When Sarah came to she found herself lying on an unfamiliar deck. She
struggled to sit up and looked around and guessed it was early morning as
the sun was back up in the sky. Around her a few pirates worked, none of
whom she'd ever seen before. None of them paid her any attention as she
climbed to her feet. "Jack?" She whispered hoarsely. What had happened to
her? The last thing she remembered was falling downwards after an
explosion.
"Ah, yer awake," A gruff voice said from behind and Sarah spun around. "Who are you and where am I?" She demanded and the pirate grinned, bearing yellowed teeth that made her cringe. "Why, yer aboard the Defiant, the best ship in the Caribbean and I'm Captain Meris," He introduced himself. "And you are?" He asked and Sarah froze. "Yer name girl - ye got one?" Meris demanded.
"Sarah," Sarah told him and he nodded slowly. "Yer last name?" He asked and she paused, thinking hard. She remembered her mother's story about giving Will's name as her own and the mess that came from that. "What's the matter girl - bird got yer tongue?" The captain demanded and Sarah started to panic. Bird, bird - that was it! "Sparrow," The word left her mouth and immediately knew that was probably not the best thing to do.
Meris cracked up laughing as she said Jack's last name. "Sparrow," He laughed. "Well, well, well, Jack Sparrow has a daughter - that's rich," He said. "In that case, ye certainly take after yer mother," He grinned. "Well Miss Sparrow, welcome aboard the Defiant," Captain Meris welcomed her before turning his head and yelling at the younger pirate. "Oi boy, get over here!"
The younger pirate came over from where he had been scrubbing the deck. "Take Miss Sparrow here below deck and show her to her quarters," He instructed and turned back to Sarah. "You'll be here a few days I'll imagine," He told her before shoving her in the younger pirate's direction. "Oh, and make yourself at home but I wouldn't get too comfortable I'm sure yer father will be coming to yer rescue very soon."
Sarah stared at him in stony silence as the younger pirate pushed her along. He pushed her below deck and they walked along a passage. "What's going on and why am I here?" Sarah asked the pirate as they walked along. The young pirate was silent. He pitied the girl, having been taken away from her family just to satisfy Meris's greed. They reached the cells and he reluctantly opened the door. Sarah stared at him for a second before slowly walking inside the cell. It wasn't like she had any other choice - the crew outnumbered her, they were stronger and all had weapons. Silently the young pirate locked the door before leaving Sarah all alone.
As she slumped to the floor her thoughts drifted back to Port Royal. She missed her parents terribly and she missed Captain Norrington. She missed her bedroom in the manor where she would sit and imagine her own pirate adventures. Her own had turned out quite differently. She missed Jack too. She knew he would have gone back to Port Royal for help. As she looked about her place of captivity she hoped that they would be coming for her soon.
