Jack looked at her in mild confusion as he tried to place just
who she looked like. The girl had a long tangle of jet black hair, a tall
thin build. She could have been considered skinny. She had a rather pale
face which was a bit pointier than Jack's. She wore a long, over-sized
black coat and over-sized men's trousers and shirt, a wide-brimmed, black
hat, and a sword strapped to her belt. But even more extraordinary than all
that, was her eyes. They were cold ice blue, quite shocking. (Her eyes were
a bit of a mystery. She got them from neither her mother or father.)
"You got a problem?' she asked, looking back into Jack's eyes.
"Oh, no, no,"Jack answered, snapping out of his trance-like state," it's
just that you....nevermind. Can I buy you a drink? Water or ..uh..juice or
something?"
"Rum's fine with me," she answered, smiling at his shocked look.
"Uh..okay then, rum it is."
They stepped into the bar, greeted by noisy shouts, got their drinks, and stepped over to a table. As they sat down, Jack couldn't stop looking at her, trying to figure out where he had seen her before. She stared back at him, mildly concerned. "So, that was some really amazing fighting out there," Will said to the girl as she took a swig from her mug. "Thanks," she answered after she swallowed. Will shot a slightly concerned look at the still-staring Jack. "What's your name, anyway?' Will asked, looking away from Jack. "Tatiana Sparrow." At this, Jack spit his rum from his mouth and across the table at Will. Will made a grimace of disgust as he wiped the saliva and half-swallowed rum from his face. "Is that a problem for you?" Tatiana asked Jack as he wiped his mouth. "And what's your name, anyway?" " I'm Will and-" "That's not important," Jack cut in," where are your parents?" "So, suddenly you've gone all noble on me?" Tatiana asked with a rather bitter face shot at Jack. "No, I mean, what were their names and where is your mother?" Tatiana seemed taken aback at all these questions, but she answered casually. "I never met my parents, actually. My mother died right after I was born, so I was sent to some woman named Mrs. Ogmand. As for my father, he ran off before I was born, the filthy bastard." "I wouldn't say all that..." Jack said quietly, twirling his beard around his fingers, " maybe he just didn't know..." "Whatever," Tatiana said, taking another swig. "I thought I was in a bar, not a church." "How old are you?" Jack asked urgently. She was surprised by the urgent tone in his voice, but answered "I don't see why it matters to you, but I'm twelve, thirteen in a few months. I don't see why you have all these-wait." "What?" Will and Jack asked in unison. "Are you working for those men from Singapore?" she said with a suspisious glare. "No, we just-" " I told them it wasn't my fault. Now, if you were here on that case from-" "It's alright," Will cut in. "We don't want to hurt you-" "Then what's his name?" Tatiana asked, adverting her eyes to Jack's. "My name is Jack. Sparrow, that is." Suddenly he knew just who it was she looked like. It was him.
