I leaned against the railing of the ship and stared down into the water, locket in hand. My mind played over the arguements with my father before I left with Jack and his crew. He was upset to see me go but...what else was I to do? I heard Jack shouting orders and snapped out of my daze, suddenly curious in his in his instructions. Unfortunately, all I heard was "Set sail mates!". I followed him up to the helm and raised my eyebrows.
"Where are we going?" I asked, confused. He gave me his signature grin. "To get me rum."

"SHUT IT!!" I snapped at Marie as she rambled on about how we would one be one go crazed with starvation and slowly think of cannibalistic thoughts on which of the four of us should be eaten first as to not starve of on this god forsaken island. "Your just worried because you know you'd be the first to go" Charlette teased. "Really? Must you?" I sighed rolling my head in her direction. I rubbed the egg on the back of my head were i was hit with an oar. "My head's throbbing enough without the two of you bickering... ugh...where's jonathan?" I looked around for my twin brother and first mate. I had sent him out for a round search of the island to see if anything useful was there. That was early morning and now the sun shone hot and bright over the sea. Where was he?

I rolled my eyes at him as he sauntered off down towards the galley. He searched through the racks for a bottle of rum. There was only one in the whole wall of racks. He pulled it out and uncorked it before looking at me again. "Jack? Why do you stock it on the island? Why not just keep it on the ship?" I asked him as he took a swig. "Because, love. If we kept it on me ship, the crew would get it gone in a month flat. This way we save it for longer." He said, smirking at me.

"Maybe he got lost?" Charlette suggested. "Oh please! Jonathan would never loose his way. He's an amazing tracker!" Maria defended. I smirked a bit. "I'm sure he's just fine. Maybe he's found something useful." "Maybe.." Charlette allowed. "Should we go look for him?" she asked me. "No. I'd rather not loose my whole crew in a day. Lets just wait it out. And keep a look out on the water..." I squinted into the sun and smacked my lips together. They quenched for some good...rum.

After some hours had passed, we could see the island in the distance. I decided I might as well go with them. I was sort of dying to have my feet on land again, even uncivilized land. They got two longboats into the water and I sat in the front with Jack as the men rowed. I was a little surprised that Will was going. Normally he prefered to stay with the ship when Jack went on a rum run. As we got closer to the island, I noticed three people standing there. I also noticed that they were women, probably pirates too. Jack seemed interested immediately.

I focused my eyes in the sunlight and as they were drawn back down the the ocean the sillouette of a ship came into view. "Wha-?" I sheilded my eyes with my hand and took a step forward. "Charlette. Marie. Do you see that there?" Immedietly i could fell the smiles on there faces. "Yes ma'am"

We came ashore and the crew went to the women in awe. No one was expecting to find people here. Especially three decent looking women. I followed, not nearly as excited, but curious to hear their story. "Ello dearies." Jack greeted as he wobbled on over to them. I could see the confused and startled looks on their faces. Apparently they didn't expect to see us either. As I came closer I noticed one in particular. I was almost positive I knew her, but at the same time...I'd never seen her before... "What may I inquire...are you doin' 'ere on this island?" He finished with his eyebrows furrowed, creating a line in his forehead. He waved off some of the crewmen to find the rum.

Captain Jack Sparrow, as I recognized the man in front of me, spoke to me and my crew member like wenches, just as i expected. Nothing differant from the infamous sparrow, i thought. Nevertheless they could help. "We had a bit of an incident. My ship was raided, and me and my most loyal companions thrown onto this island to die." I said bluntly, trying to keep a proud tone to my voice. Sparrow snickered. "YOUR ship??" He looked around. "And who do you think you are little missy, a Brooks?" I whipped out my sword and aimed for his neck, even though he was still many feet aways.

I raised my eyebrows at her as she pointed his sword at him. I thought it was a little amusing as I realized who she was. It only took him mentioning her name for me to remember. I knew exactly who she was. I wondered if she remembered me. I stepped forward and placed a hand on a shocked Jack's shoulder. "Jack, please. Be nice or when she decides she wants to kill you, I'll hand you over and steal your ship." He gave me a sarcastic smile. I looked back at the woman with the sword. "Hello. I'm Annabelle Black." I announced in my french accent and clear articulation. "And, you are?"

I eyed the women who was accompanying Sparrow with curiousity. She had a certain air about her that i liked. We could get along i think. And Black... that name meant something to me. But what? "Captain Brooks. Captain of the Seductress." I answered proudly, glancing back and Jack Sparrow I added. "And you would be best not to forget it." He raised an eyebrow, but this time had no sarcastic response now that he knew who I was. "Well, i know you." I said to him, "And you know me... but" I looked back at Annabelle Black. "Black you said? Like...Captain Henry Black?"

I nodded. Well, she remembered Henry. That was a good sign. "Yes. He's my father." I said and the two women that were with her glanced at me, then Brooks, then back to me. I smirked at her. "Do you know him?" Jack looked at me, confused. He knew my backround. Well...half of it anyways. He didn't know I had another sister and a brother some where. I didn't like to bring them up. Mostly because I couldn't remember them....

I stared and Annabelle Black... Anna... my sister in awe. My sister stood right before. My own flesh and blood here on the island with Jack Sparrow! I wanted to badly to smile, to ask her how she was how my family was...but... there was a reason i changed my name to Brooks, and a reason i hadn't talked to them in so long or of them even. Maybe she didn't know... Maybe sparrow didn't know. Then no one had to know. Then she would be safe.. or as safe as i could make my little sister. "Um.. heard of him. Might hive seen him him. Who knows." I lied. Of course i had met up with him a few times. It was a secret of course, to everyone 'cept me, him, and Jonathan. I had made him promise me in blood he would never tell a soul... i guess he kept that promise. But I was dying to know more... Suddenly I heard singing. "YO HO YO HO... A PIRATES LIFE FOR ME!!" i sighed... Jonathan.

I looked to the right and saw a man stumbling forward to us. He was singing and I was pretty sure that was a rum bottle in his hand. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Jack make a face. As the man got closer, Jack pointed his gun at him. He stopped immediately and stared at the gun. It was like he'd just realized that a group of ten men and another woman. He looked over Jack's should and just stared. "I believe tha's mine, mate." Jack said in a threatening voice. He pointed. "Ship." I furrowed my brow and we all glanced at the Black Pearl. "Jade. JADE! I FOUND...iI found us a ship!" He muttered drunkly. I looked back at Jade, who was obviously pretending not to know me. Or...she didn't remember...

I pulled out my pistol in my other hand and pointed it at jack sparrows head. "And I believe tha's my brother... mate" I mocked him. He raised an eyebrow and lowered his gun, then brought it back up to Jon's face. "So... is tha' supposed to mean i'm not to kill 'im then?" He asked sarcastically. I shrugged. "Oh no kill him by all means. Just remember.. we've moved all that rum you came to pick up. Kill him.. and you'll never know where it is.."

I raised my eyebrows in shock and looked at the drunk man. That was my...brother? He was much different than I remembered. Of course, I was only five or so when he left us. He must have met up with Jade shortly after she left too. And now she was captain of a ship--that was no where to be found--and he...had grown up quite a bit. "Jack. It's just rum." I muttered. "And he only has one bottle. The crew will throw you overboard if you come back empty handed." I could feel him stiffen beside me and he lowered his pistol. "Fine. Now, where is it?" He demanded.
