A/N We left it in a bit of a cliffhanger, didn't we?! Elizabeth and the kids have been kidnapped and Will is oblivious to that. Who kidnapped Elizabeth and the children? And why? Here comes Chapter 12 of A Paradise Lost-!!
Chapter 12: Devil Reincarnate
"Anna, she's waking up" Jack took the cold flannel off Elizabeth's forehead and stepped back to examine her.
"W-what happened to me?" Elizabeth pulled herself up wearily, clutching her head with the cool flannel Jack had given her.
"You weren't waking up, you hit your head" Rhianna was in a fit of tears, Elizabeth sat beside her, rocking her shivering body back and forth.
"Don't worry, we're getting out of here" Elizabeth took out one of her hair grips and waddled to the door, she bit her lip as she failed to unlock it.
A quiet shriek echoed through the brig as Elizabeth pushed the rotting door and ushered her children out.
"This way, I'll go first, Jack hold your sister's hand and don't let go" Elizabeth grabbed his other hand and walked cautiously up the stairs, not wanting to draw attention to herself.
"What do we have here? Mrs Turner, you've woken up, I see" A tall, rotund man stepped out in front of their exit, snarling like a hyena.
"You foul-mouthed ignoramus! You are the devil reincarnate!" Elizabeth hissed, baring her teeth.
"We thought you were going to say that" A tall, lanky man crept up behind them, sharpening his dagger with a dirty flannel.
"Let us go! I'm nine months pregnant and my children, they need water and food" Elizabeth ran for her children and hugged them tightly.
"Where's the absentee father, Mrs Turner?" the corpulent, dirty man marched up closer towards Elizabeth.
"None of your business, you great oaf" Jack glared at the smelly man the best he could.
"Y-you smelly man" Rhianna pouted angrily and stood on his bare foot, making him howl uncontrollably.
"Like mother, like daughter" Elizabeth pulled out one of her opponent's swords and began swinging her above her head wildly.
"Run to the boat, you two" Elizabeth stepped back cautiously as she was met by three muscly men swinging their swords at her.
Elizabeth jumped into the waiting boat and lowered them down slowly. "Take that oar and give it to me" She groaned as she pushed down hard on the oar.
Meanwhile back in Port Royal...
Will darted down the incline, his angst increasing for the loss of his darling wife and children. "Jack Sparrow!" Will ran through the alleys of Port Royal, beads of sweat trickling down his face.
"Giselle, it doesn't make you look fat, savvy" Will turned the corner cautiously, unaware of what was waiting for him.
Jack stood in shock, clutching his cheek, which started to redden. His eyes sparked as he clapped eyes on his old friend. "Will, where be your consort?"
"Well that's what I've come to talk to you about. Elizabeth has been kidnapped along with the children. I have come to ask for your help" Will scratched his stubble, tears forming in his reddened eyes.
Jack smiled comfortingly, his golden teeth glinting in the lamplight. "We'll get em back, Will. I give you my word"
Will coughed as Jack breathed on him, he was extremely intoxicated.
"We need our heading" Jack took out his beloved compass and marched swiftly towards the Pearl, her thin, black sails almost translucent in the moonlight.
"I'm going to find you, Elizabeth. If it's the last thing I do" Will pounded his fist down on the wooden guard rail.
Concurrently on the little boat...
"Darlings, wake up. I can see land" Elizabeth nudged the sleeping children excitedly as she began rowing faster towards the lit port.
"Mother, what do we do?" Jack rubbed his eyes wearily and pulled his sister out of the little vessel.
"We need to tie up the boat and...erm...explore the port for any signs of help" Elizabeth knelt down beside Jack as his little fingers intertwined the coarse rope.
"Excuse me, sir. Where are we?" Elizabeth asked a old, decrepit gentleman, who was sat absent-mindedly on a barrel.
"You be in the port of St James, do you need any help finding your way around?" The old man grinned, Elizabeth noticed his rotting teeth and intoxicating breath.
"No thank you" Elizabeth led her children away, explaining to them that that's why they brush their teeth.
Elizabeth and the children returned to their tiny vessel, sorrowful. Elizabeth had wagered them a blanket for the restless journey back to Port Royal.
"There you two, get a good night's sleep" Elizabeth watched as they nestled into the blanket and lay their heads down sleepily.
"Will, I'm lost without you" Elizabeth sobbed as she set a course for home, wishing her husband would be there, waiting for them.
