I walked along the street and turned a right corner heading for the docks, I knew a ship would be there looking for a crew, I didn't want to stay at Port Royal anymore, not with her there, she had broken my heart, and destroyed our furture, if there ever was one. I sighed as I picked up my feet faster, if I didn't hurry someone else might get the spot. The spot being a Cooper (caretaker for the stock and cargo). It wasn't great and I had better positions in the past, beside much better people. My eyes landing onto the wooden docks, and there was a ship I was going to be with for awhile she wasn't as big as the black pearl...but she would do. After thinking of that my thoughts went to Jack, I missed him so much.
As I walked closer I saw the capitan, a large man, but he seemed to look well enough. So when I came to the egde of the dock I stopped and folded my arms across my chest to seem stronger and braver then I really was inside at the moment, in all truth I was nervous and scared, I wanted to be with Jack, Gibbs and even Cotten any of the old crew would do, but they were far gone from here. I squinted my eyes as the hot sun rays heat my face, I unfolded my arms and raised a hand, trying to get a better look at the rest of this new crew.

Walking along the streets of Port Royal, I felt very crowded and neeed to get out onthe open see. I had heard of a ship casting off and it was looking for a crew. So i figured that i might as well apply for the musicion, so I had my violin in a case. WAlking onto the dock i spotted a fairly tall man, well now a days' everyone is taller than me.
As i approched the tall man i could fel my heard start to spead up. *Whats goign on?* I though to me self *Why is my heart speeding up?* I reached a shaky hand out and lghtly tapped him on the shoulder. "excuse me, sir i was hoping that this would be the ship looking for a crew..." I asked letting my voice trail off.

I keep my hand raised above my eyes staring at the crew, they seemed alright. I felt a slight tap on my shoulder, I paused thinking the worst, was it her, no she was already out and gone from my life. Turning my dark brown eyes landed on a small woman, she appered frail but something about her looked strong. I managed a faint smile, "yes it is, I was thinking of joining myself as a cooper" I paused looking her over, she was fairly attractive, but I forced myself to look away.
I turned back to look at one crew member who made his way off the ship, he was transporting a wooden crate. I outstreched my hand "excuse me but I heard your looknig for a few crew members, me and this lady here" I turned slightly and looked over to the small woman, pointing to her, the man looked us over "you'll do, welcome aboard The Scorpion" his breathe smelled vile, I raised my eyebrows and looked downwards. I watched as the man turned to leave, then directed my gaze back to the young girl.
"I'm Will Turner" I said extending my hand, hoping she'd take it "I hope we get along well, and I'll try my best to look out for you on our new home" I said offering a small laugh and grin. I then proceded up the plank, glancing over my shoulder to see if the girl fallowed, I didn't have any belongings with me, I had no need for them anymore.

I smiled at William and shook his hand. He had a firm and grip his skin felt warm I let out a small sigh and his warmth transfreed into my body. "Hello I'm Anne Jack Marlow" I said, my voice was soft and sweet. "thank you so much, I'll look out fot you too" I said as I walked after him who was already up aboard the ship. As I walked up the plank. I finaly caught up to Will, clutching to my violin case.
Being a small woman as I was, I felt slightly overpowered and moved closer to Will, grabing a small peice of his sleeve. Feeling slightly bit scared and moved slightly behind William, this wasn't like any of the adventures that I had had with my father. But non the less I will try. Though now I could most certinly tell that I was developing feelings for William. But the question was, would will feel the same. For now I will keep in silence.

I walked up the plankI heard the sound of my boots, and Anne's. I was about to say something to one crew member who stared at me funny till I felt something tug at my sleeve. I glanced over my shoulder and gave a smirk, she was so small. I slowed down my walking as we neared the deck, when we reached it I stepped first, Anne's hand still tugging at my sleeve.
I sighed in a frustrated matter as a few men walked past me, then stopped "what that you've got there?" they said pointing behind me, I raised an eyebrow and then relized they were looking to Anne. I looked over my shoulder, then sidestepped causing Anne to let go of my sleeve, I eyed the three men then boldly took Anne's wrist pulling her abit closer to myself "this is a friend...her and I just joined your crew" the men snorted and laughed "you and her bahhh!" one said and waved his hand "you'll never prove yourself on the Scorpion boy" I watched as they walked away soon after that comment.
I gave a sigh of relief and looked to Anne, letting go of her wrist "sorry about that, I didn't really know what I was thinking, spur of the moment thing, I told you I'd watch out for you, and I always go by my word" I said giving her a warm smile, I then walked over to the railing and leaned forward on it, looking over to Anne who still stood in the spot, the wind picked up and moved my hair into my face, I smiled at her again than gave a grin looking away and downwards from her.

