Chapter 5: Realizing the Truth

The Black Pearl was out in the open ocean, heading for the Isla de Muerta. Kaitlin was lying on a small cot in a bright room. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked at the ceiling. She took a deep breath and sat up. The room was made of wood and it seemed to be rocking back and forth. She stood up, walked to a porthole, and stared out. Where am I? What happened? she thought to herself. She turned around and Sparrow's body was pressed against hers. She pushed him away and ran to the door. Kate tugged on the doorknob, but it wouldn't budge. "Kaitlin, no matter how hard you try, the door's locked. You're not going anywhere, savvy?"

"Jack, where am I and what the hell happened?"

"You calmly walked onto the ship and asked to come with me." She walked over to him and forced him to back up against a wall. "You lying bastard, what the hell did you do to me?"

"Well, you sprung a pirate from jail and you should have learned not to do that.even if you trust them. All I did was hit you over the head to avoid a major struggle."

"I saved your damn life and you took me away from my home. Where's my father?" He lifted a finger into the air and said, "My guess would be that he's on a ship looking for you." Kaitlin gave him another stern face and ran to the door. She continued to tug at the doorknob and it finally popped off, letting the door swing open. She held the gold knob in her hand and looked back at the Captain. "Ya know, you need to work on the construction of this damn boat," she said as she threw it at the ground and then stormed up to the deck. There were people all over the ship, raising the sails and steering the vessel. Kate darted to the front of the ship and looked around. There was nothing around, except for the ocean.

A young man about seventeen years old watched Kaitlin climb onto the rail of the boat and sit there, undisturbed. He gazed at her for minutes until Jack came up and put his hand on his shoulder. "Boy, don't even think about it."

"Captain! You scared me. What are you talking about?"

"Listen, that girl up there is a tough one. She's the granddaughter of Bootstrap Bill Turner and she doesn't even know it yet. I saw how you were looking at her, so let me give you some free advice.don't try anything funny with her." He nodded his head and watched as Jack walked back to his cabin and then he looked back at Kaitlin. Her hair was blowing in the wind and her dress was doing the same, making her look like an angel. He strolled up to her casually and tapped her on the shoulder. "Ya know, why don't you just go to-hello?" she said as she saw his face and jumped up. He had dark brown eyes that looked like the darkest sky and his medium- length brown hair made him look a little evil, but innocent. His clothes looked like a blacksmith's outfit, with a pirate's touch. "I'm sorry, I thought you were Jack."

"Well, I am Jack."

"Not the Jack I'm talking about. I'm talking about Jack Sparrow."

"I am Jack Sparrow!" Kaitlin gave the boy a puzzled look and stood up. "How can there be two Jack Sparrows? Are you his son? You look just like him.without the disgusting mess."

"Yeah, but I'm not exactly proud of it. He can be a little rough toward women, but he's an okay guy."

"I don't think he's a great guy. The bastard kidnapped me after I saved his ass from a hanging. I broke him out of prison." Young Jack Sparrow walked closer to Kaitlin and took her hand in his. "You know, you do have your father's charm.Jack."

"That's what most women say," he said as he leaned in and tried to kiss her. Kaitlin turned away and Jack ended up at her cheek. She looked back up at him and walked back to Jack's cabin. Captain Jack was sitting on a table in the room and looked up as Kate entered the room. "So, you met my boy?"

"Yes.and he's quite charming.like you." Jack jumped off the table and walked like a drunken man over to her. "Yeah.he's a lot like me. You should give him a chance." Kaitlin just laughed and sat down on a chair. "Are you crazy? I can't go out with him. He's a pirate."

"What is all this?"

"Excuse me, Captain?"

"Why are you against piracy, when your own father is a pirate.and a very good man?" Kaitlin's mouth dropped open and she whipped out the sword hidden by her dress. "Don't you EVER call my father a pirate! It's a lie." She pointed the sword to Sparrow's chin and glared. Jack lifted his hand to the sword's blade and pushed it to the side, away from his body. "Your father did the exact same thing to me when he found out that his father was William Turner, also known as Bootstrap Bill Turner."

"I'll just refuse to believe it and if I don't believe, it can't be true," Kate said as she put her sword away. Jack walked toward her and forced her against a table, unable to move. "That's it," he said as he picked her up in his arms and threw her over his shoulder.

"Put me down you damn bastard!" He kicked the door open, carried her up the stairs, and up to the bridge. The crew all ran over and saw what their captain was doing. "Put me down you damn pirate!" Kaitlin yelled as Jack threw her over the yard. He spun the helm and the yard swung out over the open ocean. Kaitlin was hanging helplessly and screaming in terror, "GET ME OFF THIS THING!"

"Sir, do you think this wise? She's Will Turner's daughter."

"Mr. Gibbs, I had to do this to her father in order to get him to listen. I'm going to tell her what I told him." He looked back at Kate and saw her hanging on for dear life. "You son of a-"

"Watch your mouth love. You don't want to die yet, do ya? So, while you're just hanging there, pay attention. The only rules that matter are these.what a man can do and what a man can't do. Well, in your case, it would be what a woman can do, and what a woman can't do. For instance, you can either accept the fact that your father was a pirate, and a good man, or you can't. But pirate is in your blood love, so you'll have to square with that someday. Now, me for example, I can let you drown. But, then your father will have me hanged, savvy? So, can you sail under the command of a pirate, or can you not?" He spun the helm again, but Kaitlin lost her grip and hit the ocean water.
