Amoria

Chapter 4- Surprises

~~~~~~~~~~~

            I awoke to the soft murmur of voices. I roll over on my bed and glance out the window, not knowing how long I've been asleep, the sun is setting. I try to get back to sleep but realize I'm restless. I get up and walked down the hall with the lightest of steps, I pass Will and Elizabeth's room. I hear them talking, so I don't bother them. Before I left the house I placed a note by the door;

Went for a walk, don't worry,

Love,

Amoria

            I wander around the town thinking; letting my mind wonder. I was staring at the ground as I walked and wasn't really paying any attention to where I was going. Then I walked right into someone.

"Oh sorry!" I say instinctively.

"S'all righ' luv." The man I walked into replied and then continued on his way. Odd I think to myself as I continue to walk the opposite direction of the man. How'd I get here? I ask myself as I realize I've wandered to the docks. I just shrug it off and sit on the edge looking out at all the ships. I list them in my head:

The Dauntless, The Freedom, odd names…is that one named Fate? Oh well, Fate, The Annea, The Crembrule, sounds interesting. The Black Pearl, The—wait the Black Pearl? Docked in Port Royale? I know Elizabeth said him and his crew were given clemency, but would he chance it...

My thoughts were reeling as I stood and turned back to the Turner household.

I approach the door to the home and I hear the end of a conversation, or rather an argument. "All this time I had a daughter an' ye never had a spare minute ta tell me?" I heard a man holler.

That voice I think the man from the docks! I took a deep breath and opened the door; as soon as I stepped in I felt all eyes on me.

"Who's this?" the man asks not even bothering to ask me.

"`This` happens to have a name! My name is Amoria, if you had enough courtesy to ask me instead of them!" I fire at him. I finally get a good look at him only to realize...he…looks….just….like…me….. "And you are?" I ask already having a good idea what the answer is going to be.

"Captain Jack Sparrow." He states with a slight bow, obviously oblivious to who I am, so I decide to use that in my favor.

"Well, if you want to be al formal about it" I say my voice dripping with sarcasm "I'm Amoria; Amoria Sparrow." I finish with a grin and a curtsy. He just gawks at me then finally turns to Elizabeth and she nods shyly in agreement with my statement.

"So I'm guessing you're my segregate father??" I questioned, he looked at me as if he didn't register what I had said. It was then I noticed something in his eye, a look of denial, a look I have encountered one too many times in my life.

"You lie!" he hollered, he then filled his voice with sarcasm "I don't have a child, an' if ye were a Sparrow, ye'd—" I interrupted him;

"You want proof ol' man? I could beat you in a sword fight any day!"

"Are ye challenging me missy?"

"Why do you have a problem with that ol' man?" he just looked at me and I nodded "Ok then—"

"What??" Elizabeth interjected; she was going to say more but Will stopped her. I don't know what he whispered to her, but it shut her up. I turned and headed up to my room, I lifted my mattress to uncover the hidden cutlass I had acquired a few years back. As I held it in my hands I realized I had never actually used it against another human being before and I know there is a very slim chance I'll win, but this is something I have to do, a gut instinct if you will. I turn and head back downstairs; he is already waiting for me…..
