Jack rolled his eyes and smiled nervously at Ana.

Sophie came back up to the deck with a necklace around her neck.
She fingered it, and smiled as the wind blew her dress around wildly.

Jack pointed at the neclace.
"Tha' be a pretty little thing."

Sophie snapped back, and looked down at the necklace in her fingers.
She played with the angel design, and it glowed with white light.
"Thanks... it was my mothers. I managed to save it before Barbossa killed her." she said softly, looking up at Sparrow momentarily, attempting a sideways smile.

Sophie nodded a tiny bit.
"Except I failed to save the treasure that I held dearest... and came up with a trinket(sp?) instead." she said, gripping the necklace hard as anger rose up at the thought of not being able to save her mother in time.

Will surfaced from beneath the deck. He overheard Jack's comment and decided to keep his thoughts to himself.

Sophie looked at Sparrow, seeing him in a different way for the first time.
"But you... you were one of his ideal killings. You got away. I could have saved my mother. I know Barbossa better than anyone here, I know he was a bastard... but he wouldn't have been able to stop me if I'd just had enough courage to stand up to him!" she exclaimed, and started to pace, gripping the necklace so hard that the edges cut into her palm, drawing blood.

Sophie let a small snort of laughter escape her throat as she tried to wipe the blood off the necklace with her dress.
"It takes more than luck to marry a man like him... though, I must admit, when I was around two years old, he was my hero." she admitted, almost laughing as the memories came flowing back.
Then one thing caught her attention, and she whipped to look at Jack with wide eyes.
"You knew my mother? You were... you were there when..." she was suddenly at a loss for words, and tears welled up before she could control herself.
"Did you see her die?" she asked, her voice barely audable.

Sophie's shoulders slumped, and she slid to the floor.
"Yes... but don't say that just to help me..." she said, a few tears trickling down her cheeks, abandening her task of cleaning her necklace.

Sophie couldn't keep the shocked look from her face, and sprang to her feet.
"Y-you were... that was you?!" she breathed, recognition in her eyes.
