~Chapter 1~

The moon was high, and the stars were shining, and not a breath of wind touched the ocean. The waves that formed in the water were to be described as ripples, and they lapped silently against the hull of the notorious Black Pearl.

It's Black sails were down, and a steady drunken snore could be heard from the crows nest. Some of the boards creaked and the clank of bottles being brought together and laughter could be heard from some of the cabins below. A dark figure leaned against the rail.

His wild black hair was somewhat tamed by a red bandana, and beads and braids adorned it. He pulled at his beard, and tugged at his Buccaneer boot before taking another sip of the half empty rum bottle at his side. He surveyed the stars with his coal-lined eyes.

"Cap'n"

The man turned,

"Yes Mr. Gibbs"

"It's a late night maybe you should get to bed."

The man, best known as Captain Jack Sparrow, nodded "aye" he said, and started down the stairs, he walked down the corridor and into the cabin marked as his own. Placing his hat on one of the many pegs that lined the wall, he than walked to his desk and sat at the chair. He thought on about the last few months, his escape, the return of his precious ship, and Will and Elizabeth's wedding. He smiled upon that, of course he had been invited, but no one, except the bride and groom, knew whom he was. "But I will never ever wear another fat merchant costume for the rest of my life..."

He looked at the desk and began sorting through the papers that were on it. He came across a letter. He picked it up and looked at it curiously. Then he remembered in Tortoga, about 4 days ago, someone had slipped him such a letter. He opened it up, and saw it was written in a woman's hand, he skimmed it through, and his eyes opened wide, he read it again more slowly, then a third and forth time. He set it down on the table, shook his head, took a swing of rum, and flopped on his bed, shaking his head again he closed his eyes "what am I to do?" he mumbled to himself and then he drifted off to a steady slumber. *~*~*~*~

The letter sat on his desk, and as he snored it rustled, and as the moon hit his window, the ink on it shone in the light:

Dear Jack,
I know you might not remember me, but I remember you. I remember the long walks on the beach at day, and the long nights. I remember you showing me freedom, from the rich life I was forced upon, the happiness it felt to free myself of parties, sitting straight, and too many dresses...that amazing feeling... But most of all I remember those nights in bed, my first, and also my last.

That is what I have written this letter to you about, it's been 14 years since I saw you. 14 years of missing you, and freedom. But now I have become sick with the plague and I write my will. To you I leave my house, my money, but most of all my daughter, our daughter.

Yes OUR daughter, you were the only man, so it has to be. She is 13 years old, strong, and adores the sea (I wonder where she go that...hmm?) You must bring her onto your ship, keep her safe, and care for her. I know it is a big responsibility, but do it, Or In my next state in life after death, I will make sure to haunt you.

Our daughter will meet you at the Tavern know as the Blue Diamond on Romand Island on the 6th of June, if you are not there, she will wait until the 14th. You will know her. Her name is Amelia(though she insists on being called Mila) She wears the silver locket you gave me on your depart.

I will miss this earth dearly, and I hope you will not forget the young noble girl you met in the Caribbean those 15 long years ago.

Sincerely Yours, Lady Beth Gilbert
