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.
Willafred,
Merry Christmas! I know this letter shall find you in the spring of the new year, but I just wanted to tell you that, as I never had before.
I am now nearly seventeen and Higgins bought me a very beautiful gift, her name was Gwen. I owe Gwen everything because it was she that finally let me know how I truly feel about you. You may believe that my feelings for you are a habit or some kind of puppy love, but Gwen allowed me to see the truth. I have built you up to be some sort of saint and you may no longer be that. I suppose we shall see.
How is your everyday gardener? He is well I hope. You have made me very jealous and bitter with that story. I fear for my fun and humorist ways.
Dusk, one of my crew, has even taken to placing bets on when I shall snap. Dusk says I'll turn course, sail to Port Royal, and force them all to stand under your window. They believe I'll sing to you. But what would I sing? Put 'em in a long boat? A pirate's life for me? These are the questions of the hour.
Consent words of love are cheap. I have learned it from drinking too much, fighting too much, pirating too much, and from paying for too many whores.
Captain Dagger Sparrow
