Hi I am Lora Elizabeth Sparrow and I sail the seas with my mother and father. They never seem to get along. It has not always been like that. My mom always tells me about the good old days when she did not even think of being involved with him. All she wanted to do was to have amazing adventures. But as she puts it that was the past. And no one can change that. ( 15 years old. Long black hair. Tall.)

My mom never cheats at anything. My dad on the other hand is almost always cheating. At anything. He would never do anything to hurt my mom physically. He would also never hurt her emotionally if he were ever sober. He is always drunk. She he cheats on anything if you get what I mean.

So I want to tell you a story about my step dad Jack. He is an amazing man. He is always there to talk to me when I need help. And almost always I end up laughing. He would do anything for my mom. Even let her marry someone else so she would be happy. He did. And she would have stayed with the other man if not for his death. That other man was my real dad. He died when I was one month old. He could not stay away from the open water.

I listen to stories of the days when they all four traveled together every night. I have heard them so many times. But I have never grown tired. I always look forward to hear them.

Elizabeth Swan sat sadly on a small island far out in the ocean. All she wanted to do was to find Jack. It was all her fault this had happened. She had locked him up. Now it was her and Wills wedding day and all she could think about was Jack and the kiss. She was not sure if Will had seen. But for the while after she had Will would not talk to her. Now, though they were getting married.

"Elizabeth is everything all right?" Will asked from behind her.

"Sure. But don't you think we should wait till we find Jack to get married?"

"Mrs. Swan…."

"Don't call me that. You know my name. Call me by it."

"Elizabeth I want to get married now."

"Why?"

"Because if we are not married when we find him he will try to stop the wedding. And you would probably go with him."

"Don't say that I …." SHE PAUSED "You saw the kiss?"

"Yes I did."

"It did not mean anything."

"I saw how passionate it was. Do not try to lie to me. You can lie to yourself but not to me. I love you. And I truly believe if you are with Jack you will be so unhappy."

"I know I will. But I also know how I feel for him. It is so easy. With you I am not at all sure. I feel as if I have to hide something."

"You don't. All you need to do is be yourself. That is all I ask. Okay? Do you understand?"

"Not really. I love both of you. If you want you to marry me I will. I promise I will try. If you want me too. Okay?"

"That is all I ask."

"Fine."

"So you will marry me?"

"I guess so."

"You have me the happiest person on Earth."

"Good for you."

My mom says that was the beginning of her problems. I don't always believe it. I never met me dad but stories from his crew told he was an amazing man. He actually was a very kind pirate. He died protecting our ship in battle. Or that what the crew members said. My mom's story is very different. I am not sure which one to believe. I am not sure if I should trust a pirate or my own mother.
