The wind sent shivers down my spine as I laid in bed alone once more as I had the past almost 30 years. William was now married and Kiera was off somewhere looking for some adventure. She's only met Will once and it breaks my heart because she hardly remembers. Of corse Will and I both being pirates our children followed our footsteps. I feel lonely I have to say. I'm too old to have anymore children and William and Kiera can take care of themselves so I now spend my days longing for something.

"Ah Tortuga, the most disgusting port in the Caribbean" I gladly walked into the Faithful bride along with my crew and sat down. "The usual" I spat. "Captain Turner! It's not ladylike to demand" I turned facing the unusual pirate. "Uncle Jack!" I explained throwing my body into his embrace. "Yes luv, that be me" he smiled toothily throwing up his bottle of rum. "What are ye doing in Tortuga lass?" He gulped. "Just stopping by for a drink" I shrugged. "So where'd your mother be hmm?" "She's back at Shipwreck cove doing king of Pirate things I guess?" I took a big swing of rum and slammed in back onto the table.
"She should thank me for that position" he grinned. "She already has" I chuckled. "So do you seek adventure?" He asked. "It depends will it be crazy?" I asked. "What is your definition of crazy?" "I'm in, what do you want now uncle Jack?" "I'm going to the fountain of youth" he smiled. "Again? Aren't you already immortal?"
"The answer is why aren't you?" "Ugg Jack you make no sense" he swung the bottle up to his mouth without a drop of it hitting his tongue. "Why is the rum always gone" he pouted. "Aye boy! Another rum" he sang as the man handed him a new bottle. "Okay Kiera I plan on bringing your father back" he grinned then drank his rum.
"My father? He's coming back in almost a years time" "yes that be true but I mean forever" he continued. "Shouldn't you be asking my mother about all this?" "Ah yes Lizzie, but your the living picture of her so I assumed you were her until you called me Uncle Jack ye hear?" He shrugged. "I see so is our heading Shipwreck cove?" I asked. "Nah" "what! Then why isn't my mother coming along?" "Lizzie is.." I cut him off "my mother is coming" "your just as stubborn as her" "so I've been told" I rolled my eyes and yelled for my crew. "Crew we have a heading! Shipwreck cove. We set sail in an hour!" I explained then returned to Jack.
"So will we meet you there?" "Ah yes but you see i need my pearl." "Barrbossa" I mumbled slapping my head. "I don't even need an answer, come on" I rolled my eyes grabbing the bottle out of Jacks hand. "You shouldn't be needing this." "Aye that's mine!" He shouted running out of the Faithful Bride.

"So Lizzie are you in?" Jack asked. "Of corse!" I shouted. "When do we set sail?" "Supposedly tonight?" Kiera explained "but it's up to you". I reached over and hugged my not so little girl. "You have turned into a good pirate" I whispered. She grinned in reply and let go. "Shall we ask dear William?" Kiera mocked. "Isn't he in Shipwreck Cove with his lass?" Jack asked slouching.
"That would be correct" I answered. "Well it's about time I meet my nephew!" Kiera shouted and ran out the door. "William has a son?" Jack raised an eyebrow, "aye, and a daughter Victoria. that boy has grown up so fast" I smiled. "Wow Liz,were old" I laughed and patted Jack on the back. "Your immortal, just wait" I winked. "What's going to happen ye know, when dearly beloved is all young and your around the age of 80?" Jack shrugged. I eyed him, he did not just go there. But I haven't thought about that. "Sorry" he threw his hands up in defense. "Your lucky I don't have a sword" I demanded and existed the room.

I knocked on the door to Williams house. The Turner family had a strong name to it now. A lot to live up to if I might add. Our father was the captain of the Flying Dutchmen, our mother was nine of the pirate lords and the pirate King, William was captain of his own ship the Nightflyer and I was Captain of the Empress. I had taken over for my mother just months ago. There were four Captain Turners, and quite good at the job I might say.
William's wife Sarah opened the door with my nephew Aaron in her arms. "Good afternoon Kiera" she smiled. "Good day Sarah is William here?" I asked looking into the house. "I'm afraid not but he'll be returning later tonight from his last voyage I assume" she reassured. "I'll tell him you stopped by" she smiled and closed the door. Sarah was a weird lady... But I could see why my brother liked her, she was just like him.
I knocked on the door again and Sarah opened it once more partially annoyed. "Yes?" She moaned faking a smile. "May I met my nephew?" I moved my eyes towards the baby in her hands. "Oh yes of corse! I'm sorry Kiera he's practically had me up all night and I can barely think!" She explained handing him over. "He looks just like his father" I smiled cooing things to the baby in my arms. "Yes you Turners do have good looks" she laughed. "Of corse" I added handing him back. "I must be getting back now but don't forget to inform William and take care!" I shouted as I began to run down the street to the port. "Oh and tell Victoria I said hello!" I laughed
Almost two hours later the Nightflyer came into Dock and Jack, my mother and I awaited.
William got off the ship and greeted each of us. "Uncle Jack what are you doing down here without being called down for a meeting?" William laughed. "Always looking for rum?" I suggested teasing. "Were is me bloody bottle anyway?" He asked searching the port. "Ah I found it!" He yelled moments later. "Dear William you look just like your father" Jack gasped. "Speaking of the whelp we be going to save the boy, you in?"
"Woah wait save?" William asked. "Were going to the fountain of youth to bring father back to us. You see someone will stab his heart and then be granted the punishment of becoming the Dutchmen but Father will immediately drink the water and be granted with immortality. So he will be immortal and still be free from his service. Make sense?" I asked. William looked at me with wide eyes. "I don't think he got it" Jack assumed. "I understand" William finished. "I'm in, so who's stabbing the heart?" He asked.
I clenched my fist, "who is stabbing the heart Jack?" Asked Elizabeth. "I have a lad who is" he reassured. "Then are we leaving tonight?" He asked grinning. "Aye" we replied. "Who's ship?" Asked William. "Do you ever have the answers to questions?" Jack moaned. "Afraid not" he shrugged. "Just like his father" he murmured. "So the pearl, empress or Nightflyer?" William asked again.
"The pearl is not in Jacks passion right now" I moaned. "Barbossa" William and my mother said harmonizing. "So Nightflyer it is!" I shouted "the Empress is taking a break for the week I've decided" I slouched.
