alas I'm a stranger and I probably would have gotten slapped silly.

Girls and their scurvy slaps. It was amazing to see how quickly she responded to my

invitation to meet again. I can tell she's smart and is quick to think. It makes me wonder

about that bruise on her check. Her gorgeous brownish-reddish eyes seemed puffy like

she had already cried previously to their meet. Finding myself attracted to her I

immediately wanted to see her again. I slow grin crossed his face as he lied down in his

cabin aboard the black pearl, and pulled his three cornered hat down over his face. Well

I'm just going to have to see what this lass brings. And with that I immediately fell

asleep.
*Aurora's P.O.V* I came home today with a smile on my face, humming to myself. It was a good

thing father wasn't here to see this or I would have gotten an even bigger bruise on the

other check. Remembering the handsome stranger she meet, she silently cursed herself

for crying so easily like that. My father must have been drinking because grog was all

over the place. Its odor hung in the air, smelling like rotten eggs. Every time she smelt

that fear gripped her heart. It always meant that she had done something wrong. Every

night the same question runs through my head,"Why am I here and why does he hate me

for something that out of my control"? Every night I would cry, wishing someone would

take me away from this place. Even out of Port Charles, where I am now. My mom tried to leave Alex because she felt the sea call her. He never knew she

was a pirate until one night. She finally admitted to him for being a pirate, I was only a

baby then. She had every intention of leaving with me but the next morning people told

me that she disappeared mysteriously. Ever since then my father has beat me within an

inch of my life. Shuttering, I stopped my thoughts trying to think of happier things. My

mind wandered to the pirate she met today. Jack seemed interesting and she couldn't

help but wonder why he swayed around like he was drunk. But all the same she loved

the way he called her "love". He said it with a lightness and it felt good to her those

words again. I closed my eyes picturing his face. I was so tired that I didn't change out

of my clothes. Feeling the soft pillow against my skin I decided to follow my word and

go see jack. He might be my only chance to escape. Then sleep came upon me.
