Jack Sparrow woke up. His head was pounding, and his mouth was very dry.

"Dad?" a soft voice said. "Are you awake?"

"Yes, Melissa, I am." he said to his small 12 year-old daughter. She smiled.

"Good, because Uncle Will and Aunt Elizabeth (A/N: that's what she calls them) are waiting downstairs for you,"

She went out of the room, her long black hair swinging in its normal single braid. Jack sat for a minute, lost in thought. His daughter had dark brown eyes and long black hair, like him. She was fast, smart, and funny, like him. But she wasn't daft like him. She was excellent with a sword, and she never missed her target with a gun, but she never tried to bargain her way out of things.

"Jack!" a voice cried, grinding into his headache. Elizabeth Turner walked in, followed by Will and Melissa. Melissa was holding a brand-new sword, and she was thanking Will profusely.

"I see you have a new sword, little bird," Jack smiled.

"Yes, dad. Uncle Will made it for me." she said proudly. Will smiled at her. None of the three adults could resist her. Nor could many of the boys on the island. She was gorgeous, but she thought that she was just plain. She was anything but. Jack shook his head and said, "Go get daddy an aspirin, there's a good girl."

Melissa hurried out, swishing and parrying with her sword on the way out.

"Jack," Elizabeth said nervously. "Is that safe, her being alone with a brand new sword?"

"Don't worry, she'll be fine!" Jack laughed.

Melissa came in, smiling and holding two aspirins in one small hand, a glass of water in the other.

"Here, dad. I thought you should have two for your hangover," she said cheekily. Jack rolled his eyes.

"Why don't you go practice with your Uncle Will?" he suggested.

"All right! I haven't had a lesson all year!" she said gleefully, and ran out, followed closely by Elizabeth and Will. Jack smiled. Melissa had them all wrapped around her little finger, and she didn't even know it. He had taken his aspirin, and he was just drifting off to sleep when a scream pierced the air. Melissa's scream. Jack jumped out of bed, dressed like lightning, grabbed his sword, and ran out just in time to see Elizabeth, Will, and Melissa being dragged off by his old crew. Not Mr. Gibbs and them, but Barbossa's old crew. He ran after them, trying to draw their attention, but they ignored him. They finally got to their boat, jumped aboard, and sailed away, leaving Jack onshore with tears streaming down his face and screaming to his daughter.

…

Melissa Sparrow sat in a little room, silently fuming. She was too angry to be afraid. She had just been dragged off, without putting up a fight! She was furious with herself. She got up and grabbed her sword. She decided to fight them now. She also had her pistol strapped onto her waist. She ran to the door, and, to her surprise, it opened first try.

'Dad wasn't kidding when he said that these pirates were really stupid.' she thought. She crept up the stairs, wincing at the littlest squeak. She came on deck to find Will and Elizabeth about to walk the plank.

"NO!" Melissa cried.

A man turned around. Melissa caught her breath.

"Well, well, if it isn't the young daughter of Jack Sparrow," Barbossa said.
