8. The Return to Port Royal

When Will, Amelia and Diann reached the docking area, Will jumped out of the boat and tied it to a nearby post while Amelia helped Diann onto the deck. Once everything was settled, Will ran the familiar path to his home, Diann right on his heels. Amelia stayed behind, staring at all the shops that flashed by them.

Will skidded to a halt in front of the entrance door to his once-friendly home. He tied to open the door, but it was locked.

"Diann," He said, "Do you have a pin or something sharp?"

"Yes." She said, pulling a pin out of her hair. She handed it to her father, who picked the lock. To a normal person, this might take several minutes, but Will knew this doorknob and it clicked open in less than ten seconds. He, Diann and Amelia rushed inside.

"Elizabeth! Anamaria!" Will shouted. He heard a crash upstairs. "Come on!" He whispered to Diann and Amelia. He and his companions ran up the stairs. Where did the crash come from? For the first time, Will cursed at how big his house was, wishing there were less rooms to investigate.

"Elizabeth?" He said. Another crash issued from their bedroom. He ran inside and looked around. Diann and Amelia came in after him.

"Will…" He heard a muffled voice from their closet. Will pulled it open and gasped at the sight. Elizabeth and Anamaria were both bound and gagged. Beside Elizabeth, two of their finest dishes lay in shatters. Apparently, Elizabeth had kicked them to get Will's attention. Anamaria seemed quite untouched, but Elizabeth had a gash on her face and a bruise on her arm showed darkly from the under the white nightgown she was wearing.

Will ran forward and untied his daughter and wife.

"Daddy!" Ana sobbed, hugging her father.

"Shh." Will said, rubbing her back. "It's okay… I'm here…" Ana broke into sobs.

"There were pirates! And not nice ones, like the ones you described, Daddy! Big ones with scary faces!" Will pulled free of his youngest daughter and told Diann to take her downstairs and get her some water. They did so. The only people left were Will, Elizabeth and Amelia.

Elizabeth tried to sit up, but Will held her back.

"Elizabeth," He said, seriously, "Are you hurt other than this cut and the bruise?" Elizabeth shook her head and she hugged him. His face was forced into the hair that fell to his wife's shoulders.

"Will!" She sobbed, "It was horrible! So many of them! So many! I tried to hold them off! Will, they took father! Father is gone! As is the Commodore and his men! They fled!"

"As for the Commodore," Will said to his wife, "He is fine. He and his men were taken captive on The Elizabeth, but I found them. They are now in Tortuga. But as for the Governor, I don't know where he is."

"Will," Elizabeth said, pulling away from Will and glancing suspiciously at Amelia, "Who is this woman? Surely…"

"It is not what you think, Elizabeth. This is Amelia Sparrow Turner." Will said.

"Turner…?"

"Yes, she is my sister."

"I'm younger than him, Miss. Elizabeth." Amelia said, "Will, are you going to let her sit on the floor all day, or are you going to help her up?"

"Calm down, Amelia! I just don't want to rush her into doing anything drastic."

"Where did the Sparrow come from?" Elizabeth asked as Will pulled her to her feet and went to get her robe from the bed.

"Jack Sparrow saved my Dad's life once, so Dad thanked him by naming his next child after him. Since I was a girl, I couldn't be named Jack, so now my middle name is Sparrow."

"It works for me." Elizabeth said. "It's nice to meet you, my sister-in-law."

"I have so many titles now that it shocks me!" Amelia said.

"Will," Elizabeth said, looking at Will's chest. "There are bandages under your shirt. What happened?"

"Nothing to worry about, Elizabeth," Amelia said, "It will all be explained in time."

Suddenly, a scream from the kitchen made them all jump. The scream was that of Diann. Will, Elizabeth and Amelia stood stunned for a second before any of them reacted. The three of them scrambled down the stairs, tripping in their speed.

Elizabeth reached the kitchen door first. Once she and Amelia had gone in, Will looked around at his collection of swords by the door. Thinking quickly, he pulled his favorite one from it's sheath and ran in the kitchen.

At first, it seemed deserted. No one, not even Diann and Anamaria were there. Will walked in several paces when the door shut behind him and several hands grabbed at him, one pair covering his mouth. His hands were bound behind him and his sword was wrenched from his grasp. He was turned around brutally and came face to face with Captain Plankard.

"Well, well, Will Turner. We meet again. I suppose you are wondering where your family is, hm?" He turned to a very big pirate in the corner. "Bring them in!" The pirate nodded and shouted directions. The four girls were pushed in, all of them bound and all of them gagged.

"Such a fine family, Will." Plankard said. The pirate who had covered his hands over Will's mouth let him go.

"If you do any harm to them, I swear, Plankard, I will-"

"Do what? You are but a Blacksmith who stands here before me, bound by a rope. What will you do if I should… take out my gun, like this?" Plankard said, pulling out his gun.

"Don't do anything to-"

"And point it at this lovely woman, like this." Plankard said, pointing his gun at Elizabeth.

"Plankard, don't!"

"And pull the trigger like th-"

"STOP!" Will shouted. To his surprise, Plankard did stop. "I'll do anything for you! Anything! Just don't hurt my family!"

"Like what? I have no use for you!" Plankard said, pointing his gun at Elizabeth again, who turned pale.

"Please!" Will pleaded, "If I can do nothing for you… I will take her bullet! And each bullet in turn for Amelia, Diann and Anamaria!" The four girls all shook their heads. Plankard stared at Will, his gun still pointed at Elizabeth.

"Why should I waste four bullets on you, when I can easily kill your whole family with them! It would be killing four birds with one gun, so to speak." He chuckled at his joke.

"Please…" Will said.

"Very well." Plankard said, pointing his gun at Will finally. Will braced himself for four bullets to pierce his heart.

BANG!

Will flinched, but no pain came to him. He opened his eyes. Plankard had missed his target.

"You missed." One of the pirates said.

"I know, you buffoon! You wasted one of my shots! Now I only have three left." He aimed for Will again.

BANG!

The second bullet zoomed by Will's left ear, but still missed him.

"You missed him again." The pirate said.

"SHUT UP!" Plankard said, turning around and shooting the pirate who fell dead. "Now, Turner, hold still. I may have one shot left, but trust me, I won't miss again. Say goodbye…"

BANG!

Will felt the bullet hit his chest. He gasped loudly and looked down. Blood was staining his shirt. He looked at the four girls tied in the corner. They were all white and had wide eyes. Will fell to his knees. His face hit the cold ground. He took one last breath and plunged into the darkness that surrounded him. Will felt no more pain.
