Disclaimer: I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean
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 is also dedicated to Sparrow's Girl who told me about this website in the first place. (by the way her story is really good: The many faces of Jack Sparrow)
It was pointed out to me, very truthfully, that my story is quite confusing. The first chapter was supposed to be like that, as it is a prologue/introduction. On the other hand, the second chapter was terribly confusing and I apologize. I'm not really sure where this story is going and too many things are coming out at one time. Hopefully from now on things will be much clearer and enjoyable to read.
Constructive criticism is always appreciated but I ask to bear in mind that this is my first fanfic. Hope you like this chapter!!
Chapter 3
Midnight. Emmie couldn't sleep. She crept over to her desk and lifted up the loose floorboard underneath. She took out her father's medallion and examined it. On the front was an embossed insignia. The medallion was not in good condition; it was blackened with age and had scratch marks on the back. To her great surprise, Emmie discovered, amid the scratch marks, two names inscribed in the gold: Tim Burton & Jack Sparrow.
"Jack Sparrow? Emmie thought, what could this possibly mean? And the other name.Tim Burton.that must be my father, it has to be! After all this is his medallion isn't it? Could it be possible that Mr. Sparrow knows my father? Tomorrow. tomorrow I'll go and ask him."
* * * * *
"Is Mr. Sparrow here? I need to speak with him." Emmie said to Elizabeth the next afternoon
"No he's not, he is down at the tavern." she said
"All right, thank you, I'll go and find him."
Emmie found Jack sitting at a table in the corner of the room and sat down opposite him. As soon as she was seated Emmie threw the medallion on the table.
"Listen to me Mr. Sparrow, I want the truth from you. I have a right to know. You see this medallion, it was my father's and your name is on the back along with what I'm assuming is his name. If you know, or knew my father I beg you to tell me --" Before Emmie could say anymore Jack cut her off.
"My God! Tim Burton is your father! Why didn't you say so before? All right Lass, I'll tell you what I know about him. Your father was, still is, the captain of the Delectation, a mighty fine ship. I was his first mate for nigh on ten years. He was not your average pirate. Instead of trading his plunder as soon as he got it he preferred to hoard it all. He has a cache on a tiny spit of land. We were a mighty fine team, inseparable, until we came to port royal. We arrived here a bit over 15 years ago. That was when he met your mother. When the ship set sail, I stayed behind. I wanted me own ship, and I had found the Black Pearl. The Delectation stayed in Prot Royal for only a few weeks and I doubt it very much if your father even knows you exist. Your father, Tim Burton, always wore this medallion around his neck, with his name on the back. When you were about three years old, he sent it to me with my name on the back. He told me he would be back one day for it but I haven't seen him since I left the crew."
Emmie took a long time to process this information. Finally she said: " Captain Sparrow, do you know where to find him?"
"I'm not sure, your dad hated change and I'm sure he still has is cache, I know were it is, perhaps we could go and find out."
"You mean, you would help me find him?"
"I can't give any guarantees, luv, but I'll try me best. I must warn you, this is a wild goose chase, never the less I'm willing to try. What about you? Can you sail under the command of a pirate?"
"Your best mate was my father, what do you think?"
"I think we set sail tomorrow at noon."
