Thank you to the reviewers! It is greatly appreciated. I know it is starting to get confusing, and whatnot, but trust me everything will be explained in time...

Chapter Seven - Torture Chamber of KR's Life History

The days went by quickly and Jack said that we should be in Tortuga soon now. How excited I am, I really need to be on solid ground and need a change of scenery, badly. Anxiety had taken over my mind too, all the pestering thoughts of what's going to happen after we reach Tortuga. We made a deal we would only be a nuisance until we reached Tortuga, but what are we going to do when we get there? We don't know the customs or anything about the environment, excluding what we've seen from the movies, and I refuse to turn into a 'Scarlet'.

I shook the negative thoughts out of my mind and averted my gaze to the book Will had lent me. I never thought that Will would like to read, but it turns out that he has a vast collection in his trunk. Thankfully, Dana decided to give me a small break and take over the kitchen for a little while. It is really sweet of her because I haven't gotten much sleep lately. I wake up too early, and go to bed too late thanks to Ashley and her talkative ways. Now I find myself drifting off every once in a while, while I am in the middle of doing something important.

" Hey, Kami." Came Will's voice from the door. I looked up over my book and smiled. I was just sitting on the floor in the corner of the cabin, with a book in my hands and a pillow under my butt reading comfortably. That and drifting off every once in awhile.

" What book did you choose?" He asked removing his vest and throwing it onto his bed. I closed the book, my finger keeping my place, and read the title to him.

" 'Pirate Myths and Legends.'" I said monotonously in a rich English accent while stifling a giggle that was threatening to escape my lips. Will smiled and walked over, taking a seat on the floor next to me.

" What are you doing down here?" I questioned resting the book in my lap, repeating the page number over and over again in my mind. 120, 120, 120…don't forget 120. 120

" Jack gave me a rest from the helm." He said leaning his head back against the hard wood wall. I nodded slowly.

" How long have you been out there?" Will didn't answer, but just shrugged his shoulders wearily.

" I have no idea, I do know that I am tired though." My mouth formed an 'o' shape.

" I'll leave you to it then." I said making to get up. He put a hand on my shoulder and held me back. I stiffened at his touch and looked back at him. He was just sitting there, smiling sweetly like the charmer he is. I sat back down and made myself comfortable.

" I could use company." He said his eyes fluttering closed. I laughed and shook my head at him.

" You are tired, Will. Rest, but if you want to be comfortable I suggest that you move to the bed." He opened his eyes and shook his head.

" I'll be fine, just talk." I glanced around awkwardly. What do I say? I thought to myself with a frown.

" Um, so what do you want me to talk about?" Will lifted his head and looked at me, his eyes locking on mine.

" Tell me about yourself." He offered with a quick smile. My shoulders fell.

" What do you know already, so I don't bore you with it all over again." Will laughed and shook his head.

" Bore me with it, it's more than likely I will not be awake anyway." He said sarcastically and opening one eye and looking over at me with a smile. I rolled my eyes and looked over at him with my eyebrows raised.

" Fine then, you've just submitted yourself into the torture chamber of Kamilia Ramsell's life history." I said, giving him one last chance to change his mind. He nodded, crossing his arms over his chest.

" Alright, where to begin…" I said tiredly, tapping my fingers loudly against the book in my lap. Suddenly, like lightening, Will's hand clamped over mine, stilling them.

" Noise is annoying." He said before issuing a yawn. I forced a laugh, but inside my heart was racing. His hand didn't move, but stayed locked over mine.

" Talking is a noise." I argued, he looked over at me and shook his head.

" That's not an annoying noise." I smiled and then cleared my throat expertly.

" Okay, Kami's Life Story." I said mock enthusiasm dripping from my voice. Will chuckled, letting me know he was still conscious.

" Well, I was adopted." Will's eyes popped open at this and he looked down at me, surprise etched in his features.

" I didn't know you were adopted." I nodded.

" Yup, when I was a baby someone found me alone on a park bench and took me to the authorities. I was put in an orphanage until I was 5, when the Ramsell family took me in." Will's head nodded every once in a while. I paused, unsure of what to say.

" And I am living happily ever after, the end!" I said with a big smile.

" No it's not. Do you know anything about your real parents?" Will asked, suspiciously interested. I shrugged.

" You mean my biological parentals?" I shook my head. " Not really, all I have of my mother is this pendant, and it doesn't really say anything. It's in Italian so I can't read it." I added quietly, fingering the necklace around my neck. Will's eyes widened, as if he had just had revelation or something.

" All I know is that it says, blah-blah-blah- Kamille, on it."

" Kamille?" He asked hoarsely. I looked up at him concerned.

" Are you okay, Will? You look a little pale." He nodded reassuringly. I watched him for a second afterwards and just ignored it.

" Yeah, my adoptive parents changed it to 'Kamilia' because they like it better." I said casually. So do I. I thought closing my eyes for a second.

" Ah, you see that is interesting." I laughed brushing my dark bangs from my eyes.

