I was quickly shoved into the Black Pearl's brig with Jack pushed in right behind me. The floor was covered with water, which Jack highly disliked.

"Apparently there's a leak." He said, making the Bo' sun and I roll our eyes. I slumped down to floor, not caring that I was sitting in water; Jack stood and stared at the cell bars, as if they would magically disappear. I heard the Bo' sun leave and it went quiet.

"They can't keep us in here forever..." I sighed out, breaking the silence and putting my head in my hands.

"Well, they won't keep you in here forever." Jack started, giving up on the bar-staring and sinking to the floor, beside me. "For me...I'm not so sure."

"What do you mean they won't keep me in here?"

He sighed and played with his beard a little. "Why do you think I told you not to tell Barbossa your name?" I shrugged and he rolled his eyes. "If I knew who you were, then he would know most definitely know who you are. I saw it in his eyes, he recognized you by your last name and-"

He suddenly stopped, glancing at me to see if I had been paying attention, which I had, and looked away.

"And what?"

It took a moment of pressuring him, but he finally turned back around to look at me, his eyes scanning my face, searching for something unknown to me. It was the first time I had really gotten a good look at him, not as a pirate, but as...a friend, and someone who genuinely wanted to keep me out of danger...sort of. His brown eyes met mine, and a small smile went across his face.

"He recognized you because you look like your mother."

I lost my breath for a moment, and suddenly a thousand questions started to run through my brain. I guess he could tell because his smile went wider.

"You look just like her, except for the eyes; those you got from your father." He said. "You sort of act like her as well, but you mostly act like your father, always doing what's best either for you or for others."

So, my mother gave me more than just a locket when she left me at the orphanage, and it took me more than 17 years and a pirate to help me figure it out. And my father, whoever he was, left me something as well. I felt as though I could cry, but I kept it in.

Jack looked away, probably thinking that I needed some time to myself, but I grabbed his arm and spun him around. "What was her name?"

He looked surprised at my actions, but he hid it well. "Alexandra Liv-" He started to say with a smile, but I cut him off.

"That's her maiden name, I want to know her married name!"

His smile slowly disappeared, and he started to rub the back of his neck uncomfortably. "I'm afraid I can't tell you that, luv."

The happiness I had been feeling towards him disappeared in an instant. "Why not?" I snapped, and he backed up from me a little. "Why can't I know my mother's name? I'm her daughter for God's sake! You're just a random person! I have the right to know!"

A frown crossed his face and I got the feeling that this was about to turn into a screaming match. "I was more than just a random person to your mother." He said calmly, trying to keep his cool.

"It doesn't matter! I'm her family!"

"Well, you wouldn't have been if-" He stopped himself. For a second we stared at each other, he was probably thanking the heavens that I couldn't read minds. But even if I didn't read minds, that didn't stop me from hearing the last words that came out of his mouth.

"What do you mean I wouldn't have been?"

He didn't answer, but got up and moved to the other side of the cell, which didn't make much of a difference since now he was just sitting in front of me instead of beside me. We glared at each other for awhile, silently daring one another to speak.

Why didn't I have the right to know my mother's married name?

I took off the locket from around my neck and absentmindedly started stroking it, wishing now more than ever that I had the key to open it. It's heart-shaped green jade center hardly showed any of my reflection, but enough for me to see that I looked sick, tired, and needed a bath.

Good God, Jack was right. Will and I are turning into more and more of a pirate everyday...

"Did you hear that?" Jack suddenly asked, breaking the silence. He stood up onto his knees and peered out through a small hole in the side of the ship.

"Hear wha-" Then I heard it, Barbossa shouting orders for his crew to fire and then someone else, a woman, distantly yelling the same thing. Before I could even ask Jack who he thought it could be, he tackled me to the floor just as a cannon fired from all around us.

He looked back up at the small hole he had been looking through, which now was a big hole.

"STOP BLOWING HOLES IN MY SHIP!"

"Umm...Jack?"

"What?"

I pointed at the cell door lock, which had been blown apart. He stood up and pushed on the door, having it open. A wide grin spread across his face and he turned to me. "Let's get out of here."
