Sapphire stared at him. Not knowing what to say.
"You can't be my father he died along with my mother, and brother." She whispered fiercely.
"We never died, Sapphire." He whispered back. He starred at her in the candlelight.
"You can't... you had have to... no..." She was lost for words, and then a thought came in her head, "Prove you're my father."
"I know about the tattoo on your back." He smiled, her eyes widened, "it's a map." Sapphire bit her lip. A thousand questions came to mind. She starred at him, this time her throat stopped talking and her lips couldn't move. What could she say? "Perhaps its better if we talk about this in the morning." Sapphire nodded, and he started to walk away.
"Wait!" Sapphire couldn't believe she spoke, and he stopped, "Where are you staying?"
"I have my own ways." He smiled, again. "Happy birthday Sapphire."
"You could stay here." Sapphire stepped forward. Tonight she did not want to be alone. Her maids were gone, the whole staff gone. "It would be horrible of me not to.... I mean..."
"I thank you." He nodded and kept smiling, and began to walk to the dinning room. Sapphire fallowed him close behind.
"Excuse me, sir, where are you going..." Sapphire gasped at the sight. Lights were in this room. The maids and the butler were crowded into a corner, and a group stood about them swords drawn. Sapphire stood in horror, and the man stepped forward to the three others. "No, don't!"
"Sapphire don't worry, they'll be fine." The man turned to her and smiled and turned back to the group of people, she thought about them was one woman.
"Alright, you dogs put your weapons away," A man, said in a slurred voice, she could make out a hat and assumed him in charge. He turned to her and the man that stood in front of her. "Ah dear William, I'm sure you have everything settled with your daughter."
"Not quite, Jack." The man called William whispered back to the man.
"That's Captain Jack." Jack smiled. Sapphire starred in horror.
"You're not Captain Jack Sparrow are you?" Sapphire gasped, her heart rising in her throat.
"Someone finally gets it." He clapped his hands together, and stuck out his hand. Sapphire stepped back. "What's the matter, love a hand never hurt anyone."
"By your reputation, Captain Sparrow, I say it did." Sapphire tried her best to keep her voice dangerous, but it wasn't working. Again she stepped back.
"Sapphire, don't worry he's a friend." William reassured her reaching out a hand to her, and she stepped out of his reach. Her eyes widened she was surrounded by pirates. Slowly she started to back away not positive she should trust her so-called father.
"You're Will, first mate to him." She pointed to Jack, and started to make a run for it and ran into someone.
"Hey watch it girly!" A boy perhaps only four or five years old than her said
"I'm sorry sir." Sapphire whispered.
"Timothy!" William gave a warning to the boy, and he shrugged it off walking away from Sapphire. "If you must know that's your brother." Sapphire watched the boy leave the room with some of the other pirates. She turned back to William and Jack.
"Please don't hurt me." Sapphire whispered. "I'll give you anything you want just please don't hurt me."
"We're not here to hurt you, Sapphire." Will reassured her again. "We came to talk."
"How 'bout we do that in the mornin' mate I'm a bit tried." Jack turned to Sapphire, "Besides I'm sure your pretty girl can give us a nice place to stay. Oh and happy birthday, love."
Sapphire stayed in her bed all night. She couldn't sleep, all she could think about was what if James came to call on her? What if the navy had seen their ship and decided to search? Sapphire laid in her bed wondering, the maids kept quiet and ordered by the pirates to stay in the house and not get up from the house until told to do so. She was not in control of her own house, and that man Will. A pirate was her father? No, her father was indeed a William, but William Turner and he had died along with her mother and brother on a ship coming from one of the neighboring islands, from a trip to visit one of her mother's cousin's. Yet he looked so much like that man from her dream, the only memory she had of her father and mother. Then that Jack Sparrow, he was one of the blackest hearted pirates you could ever come across, at least that's what everyone in the Caribbean said. He was the one that killed her parents and brother, on that ship. The ship had been taken over by Sparrow's crew and he had killed every member of that ship. Sapphire felt a chill go up her spin. Her grandfather had told her this. He had also told her stories of the infamous Sparrow going after his own ship with a blacksmith to save a governor's daughter, which she had found incredibly romantic, but all the same a pirate's story. A knock came at her door.
"Miss," It was Nancy and Sapphire let out the air that she didn't even know she was holding in, "do you need any help getting ready?"
"Yes, Nancy!" Sapphire yelled to her, feeling all the relief she needed. Nancy walked in, and Sapphire went to her and hugged her, and let go. "Nancy that Will man says that..."
"He's your father." Nancy nodded, and started to bring out her dress and undergarments that went with it.
"Yes!" Sapphire nodded fiercely, "What am I going to do? My father's dead, he's a pirate he couldn't be my father."
"Miss," Nancy said softly, and turned to her, "The man's name is William Turner, his your father. Now let me help you dress so you can have your conversation with him."
"You can't be my father he died along with my mother, and brother." She whispered fiercely.
"We never died, Sapphire." He whispered back. He starred at her in the candlelight.
"You can't... you had have to... no..." She was lost for words, and then a thought came in her head, "Prove you're my father."
