DISCLAIMER: THE CHARACTERS DO NOT BELONG TO ME. SAM DOES. NO MONEY IS BEING MADE OFF THIS STORY.
"Sam!" Sam looked into the direction in which her name was called. She saw Will swaggering towards her. She knew that swagger. "Jack!" she shouted. He appeared before her. "What happened to father luv?" Sam looked at him sternly. "Could you please refrain from giving people rum?" Jack smirked. "Oh come on luv. He needed to get his mind off that bonnie lass. Savvy?" Sam just scowled. "Get a heart, FATHER."
Sam pushed past her father and over to the toppling Will. "Aye Sam." he slurred as he fell into her arms. The rum bottle fell to the ground and shattered. "Not the bloody rum mate!" She could hear her father shout. Sam dragged a laughing Will below deck to a spare bed. She lifted him up onto the bed and sat on the floor. She removed the three corner hat from her head which she had just stoled from her father's.
"Sam you know what?" Sam looked up at Will. "You have beautiful eyes. Just like your father's." Sam tried not to smile. She could feel the girl in her slowly rising. She had to push it back down. "Just sleep it off mate. Savvy?" As Sam turned to leave Will grabbed her arm. He stood up from the bed and looked into her eyes. She felt that pang again. "You know. Your father is incrediably stupid. I knew he would try and get me drunk so, I filled some of the rum bottles with water."
Sam smirked. She then thought back to what he had said about her eyes. She looked up at him as he raised a hand to her cheek and leaned into kiss her. His lips were inches from hers when, "Where is my bloody hat?" Will toppled back onto the bed pretending to be passed out as Jack desended the stairs. "Aye! There's me hat. So ole Willy boy couldn't take the rum?" Sam just smiled back nervously. "I'm going above. Keep an eye on the pirate." Sam swaggered back her father and walked up the stairs.

Sam watched in horror as the flames rose higher from her father's ship. She knew her parents were gone. But she could not cry. She was stranded on an island only seven years old. "Father!" she screamed until her voice ran so hoarse she could no longer cry. The sky was a crimson red that night as young Sam lay on the deserted island. She could still smell the burning wood from the ship that died at sea. Sam Sparrow was left all alone.
Sam let out a painful gasp as she awoke from her dream. She looked around and it was the dead of night. She heard her father mumbling to himself up at the steer. But no one else was to be found. They must all be below deck. Sam sat on the deck her back against the edge of the ship. That's when she saw Will emerge from below deck. He could not see her. He walked to the edge and looked out into the sea. His fine features seemed to be troubled under the blue moonlight. That's when her mind came back to the girl.

Elizabeth awoke with a start. Her eyes darted around the room for a sign of anyone. No one was in her room. Will had been there earlier and she found it painful to listen to him through closed eyes. No one but that girl knew she was awake. That girl. She said her name was Sam Sparrow. Jack had never mentioned a daughter. But then again, he was Jack Sparrow. Elizabeth tried to push back the danger that was growing on her mind. A danger lingered in the horizon that no one, not even Jack, knew. She had been taken by that man. A man who knew of Will and Jack. A man who wanted to hurt Jack and anyone close to him. That's why he had taken her. He had stolen her from her life and made her lie to the one person she so truly loved. He made her hurt Will and make him belive something that wasn't true. All she wanted now was the warmth from Will's arms around her.
Elizabeth pulled on the clothes that had been laid by her bedside. Slowly she opened her door and peered outside. She was below deck. She could hear the laughter of the other pirates on board. How she must sneak past them. Slowly and quietly she made her way above deck. Her eyes gazed around the ship that she had seen so long ago. Old memories shouted at her. A forceful grip made it's way on her shoulder and caused her to gasp quietly.
Elizabeth stared into the eyes of Jack Sparrow. An all too fimilar smirk on his rough face. He had not changed one bit. Everything was the same about him. "Miss Swann. Nice to see you around these parts. What does bring you here?" Elizabeth smiled slightly. "Always the charmer Jack." Jack swaggered back to his steer with the rum bottle in hand. "Elizabeth?" She froze in her steps. A smooth voice called out to her. As she turned she came face to face with Will. He wrapped his arms tightly around her body filling her with the warmth that she so craved. A tear flowed down her face. "Will." she whispered.
Will let go of her and looked her in the eyes. "Elizabeth, what happened? Why did you leave? Why were you at sea?" Elizabeth tried to choke back the words that had been plauging her mind. "I was kidnapped Will. By someone who claimed to be Thomas Raven." Jack choked on his rum and Sam looked aburptly at Elizabeth at the sound of this name. "Thomas Raven?" Jack choked. Will looked at Jack oddly and then turned to look at Sam's terrified face. "That's the man who killed my mother and left me on that island at seven years old thinking my family was dead." sam uttered.
