Letters
A/N: The third in the 'Time' series. 14-16 year old Willafred Turner and 16-18 Dagger Sparrow exchange a series of letters. Each chapter will be one letter.
Dearest young Captain Sparrow,
I fear your live has grown much more exciting then mine. I must tell you that I was saddened and overjoyed at the thought of you with your own ship and crew. A co-captain at sixteen! Or are you the captain now? I knew you had it in you. Though, I shall miss you on our island.
You seem to have many exciting stories to tell me when next we meet. Sadly, all I could tell you is the happenings at Port Royal. Shall I try and see if the happenings are exciting news? Sarah Morgan is being courted by Thomas Hill and it seems to be a good match. Many say that shall marry in the next four or five years. Hm, that was not very exciting, was it?
I, I do have something of interest. As you are aware, I am now fourteen years of age. Many of my childhood friends are now looking toward romance. I, there is a story I wish to tell you.
Once there was a flower. The flower had two gardeners. One, she saw once every two years and she would spend three wonderful days with him. He was kind and always told her wonderful things about herself. The other was someone she saw everyday and this gardener had always been kind, but one day he was more then kind and he told her he liked her as more then a friend. So, the flower became confused and became unsure of who she wanted to be picked by.
Do you understand that story, young Captain Sparrow?
Your father tells me he shall see you a month after I write this. I pray this letter finds you and your crew well. I have asked you mother to tell you, but if she forgets, the answer is yes, I shall and do remember my promise to you.
Lo-
With Utter Respect,
Willafred Turner
