My sequel to In Your Eyes, I might as well get on with it seeing as I'm not doing nothing! Four years have passed, so Edward is 6 and Lucy is 4, James has been missing for four years, going into DMC and Isabelle can't and won't move on! Includes new characters of mine so be warned, and enjoy.
"I always love you, and I will return" Isabelle murmured, recieting the words her beloved Commodore had said on this very day four years ago.
"Where are you, my love?" Isabelle looked up, tears making her pale green eyes shine.
But there was no reply.
Isabelle closed her eyes so tightly tears began to appear on her cheeks.
"CHARGE!" she heard a cry from downstairs.
She walked onto the balcony and looked into the garden below.
The sight that greeted her was a typical one.
6 year old Edward ran forward on the little white pony he and his sister had affectionatly named Snowy, wielding his play dagger in the air. He made Snowy briskly canter up to Lucy and two of her friends, the daughters of Lietenant Groves, Emma and Caroline.
The three girls scattered, jumping onto chairs, walls and into the arms of the nursemaids.
"I'm Commodore James Norrington!" Edward cried, kicking Snowy so the little pony reared up on his hind legs, hooves flailing in the air.
He kicked Snowy again, and the little pony returned to all fours so quickly Edward lost his stirrups and fell on the neatly trimmed grass. Whilst Snowy trotted off into the shade and began munching the fresh spring roots.
Lucy giggled and said "I don't think Commodore Norrington would have done that!"
Isabelle smiled, the children talked about him often enough, about how they'd like to meet him, but the poor little ones had no idea the great man was their father. When Isabelle had receive the news of her beloveds death, four weeks after he'd set sail after Sparrow, she'd changed her name back to Swann, and her children had grown up believing that their father was a man who's name their mother had forgotten.
Edward picked himself up and dusted himself down. "I wasn't scared!" he stated "Probably the Commodore done it once or twice"
"Not like that though" Lucy said.
"Be quiet" Edward said, covering her mouth with his hand, the blunt dagger to her throat "Or I'll send you to Davy Jones' locker!"
Lucy gave a muffled scream and pulled away from her brother.
"Edward!" Isabelle cried, Edward looked up at his mother with enquiring eyes
"Stop frightening your sister like that!" Isabelle told him.
"Yes, Mother!" Edward replied, bowing at her.
He ran off to remount Snowy, whilst the girls once again began playing tea party.
Isabelle slowly sank to he ground, knees pulled up to her chin.
"How can I keep it from them, I won't b able to forever, someone's bound to let it slip" she said to herself.
She looked up at the cloudless blue sky "How can I keep you from them, James?"
