___________________________________________-

The next few days on the Hecate went pretty eventless. Hope went around the ship, exploring, she was free to, Barbossa ordered that she is not to be harmed by the crew.

She one day came upon a room that was locked.She knew, however, that it was not the captain's quarters, so she asked, curious, one of the not so fierce crewmembers who didn't ignore her what was in there.

"Don' know, lass.Never opened it 'fore, none o' us.The key's missin', an' to open it by force would damage the spine o' Hecate."

She burned with curiosity, and asked Barbossa himself what was there. She got much the same answer.

__

However, as she entered her cabin at night to sleep, she found on the floor a bronze key, glowing with it's own light.She marveled at how the thing had gotten there.Could it be one of the wicked crewmembers, or Barbossas trick, of some kind?

She picked it up, and knew at once where to go with it.She sneaked to the locked room, and fit the key in the lock.It turned soundlessly.

She pulled open the door, and found the cabin on the other side fully furnished, as a sort of military office.She wondered if Barbossa commandeered the ship from the navy. the room was dim, and a lantern burned on the desk in the middle of the cabin.How could it have been burning for so long since they stole the ship and lost the key?

She looked outside, and saw that the light of dawn made the water sparkle. How could that be? It just turned dark...

She looked at the at the desk, at the many papers on it. A word caught your eyes. Sparrow. She took the handwritten letter out from among the other documents, and read it slowly, with her heart pounding.

"Govenor Swann,

We have successfully caught Jack and Sword Sparrow, and are on our way to Port Royale for the execution.

Young Miss Turner is safe, though a bit shaken by the events.We will bring her back to her rightful parents soon enough.

We should..."

Hope stopped reading at the vauge sound of footsteps.A transparent for eneterd the room...a shadow, a faint figure that Hope reckognised as Commodore Norrington.

He picked up the letter and read it once, and placed it down, along with two rings he had in his hand.As the rings fell from his hand to the desk, they became more than shadow. There was the golden ring the girl reckognised as the Ring of Despair, and it's silver twin, the Ring of Hope.

The shadow Norrington looked up at the door, not noticing Hope in the corner who watched the events with wide eyes.

The sound of footsteps came again, and Hope's eyes widened as she saw a shadow of herself, though much older, enter the room, with the expression of those who are ready to kill.
