Here's the next exciting chapter. Enjoy because there's only an epilogue after this.

Will had never felt his heart beat this fast in his entire life. They both came to a complete standstill when the gunshot went off right ahead of them. It was followed by Eve screaming for her father.

"No," Elizabeth shouted running forward. She stopped at the window and looked inside.

Will was beside her a moment later. Eve was crying over her adoptive father's body and Liam was tied to a chair. Evan still had the smoking pistol in his grasp.

Eve felt numb. She knew that externally she was still in the shop. But internally she felt like she was floating above it all. Nothing really mattered at the moment. Her family was dead and she'd probably never find out now who her real parents were. She felt like an orphan.

"Get up," a far away voice commanded of her.

Eve did as she was asked but kept her eyes trained to the ground.

"Look at me."

Eve wasn't paying this voice any more attention.

"Look at me!"

The girl's head seemed to rise of its own accord. Her eyes blazed with green fire at this man. The man who ruined her life and destroyed her future.

Evan smirked. That smirk turned into a frown a second later when the door burst open and two figures stood in the doorway.

"Leave my children alone," Mrs. Turner's voice said silently through the gloom.

"Mum, Dad," Liam said from the chair.

No one paid him or Eve any attention at the moment. Both sets of eyes were trained on Evan.

"Beautiful Elizabeth. I never thought I'd see you again," Evan quietly said inching forward slightly.

Elizabeth pulled out her sword and Will did a second later. "Let the children go Roberts," he said.

"You must be the husband. You should have heard her that night, begging me to go on."

"Let them go," Elizabeth repeated.

"And why should I?"

Elizabeth came forwards and put her sword to the man's chest. "Because if you even put the slightest hand on my son and daughter then you'll be dead before you even hit the ground," she said through clenched teeth.

Will took a step forward to stand directly in front of Evan and Elizabeth. He looked to Elizabeth and she nodded. Will nodded back, and not a second later punched Evan hard with a powerful right hook.

While he held Evan on the ground, Elizabeth quickly untied her son and the boy hugged her around the neck before standing on his own two feet while rubbing his wrists.

"Go outside now," she said "and take your sister with you."

Not stopping for a moment to consider what she meant by Eve being his 'sister', Liam grabbed the girl's hand and dragged her outside.

Will and Evan rolled on the ground banging into things on the process. Will punched the man again a few times before Elizabeth came over to stop him. He stood up while Evan remained on the ground continuing to grin.

"She squealed like a pig that night," the man said with a laugh as blood continued gushing from his mouth and nose.

"You bastard," Will said lunging at the man again but Elizabeth held him back.

"Don't give into him. Don't listen to a word he says because you know it's not the truth."

"But this man hurt you. He raped you."

"And the bastard also blessed me with a beautiful daughter."

"The green eyed brat is mine," Evan said slowly standing up.

Elizabeth turned and before any of them knew it; her sword was hanging out of his stomach. She leaned close to his ear. "And you will never get to see or be anywhere near her again if I have anything to do with it."

The man collapsed, dead before he even reached the ground.

Some officers, having heard the commotion, came to investigate. "What happened here son?" one asked.

"A crazy man kidnapped me and my friend. He killed my friend's father and..."

"He wasn't my father," Eve said in a low voice. "Peter and Rebecca Thomas weren't my parents."

All was silent until they heard footsteps. Everyone looked to see that Elizabeth was bringing a banged up Will outside.

"Inside you'll find two bodies. Peter Thomas and Evan Roberts," Elizabeth said.

"He's gone," Liam asked.

"And he's never coming near our family again," Elizabeth finished.

Liam ran into his parent's arms and Eve just stayed where she was. She was, but of course, a bit jealous of Liam. He had his family; where was hers?

Will noticed and looked to his wife. "She has to find out Elizabeth," he whispered.

"Find out what?" Liam asked looking at Eve.

No one answered him. Elizabeth let go of her son and went over to her daughter. Her precious little girl. "Eve," she whispered putting her hands on the girl's shoulders. She looked up with hopeful green eyes. "We need to have a long talk."

After telling the officers that they'd come back tomorrow to give the details, the Turner family was sitting around the table each with a cup of tea in front of them.

"Eve, lies have been told to you your entire life. Lies that were difficult for your parents to keep but they kept you safe. The Thomas' weren't your biological parents," Will started.

"I know," Eve said before she was interrupted by Elizabeth.

She took out an old letter and began to read it to everyone around the table. She read the whole thing from beginning to end. This was the right thing to do. It was best not to sugar coat anything, no matter how horrible the truth was."Eve, I wrote this letter. I'm your mother," Elizabeth said with a slight grin but tears were visible in her eyes.

All was silent around the table.

"Yo-you're my mother. The Pirate King is my mother."

"Yes," Elizabeth said looking to Will who nodded.

This was the right thing to do; even after all she'd been through today.

"But you're not my father. I'm only seven and as Liam told me you were Captain of the Flying Dutchman. He only met you a year ago. Plus you're too nice to ra-rape Eliz-Mommy. You're too nice," she said to Will.

"No, Will isn't your father. He can be the father you need though," Elizabeth said placing her hand on top of his.

"The bad man was my father, wasn't he," Eve said quietly.

It hurt Elizabeth to do so but she nodded all the same.

"So...I have a sister," Liam asked.

"That's right," Will said.

"Great," he said much like his father when he was getting married many moons ago.

"What do you say Eve? Do you want to officially become a Turner?" he asked. She was feeling a bit conflicted.

"What about the Thomas'?" she asked.

"I believe they would want you to be happy."

Eve thought about it for a moment before finally nodding. "Then I'll do it. I'll become a Turner."

Will and Elizabeth both went over and gave Eve a big hug and Liam a few seconds later. This was the image of the perfect family. After all the hardships and bad things throughout all their lives, love is what keeps a family together.

There will be a small epilogue up in a few days. I've been picturing Will punching him from chapter 1. Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Since I killed Eve's adoptive parents, I figured that Evan didn't deserve to live while they didn't. I hope you enjoyed the story and best wishes to you in the future.
