A/N: Wow. This is REALLY confusing. I don't know if I should do Caden or Alex!! Some people said Caden, others Alex. I just don't know! Oh well, you get what you get for now, but it'll probably change in the long run.

Gee Whiz: Why do they have handicapped parking spaces for a skateboard rink?

DISCLAIMER: C'mon people, you know the drill. If you don't, then I look back at chapter 5. Orli, oh Orli, you are so hot.......

CHAPTER 7: THE BATTLE BETWEEN TEENAGE BOYS (tee hee)

Alex walked quickly, hoping to get to his destination in time.

"Curse him! He should've known better," Alex muttered under his breath. "I'll kill him. I really will."

He walked on for quite some time, admiring things while he fumed and his brain swam in a mess of thoughts. After a little while, he reached a ship, which was docked at a private dock. One that no one could ever find.

Alex jumped on the ship drew out his sword, and said,

"This is low. Even for you."

"So, I have to give some of my blood away to be normal?" Claire asked, slightly confused, just hearing about the medallion and curse that went with it. "But, why did you need me?"

"Because love, you are the granddaughter of Bootstrap Bill, and female blood from the Turner bloodline is needed. Only female blood. It can't be male. That is why the curse wasn't really destroyed when your father tried. Savvy?" Caden asked.

"Savvy," Claire said, blushing slightly. He was REALLY cute after all. "So, did you really have to kidnap me? Couldn't you have just negotiated with my family or something?"

Caden sighed, rolling his green eyes. "No," he said his face showing amusement. "It just wouldn't have worked."

"Fine. Am I confined to this room forever? Or do I actually get some freedom?" She asked.

Caden stood up, and Claire followed suit.

"There," he said, "does this give you an answer?" He grabbed her hand, and started to walk towards the door, but Claire stopped him.

"I feel like I know you from somewhere," she started. "But I'm not quite sure where. I swear I have-"

Claire was interrupted by Caden saying,

"Good grief, do you ever stay quiet?"

"What? What kind of question is that? Well, for the record, no."

"Then I'll make you."

"Oh really? And how do you plan to do that?" Claire asked, feeling a bit angry.

Caden bent down, and very gently put his lips on hers. It wasn't very long, but still very romantic. When Caden lifted his head, he smiled, and said,

"That's how."

It just dawned on Claire that she received the most romantic kiss of her life. Not to mention her first.

He took her hand again, and once more began to lead her to the door.

But it opened first.

~~* FLASHBACK *~~

A young woman of about twenty years old stared cautiously at her nephew, surprised that he would have the same resemblance to her, including her piercing blue eyes. She stared at the baby, and started asking questions. But the father started asking them first.

"So, did you finish that self-portrait yet?" He asked.

"Yes Jack, it should be hanging up at your brother's home soon. He bought it for 600 pounds."

"Captain Jack, if you please." A woman walked into the room and put her arm around Jack. "Hello Anamaria."

"So, what is his name?" The blonde woman asked, referring to the baby.

"Alexander Michael Sparrow." Anamaria replied smugly.

Jack ran into Will's home, not bothering to knock.

Jack and Will both spoke at the same time, and both only managed two words:

"He's gone."

"She's gone."

A/N: Man, I am SOOO sorry for not updating! Blame it on me EVIL SCHOOL! They gave me too much homework. Flames will be used to burn my school down.
