As Sarah sat alone in her cell thinking of home she heard a noise as
someone approached. She clambered to her feet and walking over to the door,
tried to see who it was. It was the pirate who had brought her down there
and she hoped that this had just been a big misunderstanding and he was
coming to let her go back to the Black Pearl. No such luck however.
"The captain requests that you accompany him at dinner," The pirate told her as he unlocked her door. Sarah was about to refuse when she remembered her mother's story and knew there was no way to get out of it. The pirate opened the door and she silently stepped out. "Follow me," The young pirate said as he began to head along the corridor. "Can you please tell me what is going on?" Sarah asked as they walked but once again the pirate didn't answer.
He stopped suddenly and opened a door and smells of cooked food drifted out and danced around Sarah's nose. Her stomach rumbled again as she remembered that she hadn't eaten anything all day. Suddenly she didn't care what food she might be served - she just wanted to eat something. The pirate nudged her forward and she stepped into the room where Meris was already seated and waiting.
"Ah, Miss Sparrow, so kind of you to join me," Captain Meris said as he indicated for her to sit in the opposite chair. "You must be hungry," He said as he piled some food onto her plate. To her relief the food was very similar to that on the Black Pearl. As she lifted her fork to her mouth she paused, watching the captain, waiting for him to take the first bite. Like her mother, she was weary of the food in case it had been poisoned. Meris shovelled some food into his mouth and sipped his wine. Everything seemed fine so she began to eat.
"So, if ye really are the daughter of Jack, how come yer dressed like a high class woman?" Meris asked, intrigued. "Unless of course ye gave me the wrong name," He eyed her over the table and Sarah looked down at her plate. "I am not Jack's daughter," She admitted as she toyed with a morsel of food and Meris raised his eyebrows. "Oh really? Then what would ye be doing on the Black Pearl?" He asked her after taking another sip of wine.
"My real name is Sarah Turner, I am the daughter of Will Turner and the granddaughter of Bootstrap Bill," Meris recognised the name. "Jack is a dear friend to both my parents," She told him. "I knew it," Meris said with a bit of a smile. "Jack would never have kids - he's not the sort," The captain said. "Tell me, why were you on the Black Pearl if yer the Governor's daughter and all?"
"I stowed away," She said, playing with another bit of food, her appetite had suddenly diminished. "Why would ye do that?" Meris asked as he poured more wine into his goblet. "I wanted to sail with Jack for a while but both he and my father said no," She paused for a moment. "I just wanted to experience life as a pirate considering my father and grandfather were," Sarah told Meris and the captain just grinned.
