Emma looked outside of her room. Who was that boy, his eyes dark and familiar looking, but his blond hair. She sighed, maybe he was a pirate; maybe he was the key out of this mess! Emma looked out towards the water, no new ships. She could escape but what would she tell her mother and father? Emma looked down at her feet. Something shined in the moonlight; it was a piece of gold! She looked at it carefully and it looked like a ring, but the band a fin, and the head, which held rubies, was a person. Emma gasped it was a mermaid! She felt something else at her feet. It was a piece of paper, a note. She picked it up and began to read it, "Begin to seek what you wish, but keep this with you always." There was no signature. There was a knock at the door.

"Emma!" It was Jack, "It's your brother. Can I come in?"

"Yes," Emma yelled back as she stuffed the ring and note in her robe pocket, "you may!" He walked in, still in his uniform, but it was a little messy. A little smile came on Emma's face. "Where have you been?" She asked slyly, "With Katherine perhaps?"

"Do you have an answer for James?" He ignored her question.

"So you were with Katherine!" Emma squealed with excitement, and then sighed, "Not yet."

"He was worried about you today," Jack smirked, "thought he was going to faint of the cliff himself."

"What did you two do?" Emma ignored his remark. "I know you just didn't come up here to tell me about James."

"I want to talk about her to you." Jack blushed redder than a rose. "You think Katherine loves me?"

"You have to be a bloody fool!" Emma gasped, "Of course she loves you! You love her everyone knows it! Even mother and father know. So are you going to ask her to marry you?" Jack looked at his sister, he wasn't sure if he should tell her.

"I..." He started.

"You already did?" Emma gaped at her older brother. Katherine finally becoming her sister! Life would be much better then! "Did you ask anyone about this, like for instance her father? Or what about our parents?"

"No, only you." Jack's eyes fell, and then he began to glare at her. "You know you can't tell anyone!"

"You know I never tell anyone anything." She rolled her eyes and sighed.

"I know it sometimes worries me." Jack sighed, looking worried.

"Now your starting to sound like mom." Emma giggled. "Now if you don't mind I have to go to bed and you have to get out of my room." Jack kissed his sister's forehead and left. Emma looked back out her window and wondered if she would ever find love. She pulled the ring out and watched as it gleamed in the moonlight. Maybe the ring and the boy was her way out.

Davy looked out at the dark water. He wished he could've chosen his life. He would've never chosen the one he got, a son of a pirate and a whore. He looked at Port Royal, that's the life he wanted. A high society member, someone who was respected, and loved, but he was a raping, murderous, pirate. Although he had only murdered and never raped, he regretted that he did, but yet he was still a pirate. Born one and would eventually die one. "Where are we goin' sleep?" Davy asked Sparrow.

"Up there." Sparrow pointed to the governor's house. "I know the man that lives there."

"Do you want to get hanged?" Davy looked at him as if he were crazy.

"I want Pearl back." Sparrow's face saddened. He finally beached the little rowboat. "Take this mate." Sparrow handed Davy a pistol. Davy looked where Sparrow was looking and knew why he needed that pistol.

Emma couldn't sleep. She wanted to know who gave her the ring. It could've been the boy. It seemed to haunt her, as she felt it on her finger. Emma sat up. There was a noise outside that was really loud. She dismissed it as nothing, but soon she heard it again. Emma slowly crept to her balcony. There in the bay was a large pirate ship! It had huge black sails and a black body. The pirate flag waved in the air proudly. Suddenly she began to feel dizzy, she griped the door handle. She looked at Port Royal, burning in misery, and then the pirate ship breaking the town like a little doll. It wouldn't stop until it was completely satisfied with the plundered it received. Emma watched as excitement filled her up. This could be her chance to escape.

Will quietly slipped out of bed. He was careful not to wake his wife. He crept to the window the Pearl was back! He got dressed quickly and quietly. "Will," Elizabeth yawned, "what are those noises?"

"The Pearl's back." Will answered her, "You and Emma need to get to the fort quickly." Will sighed, and Elizabeth began to dress. "Why is Jack doing this?"

"I don't think that's Jack, Will." Elizabeth smiled. After they were down quickly getting ready they looked at each other.

