Artemis couldn't sleep the day before they were supposed to get there. She

stealthily snuck out of her quarters and went to the deck. The night sky was almost

surreal looking. The clouds rolling over the silvery full moon were a deep purple color.

Sitting on the edge of the ship, on the railing, Artemis looked up at it. She grasped the

gold choker with the sapphire moon dangling from it. Engraved on the back were the

words "Come Back Someday". It was the only thing she ever had from her mother. Jack

never explained who she was or why they weren't together. The twins never questioned

it; they were content living the exciting life they loved with their father. He acted as if she

died. Artemis always believed that there was something more to it than that, and that

something had to do with Port Royal. In the distance there was another ship coming up. It

was pure white.

'Now that's unusual.' She thought. For some reason it made her uneasy.

"Hello, Love, you couldn't sleep either?"

"No.Dad.do you recognize that ship?" Artemis pointed to the distant ghostly ship.

"Hum? Nah, let's not worry about it, savvy?" Jack passed his her a bottle of rum.

"I don't believe it! The late night Rum Ritual without me!" Apollo said, from the

shadows in mock-outrage. Jack shrugged.

"If you can't stay up with the owls, no rum, me boy."

"Arr." Apollo grunted and took the third bottle of rum.

It was a particularly gorgeous day for being on a ship. The wind was

blowing.Artemis smiled to herself as the Black Pearl rounded a corner and a

strip of land came into view. She wondered if the pirates here (if any were at the

docks) would greet them (her and Apollo) with the same fear as the others did.

Their alter-ego names were Dark Moon (Artemis) and Black Sun (Apollo); most

didn't even know their real names.

It all started when that certain Captain tried to kidnap Artemis and

Apollo for some reason. They were 8 then but could use swords and daggers as

well as a grown man, even Jack. The crew of the Black Pearl knew for a fact

though that Artemis and Apollo both had good hearts, they just never showed it.

So much like Jack. All three of them helped out the crew in anyway possible.

As Artemis was walking the sun-filled deck she descended into the living

quarters. Suddenly she heard a quietly loud argument.

"Jack! They need to know!"

"No, Kirk! Not yet! They aren't ready!" Artemis had never heard her father sound irate before. Normally he was just quirky.

"It's been 17 years!! Besides she may just be in Port Royal!"

"So? I can't help it if she is! She wouldn't even recognize them! Besides if SHE even cared why didn't she come looking for them!? Eh?"

"Maybe they'll recognize her. Vibes ye know?" Kirk Carabound was one of Jack's crewmembers and was like an uncle to the twins.

"I don't care! I doubt she'll be there anyhow! Besides, I made a pact with Will and Elizabeth and Captain Jack Sparrow always keeps his word to his friends!"
