Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with pirates of the Caribbean.
A/N ok this is t he sequel to 'The Man I Am Today.' The first couple of chapters are going to be a bit slow. Believe me it was hard to get it to go how I wanted it to, as my muse didn't want to play... it does get better I promise. Thanks for the reviews on the 1st story. If you haven't read it then I suggest you do (please review it as well!!) otherwise this wont make any sense. Ok enough of my babblings... enjoy!

Ana's eyes looked at the town ahead of them, from the crow's nest of the Black Pearl. Not hearing Jack come up behind her, she whispered something to herself.
"I shouldn't be here..." Jumping a little as a hand was placed on her shoulder; she turned to see Jack standing behind her with his eyebrows raised.
"And why shouldn't ye be here?" Ana averted her gaze back to the town that lay in front.
"Too many bad memorise, that's why." Jack chuckled softly and his hand found Ana's. He gently tugged her arm to show that he wanted her to come down and she obliged.

Both the pirates stepped off the ship. All the crew had been told to stay on the ship, until they had been told otherwise. Both of them stood staring at what lay in front of them, Jack the first to break the silence.
"Which way then." Ana was trying hard to hide the fear in her eyes at the prospect of going back to the place that held so many terrible times for her as a child, just like Jack had done a few months earlier. Ana turned and looked as if she was to head back to the ship but Jack stopped her. "Ana, ye need t' do this. Ye made me, and it helped. Your turn." Although Jacks voice was soft and gentle when he spoke to her, it was stern and stubborn, telling her if she didn't go now then she probably never would go. And they weren't leaving till she'd been to the house anyway.
"Fine, it's this way." Jack smirked as he followed the feisty female through the bustling crowds of town, not earning so much as a second glance. From most people...

A man was watching Jack and Ana head up to the massive house that was abandoned on the hill. Frowning he turned to head back home to tell his wife what he had seen.
"Claire?" he heard a struggle and lots of giggling coming from upstairs and knew that he 3 year old daughter was struggling to get out of her mothers grasp as she tickled her.
"I'm...up here." As the man, walked through the door to the master bedroom, he grabbed his daughter round the middle and sat her on his lap as he sat down on the bed. "What's up?" The man smiled and shook his head.
"Nothing's up, its just that I saw two people head up to the manor and thought you'd like to know. If you wanted to find out. That's all." The women processed the information that had been told to her and nodded.
"Yeah, I'll go take a look. Were they men or women?"
"One of both. Are you going to take her?" The man nodded down at the infant sat on his knee.
"Yeah, Steve your working and you can't take her to work with you. She'd probably fall in the water." The little girl giggled as the few things she remembered came back to her. Steve got up, kissed his wife and daughter.
"Well, don't go getting into trouble. And if they threaten either of you go straight away. That place isn't worth it." The young women pointed to the door, the look upon her face telling him to go. The man's face held a pout as he walked out of the door and both females couldn't help but smile.

Ana opened the door to her old home, slowly, noticing that it look as if no one had lived there for years. She found Jack's hand and smiled as she remembered that was exactly what he had done when he visited his old place. Not going any further then the hallway, she turned to Jack, whose face was in a frown and he was looking around.
"What's wrong?" Jack snapped back to reality.
"Nothing. I jest... get a weird feeling that something a'int right around here that's all." Ana was about to reply when they heard footsteps come up the path. Both of them hiding away under the stairs, watched as a lady and young child stepped through the door.
Looking around before the lady opened her mouth she shouted out her words.
"Hello? Is anyone in here?" Pausing to listen she bent down and picked the little girl up.
"Looks like daddy was wrong sweetie. There isn't anyone..." Pausing as she heard creaking coming from under the stairs she called out again. Ana was cursing Jack silently for having to scratch his head. "Hello...who...who are you?" The lady found Jack and Ana huddled under the stairs and gave them a puzzled look.
"Err..." Ana couldn't find the words to explain why she was here. She wanted to know who this woman was in her old home though. "Who are you?"
"Claire RoDown. Who are you and what are you doing here?" Ana Maria just stared at the women wondering how she didn't recognise her own sister.
"Well...I..." Ana couldn't find the words so Jack said something for her.
"It's my fault. Told 'er she needed t' come put some ghost's t' rest. I'm guessin' ye two will 'av a lot of catching up. Mind if I explore?" The two women were staring at each other for a few moments before a show of affection burst out in front of Jack's eyes.
"Ana Maria? Oh my go, my baby sister's finally came home. What, when? Where have you been? Oh my god.... I can't believe it..." Claries ramblings were cut short by Jack coughing trying to get their attention.
"Yes Jack, go explore all ye like." Jack clasped his hands together to say thank you and went exploring. The house was very large, all the rooms on the ground floor had sheets over the furniture, but when he got upstairs, it was like there were still people living there. Some of the beds were still un made, the only room that wasn't a mess, looked like it was the one that hadn't been lived in for the longest time... Ana's old bedroom.
Jack didn't stay in the room very long; he felt that if he were to snoop, then he'd do it with Ana's permission. There was one place he hadn't look... the attic.
He walked up the staircase, opening the door that was on the tiny landing, his head snapped back at the smell of the place. Peering inside Jack took a step back, nearly falling down the stairs. He couldn't believe what his eyes had just seen...