I felt my cheaks get hot when will told me that he always keeps his word and when he had grabbed on to his wrist. "Thank you Will" she said smiling. I followed Will to the railing and placed my arm on it so I was sideways looking at Will. I smilled and looked out on to the vast sea.
Anne could feel her attraction for Will growing with every passing moment. Anne shook her head. I looked over to where will and i had jsut entered form. " It loos like they are almost finished with the re-stocking of the boat"I said looking back over the railing and off into the now setting sun. "should we report to the captian?" I asked not really sure what to do.

I turned my head to the side to look at Anne when she spoke, I nodded and looked to the docks, the men had just finished stocking everything aboard. We'd be off soon and I felt a pit in my stomach when I thought of leaving Port Royal again, but maybe out on the sea, I'd see Jack and the old crew again. I felt like telling Anne about Jack and the rest, wonderful people they were, wait I relized Anne's middle name was a man's name, Jack's name!. I turned to look at her again "did you say your middle name was Jack...after Jack Sparrow" I held my breathe for a second.
I waited for her anwser, as I heard the crow's nest man yell "setting off!" I looked away from Anne for a moment up to the crow's nest, I felt my mouth pull back into a faint smile, I was going out onto the sea again, like my father, like I'd always thought.

I smilled and nodded. "Yes my father named me after Jack Sparrow, he and Jack were mates, I hope to one day meet him. He sounds like a great pirate" I said smiling and looking in to Will's eyes.
" You see my father was James Marlow, a pirate that sailed along side Jack Sparrow. They had docked in Port Bomdia, there was a man who had it in for my father and Jack. though i don't know how he knew they had docked in that port. My father and Jack were put in Iorns, and they faced the Gallows, but my father and Jack were thown in the same cell and helped each other escape the same night. and ever sine then they had ben at each others side. My father todl Jack weather he had a boy or Girl he would name them after him his best friend." My eyes began to get a little teary as I spoke and told will the story

I listened to the story intentivly. It was fasinating, to know that even back then Jack had been a good friend to another man like himself, a pirate. I noticed hazel eyes glaze over with tears, my own grew sad and sympathetic. I knew she had gone through alot like myself, I gave a long sigh and leaned against the rail again, and I noticed we were already alittle ways from the docks making are way out towards the sea, I hadn't even felt it, Anne's story must have really taken me for a moment.
I looked over the egde of The Scorpion, water sprayed on my face and I looked away quickly wiping at my now drenched hair and face with my hands "Ah I hate it when that happens" I said and broke into a chuckle, I must have looked like a fool to Anne. " I enjoyed your story, sounds like my own father's, him and Jack were good mates too, Jack is a good man and a great pirate too like you said, I've sailed with him before and he helped me in a time of need too, with a woman....that I use to know" I trailed off and pushed the thoughts of Elizabeth from my mnd, there was no me and her anymore, it was only me.
I looked back to Anne and gave her a bright smile "don't worry you and me will do great on this ship, we'll show them what were made of" I said reasuring her, I hesitated and placed a hand gently on her shoulder and kept the smile on my face.

I blushed as Will placed his hand on myshoulder and gave me that warm smile, I just had to return it. " I wonder where we are going" I asked hoping that Will would have a possible answer. But it really didn't metter where they were going or not, as long as I was with Will.
"What is your story William?" I asked smiling back at Will. I had this great curiosity to know more about him. Even if there was something to do wth a past relationship I didn't care because that was the past and this is the future. I still hoped that Will would or have already developed somesort of feelings towards me.
