Jac loved the ship. She loved it. She loved watching the waves, they sat for hours watching the waves crash against the ship. They saw dolphins and whales and sea turtles. Sea turtles.

'you know jac...' kat began. 'when I was with big Jack, he got stranded on an island. All alone. He told me that he spent days there planning his escape... this was before he met me. before he saved me.' she sat on top of the crate Tyrion was in thinking he needed some company, he listened as she told jac the story of how the amazing captain jack sparrow got away.

Many, many years ago.

'Then, on the fourth day, he roped himself a couple of sea turtles, lashed 'em together and made a raft.' Gibbs told trouble excitement filled his voice.

'He roped a couple of sea turtles?' trouble questioned looking to jack he stood proudly, hands on his hips, smiling down at her.

'Aye. Sea turtles.' Gibbs confirmed.

'What did he use for rope?' trouble questioned.

'Human hair. From my back.' Jack told her she made a face of disgust. 'and that how I saved myself from the bloody island.'

********************************

'shut up he did not!' one of the crewman shouted. A few of the crew had come to listen.

'yeah, that's crazy!' another shouted.

'impossible!'

It was in fact a lie. Jack had been on the island for a few days when a ship came along and saved him. It was a hub for rum previously. It was just luck that he survived. Jack had told her this one night after he got very drunk after three whole days in Tortuga. She promised never to tell a soul. That the sea turtles would be the story she told again and again about how the great captain jack sparrow escaped.

'totally possible and it did happen.' Kat told them confidently. She bounced little Jac on her leg. 'your uncle jack was amazing. You are amazing as well little one.' She told her daughter. 'and one of these days jack, big jack is gonna come walking out of the water as if nothing happened and he is gonna love you too! All of them. The black pearl will rise and they will emerge victorious.' She told her. jac laughed and giggled playing with the feathers in kats hair. While she was on the ship she might as well go back to her roots. She wore pants and an off the shoulder top, she wore thick boots and her hair was done up with ribbon and feathers just like before. Once jac had a bit more hair she could add a feather, jac loved the feathers she was always reaching up touching them, petting them.

Kat moved to the edge of the boat and pointed out at the land in the distance.

'you see... we were there and now we are here.... look how far we traveled!' she said to jac. She just giggled and laughed. She was happy child. Always smiling. Always laughing.

'you look like a proper pirate.' Varys told her walking up to her.

'thank you. But I'm not a proper anything anymore. I get to me again. Pirate. Mother. And perhaps I will find a lover when we get to our destination...' she said grinning. Tyrion watched her through the pep hole. Every day she had one sided conversation with him. He was not to be seen or heard until they arrived because he was a wanted man. Not only did he escape his cell after being accused of murdering the king but he killed his father as well.
