"Abby?" he asked almost afraid that it wouldn't be her and he had gotten his hopes up for nothing.
"Aye," Abby said in a some what guarded tone.
"Are ye Abby Sparrow?" Jack asked trying to wrap his mind around the fact that he might have found his daughter after all.
"It depends on who's askin'. I'm not one to give my name out to strange men who appear outta no where." She stated
"So if you're Abby Sparrow that would make you the daughter of Captain Jack Sparrow, would it not?" Jack asked.
"Like I said before it depends on who's askin," she said starting to get annoyed with this man that wouldn't leave her alone. "Listen here, and listen good. If you're lookin for Jack don't ask me cause I don't have a clue to where he is. If you're lookin to try to get revenge on him, don't think of usin me cause I can assure you even if he did give a dam 'bout me, he probably don't know I'm alive so you're waisten breath.
That statement felt like a bullet to the chest. How could his daughter ever think that he didn't give a dam about her? How could she for one second think that? "What if I were ta tell ya where Jack is?" he asked
"I'd ask ya right now why you'd think I'd care?" she asked some what harshly. It's not like she intended for it to come out that way. But this man was starting to drive her crazy. So she stepped out of the ally and into the drunken streets of Tortugas, leaving Jack back in the ally. She was on her way to the one of her favorite pubs the "Faithful Bride".
She stepped inside and felt the warmth on her face. She headed over and sat in a corner table where she could just watch the people, with out being spotted to easily. She was someone that couldn't stay in one place for to long. Weather it be the fact that she was usually on the run from various people. Or the fact the ocean seemed to call her name. But how could she not be drawn to the ocean if Jack Sparrow was her father. Every where she went she heard his name and about all of his adventures. One of the reasons she was only known as Abby, was because she wanted to be a great pirate on her own not because of who her father was.
She was interrupted by a tap on the shoulder. And there stood behind her a rather larger man that looked to weigh about 230 pounds. His teeth were almost nonexistent, and he seemed to be rather angry.
"YOU'RE THE WENCH THAT KILLED HALF ME CREW," he yelled
"Aye, and you're the bloke that can't seem to understand that I don't want to be talkin with ya right now." Abby stated calmly. Then she turned around in her chair completely ignoring the man
Where Jack was when all this was happening:
Jack stood there completely shocked. He had just found his daughter that had been missing from him for at least 12 years. The very fact that she was still alive made him happy. But the fact that she thought he didn't care about him hurt him deeply.
It took him about 5 minutes to realize that she wasn't standing there. When he finally realized it he went in search of her. He looked around the crowded streets, trying to figure out where she was. He finally decided to look in the pubs. So he started with one of his favorites the "Faithful Bride". He had jut entered the pub when he heard someone shout
"YOU'RE THE WENCH THAT KILLED HALF ME CREW,"
Jack instantly looked around the pub in search of his daughter. There was no doubt in his mind that that man was yelling at Abby. And no one was going to talk to his daughter like that.
He made his way over to where Abby and the man were, just in time to see Abby say something to the man and turn around as if he wasn't there. That made Jack chuckle a little bit. But his amusement quickly turned to fear when he saw the man reach for his knife.
He was getting ready to draw his sword when he realized Abby was out of her chair standing with her pistol to the mans head. Jack was finally close enough to them to hear what Abby was saying.
"Listen good, don't think for a minute that I'll hesitate to pull this trigger. Yeah, I killed half ye crew, but if you cross me again don't think that ye'll have a crew to talk about, savvy?" she said glaring at the man.
The man nodded his head to shocked to say anything to the little spit fire. Just as he thought she would let him go he felt immense pain where she need him in the groin. She then punched in the nose.
"I thought ye was letting me go?" he questioned once he gained enough strength.
"No, I said I wasn't ganna kill the rest of ye crew or ye, I said nothin 'bout lettin ya go unscratched." she said with a grin
He then ran out of the pub, hopping to set sail, and get a way from the little spit fire.
Jack who had watched the whole thing was impressed with his daughter's skills and courage. He couldn't think of to many people that would be that calm in a situation like that. He made his way over to her table and sat down.
Abby looked up from her rum to see that annoying man that had been in the ally a few minutes ago.
"I don't think that I got the pleasure of introducin meslef luv." He stated
"Aye, but I didn't ask who ye were so it would seem that I don't really care who ye be." She stated some what more annoyed with this man.
"Well allow me anyways. I be Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl." He stated proudly, waiting on seeing the reaction on Abby's face.
To say Abby was shocked would be one thing, but Abby was beyond shocked. She couldn't even speak. All she could do was stare.
Jack was expecting some kind of outburst or questions, but all he was met with was silence.
"Why?" Was all she could think to ask.
"Why what luv?" Jack asked some what confused by the question she asked.
"Why are you here? Why did you pick this time to find me? WHY THE HELL DID YOU EVEN HAVE TO COME BACK? I MEAN I WAS FINE BEFORE!" she could understand why he chose now of all times to come back. He put a hand over her mouth to silence her.
"Abby, listen you have to calm down, savvy? Why don't we go back to the Pearl and talk bout this?" He asked hoping that maybe everything would work out.
Abby nodded her head. At this moment she didn't know what to think. Her mind was racing with millions of different questions. She didn't know what to feel either. She wasn't sure if she should be angry with him. Happy that she was finally able to meet him. Or if she should be scared of what might happen. Abby had been through a lot in her life. And she wasn't sure how much more disappointment she could take.
Jack on the other hand was overjoyed. He thought that it would take much more persuading to get her to talk to him, let alone come aboard the Pearl. He wondered what had happened to her these past years. Where she learned to fight, how she got branded, and so much more.
When they finally boarded the Black Pearl they were greeted with many stares. Most of the crew was back aboard seeing how they were leaving at sunrise. All the crew could do was stare at this girl who seemed to bare a remarkable resemblance to their Captain. Mr. Gibbs was the first to speak.
"Aye, is that ye Abby?" Gibbs asked slightly surprised to see her there. The last time he had seen her had been when she escaped the gallows around 3 years ago.
"Aye Gibbs, it's Abby," she stated flatly. Gibbs had been one of the many to see her escape the gallows at one point or another. He was also drunk a lot and some times has trouble remembering people.
"How do ye know Abby Gibbs?" Jack asked. Slightly surprised that she was known by anyone.
"Why Abby here a list almost as long as your Jack. How many countries is it now Abby 8 9?" he laughed. He was pretty sure she was banned from more countries than that.
"It's at 12 now Gibbs. Can't say that I deserve them all though." Abby laughed at the questioning expressions on Jack and the crews faces. "There a price on my head in at least 12 countries now. Though I can't say that is the exact number."
Jack couldn't really believe it. Not only was his daughter a pirate, but from what it seemed to be a good too. "Abby how 'bout we have that talk now?" Jack suggested. He along with everyone else wanted to know who she was.
"Aye Jack I figure it'll be a long one," and with that she ducked below the deck assuming Jack would follow.
"Who is she Captain?" one crew member asked
"That's Abby Sparrow me daughter." And with that he also ducked below deck. Leaving the crew to stare at each other in shock. Gibbs was the first to recover.
"Alright ye mangy dogs get ta work, we be heading for Port Royal." Gibbs stated. The crew then went about their work all wondering if what they're Captain said was true.