"You get Emma, and I'll get Jack." They kissed and both went to their children's rooms. Will walked into Jack's room. The boy was struggling to get his pants on quickly. "Jack let's go." Will sighed with a hint of laughter when his son tipped over.

"I'll be out in a minute, dad." Jack said finally pulling on his pants, and standing up. Elizabeth opened Emma's door.

"Emma come on we have to... Emma?" Elizabeth found herself in an empty room. The bed was disheveled and sheets missing. Elizabeth began to panic and called her daughter's name again, "Emma?" She looked towards the balcony the door opened and curtains flying around in the breeze. Elizabeth ran to it and looked over the railing hoping not to find Emma on the ground. She found sheets tied together making a rope for Emma to climb down.

"Elizabeth what's taking so long?" Will asked, as he walked into the to the room with Jack close behind.

"She's gone!" Elizabeth's voice shook. "Emma's gone!"

Katherine walked down the streets of Port Royal. Jack was all she could think about. She heard something in the distance, but shrugged it off. Nothing could ruin this day. Jack kissed and proposed to her. His kiss lingering on her lips still. His arms held her tight, his hand on her cheek. Katherine had felt safe and content. She felt the ring on her finger it was beautiful, in a shape on a mermaid with rubies for eyes. The noise from behind her came again and she turned her head towards the sound. Katherine gasped. A pirate ship was attacking Port Royal! She turned quickly to head back for the fort. There was another bang making Katherine look up. A piece of wood hit her head and she blacked out.

Davy ducked out of the way that the pirates were coming. They were once his friends, and now his enemies. Sparrow and him crept out from the alleyway. The streets were filled of mayhem. Pirates were in them. Sparrow casually walked through it as if he were back in Touruga. They were deep within the city and would reach the governor's house. Davy turned his head to see that a girl was running towards him. He braced himself for the collision. She fell into his arms, and the girl looked up.

"Its you!" She gasped.

"Aye." Davy nodded; it was the girl from the water. "Looks like you made a friend." He motioned behind her. A man was headed in their direction. The girl jumped behind him and he pulled out his pistol and shot the man square in the face.

"You shouldn't have shot that, mate." Sparrow slurred, lingering over to them.

"I don't prefer to die right now." Davy looked over his shoulder at the girl, and showed Sparrow her. "I don't she prefers to die right now either."

"So Miss Turner, fancy meeting you so soon, I would have half excepted you to be on the hill with your father and mother and brother." Sparrow looked at Emma.

"You know her?" Davy asked.

"You know me?" Emma asked the same time Davy did.

"No times to explain, love, show us where your house is." Sparrow looked at her.

"I can't go back!" Emma protested.

"Now you are." Davy pushed her in front. Emma looked back at Sparrow fallowing them and she wondered how he knew he and her family. Davy put his hand on her shoulder, so she couldn't runaway. Her heart did a little flip, and she blushed a little. Emma put her head down even blindfolded she could find her house. She bumped into someone.

"Will!" Sparrow walked forward in a friendly hello.

"Jack?" Will looked at Sparrow puzzled.

"Aye, I got a little someone you might want to meet." Sparrow showed Emma, her head down.

"Emma!" Elizabeth and Will said.

"Why did you leave us?" Elizabeth scolded.

"Let's get to the fort, no time for explanations." Will looked down at his daughter, knowing that she probably had been punished enough. He looked at Sparrow and Davy. "You also." The all stayed in the shadows and serectly ran to the fort. Elizabeth soon stopped.

"I forgot my necklace!" Elizabeth shouted.

"You can get it latter." Will sighed.

"Will, it was my mother's!" Elizabeth pouted.

"I'm going with you." Will sighed again.

"I can go myself." Elizabeth smiled, and turned back to her house. She ran as fast as her feet could carry her. Then something caught her eye, "Katherine!" Elizabeth exclaimed. She was lying in the streets. Elizabeth quickly made her way towards her. "Katherine!" Elizabeth gasped trying to wake her, but Katherine was out cold.

"Hello puppet." An icy voice sounded behind her. Elizabeth turned to only see darkness.
