Pulling me aside, Angelica took me in her arms and hugged me.
"Thank you Alex, if it weren't for you I could've possibly lost my daughter."
I hugged her back, and her kind words made me feel a whole lot better.
"Where's Turner?" Hector asked.
"Probably with Elizabeth swapping saliva" I said with anger in my voice.
Jack chuckled and said "You don't need him lass."
"Look there they are!" Said Angelica pointing to the open water.
Taking Hector's spy glass, I could see Will and Elizabeth rowing away from us.
I sighed and realized Jack was right.
I didn't need him, but that didn't stop the pain I felt inside.
But Addie quickly snapped me out of my thoughts when she said, "That's a pretty ring sissy. Where did you get it."
Hearing that caught Hector's attention. Taking my hand, he saw the ring for himself.
"...Where did you get this?" He asked in a serious voice.
I pulled my hand away, "You may not believe me Dad" I said looking down.
"Try me" He said giving me a look that said "Tell me now!"
"A..A mermaid gave it to me." I said hoping he wouldn't get upset.
"Mermaid huh? Ive come across them myself, never heard of one being nice to a human girl before."
"She..she said if we just keep going until we reach some black skull rocks. We'll reach Dead Man's Cove."
Hector nodded and practically ran to the steering wheel if the ship.
"Angelica, keep an eye on the girls. Sparrow prepare the crew! Alex! Swim ahead of us and look for the cove."
Hearing him say that brought a smile to my face. He knew the ring was magical and knew what it was capable of.
Running up to him, I hugged him and kissed his cheek.
"I won't let you down dad."
"Be safe Alex"
I ran to the edge of the ship, waved goodbye to the girls and dived into the water!
Once my Tail grew back, I swam ahead with my sea friends to look for dead mans cove.
A part of me wantes to go after Will and Elizabeth's boat and drown them!
But I knew that wouldn't solve anything.
Putting those murderous thoughts aside, I dived in and out of the water to make it easier to look for my destination.
*Back On The Ship*
"The crew is ready Hector, hope that little mermaid of yours is able to find the cove." Said Jack.
"Oh she will, a mermaid is a very wise creature. And as Wise as my daughter is she'll be just fine."
"Daddy, is the bad man dead?" Addie asked.
Hector took her hand in his. "I'm not sure Addie, but he won't hurt you I promise."
Jack walked away to give Addie and Hector a moment.
He walked over to a sleepy looking Angelica, with Jocelyn still in her arms.
"You looked exhausted love" said Jack.
"I'm fine I'm fine" she said as she struggled to keep her eyes open.
Sitting down, Jack allowed Angelica to lay her head on his shoulder. And took Jocelyn in his arms.
"Mommy's sleeping, she looks so pretty" said Jocelyn in her cute childish voice.
"You know, your as pretty as she is" said Jack, chuckling at the now blushing little girl.
"Jack..your my daddy right?"
Jack looked down at her with a straight face, those little brown eyes of hers were really getting to him.
"I...well...I...ummm..." Jack wasn't sure how to respond to such a question.
"That's okay, I know you are" she said as she got up and hugged him.
Jack could feel his heart race, and knew somewhere deep down she was his daughter. He just couldn't understand why he couldn't admit that to himself.
He kept thinking theses heavy thoughts as the Pearl made port for the cove.