Will's POV-

The minute she started talking about herself my ears perked up and the tiredness went away. She spoke of how she is adopted, and how her parents changed her name…and it all makes Jack's story even more plausible, and that scared me. I don't know why, but there is this feeling in my stomach that something isn't right, like something is going to happen and I can't shake the feeling off.

It's because you like her. A voice in my mind taunted. I shook my head slightly.

She is a friend, besides she is only seventeen years of age! I countered my mind relaxing momentarily.

You are only 21, four year age difference. Is that so bad? Will nodded to himself.

Yes!.. . and no, but that's besides the point. I love Elizabeth. A pleasant laugh sounded in the air and I looked down to see Kami staring up intently at me, a smile on her face.

" What?" I asked sheepishly. She shook her head and laughed.

" What are you thinking about?" I shrugged.

" Nothing, just drifting off." She shook her head, a smile still shadowing her face.

" Then why were you nodding and shaking your head?" I froze, thinking for a decent answer.

" Was I?" He asked lamely. She nodded at him, and then looked down at our hands. Our hands? I looked down and realized that my hand was still placed gently over hers and I hadn't even noticed it. I pulled my hand away, turning my head.

" Ahem, I am going to go take a nap." I said quickly, standing up on my feet and striding over to my bed.

You do not think of her in that way! You do not! She's too young! The laughter came back, but it wasn't Kami's, it was his own and it was coming from his head.

Elizabeth, is gone and you know it! Now get over it and admit you think Kami is gorgeous. My mind haunted and my shoulders fell.

Go away! I'm tired... The voices stopped and I climbed up on my bed, fighting the urge to look back at Kami. Ilowered my boggled head down on my comfortable pillow.

If Will had looked back at Kami, he would have seen a disappointed frown gracing her face.

ON DECK
" We are the pi-IRATES WHO DON'T DO ANYTHING! WE JUST STAY HOME, AND LIE AROUND!" Ashley and Gina screamed at the top of their lungs up in the crows nest. Below them people were shouting and pleading them to stop the insufferable noise. About a half an hour ago they started up a sing-along and were now have almost officially driven the entire crew bonkers.

" AND IF YOU a-ASK US TO DO ANYTHING!" They paused to take a deep breath. " WE'LL JUST TELL YOU! WE DON'T DO ANNNNNYYYYYYYYYTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHIIIIIIINNNNNNNGGG!" They bellowed, ending off their favorite veggietales song with a roar of laughter.

" WILL YOU SHUT THE BLAST UP!" Screamed Anamaria, ready to tear off her ears and feed them to the sharks herself.

" AYE!" The crew echoed. " SHUT UP!" Anamaria nodded her head viciously and then went back to mending a ripped sail.

" You're just jealous because we get to sit up here and do nothing." They emphasized the word nothing, aiming it directly at Capt'n Sparrow, who was standing straight, faced at the wheel looking out over the water.

" You get a line, I'll get a pole, Ashley!" Gina started clapping her hands for a rhythm. " You get a line, I'll get a pole, Ryann." Ashley laughed and clapped along merrily.

" You get a line, I'll get a pole. We'll go fishin' at the crocodile hole, Ashley Ryann Thomas!" She finished, yodeling like a maniac. Then Ashley's eyes widened and she slapped Gina's shoulder, pointing out in a random direction. Gina glared over at her and looked towards where Ashley was pointing. A big smile lit up her face and she began to jump up and down happily.

" I spy land ahead Captain!" Ashley shouted down at Sparrow. He looked up, shielding his eyes from the sun and then looked out across the water.

" Aye! It be true, lads…and lassie's. Thar' be land ahead!" he yelled to his crew. Loud shouts and whoops broke out across the deck. They had finally reached Tortuga.

Dallas' POV-

It's 'bout bloo'y time. He grinned evily, stroking his chin and staring intently out into the distance.

Time t' ge' information fro' the litt'e gurl.

Thirty-minutes after land had been spotted, Lonnie was talking to the captain privately in his cabin.

" I remembered,well Dana reminded me,that today is Kami's 18th birthday." He said, hoping that the captain caught the hint he was throwing at him.

" Where we come from, the 18th birthday is a special one..." he said, hoping to convince the captain who just sat there with his head in the clouds. Then Jack's face scrunched up in confusion.

" I didn't know Concord ha' a tradition li' tha'."He noted curiously. Lonnie's face went pale and his eyes grew wide.

" Um, yeah well...I-I meant in our family. The 18th birthday is special in our family." He lied through his teeth, watching the captain's face carefully. Jack nodded.

" So wha' ar' ye goin' t' do?" He asked with a sigh. Lonnie smiled, and then lowered his voice.

" You see, we need something special. Something that will mean something to her..." he trailed off, racking his brain for information. Then he came up with a plan.

" I have a brilliant idea, sir. But I might need your help, and a little bit of money." Jack raised an eyebrow at the young lad...

Hazel: Happy B-day, Kami!

Kami: Takes a bow- Thank you! Thank you! I'll be here all week.

Hazel: I gave you the pleasure of having my best bud's birthday...November 15

Kami: Cool...So what did you get me.

Hazel: Something...

Kami: Come one...

Hazel: NOPE!
