Hello dear readers, here's another chapter. I hope you'll like it. Reviews are very appreciated. :)

Eyes glanced from Riggs to Charley, waiting for one to speak. Yet confusion took hold of them. Their minds full of questions, wondering how their paths have crossed each other. Six years they had not seen each other. Both look slightly different from what they could recall. They were family; a bound, they both thought that could not break.

"You are still alive..!" Riggs exclaimed, relief washed over him, as he stared at Charley, who did not move from where she stood. Confusion he could see expressed in her eyes. "How did you get to...no, no, it's great to see you alive, little sister." He started, but the words seemed hard to produce. The punch in the stomach had minimal effect. Eyes he felt upon him, belonged to the men that witnessed the murder of their father. Yet it was Charley, who stood among them, years he had not seen her, and there she was. "I feared you were dead. Had not heard word of you, since you left me in Tortuga, of all the places. I knew Jack, somehow twisted your arm and allowed you to join him on another useless adventure. Years of not seeing you, or Sam...finally left Sam and came to your senses?"

Blood within Charley, boiled, rushing around her body. Riggs kept on rambling on, yet all she could hear was her heart throwing itself against its cage. While her mind was in a whirlwind. Mentioning of Sam, Charley paused as her mind flashed the face of Sam. The face she fell in love with, yet grew to haunt her.

"Sam made you act different..." Riggs added.

"It was you, who changed, brother." Charley finally stated firmly. "You got processed with the curse of greed. You killed for fun, instead of survival. You broke everything I bloody believed in. You even broke grandfathers house. It was you, who lied to me Riggs. Don't dare twist things and blame me." A few steps, Charley took forward towards her brother, her right hand rested upon the hilt of her sword, yet her mind tried to take the hand away, as if reminding her not to do something she may regret later on. "Jack gave me a save passage. He allowed me to escape from a monster that I used to call brother."

"Charley...come on now"

"You are not my brother." The words punched Riggs in the heart, as he could hear the frustration behind the words. Six years she has thought harshly of me, Riggs realised, a long time to ask for forgiveness.

Tensed silence grew, as Charley watched Bo'sun shove Riggs to the mast and tie his wrists together. She realised her hand held the hilt of her sword, her anger controlling her body, wanting to strike the man. A look of confusion and shock washed over Riggs' face, before anger took control of him.

"What did you do to her?" Riggs asked aggressively to Jack, who stared back with confusion, before staring back at Charley who glanced around her surroundings. She noticed Barbossa had not move from his spot, yet his eyes took in the scene, a smirk played on his lips. Some of the crew members moved grabbing the plank, she knew she had not long to try and save her friend, Elizabeth, as well as the others, yet it seemed an impossible task. Surrounded by pirates, in which Charley knew all to well what their anger and annoyance could do upon her own body, however, there were additional bodies, which can be harmed and killed.

Charley moved herself towards Riggs, whose eyes moved from Barbossa and towards her, she detected his anger, she did not blame him or care. He had always been vocal on how he felt. Years she had heard him curse the man who murdered their father, but he is more of a fool to think he can kill him now, Charley told herself, yet heartache and anger caused the fire within, its impossible to kill it, as it spreads throughout the years.

"Don't be a fool Riggs. I grew tired of following you to dead ends. To fight everyone. To pick up scraps and face the noose, more times than we saw our own father. You don't understand how draining it is, to have someone you trusted to underestimate you. To step around you. You changed not me." Charley spoke slowly and clearly, her anger she felt brewing, but fear gripped her heart, conscious what short time she had to try to save people.

Anger burned through Riggs' eyes, as Charley watch it build through his body. She knew the words pained him to hear, however, that did not change what he had done. Swiftly, Charley unsheathed her sword and moved backwards, as Riggs broke free and charged after her. He had no weapon, but he was strong. Many times, Charley had witnessed how strong his punches were, he had killed with his bare hands, blood had filled them; felt the soul slip away from its container. Before any of the siblings could make a move on each other, a shadow flew into their sights and landed upon Riggs, Charley paused, as Bert landed on Riggs, showing his sharp teeth and deafening him with his terrifying barks.

Frozen upon the deck. Charley took the moment to walk towards her brother, while ordered Bert to stay silent, but he stayed upon Riggs. "As you're laying there, maybe you'll listen. Jack was the one willing to help me, as he could not help our father." She looked back up and turned her gaze to Barbossa once again. "You finally have my brother. Do what you like, I don't care."

Tensed silence blew around the ship, as Charley moved herself away from Riggs, and ordered Bert to follow. Yet as she got to the crowd of the pirates, she heard Riggs stand back on his feet. But it was his words he expressed that made her pause. "You've grown heartless, little sister. Just like these men you try to help. That was not of my own work. You ran away from your own family. Mother died. Father killed. But it was you, who murdered grandfather. You left us and he died with a broken heart, hearing you disappeared. How does it feel, to be more heartless than me, sister? The only time, I wish Sam was here, to hear all the deeds you have done."

"I loved Sam." She found herself whispering to herself, painfully. A few seconds passed, as Charley gathered all her thoughts, before turning to face Riggs. She saw a few pirates started to walk towards Riggs to grab him, but as Charley spoke, they paused and stared at her.

"Sam died. Sam was killed because of me. They found out where I was hiding, Sam came to warn me, but it was too late. They chased us out of town and into the forest, however, there was no where to hide. We got lost. Somehow got split. I kept running, knowing if I ran back, I would be caught. I heard Sam calling my name. Desperation in Sam's voice, it still haunts me to this day. I found Sam holding onto the edge of the cliff. Sam had tripped and rolled oved the edge; losing grip every second that went by. The red coats were still on our trail. I tried. I swear I tried to help Sam, but time was not on our side. I watched, as Sam's fingers slipped from the cliff. I witnessed Sam's body fall into the depths of the rocks below." Charley added out loud. She felt a weight lift from her shoulders, but bitterness upon her tongue. She stared back at Riggs, who looked deflected, as the anger vanished. "Aye, I am a murder, Riggs. I loved Sam. I loved her and killed her."

Charley lowered her eyes, as she felt something shake, and realised it was her body, as she confessed out loud. It had been eating away at her heart. She moved her gaze to Jack, who stared back, sharing his expression of sadness. However, annoyance took over him, as two pirates grabbed hold of him, and walked him away from his crew. Another two held Riggs. Charley felt a pair of hands upon her arms, making her look up to see it was Bo'sun, he did not look down upon, but a greedy smile was upon his face. "Time to watch you friend's walk the plank."
