Chapter 7

"Why did you want to come down here?" Victoria asked.

"Well, if you come with me to the harbour I will show you." He told her.

"Okay." she smiled. They walked down to the harbour and sat down on the rocks facing the ocean right where Jack had been earlier that day. Victoria got a warm feeling as she sat down. She looked at Ben and smiled.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Ben asked, smiling and looking towards the ocean. It really was beautiful, the full moon lit up the sky and reflected off the calm ocean making it shimmer in the moonlight.

"It's the most beautiful thing I have ever seen," she answered. "You're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen" Ben told her quietly. Victoria was surprised at his comment and she blushed. Then he moved in and gave her a long, deep kiss.

Will and Jack were heading back to the ship, walking towards the harbour. Jack wanted to find his daughter. He knew she was alive and was near him somewhere, but he wanted to leave Tortuga because of his dislike for it. The saw two shadows sitting not too far away, obviously two people kissing. It reminded Jack of when he and Victoria would share a romantic night on the harbour.

"Jack, I'm sorry to ask this again. But you've been acting very strange lately. You're not being your old reckless self." Will said.

"Will, for the last time, I AM PERFECTLY FINE! Savvy?" Jack lied. Will shook his head.

"I think your lying!" Will spoke.

"Well, I am a pirate." Jack stated.

"There's something your keeping from me Jack. What is it?" he asked.

"It's nothing big. You wouldn't care." Jack added.

"I know your still lying. Just tell me! Maybe you'll feel better!" Will demanded. Jack paused and kept walking.

"Do you want me to leave you by your oncey then?" Will asked.

"No Will, I will tell you." Jack said quietly, "Sixteen years ago my wife died giving birth to my baby daughter and two years later, my old first and best mate kidnapped her right here in Tortuga. The last time I saw her was right here in the harbour." Jack explained.

Ben and Victoria pulled away from their kiss. Victoria was shocked at how sudden it was but she liked it.

"Amazing!" she exclaimed, "What a wonderful night!" she sighed.

"I've been waiting for that for a long time Vicky" he told her, putting his arm around her shoulder.

"So have I!" she blushed. She leaned against him. They both heard voices somewhere around them.

"I should walk you back home now." Ben said.

"Yeah." she replied, disappointed. She didn't want to leave. But they both got up and started to walk back to town. As they left the harbour they saw two men standing there. Victoria stood closer to Ben, not too sure of the two.

Will was in complete shock. He couldn't believe Jack Sparrow was a widow and had a daughter.

"I can't believe it!" Will said in disbelief.

"I'm not lying this time," Jack said.

"I believe you this time too!" Will exclaimed. Jack saw the couple that he had seen kissing earlier. He watched them as they walked closer and then they entered the torchlight. He caught a glimpse of their faces.

Jack's mouth dropped when he saw the face of the young girl.
