Chapter One

Elizabeth Swann walked down the road, trying to find someone by the name of James Sparrow. As far as she knew, He had to be Jack Sparrow's father. Suddenly, a yell pierced her ears.

"Hey you! What are you doing here?" came a girl's voice. Elizabeth turned around. She looked the girl over. The girl didn't look older than twelve. She had medium dark brown hair, brown eyes, and the clothes of a pirate adorning her.

"My name is Elizabeth Swann. I am here to find James Sparrow." Elizabeth told her. The girl looked her over, as if Elizabeth were familiar or something.

"Aye. He's my grandfather. Follow me." The girl led Elizabeth to a small home on the edge the docks. She stormed through the door.

"GRANDPA! THERE'S A WOMAN HERE FOR YOU!" she yelled. The girl plopped down on a small bed that sat on the other side of the room. An older man came in through what looked to be the back door of the home.

"You're lookin for me, Ma'am?" He asked. He gestured for her to sit down at a wooden table. Elizabeth sat.

"Yes, sir. I'm here to find you and inquire if your son goes by the name Jack Sparrow." She said. His eyes widened.

"Jack? You know where he is? I haven't seen him in years," he said and turned to the girl, "Alena, go out and have a swim. You need it." He told her. Alena left with a huff. James turned back to her. Elizabeth smiled.

"So you do know Jack. He is your son. Do you have any other children, Mr. Sparrow?" She asked. The man shook his head.

"No. My wife died the week after he was born." Elizabeth was puzzled.

"Then how did you come across Alena, then?" she asked. The man was silent for several moments.

"Jack…… Jack fell in love about thirteen years ago. The woman was seven months pregnant when she heard that the Black Pearl sank. Jack never returned for her……..He couldn't. She carried to term, but died shortly after. Alena has been with me ever since." Elizabeth was silent in shock. Jack had fallen in real love…He'd even had a child? Suddenly her heart filled with sorrow for the scurvy pirate. She knew now how he had known what had taken Davy Jones' heart…and why he'd been so serious about it.

"So……Jack……never knew about the child?" she asked, slowly.

"To tell you the truth, I don't know if he knew. But he could never come back here. It would become known that the famous Jack Sparrow was a father, and would possibly be settling down. But worst of all, he would have to re-visit the heartbreak of his past." He told her.

Elizabeth sighed. "Mr. Sparrow, I have come to ask you to join us in the search for Jack. And now we beg of you to please help……and to reunite Jack with his daughter.

"Yes. Yes! Of course! Anything that will make Alena happy. She's always been curious. That's why she dresses like a pirate." He said.

Elizabeth smiled. "Let's get Alena and get going then." James and Elizabeth headed out to the docks where Alena was dangling her feet into the ocean. She looked up.

"Alena, we're leaving." James said. She stared up at her grandfather.

"What? Where?" she asked. Elizabeth recognized Jack's spirit in her. She smiled as she thought of how much she could hate the pirate, and yet she still loved their adventures together. Her, Will ,and Jack could have so much fun.

" We're going to find your father." James told Alena. Her eyes widened and she jumped up.

"Then what are we waiting for?" She exclaimed. She ran to the house and returned with a small box. They started down the lane.

"We're going to be on a ship? That's so exciting!" She said when her grandfather told her where they would be staying.

"Alena, you have a family behind you…The crew of your father's ship. They'll love you just as much as they loved Jack." Elizabeth said. They soon arrived at Captain Barbossa's new ship that they had commendered, The Ocean Goddess. As soon as they were onboard, Elizabeth's fiancé, Will, swept her up in a kiss.

"Will, I found not only Jack's father, but his daughter. I'll tell you the story later." She told him. As Will was registering this, Jack's first mate, Mr. Gibbs spoke.

"Jack Sparrow, a daughter? That isn't possible!" he exclaimed.

"Look at her. Listen to her talk. You can tell that Jack is somewhere in there!" she snapped.

"Well, Elizabeth. Let's meet Ms. Sparrow then."
