Lily Pearce has always been in love with James Norrington. From the day that he stole money for her when they were ten, to the day he comforted her when her parents were killed at sea, all the way up to when he was promoted to commodore. But James has always had his heart set on Elizabeth Swann, daughter of the governor. For fourteen years, Lily's love grows stronger along with her pain. Funny, how you underestimate someone when they're always there for you. Disclaimer: I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean. I only own the plot and OCs in this story. *SPOILER* Let's pretend James never died in At World's End, all right? Let's also pretend I didn't cry when James died.

"What concerns did you want to discuss? Or are you just keeping me here to dress me in pretty gowns?" she spoke as she took a sip of the tea. It was bitter and strong. Beckett didn't face her. "The concern I had in mind to discuss is the mark on your arm." he answered." Jade Lockhart is to be hanged for her crimes of piracy. Right before the gallows, the mark of a key on her arm saves her life. She becomes a prisoner of the chairman of the West India Trading Company, Cutler Beckett. A pirate-loathing Lord who's goal is to find the heart of Davy Jones. [COMPLETED] Update: First chapter of Siren, the sequel to Bittersweet is out.
