Thank you for the lovely reviews! Let me respond to some before the chapter starts!
123: Well, hello Emma! I'm glad you like it!
Silkmouse: Thank you and I love your pen name! I like Jack and Angelica too (I also like Jack and Elizabeth).
Rosealyn 'Flinx' Roth: Thank you!
Fifteen years later. . .
"Emma," Angelica entered her daughter's room. "What are you doing?"
"Tessa and I are going to Sophia's house today," Emma answered. "We plan on going shopping later."
"You can't just roam the streets all day," Angelica sat on the bed. "This house will not clean itself."
"We are not roaming the streets, Mom," Emma took a blue and gold dress off a hanger. "It's only shopping."
"Fine," Angelica agreed. "I just don't want you out all night."
"Please, Tessa's coming with us. We'll be home before nine," Emma smiled.
"Alright but be careful," she left the room.
Emma sat down at her table and looked in the mirror. She had a lot of friends in the neighborhood but Tessa Hamilton and Sophia Kingsley were her closest. Emma Teach was known by everyone in Tortuga as Blackbeard's granddaughter. She went shopping with her friends every Friday and went to taverns on Saturdays. Emma knew how to use a sword and was an expert at throwing knives.
She let her hair down from the ponytail before putting on her dress. Emma had not seen her friends since last week so she was excited to see them again.
"I'll get it!" Emma shouted as someone knocked on the door.
"Emma, it's me!" A voice said through the door.
Emma opened the door, "Hi Tessa!"
"Hi!" Tessa grinned. "I saw a new store in town on my way."
"Be careful, girls," Angelica warned them. "Be home by nine."
Emma and Tessa left the house and started walking to visit Sophia.
Back at home. . .
Angelica sighed as Emma left. She knew she couldn't keep her inside all day. Angelica looked around her house. This place really needs to be cleaned, she thought picking up a broom. She swept the floor while humming a song.
Angelica accidentally ran into a book shelf when a small picture fell. She picked it up and realized it was a picture of Jack. Sighing, she put the picture back on the shelf and continued cleaning.
Meanwhile. . .
Tessa knocked on Sophia's door and it immediately opened to see a small red haired girl staring and giggling.
"Sophia isn't here right now," she laughed.
"Juliana, get away from the door!" Sophia exclaimed as she ran up to her younger sister.
"We're going shopping today!" Emma started clapping her hands.
Sophia Kingsley was already dressed in a long sleeved purple and black lace dress and matching choker. Juliana poked her in the stomach as she ran away.
"I'm ready," Sophia tried to smile. "Which store are we going to?"
"I saw this store down the street from Emma's house," Tessa said. "I saw the most beautiful pink dress in the window and I just have to have it!"
Tessa only wears pink. She doesn't even know why. Ever since she was little, her parents dressed her in frilly lace dresses and skirts.
"This is it!" Tessa was so excited. "This is the store!"
"I like that black dress in the window," Sophia said.
"This is going to be fun!" Emma ran into the store.
Don't worry! Emma will meet Jack soon! I have some pictures on my profile so you can see them. I'm sorry if this chapter seems short. It's because I have really bad writer's block right now. Plus, school is coming up, so starting September 1st, I will be updating on Fridays or Saturdays only. Please review! Pretty please?
