--------------------------------------------------------------Yo Ho Yo Ho A Pirate's Life For Me...--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack and Will walked into the Jrunkman't Tavern and headed for the back table.
"Jack, we can't stay too long, if you said you wanted to try every single Tavern in the area. There are tons around here!" Will explained. Jack sighed.
Why can't the little whelp understand you have to enjoy, and not rush?
Jack didn't realize somone was already at the back table. A girl with shoulder length red/blonde hair was hunched over, alone, at the table.
"What can I do ya for?" The girl asked. When she looked up, Jack noticed she had brown that looked remarkably familliar...
Jack was bored, so he decided to pick on her.
"This is our table, and I advise you to sit somewhere else." Jack said louldly, trying to pretend to be drunk already.
"I advise that you leave, seeing that you already drunk. And this is the table I sit at, and I don't see your name anywhere..." The girl glanced down to the table then back up at Jack. Those eyes gave him chills. "Unless it's James?" She asked.
Close enough, but not quite Jack thought.
"James? I am Captain Jack Sparrow, Captain of the Black Pearl. And I am not drunk!" Jack turned and staggered off to get a drink for him and Will, while Will tried to get the table from the girl. He saw two drinks sitting on the bar, alone, and Jack grabbed them and quickly went back to the table, unseen. He got back just in time to hear her name.
"Rebecca Smith." She looked very uneasy.
Rebecca...that sounds very familliar... Jack sat down right beside her, just to make her even more uncomfortable.
"Rebecca...That's a nice name. I think I have heard it before..." That's when it hit him. The eyes, hair and name all blended into one very familliar person. His daughter. Jack heard her mumble somehting under her breath.
"What did you say luv?" He asked. He didn't even hear her answer.
"So, what do you guys do, when you're not drinking? Do you have a job? Family? " Rebecca asked.
She looks soo much like her mother.
"Well, if you count piracy as having a job, then yes, we do, and I have a wife, Elizabeth. I don't think Jack has any family…" Will motioned to Jack.
"I did have a wife and daughter, but they are dead, so now I don't." Jack mumbled, and then realizing what he said, slapped his hand over his mouth.
What the bloody hell am I doing?!?! He thought.
Jack looked up in time to see Will's surprised face.
"You never told me you were married! Or that you had a daughter! What happened?" He asked. Jack sighed uneasily.
Great job, Jack Sparrow.
"Well, once upon a time, I met someone who I actually loved, we married, had a daughter, then they both were killed by Barbossa. And if you don't know who that is, it doesn't matter to you." Jack concluded, pointing to Rebecca. He turned back to Will. "That was about 15 years ago." Jack decided to stick to the fact that his daughter was dead. There should be alot of 15 year old, red haired, brown-eyed Rebecca Smiths all over the place. Shouldn't there? Jack suddenly realize he didn't know how old this Rebecca was.
"I know very well who he is; he killed my mother, Elenor Smith. So there." Rebecca jutted her chin out. So that's what she got from me...wait, did she just say Elenor?
Jack flipped around and looked quizzically at Rebecca. "Did you say 'Elenor'?" Jack inquired, suddenly very interested. Rebecca nodded.
Alright, this would be too similar, there is one more thing worth asking to prove it...
"How old are you, Rebecca?" Jack asked softly.
"I'm 15…today, actually, I do believe it's my birthday. Wow. Almost forgot again." She mumbled to herself.
Who forgets their own birthday? Besides me?
"Jack, what's going on? I am feeling left out of something." Will said to his friend. Jack wanted to explain to Will, but not in front of Rebecca. He didn't have enough proof to tell her yet. And one question still haunted him.
What if she hates me for leavin'?
"Miss Rebecca, would you care to come back to our ship with us?" Jack asked her. She looked startled.
"Yeah, uhhh, alright. Got nothing better to do." She ran her fingers through her hair.
"Yes, well, I suppose we should get back." Will stood up, as did Jack. Rebecca slid out of the booth, and followed the two.
After traveling through winding streets, they came to a dock, and there sat the Black Pearl.
Will whispered to Jack, "So much for trying every tavern."
"There's more important things going on right now, Will." Will looked at Jack, amazed. When did something come before rum with Jack?
"There she is." Jack stated proudly. He heard Rebecca gasp behind him. He flipped around, and saw her face as white as a ghost.
"What's wrong, luv? You look like you've seen a ghost." Jack asked. She looked on the verge of fainting.
She can't be afraid of pirates, she didn't seem upset when Will told her about us...she's not seasick either, she would have said something. Then, it hit Jack the same time Rebecca said it.
"I do. That was the ship that my mother died on, and me almost with her."
