This is my first attempt at writing a fanfic so please don't flame too much. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` `````````````````````````````` A young girl sat behind a large tree that overlooked the sea. She was like any other girl you would find. She had long black hair, deep brown eyes, and rather pale skin. She sighed. Her best friend Will had left today. He had been her only friend and now she was all alone. Since his parent's deaths he had to leave England and leaving her only with a promise that they would meet again someday, she felt dejected.

"Its all for the best I guess." She said while holding back tears that stung her eyes.

She was the young age of 14 but she felt something more for him. She would cry herself to sleep that night. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````````` She awoke with a start when she heard the sounds of cannons in the distance.

"That's coming from the village!" she screamed to no one.

She ran as fast as she could towards the sounds but as soon as she got there she couldn't see past all the people who were screaming and running away. She covered her ears from the sounds of metal hitting metal, gunshots and more cannons. Then she heard someone call her name.

"Faith! Run child! Run!" Said a fat woman who she recognized as the bakers wife.

"What's happening? Where is everyone going?" She screamed over the noise but the woman had already run away.

"Get out of the way wench!!" Yelled a rough voice. Then she was thrown against something hard and hit her head.

"Why'd you do that Pintel! The captain said to bring all the children and women with us! We have to bring her to the ship!" Yelled another man. This one was skinny and had shorter hair. She felt herself being lifted up and thrown onto the mans shoulders.

"Let go of me!! Who are you!!? What do you want!!?" Faith screamed while hitting and screaming and even biting the man who carried her.

"Bloody Hell!" Yelled the man as his fingers were bitten and hair pulled.

"I've just about had enough of you wench!" He screamed. Then she was hit over the head with something blunt but heavy and she blacked out. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ```````````````````````````` She groaned and rolled over as something hit her head. A few minutes later she heard soft footsteps coming toward her and her shoulder was shaken.

"You still alive girl?" Said a quiet yet rough voice. Her eyes fluttered open and she saw the most amazing warm brown eyes she had ever seen.

"Who are you? Where am I?"

"You on the pirate ship The Black Pearl heading towards Tortuga. You and all the other kids are going to be sold there."

"What!! They cant do that!! What's going to happen to me!!?" She screamed and then broke into tears. She had heard many horrible stories about pirates and this was the last place she wanted to be.

"It'll be alright lass. I'm here. Me and me friend will here are going to help you. Nothing bad is going to help you. What's your name?"

"Faith. You still haven't told me who you are." She whispered.

"I'm Jack Sparrow. Captain one day." ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` ````````````````````````````
