The next morning I woke up to see Elizabeth missing from our room. I sat up and looked around but she was nonexistent. I went to one of the drawers Elizabeth had left me for and quickly got dressed. I dashed down the stairs to find Elizabeth in the kitchen. Taking a deep breathe I walked to her side wrapping my arms around her waist from behind.
"Well good morning " she giggled continuing her cooking. "Good morning " I whispered kissing her shoulder. "Where's William?" I asked. "He's outside, probably with Captain Teague" she explained.
"Captain Teague?" "Yes, William is very interested with the code and such. He sometimes attends my meetings just for pleasure" she chuckled. Suddenly the door flung open, "mum is breakfast ready?" Asked the boy stepping into the house. "About ready" Elizabeth confirmed. I disbanded from her and helped William set the table as Elizabeth brought the food over.
The breakfast consisted of eggs, sausage, bread, baked beans and mushrooms. A traditional English breakfast. I haven't eaten an actual meal since I left Port Royal to find Jacks compass!
After breakfast William went down to the port as Elizabeth and I finished our discussion from the night before. "Can't we just call Calypso and she just put your heart in herself! Will this is madness!" Elizabeth paced back in forth. "Elizabeth I know what to do" I explained pulling out the knife my father had used to remove my heart. Elizabeth immediately took the knife from me and put it behind her back.
"Will this could really injury you, I can't loose you again. Please" she begged. "We'll find another way, just please hold on. Please"
I looked at my wife as tears began to stream down her now bright red checks. "Okay" I whispered whipping the tears away from her face. "You promise?" "I promise" and we sealed that promise with a kiss.
I stepped outside of the house and looked out at the sea. "Calypso I call upon you" I stated. The clouds began to turn as the sky turned to a grey color. The wind picked up and the ships in the harbor rocked. "William Tur'nah" spoke the goddess.
I opened my eyes to a deserted beach in the middle of know where! "Where am I" I spat. "You are in your subconscious" she explained advancing towards me. "What do ye want Captain Tur'nah" she smiled. "I want to know why my heart hasn't returned to my body! My duty is up" I stated. "Ahh tisk tisk tisk" she pierced her lips. "Your heart William Tur'nah can be put back in but theres dept to be repaid" she grinned.
"I did pay my dept! My duty on the Dutchmen for ten years! You said if Elizabeth stayed Faithful for ten years then I could stay free from my duty. And Elizabeth stayed faithful!" I shouted. "Yes as it would seem, but you still have a touch of destiny" she hummed "not this again" I moaned. "How do I get my heart back in my body"
"You have two options cap'n eitha you cut open your chest and place the heart in, but you might die of loosin too much of he blood once it's restored." "And the other option" "I place it in me self" she grinned. "And?" I questioned. "Elizabeth looses her memory of everything in the past ten years" she explained.
"What kind of bargain is this!" I shouted. "So one I loose my family and the other Elizabeth looses her memory of our son and I and all that's happened!"
"Yes" the goddess smiled. "You sea Witch! Neither are fair!" I spat. "But you see William Tur'nah all you need to do is make her remember, which will it be" she smiled tapping her fingers together.
I looked up at the goddess and she grinned. "I see, it's done" then the fog arose.
