Never alone

Feb 01, 2006 12:34

When in your life did you know you were not alone?

I've been alone for most of my life. I hardly knew my father, and my mother died when I was still just a lad. I came to Jamaica on my own, and when our ship was attacked by pirates, I nearly drowned in the sea. But Elizabeth saved me that day, and from the moment I opened my eyes and saw her looking down at me, telling me she was going to take care of me, I felt like I would never be alone again.

But I was, in a way. For years after that, I lived and worked alone. I didn't mind it so much. It gave me time to perfect my craft, and to practice with the swords I made. So I could avenge my father's death one day, by killing any pirate I had the misfortune of meeting. Only when that day came, I couldn't kill him. And soon after, I was fighting alongside him, calling him my friend.

The day I stood between Jack and the Royal Navy, and Elizabeth stood at my side... that is the day I knew for certain that I would never again be alone.
