Chapter 1: Behavior
Kaitlin Turner sat on the dock in a white nightgown, looking out over Port Royal's bay at the sunrise. A tear ran down her face as she kept her eyes on the horizon line. All she could think about was Jack. Though it had been almost five years, she was still in love. Quietly she began to sing:
"It's been a long, long time since I looked
Into the mirror.
I guess that I was blind
Now that my reflections getting clearer.
Now that you're gone things will never be
The same again."
Kaitlin stood up and walked over to a wooden pole. She rested her hands on it and leaned forward, looking down at the water.
"There's not a minute that goes by every
Hour of the day.
You're such a part of me
But I just pulled away.
Well, I'm not the same girl
You used to know.
I wish I said the words I never showed.
I know you had to go away.
I died just a little, and I feel it now
You're the one I need.
I believe that I would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me.
Here with me."
As she looked into the clear Caribbean water, she saw her reflection and even thought that she saw Jack standing beside her. When she actually looked to her left, he sadly wasn't there.
"You know that silence is loud when all
You hear is your heart.
And I wanted so badly just to be a part of
Something strong and true.
But I was scared and left it all behind."
More tears continued to run down her face as she sat back down and stared back at the sunrise, hoping to see the Black Pearl come into view. The bay was empty, except for the ships that surrounded her that belonged to the fleet.
"I know you had to go away.
I died just a little, and I feel it now
You're the one I need.
I believe that I would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me.
Here with me.
And I'm asking
And I'm wanting you to come back to me
Please?"
Kaitlin wiped her tears away from her face and looked down at her hands. She mimicked the way Jack had first touched her hands before he kissed her and smiled, but then realized that it had been almost five years. She couldn't believe that it had been so long.
I will never forget that look upon
You face.
How you turned away and left
Without a trace.
But I understand that you did what you
Had to do.
And I thank you."
"I know you had to go away.
I died just a little, and I feel it now
You're the one I need.
I believe that I would cry just a little
Just to have you back now
Here with me.
Here with me."

Kaitlin's smile faded and she continued to stare at the bay. "Beautiful, isn't it," a voice said as a man sat down beside her. "Oh.hello Commodore."
"Miss Turner, what do you always come out here for? Everyday for the past five years, I've seen you out here."
"Actually, it's been four years, three hundred and sixty-three days.including today, Sir."
"How did you keep track of that?"
"Well, when it's been five years exactly, that marks the anniversary that Jack Sparrow and his father left here."
"His father?"
"Yes.Jack Sparrow is the son of Captain Jack Sparrow."
"You know that for a fact, Miss?"
"Yes.as a matter of fact I do. The Captain is quite the charmer and his son.well.I love-" She stopped speaking and stood up. Kate gave Norrington a glare and dove into the bay. "MISS TURNER!" The entire navy heard Norrington yell and ran onto the dock. "Hold my stuff," he said as he handed Gillette his coat and sword. He then dove into the water after Kaitlin. He hit the cold water hard and opened his eyes. Kaitlin was nowhere under the water. He surfaced and looked around. "KAITLIN, WHERE ARE YOU?!"
"Ahem," he heard a woman say as he looked back at the dock. Kaitlin was standing up there with her arms crossed and a smirk on her face. "How did you-?"
"Commodore, I spent quite a while with pirates.I think I know how to swim," Kaitlin replied as she stormed away from the docks and back to her home. When she got there, her father was waiting on the front steps. "Hello.where have you been?"
"Down by the docks.like I always am. Why?"
"You're late for breakfast again. Your mother will not be pleased."
"I don't care! I hate being here.even though this is where I belong!"
"Watch your tone, Kaitlin!" She looked at her father and stormed into the house, slamming the doors behind her. Elizabeth watched her daughter run up the stairs and up to her room. She then looked at the front doors and went outside to find her husband sitting on the steps. "Will, what happened? Where was she?"
"Down by the docks.where else?"
"Have you talked to her about her behavior?" Elizabeth said as she sat down beside Will and rested her head on his shoulder.
"No.but I know why she goes there."
"Why?"
"Our daughter fell in love with Jack's son. She fell for a pirate of all things, when there are plenty of suitable men here. She's twenty-one years old.she should be thinking about her future."
"So.she fell in love with a pirate and he had to leave?"
"That's right, my love."
"There is nothing wrong with falling for a pirate.after all.I fell for you."
"Please.don't go there. We need to figure out what we should do for her."
"Why don't we try to fix her up with a man in this town? There has to be a man somewhere who would love a nice woman like she has become."
"Brilliant.that's perfect. I'll go to Norrington and see if there are any suitable soldiers for her this afternoon. At dinner, she can meet him and love can take its course."
