"Miss Turner, I'm sorry to awaken you from your sleep but there is someone requesting to see you. He says it is urgent. He says he goes by name of Sparrow" a young maid of barely 16 whispered to Elizabeth attempting to wake her.

"Not now, tell him I'll see him in the morn…" Elizabeth began to say before she realized what exactly her maid had said. "Tell him this had better be urgent and if he still persists show him up here" were her only instructions to the maid before she got up and started getting dressed.

Thank heavens that I managed to inherit some of my fathers' items and the servants kept their loyalty. To think that less then half a year ago I was thankful for each day that I survived, at least I have managed to restore some of my life.

Elizabeth thought as she set about getting dressed into some decent although casual day clothesAlthough she could pretend to herself and the rest of the world that she had returned to being a proper lady she couldn't help the ache that she felt when thinking of her past spent with Will and Jack. Even harder to deny was the freedom that she had felt for the first time in her life aboard the Black Pearl and all the other ships she had come to sail with. After all a proper ladies life is bound to rules and regulations not freedom and spur of the moment ideas.

"Hello there Darling" came Jacks voice from just inside the doorway. Caught off guard Elizabeth jumped at his voice as her mind settled on the present instead of the past.

"What are you doing here Jack?" Elizabeth replied. Although she could jump into his arms and beg forgiveness or get him to leave the remains of her house immediately she didn't really want to take either path. In fact as soon as she heard his voice from the darkness of the room she felt a part of her come to life that hadn't in a long time, a part of her that she couldn't quite place.

"Whoever said that I needed a reason to see you Lizzy? Honestly I'm hurt, after 6 months without contact and you automatically assume that I have come her for something. Although… since your asking, I was hoping that you would be willing to sail with me the next time I leave port." Jack replied as he strided out of the shadows to stand next to her.

"Sail with you! Why would I want to do such a thing? I thought we both had enough of each other the last time. Plus I this is my home, not out on the sea with you." Elizabeth said sounding offended although if one were to pay enough attention you could tell that she didn't fully believe what she was saying.

"Don't lie to yourself Lizzy, you can feel the pull of the ocean. I've already told you once, yet I guess I must tell you again. You want it, the freedom, the beauty… all of it yet for some reason you are lying to yourself about that. I promise you Love, the ocean isn't a big bad place only full of scary monsters." Jack said almost pleadingly.

"But I guess you still believe that that is all the ocean is, after all it did take Will from you" he continued attempting to seem sympathetic yet failing

"How dare you talk of Will like that! Just because you are still jealous of him does not give you rights to talk to me, his wife in such a way" Came Lizzies harsh reply as she edged towards sparrow.

"Lizzy, Lizzy… I meant no harm in what I said. I just meant to tell you the truth, you are a pirate and as such you will and do crave the sea and freedom. Don't deny that. I set sail tomorrow night on the Black Pearl, if you do indeed crave more then the lonely life of a noble woman you will appear and leave with me. As for now, I unfortunately must leave you since I heard that there is a wonderful pub in the town square." Came Jacks hushed reply tinged with hope. For a few seconds he just looked into her eyes seeming lost before he left the room and house without as much of another whisper.
