Okay, this took me a while to post and I'm sorry to everyone who was waiting, if anyone was. I'm writing a real story so this one has and most likely will be throw to the side again. I just thought you guys would enjoy one more chapter. :)

John(nny)'s POV

I watched my father pace back and forth, his black braided hair swung every time he turned to fast. His eye's flashed to the door nearly every five seconds. I continued to sharpen my sword as we both waited for my sister, Raven, to come and join us. Her clueless husband had come in to joyfully tell us that she would be here momentarily. Hmm. At least he was sorta harmless. He might even help us if we asked. Ha, like he would betray his family. Nearly ten minutes passed before Raven walked in, her dress was the color of dark red wine and in a french style, her dark black hair hung lose around her shoulder and down to her waist. When she looked up to see if the room was clear I noticed that her eye's where round with swirling emotions. She shut the door behind her in a hurry.

"Ray?" I asked, slipping my newly sharpened sword into it sheath. I got up to walk to her but my father beat me there. I watched him pull her into to him and hold her close.

"Why in the world did you just leave?" I heard him whisper gruffly.

"Because you never would have let me go after Johnny." She whispered back, tears thick in her voice. "Not matter what, I will never regret leaving The Pearl to find him." Raven pulled away from our father and rushed over to me. "He's my brother, and I need him in my life," She turned her head to look directly into our father's brown eyes. "Just like I need you."

"Ugh." Jack looked at me. "I'm not blaming your brother. I blame Victor's." His eye's narrowed. "And I'm not too happy with Victor himself."

"Its not like he knew." I muttered.

"But he believed that I would've killed him-"

"Daddy, you would've!" Raven said suddenly. "And I'm afraid that your going to do it anyway."

"Why?" My father and I chorused.

"Because...I-I-I..." She broke off and cried.

I glanced at Jack and then looked back down at her. "Your pregnant." I muttered. Raven nodded her head and sobbed louder. Jack cussed out loud.

"We need to get her off this boat now!" He hissed, throwing the door open and pulling out his sword and gun. He ran up the stairs to the deck leaving my sister and I watching after him. Raven looked up at me with amusment in her eye's as the tears dried.

"That was abrupt." She whispered weakly.

"Does he always just jump into things?" I asked as I pulled out my pistol and pulled her up the stairs.

"No," She said smiling at me. "There is a rare occasion where he plans one thing."

"Yeah? Whens that?" I asked as we got to the deck, watching men fall, and blood drip into puddles as pirate's from both ships shot and swiped at each other.

"When I'm in danger."

"Let me guess." I said shooting down two men who where in my way. "It entails getting you away unharmed...and that's it?"

"Pretty much." She whispered. I grabbed a swinging rope, knocked the man on it off, and began to sweep Raven into my arms to swing her across.

"Stop there coward!" A voice rang out. I turned, with my sister in my arms, and looked to see who dared call me a coward. It was Brendan, but it wasn't me who he was calling a coward. It was my father who was heading over to help. Jack looked back.

"Who? Me?" Jack asked his face a blank. "What makes you think that?"

"Just old tale's." Brendan sneered, his eye's narrowed.

"Ah, well, you shouldn't believe everything you hear mate." Jack said lunging forward, he cut the flask from Brendan's belt. "And I have better aim after I have a bottle of rum." Jack smiled, flashing his golden teeth.

I let go of Raven and turned to look for someone I could trust to take Raven across to the other boat. I spotted Victor rushing over to us, his eye's wide with fear. I looked him up and down as if sizing him up would help me.

"Can I help?" He panted his sword in his hands.

"Can I trust you?" I fired back.

"Johnny, he's done this before." I looked down at Raven shocked. I had nearly forgotten she was there.

"Okay," I looked back at Victor. "If anything bad happens, I will slice you so thin that you wont even be fit for crepes. Got that?"

Victor nodded and took Raven into his arms, grabbed the rope and swung across. I turn and jumped in the middle of Jack and Brendan with my sword drawn.

"I hope you don't mind, but I haven't been able to dance yet." I said loudly to my father.

"Ah, well I don't object to you cutting in, but you might want to ask my dance partner." Jack replied.

"Awe, how sweet." Brendan snarled. "I believe you think that as witty, I feel that Sonny's trying to save Daddy from a humiliating death."

"At least I would." I shot back angrily. "Or, is it just because your afraid of heights that you left your Daddy hanging off of that cliff?"

"Shut up, you mangy little bastard!" Brendan shouted his eye's flashing. "Your mother is nothing but a whore!"

Suddenly all I could see was red and all I wanted to do was feel the blade of my sword bite into his flesh, hear it slice his skin, and watch his blood pool on the deck and run into ocean. I whipped my sword so that it caught his arm and ripped the shirt leaving a cut that oozed blood. Brendan glanced at his arm in alarm and shock.

"What?" I snarled. "You think my whore of a mother would let me go with no way to defend my self? Or did you think that being a bastard meant that I couldn't hurt you?"

Brendan never got a chance to answer, all of a sudden his sister, Gail, jumped at me with a sword in her hands and was swinging it at me. Without thinking I raised my sword to stop her and watched it sink deep into her belly. Her blood sprayed the deck and my clothes and her sword hit the deck with a clank that no one but Brendan, my father, and myself. No one else heard it because her earsplitting scream echoed between the two then fell backwards off of my sword and hit the deck with a sickening thud. Brendan kneeled at her side and lifted her head and placed it on his lap as his sister's life blood pumped out of her body.

"I-I..." The girl tried to speak but the pain that clouded around her made it hard. "I don't wan't-t-t f-f-f-igh-htin-n-ng-g."

"Shhh, sister." Brendan whispered to her. "I will avenge you."

"I-I-I," She gasped. "D-d-don-n-n't wan-n-n-n-n-n't-t-t-t-t you-u-u-u t-t-t-t-t..."

But as she tried to speak her eye's dulled and her head slunk to the side. She was dead.

"NOOOOOOO!" Brendan shouted bowing his head.

"Um," I glanced at my father who was standing just next to me with his hand on my shoulder. "I think that we should get you out of here."

"Oh, uh, yeah. That would be a good idea." I followed my father as fast as I could to the edge of the ship. I grabbed one the rope's that had been thrown over and swung onto The Black Pearl. My sister was staring at me open mouthed and Victor was standing still next to her with nearly a dozen men holding on to him. I looked at both of them, thinking about what to say. The only thing I could think of came out of my mouth. "I'm sorry, it was an accident."

Victor just shot me a cold look and pulled away from the men. He stomped off to the other side of the ship in a huff. Raven on the other hand hurled herself at me and wrapped her arms around my waist.

"I'm just so glad your okay! I thought they where going to kill you." She sobbed into my blood splattered shirt. She hugged me tighter. "I'm so glad you went back to help Daddy! She was aiming for him."

"Yes, you saved my life.." Jack looked me strait in the eye, with the same slight sadness. "Well done, Son."
