Heather sat on her friend's love seat reading a novel. Her friend Elizabeth sat next to her knitting. Heather yawned and set down her novel and looked up at the clock. It said 10 p.m. and she stretched slightly. She peered at Elizabeth and found her dozing.
"I think it is time I went to sleep," she whispered.
Heather stood, covered Elizabeth with a blanket and ascended the stairs. She entered her room and changed into her nightdress. She sat in front of her mirror and brushed her hair. As she braided her long hair she softly hummed. She laid her brush down and slipped into her bed. Sighing, she closed her eyes and fell into a blissful sleep.
Sounds from downstairs woke Heather from her sleep. She heard soft, jolly laughter from downstairs. She recognized one of them as Will, Elizabeth's husband. Sighing, she sat up and pulled on her night robe. She tied it and stepped from her room. She heard more laughter with Elizabeth's joining in. She peered over the stair rails and saw a rough looking man sitting with them and laughing joyfully.
"I see we have an onlooker," said the stranger looking up.
"Oh Heather. I do apologize if we woke you dear. Please come meet Mr. Sparrow," said Elizabeth calling to her.
Heather descended the stairs and walked over to the stranger who stood to greet her. He took her hand and kissed it softly.
"I be glad to meet you my lovely lady," he spoke in a roguish voice.
"This is Captain Jack Sparrow, Heather. Jack this is Heather Davies. She is visiting us from London," said Elizabeth.
"It is a pleasure to meet you Captain Sparrow," said Heather, curtsying slightly.
"Oh you're a right proper lady aren't ya love," he chuckled.
"Jack," said Elizabeth punching him lightly on the arm.
"It is alright Beth. What he says is true," said Heather laughing lightly.
"Excuse me Miss Heather. There is someone at the door for you," announced the butler.
"Oh my. Who could it be at this time? Excuse me Captain," she said before hurrying from the room.
"She is a beauty isn't she Jack?" said Will noticing Jack's eyes follow Heather from the room.
"That she be lad. Now where were we," chuckled Jack, returning to their talk.
Heather hurried to the receiving room and peered in. She almost groaned when she saw who it was. Sighing, she gathered her manners and moved into the room.
"Ah Miss Heather. How good to see you. I didn't disturb you did I?" asked the man.
"Why yes Mr. Grayson you in fact did. What brings you here at this hour?" she said.
"Why my lady. I have brought word of your brother. He has been found," said the man, getting too close to her.
"Where is he Mr. Grayson?" she said, moving away.
"First I want my reward. And you look like a damn fine reward," said the man leering at her.
"Mr. Grayson, unhand me at once," cried Heather.
"Now why would I do that?" said Grayson.
"Because if ye don't be doin as the lady says we shall run ye through," growled a voice.
Heather looked up to find Will and Jack standing in the doorway with a sword and pistol aimed at the man. She felt Grayson let her go and she rushed to Jack's side. He wrapped one arm around her waist and the other remained pointed at Grayson.
"Now tell her what she wants to know or join Davy Jones," said Will.
"Your brother was seen in Tortuga one week ago. Now may I go?" said the man.
"Yes but don't show yer face round here again," growled Jack, holding Heather close.
They watched the man leave and Heather sighed with relief. Than she realized her brother was alive. She laid her head on Jack's shoulder and cried softly. He pulled her into his arms and let her cry. She pulled back as the sobs stopped. She looked into Jack's dark laughing eyes and felt herself fall into them. They stood like that for only moments before she pulled herself away.
"Thank you Captain and Will. But now this means my brother is alive. But how am I going to find him?" she said, sitting in a dining chair.
"Tortuga is a pirate town love. He is more than likely there. Who be yer brother lass?" asked Jack kneeling in front of her.
"His name is Tomas Robbins," she said, again looking into his eyes.
"Tom is yer brother? I know him. He is one of the finest pirates around. Besides me of course," said Jack, chuckling with mirth.
"You do? Can you take me to him?" she said, clutching his hand in hers.
"Yes I could. But Tortuga be no place for a lady," he said, squeezing her hand. "Ye could tell me what ya be wantin him fer and I will get it to him."
"No, I must tell him myself. I promised father," she said, lowering her eyes.
"Well Jack. I don't see why you couldn't just take her to Tortuga. She would have you to protect her. Along with your crew," suggested Will.
"Oh Jack. Would you take me to find him? Please," said Heather, looking at Jack with hope filled eyes.
"Oh ye be a sly one lad. Ye know I can never resist a lady," chuckled Jack.
"Oh thankyou thankyou," said Heather placing a kiss on his cheek.
"Now for that I would take ye to the ends of the earth miss," said Jack laughing softly.
