Prologue
Tortuga, 1710
Will Turner sat on the beach holding his six month old daughter watching the sunrise. Annabelle Turner, her birth had been full off joy and sadness. Her mother, Elizabeth Turner, died bringing her into the world leaving Will only their daughter as a remembrance of her. When Elizabeth and Will announced their engagement to her father he disowned her and they left Port Royal that night for Tortuga to look for their friend Captain Jack Sparrow.
Will made a good living as a pirate. And after having taken his share of the treasure from the Isla de Muerta they had a very good lifestyle and lived very comfortably. Three months after they married they found out that Elizabeth was pregnant and eagerly awaited the arrival of the new Turner. But at Annabelle's birth Elizabeth's life failed.
Will watched the sunrise as his daughter slept and couldn't help but wish that he had someone to love and who would love him and his daughter. But Will forgot that you should never make a wish unless you're prepared for it to come true. As will made the wish both he and Annabelle were enveloped in a white light and disappeared from Tortuga, the Caribbean and 1710 forever.

Modesto, CA, USA; 2004
Jocelyn was walking to her car after a hard days work. She was singing her favorite song, 'My Immortal' by Evanesence.
I'm so tired of being here,
Suppressed by all my childish fears.
And if you have to leave,
I wish that you would just leave.
'Cause your presence still lingers here,
And it won't leave me alone
Chorus:
These wounds won't seem to heal,
This pain is just too real.
There's too much that time can not erase.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears.
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.
And I've held your hand through all of these years.
But you still have…all of me
You used to captivate me,
By your resonating light.
Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind.
Your face it haunts,
My once pleasant dreams.
Your voice it chased away,
All of the sanity in me.
Chorus
And I've tried to tell myself that you're gone,
But though your still with me,
I've been alone all along
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears.
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears.
And I've held your hand through all of these years.
But you still have…all of me…me…me[1]
Jocelyn looked up into the sky and saw a shooting star. She sighed, "Why is it that I haven't met the one person I've been waiting for my whole life. I just wish that I had a family of my own."
Jocelyn quickly entered her car, put on the radio and drove home. She was still pissed about what had occurred earlier that day.
[Flashback: Earlier that day]
Jocelyn had been sitting at her desk working on some homework for her classes when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She suppressed her shock and turned to find; surprise, surprise; her 'stalker' Nathaniel Jones. She glared at him, "What to want Mr. Jones?" she asked icily.
Nathaniel smirked then leaned down and whispered into her ear, "You know Jo if you go out with me I can make you a very happy woman…"
Jocelyn pushed him away looking at him in disgust. "THAT IS IT I HAVE HAD IT MR. JONES. I AM REPORTING YOU FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT. I HAVE NEVER GIVEN YOU ANY REASON TO BELIEVE I WAS INTERESTED INYOU, I HAVE TOLD YOU REPEATEDLY THAT I WILL NEVER GO OUT WITH YOU. YET YOU PERSIST EVEN THOUGH I HAVE TOLD TIME AND AGAIN TO GET LOST. NOW LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE." She yelled as she left the receptions desk and walked over to the managers office and started reporting the sexual harassment.
Jocelyn finally arrived at her apartment building and parked her car in the carport. Oblivious as to what awaited her inside her apartment as she walked upstairs.
