A few days later, the Pearl drops anchor in Port Royal's harbor. Several Navy officers meet them at the dock along with the Governor. Jane and William are the first to head down the gangway.
"Jane Hawthorne, you had your aunt in a fit." The Governor said, "You cannot just go gallivanting off after pirates!"
"Sir… I assure you she was kept out of harms way." William lies.
"That may be true, Mr. Turner…" he continues, "But do you know what kind of danger you put yourself in."
"Uncle Henry…" she says quietly, "Rodger's dead."
"What?" he says in shock.
"Captain Dunes killed him…" she answers.
The officers have already gone onboard to get Rodger's body. Brenton, Annabelle, and Edward have now made their way off the ship.
"Child, Captain Dunes is a legend… A story told by sailors to frighten little children." her uncle says, "He doesn't exist."
"Yes, he does and he murdered Rodger…" she yells, "I saw it with my own eyes."
"Jane, I think you've been in the sun to long." Henry says, "The legends of Davy Jones and Captain Dunes are fairytales. Now get in the carriage."
"No!!! Captain Dunes is real and so was Davy Jones." she yells.
"Very well, believe what you want…" he replies frustrated, "Now get in the carriage."
"Uncle…" she says, "I can't."
"What?" he questions.
"I'm getting married." she tells him.
"To whom???" the Governor asks, "This criminal?"
William glances down to his feet.
"Will is not a criminal…" she says smiling, "He's a pirate just like his parents and so I am."
She gets stares from everyone standing on the dock.
"I warned your mother not to marry that man…" Henry says remembering his younger sister, "I told her it would be the death of her and it was."
Tears start to fill Jane's eyes.
"And I am going to tell you the same…" he yells, "If you marry this man it will be the death of you."
"Then it will be the death of me, Uncle." she replies taking William's hand.
"Come home…" Governor Norrington says, "Your aunt will want to your safe."
Jane nods her head, and then kisses William.
"Meet me at our spot tonight at eight." she whispers in his ear.
"Ok." he replies.
She goes over to the carriage and her uncle helps her in. Later that evening, Jane is waiting on the beach where she and William had first met and dubbed their secrete spot. William comes up quietly but stops short. He watches in amazement as his beautiful fiancée walks in the surf, the gentle ocean breeze blows her hair. The sight takes his breath away like the first time he saw her.
"I've never seen you more beautiful." he says.
She turns around and smiles at him. William walks over to where she stands and wraps his muscular arms around her tiny waist.
"Why didn't you tell me about your parents?" he asks.
"Kind of like the way you didn't tell me the truth about yours…" she says smirking.
"Well…" he returns grinning.
"My father was the captain of pirate ship when he met my mother; they fell in love the moment they met. Needless to say, the rest of my family didn't approve. So my mother ran off with him and got married." she told him, "A few days after I was born, I was sent to live with my family to keep me safe."
"What happened to your parents?" William questions.
"I never knew them…" she says with tears in her eyes, "They were killed by Lord Beckett when he took control over Davy Jones."
"I'm so sorry." he says hugging her.
"Dunes needs to pay for what he's done to Rodger." she sobs.
"Don't you think you're being a little rash, Janie?" William asks.
She wipes the tears from her eyes and shakes her head 'no'.
"I promise you that Dunes will pay." William says to her kissing her forehead.
"Will, I wish we were already married." she whispers.
"Why is that?" he whispers back.
"Because I love you so much." she returns still in a whisper.
They kiss passionately.
"I better be getting back…" she says pulling away, "My Aunt and Uncle will be wondering where I am."
"Shall I escort you back then." he says extending his arm to her.
"Who know a Pirate Prince could be such a gentleman." Jane giggles taking his arm.
Together they head back to the Governor's mansion.
