Amoria- "Keep dreamin'!"
~~~~~~~~~~~
We sat in silence for several minutes; no, not an eerie silence but an emotional silence. He held me tight once more and said:
"Amoria, I 'ave ta go an' make sure things are in order up on deck; an' make sure none o' them damn brits followed us, so ye can either stay here or come up on deck with me; i's up ta ye." I nodded as he got up and headed towards the door.
"Jack." I called; still not conferrable with any other terms. "You can call me Ami"
"Aye, an' ye call me dad," he smiled "an' tha's an order!" he joked.
"Aye!" I mocked as he turned to leave the room. After a minute or so of sitting in the silence and letting me self absorb; understand; and realize the truth of who I was, where I came from, and where I'm going; I got up and headed out on deck.
~~~~~~~~~~~
On deck I heard people scurrying around doing things, but as soon as I stepped foot on deck everyone stopped for a moment to stare at me. Then I saw Jack standing out into the horizon, I approached him. He noticed me, and smiled.
"'ow nice of ye ta grace me with yer presence!" He joked his with wild gesticulations. I opened my mouth to reply but stopped when I noticed something behind him, off in the distance.
"Dad?" I said urgently; his face lit up at the sound of me referring to him as `dad`; he obviously did not catch the urgency in my statement.
"Aye?" he said. My eyes widened as I realized what I was looking at was another ship.
"DAD LOOK!" I pointed behind him and he turned to see what my problem was. I heard him say:
"Damn Brits!" he spun back around "Luv, That ship is part of the British navy; an' it appears ta be captained by none other than Norrington's son." I looked at him unsure of what to do; he must have seen the uncertainty in my eyes:
"No worries, luv, I want ye ta go inta my cabin an' stay there till I come get ye."
"b-but…" Part of me did not want to be left out of the battle, yet my other side was reasoning by saying; you know who their coming after!
"No buts, luv, I just found ye an' I ain' gonna lose ye." His eyes were pleading with me to go and his voice was sincere. I nodded and began heading towards his cabin but stopped half way and turned around to face him; somehow, he understood.
"Ami, I'll be fine, I'm jus' worried 'bout ye." He stated confidently "Now, go!" I nodded still not quite ready to go but went into his cabin anyway and stood, silently watching at the window.
"Make ready the guns!" I heard him holler as the crew made ready for battle.
~~
The ships were within firing range of each other, yet neither was firing. Then I heard:
"Hand her over Sparrow and we'll let you and your crew go!"
"Captain, Captain Sparrow! ...What ye really believe I'd give up me own flesh an' blood without a fight?"
"What are you talking about Sparrow? She's the Turners child!"
"Micha, do ye really believe that they'd give up their child?"
"Sparrow, you know that is not my name, my name is Captain Michael Norrington, Now hand her over!"
"NEVER!" and with that, I saw Jack give some sort of signal or what I thought to be a signal and the battle began.

As I watched the battle progress, I saw casualties on both sides; only it appeared that Jack's men were winning. I watched my father battling a young man only a few years younger than me. That is when I noticed a man; a man coming up behind him. I spun around franticly and saw Jack's pistol lying on his desk; he forgot it! I grabbed it without thinking and ran out the door. I aimed at the man whom my father hadn't noticed; praying I had good aim; and fired a single shot. He fell dead and hit the ground; somehow, I had managed to get the shot directly into his skull. Just as the man hit the ground, another shot rang out…
