Chapter 1:

"Captain Sparrow... ma'am...Young master Turner is here!" My first mate called out from the dock.

"Aye,Welcome aboard lad!" I replied as I watched a young man, no more than eighteen. He looked so much like his father, dark brown curly locks of hair that hung loose around his shoulders, a small amount of whiskers gowning under his chin and beautiful brown eyes. We embraced each other for a moment "You look so much like your father, William" I smiled.

"It's Bill now. " he explained holding his chine up and spoke with the utmost pride with in his voice as he spoke that name.

"Bill, huh" I teased. Slapping him upon the back "Good name, good man." I replied. "It's about time the Pearl has a Bill Turner in her crew." I laughed.

"Where be..." he began to asked as he looked about the deck for someone.

I pointed off to my cabin door, "restin'" I whispered placing my pointer finger up to my lips "'ad a ruff night 'ast night" I winked.

Bill face grimaced at the thought of what I could have referred to by that, "Forget I asked" he was quick to reply. "How much longer till we set sail?" he asked adjusting he's sack of belongings that was resting upon his shoulder.

"Not long, not long" I replied as I went back to watching the crew load up the last of our supplies "So I take it that yer mum didn't take the news of you joinin' me crew very well" I replied pointing to the trace of lipstick that was still quite evident upon his cheek. I couldn't help but chuckle at the redness that quickly filled his cheeks as he tried to rid it from his face "Don't worry I gave yer mum my word that I'd look out after ye and I aim to keep it" I explained reassuring the lad.

"Auntie Lilly...I mean Captain Sparrow" he corrected himself as I raised an eyebrow for referring to my in a common manner. "I've heard of your adventures with Uncle Jack and how close a friend you were to my father. But you never would tell me of how you came became not only a pirate but a woman that is so respected of Uncle Jack's crew that they refer to you as Captain!" he asked bluntly.

"You don't waist anytime do ye! " I chuckled. Looking around the deck, I watched how busy the crew was " It's a long story lad and a lot of it was not fitting for a child ta hear" I explained. turning my head I gazed upon the the man that was now standing next to me, "I can see now that ye be no longer that young child that I helped bring into this world, so I'll tell you what you have been waiting fer so long to hear"

I watching Bill take a seat at the top of the port staircase leading up to the helm. I thought back to how I would sit in that very spot when ever I couldn't sleep at night or I needed to think, "It all started in a long forgotten town by the name of Port Rose. It was a beautiful and peaceful place the only post that I have ever seen that would even come close to it is over in Port Royal...

ZZZZ

I was the only daughter of the Governor of a small town called Port Rose. It was the only small town on the small island near Jamaica, but it was a wonderful place to live. I was born and raised there shortly after my mother and father had moved there shortly after they were married in London, England. My Father was given the title of Governor as a reword from a deed that he and my mother had done. Because of the difficultly of my delivery my mother died shortly after I was born and out of his love and devotion for my mother he never re-married. Granted that I was an only child, my father never spoiled rotten like other daughters of a high class family's tended to be. But yet he still catered to my every whim and desire. Everyday my father would tell me of how much I looked like my mother as I had her beautiful wavy red hair and emerald green eyes.

When I was becoming a woman he would ask me of my opinion on business matters that involved the well being of Port Rose and would take my advice above any of the ass-kissers that worked for him. Especially when he found out that a so-called merchant ship captain turned out to be a blood thirsty pirate that had come asking for my hand in marriage. He claimed that it was so he could "protect" Port Rose from being sacked and pillaged by the other pirates that were lurking in the Caribbean. But once I heard his name I new just from what I had heard from the towns people of who he really was. I did not hesitate to inform my father of this and to what he was truly after.

It was just after midnight when it it all started. I was awoken by the loud echoing blasts of several cannons firring. The light from each of the blast lite up my room giving the appearance of daylight. Jumping from my bed I ran quickly to my window and out onto my balcony so I could see what was happening in my quite Port Rose. I was shocked to see a large three mast ship in the center of the harbor "Pirates! We're under attack!" I gasped. Ducking back into my bedroom I quickly threw on my dressing robe and ran out into the hallway to find my father.

Racing down the grand staircase that led to the main hall of our mansion I saw my father standing at the bottom with a pistol in hand "Lilith you must get out of here. Hide yourself quickly, I don't want him to find you" he said to me as I ran to his side.

I will admit that I was scared out of my mind, " I don't want to leave you, I'm so scared father" I replied holding back the tears that so desperately wanted to flow from my eyes.

With a firm shove "Get out of here I don't want them to find you. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine" he yelled as the banging on the front door grew louder and louder.

Doing as I was told, I ran quickly out the back entrance of our home. Just as I shut the door I heard my father cry out in pain but it was soon cut short "Father" I gasped in disbelief even though I did see it with my own eyes I knew deep in my heart that he was dead. I could hear the muffled sounds of voices coming from with in. With tears flowing from my eyes I ran as fast as I could so that I would not share the same fate as my father or even worse.

I was almost to the Navel Barracks when a large one eyed pirate grabbed me about waist and lifted me up and began to carry me down through the streets. I screamed and cried out for someone to help me but all I got was his crude laughter, "Yell'n will do ye no good lass" he chuckled with an evil smirk upon his face. "ye be going to the Captain, he'll decide what is ta be done with ye" he replied.

I continued to scream and pound on him with my small fists, but it no use. We were almost to the docks when a man with Long dark locks of hair stepped out of the shadows. I couldn't see his face, with the way his tri-corner hat was tipped down, but I could see that he had several beads and trinkets woven in with a few dread locks the reached the center of his chest. Clearing his throat he pointed the end of his cutlass into the neck on my captor, "That's no way to get a lady mate! Ye better be setting 'er down and walk away if'n ye know whats good for ye, Savvy" he spoke in a deep intimating voice.

The man that held me just laughed "What makes ye think I won't kill ye where ye stand" setting me down he went to draw out his sword but was quickly stabbed strait into his heart. I stood there in complete shock over what I had just seen.

Quickly whipping the blood off of his blade and placing it back into its sheath he pulled me into the shadows just in time to avoid me from being seen by several other pirates that were heading our way. With a ringed hand placed over my mouth I was held there until it was clear, placing a finger over his lips he motioned for me to say quite as he slowly removed his hand from over my mouth . Now that I was closer I could see that his beard was placed into two long braids that ended with a few beads on them, "Do ye 'ave a safe place to go kid" he asked in a low whisper. I heard him sigh heavily when I shook my head no " Well I can't just leave ye out here with these pirate scum, now can I. Come with me kid, I'll take ye some place safe until me ship gets 'ere" he replied as he took hold of my hand and lead me out of his hiding place.

Very carefully he led me down the streets of Port Rose. Everywhere I looked I saw people crying and screaming as they watched there homes being raided and some were ever set a blaze. Suddenly a small troop of soldiers came running by us "The Governors been murdered, and Miss Greymore has been kidnapped" they cried out. When I heard this my hand slipped from the mans hand as I fell to the ground in grief, for the first time in my life I was completely on my own.

Stopping in mid-step he bent down and picked me up into his strong arms. Cradling me protectively he carried me into a small out of the way Inn. Opening up the door to to a small bedroom he placed me onto the bed and covered me up. Pulling a chair next to the bed he sat down next to me "Ye must be the Governors daughter Miss Greymore am I correct?" he asked but only had my loud sobs for an answer "I thought so" he sighed heavily." Get some sleep kid, I won't hurt ye" he replied as I closed me eyes and soon fell asleep.
