-Victoria-

I was so frustrated with Jacob at what he did, he brought someone that's our enemy, someone who could rat us out to her French father.

"Victoria!" I heard Sparrow's voice echo throughout the sewer. I sighed and turned around to see a shadow of his manly figure running towards me.

"What?" I shouted back at him, he ran up to me and he was now standing in front of me.

"Why you walking away? Everyone's probably wondering where you went." Sparrow told me but I shook my head.

"Why would it matter?" Everyone is enjoying themselves anyway."  I told him.

"Come on." He said grabbing onto my hand.

"Where we going?" I asked him but he continued to pull me along with him.

"We're going up top." He said then holding onto my hand.

"You make it sound like being in the sewers is a bad thing." Sparrow laughed and shook his head.

~~
"Sparrow what are we doing?" I asked as we climbed up a house, Sparrow climbed up onto the roof and then turned around and held a hand out for me to grab. Sparrow pulled me up so I was on the roof.

"I don't know, I just wanted to get out of the sewers." Sparrow said as he then put his arm around me. It was just silent,not an awkward silence, a comfortable silence.

"Why did you defend him?" I asked Sparrow, he sighed.

"Because you and him are family and if it was me and Scar you would've- well not you would've done the same."

"But he did wrong, you knew that and yet you still defended him."

"I know I did but you and him are family and he didn't mean to anger you Victoria, I care about you that's why I thought I did the right thing."

"Sparrow you did do the right thing, I guess I was being very selfish and I was being cautious."  I told him he nodded and kissed my head.

"I told you they'd be here." We heard a voice say making us turn around to see James climbing up the roof and then followed by Liz, Arthur and then Jacob then joined them on the roof.

"Hey guys." Arthur said to us.

"Where's Daniel?" I asked Liz.

"Sleeping. Sapphire and Matthew are watching over him." Liz told me. Then I saw Jacob in the corner of my eye walk over to stand in front of me.

"Victoria listen. I'm sorry for what did." Jacob said.

"No it's my fault, I got at you and it was wrong." I said to him.

"But the reason you shouted at me was because I brought her there and for that I'm sorry." I smiled at him making him smile back.

"Now you two, hug it out." I heard Sparrow say making us both laugh. Then we heard a noice making us turn to look at the place we climbed up. But then we turned around to see the man behind Sparrow and as Sparrow turned around the strange man hit him in the face making him fall onto the fall. 

"Sparrow." I said as the man moved towards us then pulling out a sword from his cloak that covered his whole face. So I kicked my leg down to the back of his leg taking him down to fall beside me and then I pulled my sword out and as the man turned around to face me I pointed the sword at his face.

"Victoria don't kill him." I heard James say.

"Victoria." I heard the man say silently but loud enough for me to hear.  I placed my sword in his hood and then slowly moved the hood off his head and showed his head. When I did that I heard Liz gasp. I look at the mans face and I started to recognise his face.

"Father?" I said as he sat up, I moved away from him so he could stand up. "Father."

"Hello Victoria." It was my father after so long. Then he look behind me. "Hello Liz, Arthur and of course Jacob."

"Hello Edward." Liz and Arthur said.

"There's someone else you would like to see." My father said to me. When we climbed down the house we went round the corner and then entered the front door, we all stood there inside the house.

"Hazel, I have a special guest for you." My father shouted. The house was cosy, it was Christmasy also.

"Who is it?" I heard a woman voice shout from the stairs area.

"Just come up. You'll like this." Then I heard footsteps coming from the staircase coming up from the basement. Then I saw a woman bring up a pie.

"Oh gods, Victoria is that you?" My mother said as she put the pie down quickly, I nodded. She started walking around the table and just pulled me into a hug making me hug her back. "I'm so happy you're back, I've missed you so much."

My mother then pulled out of the hug and look behind me. "Please all of you sit down." Everyone except myself and Sparrow and my father were sitting.

"I'm gonna go outside for bit." Sparrow said. He open the front door and then left closing the door.

"I don't trust him." I heard my father say. "He looks just like his father."

"If you don't trust him just because you see his father in him, just to let you know he did the same he saw you in me and he wanted to kill me, but he didn't because he knew I meant something to him. And I did, so if you're both going to act silly and idiotic with each other then I'll leave." I said to my father. "I'll be right back." I said then I walked out the house and I looked left and right to see where Sparrow would go,then I looked up.

I then climbed up the building and saw him sitting on the edge of the building. "I know what you're thinking." Sparrow said as I sat down next to him.

"You and my father might hate each other but don't do anything harsh." I told him he nodded.

"So why were you named Sparrow?"  I asked him.

"Erm what? How did is that a conversation starter?" I shrugged my shoulders.

"Well my mother use to watch the sparrows go east every winter and when I was born the sparrows were going east so." I nodded, that's quite a good reason. We both looked towards the city, where we could see the clock and other buildings.

"The clock is about to go." I looked at Big Ben in the distance. "Oh be right back." Sparrow then jumped down onto the ground and then grabbed something from the ground and then climbed back up onto the roof. "Merry Christmas." He said and then opened his arms out to have a puppy in his arms.

"Sparrow, wow." He handed me the puppy and he puppy snuggled into me. "Thank you." I said as I kissed his cheek. "But I don't have anything for you." I told him.

"It doesn't matter, being with you for Christmas is a amazing Christmas gift." He said as he leaned in for a kiss.

"I'm so happy I put the mistletoe here." We looked up to see Jacob holding mistletoe over us. "Merry Christmas guys." He said to us.

"Merry Christmas to you too Jacob." I said to him as he then joined us to sit down on the rooftop watching Big Ben go off at twelve.
