Jack knocked on the white large door, Ria at his side looking rather pale. "Jack!" Elizabeth greeted him at the door with a hug,
"Elizabeth!" he said, "Ye've grown,"
"I am married." She told him, "Will!" she called into the house. And her husband came running,
"What now love? You mustn't disturb me when-" he stopped. He stared at the couple at his door. He grinned from ear to ear.
"Jack old boy!" he said and patted his shoulder, "You have been missed."
"Indeed?" Jack grinned. Ria shrunk back as Will spotted her,
"And who is this?" he asked, Ria looked a mess in the respectable house, but stepped forward bravely.
"My name is Alexandria Robins. But please, do call me Ria." She said shaking Will's hand like any man. Will smiled, taking a liking to this new woman immediately.
"Ah ha! A Sparrow and a Robin! What a match. This is Elizabeth, my wife, and I am William Turner, but please, call me Will," he announced,
"Do come in!" Elizabeth said, "I'll get some wine… or rum Jack? As I do remember." She offered. Jack smiled,
"Whatever ye have luvie." He said walking into the large house.
"So Ria, tell me about yourself." Will said taking a glass from Elizabeth and sitting down. Ria smiled looking into Jack's eyes,
"Well, what is there to say?"
"How you met Jack." Elizabeth suggested sipping her wine. Jack nodded with a mischievous smile,
"Tell them how ye were planning to kill me for 3 years luv." He told her. Will and Liz raised an eye brow.
"No, no! it's not like that." She reassured them. "My parents were killed by someone who claimed to be Jack Sparrow, I spent 3 years tracking the Jack down, only to fall in love with him." She said playing with his dreadlocks. "He didn't kill my parents of course."
"So have you any idea who did kill your parents Ria?" Liz asked her curiously. Jack took a swig of rum,
"Barbossa," he said. Will nodded. But then, Ria thought of something she hadn't asked Jack, ever before.
"But did Barbossa have a scar on his right cheek that went from his ear to his mouth?" she asked him. Jack stopped drinking and Will frowned,
"A scar, why do you ask?" Will asked,
"Because before he left, I scarred him with my knife. It wasn't a light cut, it must still be a scar." She told him, Jack shook his head,
"No…" he said slowly, "Barbossa didn't have no scar."
"Then it is another!" Liz concluded. Ria drew her sword and began to make her way out of the house,
"I must find him," she said, the three stood up,
"Why?" Will asked,
"Because I'm going to kill him." She said simply,
"YOU can't kill him," Will said. She stopped, turned around, "YOU'RE a woman!" he told her laughing, Jack whistled low,
"Bad thing to say, Will." he told him warningly. Ria pointed her sword at Will, and she felt fire,
"Draw your sword," she demanded. Will drew one of his finest sword from its sheath. Liz sighed and sat down as Jack backed against a wall. "Suddenly, I don't like you anymore. Will." She said, Jack smiled,
"Watch our Will, she's good at this game," and Ria began a skilled thrust, Will parried, only just. Surprise caught his face, and a smile fell on Jacks'. Will launched a quick attack, Ria dodged all the strikes, struck the sword out of his grasp and countered with a blow that would've pierce his heart, she stopped short, only less than an inch from his chest. Liz's eyes nearly popped out, and Will saw fury in the sword and Ria's face.
"Enough luvie." Jack said hugging Ria from behind, the sword still at Will's chest.
"Oh? But I was having so much fun!" she smiled slightly, her red cheeks turned back to pale. She withdrew her sword. Will breathed again and Liz laughed. Will frowned,
"Your sword-" he began,
"What about it?" Ria put her sword in its sheath,
"Was forged in anger, was it not?" he continued. Ria frowned.
"Alright ye two, enough fighting." Jack said. Ria left his arms and held onto the door
"Who said I couldn't kill." She whispered, and left. Jack ran after her,
"Where ye going luvie?" he called after her. She slowed, clutching her stomach, she threw up at the side of the road. Jack's eyes widened, "That ain't sea sick luv," he told her, she swayed,
"I… I don't feel so well Jack," she said softly, she dropped her sword and fainted, Jack caught her before she fell and took her back to the Turners.
