A Remake
It was already late at night when Jack and Elizabeth returned aboard the Black Pearl, making their way below the deck, whispering, kissing, laughing, and hushing each other.
Jack opened the door to captain's quarters, and started lighting the oil lamps, only a moment later realizing that Elizabeth became surprisingly quiet, all of a sudden. He turned around giving her a questioning look but then he followed her gaze...
„Had you cleaned our cabin before we left, love?" he asked cautiously, looking around an almost empty cabin. All the books, maps, charts, clothes, trunks, swords, cutlasses, quills, trinkets, rum (rum!) bottles, Elizabeth's jewelery boxes, Jack's navigational instruments; everything, everything, save for the large pieces of furniture – was gone.
Elizabeth shifted her eyes to him and he smiled, turning to the door and opening it.
„Well, then I think we should-"
He trailed off when a piece of paper that had apparently been glued to the door fell to the floor. Bending down, Jack picked it up. Elizabeth looked over his shoulder and read the one word that was written on the piece of paper in calligraphic, capital letters: NASSAU.
„What is it?" Elizabeth asked in an impatient whisper after Jack's third try to open Blaxton's cabin door wide enough for them to enter.
Jack grumbled under his breath, trying once again, and finally pushing the door so hard that when it opened, he fell against it with full force.
„Oi," he winced, rubbing his forehead, and glaring at the trunk behind the door.
„Shhh!" Elizabeth put her hand over his mouth, taking a look around the cabin stuffed with all their belongings neatly placed on the floor, on the table, and all over the cabinets.
„Mum? Dad?" Blaxton asked in a drowsy voice, sitting up in his bed.
„You woke him up!... I told you we should wait until morning," Elizabeth whispered to Jack, before turning to Blaxton.
„We just came back, sweetheart, and..." Elizabeth sat down on the edge of the bed, drawing Blaxton into her arms.
Jack squatted down in front of them. "What happened here, sailor?"
Blaxton rubbed his eyes, and then dropped his hands, looking between his parents sleepily. "I just-" he stifled a yawn, "sacked Nassau Port without even firing a shot," he explained, nestling his head into Elizabeth's shoulder and almost instantly falling asleep again.
Elizabeth kissed the top of his head narrowing her eyes at Jack in mock annoyance.
"At least he didn't vanish from under the eyes of the entire crew," Jack whispered with a smirk.
Elizabeth snorted. "Yet!"
