Enjoy. Emma's memories are in italics.
It was probably late at night and everyone seemed to be asleep. Except for Emma Sparrow-Swann that is. William was lying to her side snoring softly and Anna was asleep as well for a little while now. Suddenly, she felt a hand lay on her shoulder.
"Emma?" It was only Jack. "Couldn't sleep either."
"We're natural insomniacs I think," she said.
"Always have been, always will be."
They both chuckled but were very quiet about it.
"I have a small question for you dear sister."
"Ask away."
"How exactly did you get on that island?"
Emma sighed once and then again.
"Tell me, just so I can find the man and kick him where the sun don't shine."
"Very well. It all started about nine years ago..."
The ship ride to Tortuga had been long and dull. Still dressed as a man, Emma wandered around a bit before coming to the good old Faithful Bride. People were all over the place either drunk or playing cards since it was still early in the day. She went up to the bar and asked if there were any messages for an Emma.
"Why, yes. Man just an hour ago asked me ter tell you that you are to meet him at the docks at nine o'clock tonight."
She thanked him with a shilling and asked for a room to freshen up in.
That night, she was dressed in a light dress and waiting at the docks for anyone. She felt a hand on her shoulder and turned not to find her brother but some other man.
"You Sparrow's sister?" he asked.
She took in his fancy hat, yellow tinted eyes and horrible teeth.
"Yes."
She suddenly heard a gun cocking and he had it to her stomach.
"Come, this way," he said moving along.
She had no choice and went along in front as he led her to the ship.
It really was very beautiful but she didn't have much of a chance to actually see it. The men already on the ship leered and catcalled her as she entered but she glared horribly at them so they stopped. The ship left the port and the man grabbed her bag and looted through it as if trying to find something.
He finally came upon a certain red plum dress with black lace trim. "This 'ere be fancy enough for a dinner. What say you men?"
They all laughed and she was pushed into a room and the door was locked behind her.
"Well, at least they're being thoughtful," she thought to herself.
She really didn't want to put on this dress. Weatherby said it looked nice on her and it was really just for him though he didn't want her anymore. Yet she did anyway. When the door was opened again ten minutes later, the man took her arm and led her to a dining room where all sorts of foods were waiting. He led her to her seat and then went and sat across from her. He poured them both some wine and began to eat. Emma cut her meat and began to eat daintily. It came to her suddenly that she didn't even know the man's name. She asked him and he wiped his mouth on his sleeve before responding.
"My name is Hector Barbossa and I am the man who killed your brother."
"You lie. My brother is alive. He is the one who sent for me and I came. Where is he?"
"Dead on an island. Don't you know your pirate's code lass?"
"Why am I here?"
"Just wanted a bit of fun with you is all."
"And how exactly did you know I was alive in the first place."
She seemed to have him there, or so she thought.
"I had you tracked down of course. You probably didn't know this but your brother thought you to be dead. Got him drunk one night and that's how we're both here as it seems. Me with both his ship and sister and him wasting away on a spit of land."
She went over and gave him a swift jab at the jaw which caused him to fall back on his chair.
"Powerful swing lass. You'll be spending the remaining time on this ship in me quarters I think."
"He didn't actually touch you did he?"
She shook her head and continued.
About three days later they had stopped by some island. Emma was let out of the room only to find herself having to walk the plank.
"Please lass, a memento of your stay here," Barbossa jeered with a hand extended.
She gave him the dress and he gave her back her bag. She stood with her back to the water and grinned evilly.
"Alas, this is the day that you almost had Emma Sparrow caught. I'll be back."
She jumped in and swam ashore.
"So that's it then."
"Yes."
Someone suddenly came down the stairs and everyone woke up because he had a bell with him. "Time to rise and shine," he shouted.
He went over to a cage near the back that thankfully wasn't Emma, Jack, and Will's but was unfortunately the one with Elizabeth and Bill.
"I think it's time we brought up the ladies next."
Many of them moaned and asked for mercy but all were brought to their feet. Elizabeth stayed by Mary and five others as they were taken away. Then the man came to Will, Jack and Emma's cage.
"Men, come on."
They all stood as well and everyone was led to somewhere else.
Trailer was full of yay-ness. I'm sorry to say that this is the last chapter I have prewritten and schoolwork is starting to pile up a bit so everything is on a slight hiatus. Hope you enjoyed it and keep a sharp eye on the horizon for the next chapter. Later :-)
