Last Time:

"Take heed my wishes. You have yet to know of the horrible years I spent suffering as a young woman such as yourself. Now it is time for you to walk in my shoes..."

Gemma simply stared. She had no clue as to what the crazy woman was talking about. The old woman slipped the mirror into Gemma's bag while she was pondering about the whole situation and then she disappeared into the crowds.

"Now where did she-"

"Ready to leave Gemma?"

It was her father. Always coming in at the oddest of moments.

"Yes I am. Lead the way."

Gemma linked her arm with her father's and the two of them walked over to where the carriage awaited them. She climbed inside, ready for the hour- long journey she was about to embark on to return to their countryside home.

Chapter 2:

"Captain! Port Charles is only a half a day away. We will be reaching her before the sun sets."

"Thank you Gibbs. Now let me be."

Jack stood at the helm of his pride and joy, not to mention his only love, the Black Pearl. They were headed to Port Charles. The crew was in need of a decent raid and Jack had heard some pretty wealthy people had settled there.

'Perhaps we will take on some prisoners, just for fun, and then let them off at the next port...' he chuckled at the idea.

Jack continued steering his ship towards the little speck of land off in the distance and started humming a little pirate tune to himself.

'Soon, we will be there very soon...'

~Back in Port Charles~

Gemma lay in her bed contemplating about what the woman from the marketplace had said to her earlier in the day. Not being able to think about it anymore, she got up and walked over to her balcony where she sat upon the railing looking at the picture perfect Caribbean sunset before her. Off in the near distance she was able to see the faint outline of a ship.

'Maybe some excitement will come from this one...' Gemma thought miserably to herself.

Port Charles was such an orderly town that nothing extravagant ever happens, especially compared to what happened in Port Royal a couple of years ago. She had heard the stories about the Governor's daughter Elizabeth Swann and how the infamous Jack Sparrow had helped rescue her. Gemma couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy at the thought of how happy Elizabeth and her new husband Will are because the help of a pirate.

'It's very interesting that a pirate would be willing to help rescue someone of such importance that once he got back, he would be sent straight to the gallows.'

Actually becoming very tired from thinking about the old woman and pirates so much, Gemma decided it would be best to get to bed very soon, for she had promised herself that she would ride the horses early in the morning to see the sunrise. Gemma happily sipped at the water she had just poured herself. She then swung her legs over the bed and rested her head on the pillow, drifting into a world of the unknown.

~Back on the Pearl~

"Bring 'er right up to the docks Gibbs" Jack ordered.

Gibbs directed the ship right up to the docks like Jack had asked him. The crew piled out of the ship and waited for more specific orders from their captain.

"Gentlemen, on this raid there is to be no killing, just merely frightening, and come back at midnight with whatever ye can. And remember, take what ya can..."

"Give nothin' back!" the crew all shouted in unison.

"Good, now get to work!"

The Black Pearl's crew scampered off into the town of Port Charles. Up on a hill, a little ways past the town was a house, a rather large house that glimmered in the sunset. Something called Jack to go towards it, for before he knew it, he was already headed off in that direction.

~ The Doyle's Mansion~

"Bloody pirates!" Jonathon Doyle screamed as he watched a bunch of filthy scallywags made there way into his hometown.

He went off to find all the weapons he needed before going and defending other's lives. Deciding it was the best thing to do, he went upstairs and locked his daughter's door. Careful not to wake her, he ran downstairs and ran into the now night sky, preparing for battle.

Hope all of you liked it, but I enjoyed writing the first chapter much more than this one.

But, not to worry, the third chapter will be much more exciting. At least Jack is now in the story though, so think of that! Please review!
