'Come on luv. We can take it step by step. I need ye back'' Jack spoke, words just a whisper yet they rang through Charlottes ears like a bell.
''Just tell me. Are you friends with Porter Quarterico? The man in that hut I just came from?" Charlotte asked, turning herself around.
''No lass. Far from it. Let me take you to me Ship and we can discuss details in there savvy?'' Jack smiled and held her hand. She replied the gesture, and nodded her head as a sign of approvement towards the way Jack was treating her - with respect.
Before long Jack and Charlotte had arrived at The Black Pearl. Her eyes searched around the Ship in every direction.
''Remember any of it luv?'' Jack asked gently, taking them towards his cabin they once shared.
''No, I'm trying. I trust you and I want to remember.''
Jack gave her a sympathetic smile before opening his cabin and gesturing her to sit on the bed while he got rid of his effects.
''Sienna I believe ye name was. Well, wha' Porter called ye anyways. But maybe you refuse to believe tha' ye' were once called Charlotte, Lottie we called ye. We've known each other since we were babes, lived practically opposite each other, me being only a year older than ye. When ye were fourteen, ye good looks came through. You musta got 'em of your mother, she was known for 'er beauty and wits. Tha's when we started seein' each other. We lasted until ye were seventeen, me being eighteen an' me father took me away when my mother died. Broke our hearts it did."
Throughout the speech Charlotte just gazed until something caught her eye. She sat up from the bed and walked over to what seemed a painted portrait.
"What's this?" She asked, interrupting his speech. She brushed the dust away. It was clearly a painting of two teenagers, lovers perhaps with the boy giving the girl a piggy back. The girl had long brown hair and was in some sort of dress, caked in mud at the bottom. She was smiling and had a humorous look upon her face. The boy had dreadlocks and a bandana around his forehead and was looking up at the girl admiringly.
"Tha's me and ye. Believe it or not. Me father paid a good fortune for an artist to paint this picture when he knew we were leavin'. I've kept it eva' since. Brings back a hella lot of memories. Good ones mind ye."
Charlotte smiled and placed the portrait carefully down and sat back down on the bed.
"Please continue"
Flashback begin:
It was Tortuga of all places her found her.
He had his fair share of adventures but he always felt somewhat misplaced when it came to whores. Sure, he had plenty but none of them matched up to Charlotte.
Nearly every night he was in Tortuga he got himself drunk. Nothing better to do.
That's what he was doing - getting pissed in a tavern he was very fond of.
He sat on his own in a corner, sipping rum quietly, as to be avoided.
She sat on a large table, most of the people around her with men. Some she flirted with, others she warned off.
"Another round?" She shouted, stepping off her stool.
"Aye aye!" Answered the men in unison.
''Be back in a minute you scabbarious dogs!"
She walked more to the bar, but as she did so Jack got up from his seat and approached her.
"Charlotte?" He mumbled, incase his eyes deceived what seemed his beautiful Charlotte.
Charlotte dropped the jugs she was carrying.
"Jack! It's been too long, too long Jack."
"So ye became a pirate after all then lass." Jack smirked.
"Less talk, more..action" She groaned and she jumped on Jack. He grabbed her legs and swung them around his waist and held on to her bottom. He walked out of the tavern with her placing kisses all over his neck.
"We'll be at me Ship in a minute luv" He managed to speak out.
Flashback end.
So that's were I met ye again. Ye told me tha' your parents died soon afta' and ye took a Ship to places ye always wanted to visit. Singapore being one them, surprised ye didn't meet me there! But ye eventually took ye crew to Tortuga for a bit."
Charlotte didn't reply, she just raised an eyebrow.
"Does any of this make your regain any past memories, even the slightest?" Jack asked, not wanting to know the answer for he already knew it.
"None at all. I'm so sorry Mr. Sparrow, you're wasting your time. I better leave, Porter will be -"
"Porter is a liar! A son of a bitch! He must of done this ta' ye, don't ye get it?!" Jack shouted, he grimaced after he saw Charlotte's frightened face.
"I'm sorry Lottie, I just got to tell ye why he did this to ye. It all began when.."
TBC.
