Chapter 1- Jack's Reminiscence
Captain Jack Sparrow was looking at the sunset. Ever since Will drove a dagger through Davy Jones' heart and had to abandon Elizabeth except once every ten years Barbossa had been distant. He had known Barbossa since they were sixteen/seventeen and he had only seen him like this a few times before in his life. Hector Barbossa was a man that showed little emotion during a crisis. The worst time was 18 years previous. They had arrived at a hidden pirate port that only pirates could find and knew about. Tallavesta was a port like no other. Barbossa had met his true love there. They had been together for 3 years when it happened. Tallavesta had been infiltrated. Spies for the government had found their way in. By the time they arrived, the town was destroyed. No one knew what had happened to Rachel. There was no trace of her body anywhere. It was likely she had escaped but that instance wrecked Barbossa's heart in two. He would have committed suicide if Jack had not caught him. He had never been fully right in the head since that fateful day. He had tried many more times to kill himself with no success. He came to the point where he could not even be left alone for long periods at a time. He finally got over it enough to be considered sane by the rest of the crew. He eventually started to blame Jack for her "death". He then turned the crew against him. He then caused all this to happen. Now he was distant again. Jack knew Barbossa was thinking about Rachel. He secretly wished she would suddenly appear just to comfort him. Hector Barbossa's one true love would never come back though however much he would hope. He did not know then that he was terribly wrong.
