I walked into my room in dry clothing, fiddling with the medallion around my neck. I heard a light tap on the door, and Elizabeth walked in. She seemed quite calm for someone who'd been threatened by a dangerous pirate. She smiled weakly and helped me brush out my hair.

"Are you alright, Lizzie?" I asked as she busied herself, running the brush through my thick brown locks.

She immediately stopped, "I said I was fine, Autymn."

She continued brushing, and I fiddled with the trinket again, "Do you feel bad that we took this from Will?"

She paused, "Yes. But we did the right thing."

"I know. I just… It seems like we shouldn't be wearing it. That Sparrow seemed very interested in it and he asked where I got it"

"He's a pirate, Autymn. Of course he was interested in it."

I shook my head slowly, "There was something in the way he looked at it. The change in his eyes… Like he knew what it was…"

My thoughts were cut by a sharp yank as my sister found a tangle, "Ow!"

"Sorry," she said, but she didn't sound sorry, "And if it bothers you so much, I'll just wear it."

She paused so I could unfasten the chain and place it into her palm. She then put it on herself, and stroked the detail.

"It is a beautiful medallion though," I mused aloud.

Her voice was soft and dreamy, "It really is." She stopped herself and went back to brushing.

"Elizabeth dear, I think you got all the tangles out."

She seemed embarrassed and stopped immediately, "You're probably right."

I watched her look out the window, and I noticed it too; the wind was picking up at a fast rate. We exchanged glances at this strangeness.

"Looks like a storm's a-brewing'," I said in my best pirate voice with a wink.

Elizabeth laughed, her eyes finally matching her smile. I loved my little sister so much. She was wasn't just family, she was my best friend. We turned to see Estrella at the door and we invited her to join us. She sat in a chair with a pleasant smile.

"I just got word that the pirate is now behind bars," she announced.

"And good riddance," I muttered, still angry with what he'd done to my sister.

A different sound of the wind erupted, and I had a strange feeling inside. I suddenly felt uneasy and desired to see Father. I stood up from my seat and put on my coats.

"Autymn?" Elizabeth looked at me worriedly, "What's wrong?"

It was probably nothing, but I had to be prepared. I didn't want to worry her…

"I'll be back soon, I'm going for a walk," I turned to Estrella, "Will you please help Elizabeth into bed?"

"Yes, Ma'am," she nodded, noticing the sudden change in my mood and tone.

I nodded curtly before heading out. Something was amiss here…
