Chapter 3

Julie is sleeping in her bed below the ship when she started having a dream about her life back home at Shipwreck Cove with Jack.



Julie and Jack came back home from the beach when they heard yelling and glasses breaking. Jack grabbed her hand and they ran upstairs to their room. He locked the door and the two siblings sat in the middle of the room hugging each other in fear. Julie became very scared about the fighting so she started crying on Jack's shoulder. He held his traumatized sister in his arms protectively. "Don't worry, everything'll be alright" he said. "I'm scared! I don't want them to hurt us!" she cried. "They won't, I promise" replied Jack. "WHERE'S JACK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" screamed Grandmama. "Go. Hide in the closet" whispered Jack. "No, I'm not gonna let her hurt you!" yelled Julie. "Well, I'm not gonna let her hurt YOU!" yelled Jack back. Julie ran into the closet and shut it tight. She could hear the sound of heavy footsteps and a lock turning. Then, she heard shouting and punches being thrown. "No, Grandmama! Stop it! No! Don't hurt me! Don't hurt me!!!!!!" screamed Jack.












































































































































































"Julie! Julie! JULIE!!!!!!" yelled Jacob as he shook your shoulders to get you to stop choking him. You realized what you were doing and got off him.

"I'm so sorry, Jacob. I don't know what came over me" you apologized. All you remembered from last night is that horrible nightmare.

"Well, whatever it was, I'm glad it's over" said Jacob. You went back to the wheel of the ship and continued your quest to finding Jack.

"Captain, if I may, what did you dream about last night that made you so upset and want to chock me?" asked Jacob. You sighed, it pained you to talk about your family. But you knew that you had to tell someone eventually. You sighed again and ushered Jacob downstairs to talk to him and Wilmer. Soon, you were all sitting on crates in the corner. You sighed once more. Here goes nothing.

"You guys ever heard of Edward Teague?" you asked. They nodded.

"He's my father, and my brother is the infamous pirate Captain Jack Sparrow" you said.

"No way" said Jacob in shock.

"Yes way. Me and Jack come from a family of pirate criminals, and it's not pretty. Everyday is a nightmare, but the two people who make it the worst is my cousin Valerie and Grandmama. Valerie was always yelling at us and saying mean things like how pathetic and stupid and worthless me and Jack are and how we'll never amount to anything. And Grandmama.......she beats him. (Voice breaks) The family was always beating each other up, but Jack got it the worst from her. So, Jack and I...we...we had to look out for each other" you explained. Jacob and Wilmer couldn't believe what they were hearing.

"What did your mother think about this?" asked Jacob in anger.

"Who cares? She abandoned me and Jack after we were born. And, as if that wasn't bad enough, a couple years ago, we learned from Teague that our mother had died. We never knew her, and now we never will" you answered.

"So, w-where's Jack now?" asked Wilmer.

"He ran away when we were 12, we're twins. I stayed behind in the family, and after I could no longer stand another day without Jack, I decided to go out and look for him myself. Then I found you guys and the rest is history" you replied grimly. Jacob and Wilmer hugged you in response.

"We'll find your brother and get him back to you" whispered Jacob in your ear.

"Thank you" you said as tears streamed down your cheeks.
