A/N: This chapter is dedicated to Nuanniel the author of The Same Blood
Flows in my Veins, because that story was the inspiration for this one. It

first place. (btw her story is really good: The many faces of Jack Sparrow)
R&R please!!!
Chapter 2
Emmie woke up to find herself on a beach, looking up at a blurry face.
"Uncle Phil?" she asked.
"No luv, not Phil, Jack."
With a sickening lurch, Emmie remembered that her uncle was dead, and dissolved in a flood of tears.
" He's dead! DEAD!" she cried, "It's all mother's fault! She drove him away! He didn't even want to go on that stupid ship and now he's dead!"
Suddenly someone walked up to Jack and stood behind him. Looking up Emmie saw that it was her Uncle Will.
"Emmelia! What are you doing here? You're not even dressed! Have you been falling off ledges like your Aunt Liz?" He said half kidding
"Well mate, as a matter of fact she has, and I have, once again, been forced to act the hero. God Will, when will your family stop trying to ruin my reputation?" said Jack
"Very funny Jack, you know you'd save anyone who gave you half a chance. Come on Emmie, put this on and I'll take you home." Will said, handing her his cloak
* * * * *
Emmie woke up the next morning with a head filled with thoughts of that guy who saved her. "What was his name?" she thought " Oh ya.. Jack." Her memory was vague but she remembered him being really nice looking.
Now, more then ever, Emmie hated being home with her mother. And she didn't want to go to Aunt Jen's house and see the coffin in the parlor, waiting to be buried. Emmie decided to go to Will & Liz's. "Maybe they could tell me about that Jack guy." She thought.
* * * * *
Elizabeth was glad to see her niece, but Will and Jack were at the blacksmith shop, which was highly disappointing to Emmie.
"I met Jack yesterday," Emmie said tactfully, "How come you've never introduced us before?
"Oh! Didn't Will tell you? Jack hasn't been here in about three years, he's Captain of a pirate ship and doesn't come around here to often. On top of that, your mother was very insistent that you never meet any pirates at all."
Elizabeth kept on talking vivaciously. She told a very interesting story about how she met Jack and Emmie started to from a plan.
Ever since she was ten years old, Emmie told herself that one day, when she was older, she would get on a ship and find her father. Her Uncle Phil was strongly opposed to this, declaring that the sea was no place for a lady. "Well, Uncle Phil is gone, and more then ever, I need to find my dad." She thought.
"Liz, we're home!" Will called from the entry.
"Hello boys. Come into the parlor, Emmie is her and I don't believe she and Jack have been properly introduced."
Once they entered she continued
"Jack this is my niece, Emmelia Swann, Emmie, this is Jack Sparrow."
"Captain Jack Sparrow" he corrected.
"Captain Sparrow! Have you a ship?" asked Emmie forwardly
"Lass, you're askin' Cap'tn Jack Sparrow if he 'as a ship? Wut kind of Captain would I be if I didn't 'ave a ship? Aye Lass, I got meself the finest ship in the Carribean, The Black Pearl." He answered "I'm sorry Mr. Sparrow, I didn't mean to be imprudent. I-I'm just so interested in vessels. I'd love to have a private talk with you later uh, about, um, different types of.. boats.
"A'right luv, wut ever ye say." He said mockingly giving her an all-to- obvious wink
The day wore on and Emmie decided it was time for her to go home. But she still hadn't told Jack her plan. Luckily, Jack solved her problem for her.
"Well, I best be off," he said, "Me crew's meeting up in the saloon and being captain I best be there."
"Yes I must be going as well." Said Emmie, thinking quickly. " Jack, could you walk me home? It would save Uncle Will the trouble."
"Aye, of course, Lass, can resist being seen in public with the dashing Captain Sparrow can ye? And besides, we haven't had a chance to talk about, vessels have we?"
* * * * *
Once outside, Emmie wasted no time is telling Jack her plan.
"Captain Sparrow, I must admit, I know practically nothing about ships, but I'm looking for a passage." Said Emmie
"Well, that might be possible, luv, where to? Bear, in mind that you would have to do your share of work. I can't be taxiing people all over the Caribbean without anything to show for it"
"Well, you see, I don't know exactly where I'm going. I want to find my father and I'm not sure where he is.. in fact, I don't even know his name."
"I see, and how, pray tell, are you planning on finding him?"
"Well, I.. um.you see. I was thinking, of just, asking around if anyone new him. He is a pirate so someone must have heard of him."
"Lass, the answer is plain and simple: No. I can't be trekking around the coastline asking after someone who, for all we know, is dead. ...
Here we are, home, safe and sound, though, I presume, a trifle disappointed. G'night" He said, and left without waiting for her to answer.
