Chapter One

Jackie Turner

Elizabeth Turner is sitting at home waiting for her daughter Jackie to get home. She's late. She's been late a few times lately ,but this time it's been longer than usual. Elizabeth at there twitting her fingers worried. Then she heard something familiar … A song…

"Were devils and black sheep -- Really Bad Eggs." Elizabeth jumped up and ran to the door. "Drink up me hearties yo…" The door opened quickly… "ho…" Eleven year old Jackie stood at the door with dirt on her face. Elizabeth, relieved, crouched down and started to clean her face. As she did so she thought she seen a familiar face, but it was gone as fast as it appeared.

"Mother!!" Jackie tried to get away from her mom.

"Nope, sit still." Elizabeth had a warning look on her face. Still Jackie got away and started for the stairs. "Well wash up and come down for dinner your father will be home shortly." Elizabeth said standing herself up. Where did she learn that song? She asked herself as she dusted off. I know I never taught her. Will doesn't know it either. She started to fix the table. That means it was… The familiar face from earlier flashed through her mind… No why would he be back here, its been years. In fact eleven years… Jackie came down the stairs.

Elizabeth walked up to her, "I thought I said to wash up…" What she saw when she got closer wasn't dirt. Her face saddened. "What happened?" She reached to touch it.

"No! Don't touch it!" Jackie jerked away.

The front door opened. They both looked. Will stood at the door. Jackie got big eyed excited. "Daddy!" She ran up to him. Elizabeth stood up to finish the table. Will picked Jackie up in his arms.

"If it isn't my two favorite ladies in the world." He leaned over to kiss Elizabeth. "How was you day?" He asked as he put Jackie down.

"As well as most." She put a smile on. He knew she was lying. She noticed too. "Lets have dinner shall we." She seated as they both did.

They each took a few bites before getting the conversation started. Will was going to start, then he seen a bruise on Jackie's arm. "Did you get into another fight?" He asked kind of reaching for it. Jackie quickly hid it under the table. Her face lowered to face her food. "What happened?" He also asked with a saddened face. Elizabeth put down her eating utensils and looked at Jackie.

She started to talk. "They called me names. So I fought ." She raised her head a little bit.

"What did they call you?" Elizabeth asked concerned.

"They called me a," she paused for a moment, "Pirate." Will and Elizabeth looked at each other then back at their daughter. "They ganged up on me calling me names and pushing me. On even said I should be hanged." Now she looked at both of them with a kind of smile in her eyes. "Then a man came and stopped them." She said looking at them, both with a worried expression. She added, "Then I came home." She stood up, she looked at her father quickly.

"Wait Jackie…" Will stood up to try and stop her, but she hurried up the stairs.

"It couldn't be, its been eleven years…" Will looked back at Elizabeth who was in her own thoughts.

Meanwhile Jackie was in her room writing in her journal…

Today was a different kind of day. First as I was walking home the other kids, as usual, were calling me names, but today was way different, as I was fighting with the others a man had stopped them. Mom and dad don't know what all happened but Ill tell you. First off this man had really nice eyes, very mysterious eyes. I wonder what he's hiding… Anyway we sat at the docks for awhile, he told me not to let people know I was a pirate because I would be at the gallows in an instant. How would he know, he's not from here. But I told him I wasn't. He looked kind of shocked, probably because of the way I looked. Anyway, he said if I could keep a secret he'll teach me a song. I said sure why not. You know what he told me? He was a pirate. I looked around quickly. He put his finger to his lips in a shush. I nodded my head. Then he taught me the song. Something he learned when he was marooned on an island with a "Bonnie Lass" as he put it. I would love to be with him alone on an island. Mother would have a heart attack if she were. I could picture her burning down the island as a signal for ships. Okay here is the really big secret, he said he was looking for the blacksmith of this town, he said it was personal. I was surprised because my father was the blacksmith. I told him that exactly. His eyes got big as though he'd seen a ghost. Then quickly he stood up and said he'll walk me home. So as I walked I sand the song he taught me about really bad eggs. But when I got to my door he disappeared and as I turned around I seen my mother standing in front of me…
