That evening, she walks home alone, because it is much more dramatic than having Will walk her home. She passes a man on her left, who gives her a strange look. All she can tell on the darkness is that he has a tri-cornered hat, and a long coat. Still walking, she hears him follow behind her. Her right hand comes to rest on the hilt of her sword. She opens the door to her shop and walks in. A hand grabs hers on the hilt of her sword, and another one grabs her shoulder and spins her around.

The man looks at her under a hard gaze, almost as if evaluating her.

"Where did you get that necklace?" He asks roughly.

"My father gave it to me before he disappeared. Why?" His face softens to a look of puzzlement.

"Nicole?"

"How do you know my name?" there is a mixture of confusion and fear on her face, and bits of purple had made their way into her eyes.

"When you were little, your father taught you a rhyme-"

"How do you know all of this?" She demands. His hand comes off the hilt of her sword and comes to rest on her other shoulder.

"Nicole, I am your father." Brown specks had replaced some of the purple ones in her eyes. "I gave you that pendant before I left for the sea. It has five diamonds surrounding a black pearl, set in a gold star, on a gold chain, with a fishhook clasp in the back." She knows that he couldn't have had enough time to see the pendant and chain, and the clasp was hidden by her long, flowing, golden wheat colored hair.

"What is your name?" She can't remember her father's last name, but she remembers his first, and only her father could have known all that he said. Except for Mr. Grey.

"Captain Jack Sparrow."

"Daddy?" She whispers. He breaths a sigh of relief, then pulls her into a warm embrace. Nicole starts crying softly into his shoulder. When she should be angry and asking him why he abandoned her and her mother, and didn't he care enough to at least send word to tell them he was alive.

"Yes, daddy's here now, shh..." He gently rubs her back and rocks her back and forth. They sit down on a bench. Nicole cries herself to sleep in her father's arms, and he too, falls asleep.
