Jack went through the destroyed streets quietly respecting the
people who had died. The scene was the same as nine months earlier. He
hurried through the crowded streets trying not to step on anyone below him,
to his house. Emma and his family had not appeared in the fort the night
before. He turned his head to see a crying wife over her dead husband. Jack
looked over them and saw a girl. Her brown curly hair dripped over her
face, and seemed to be stained with blood. He stopped, the girl looked
familiar.
"Emma!" Jack called, and went over to his sister lying on the ground. She was still the dress from the day before. He grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her a little. "Emma." She didn't stir. Jack felt for a pulse, there was one, and then there was a moan. "Thank God." He picked up his limp sister and headed to his parent's house. The door was locked and he banged on it. "Its Jack!" The door opened by a butler.
"Good morning sir." The butler nodded.
"Are my parents here?" Jack asked hurriedly, stepping in careful not to hit Emma's head on the door or wall.
"Yes, Mr. Turner, and Mrs. Turner are sitting in the study." He walked away. Jack shrugged and went to the study. His parents both had worried looks on their faces, but were holding something. Two maid were around them standing over them. Will turned his head when his son walked in. He sighed with relief and then saw Emma in his arms.
"What happened?" Will asked, getting up.
"Emma!" Elizabeth gasped. Trying to get up, but failing miserably, and she sat and stared longing to go to her daughter. She was holding something.
"I don't know." Jack shook his head. "She's alive, but I didn't see Davy or anyone around her, though." Will handed the bundle to the maid. "What's that?" Jack asked nodding towards the bundles.
"That's Abigail and that's William." Will smiled for a minute. "We should get her up to her room." He said looking at his daughter. Emma made a movement, causing Jack to somewhat jump a little. Her eyes fluttered opened. Her head hurt, and her body felt limp. Emma looked around the room wildly, her head spinning.
"Put me down I'm fine." Emma sighed struggling against her brother's arms. She hated to be in this position. Jack put her down, gently. Emma swayed a little and felt her head. Blood appeared on her fingers. "Oh" She whispered and fainted. Jack caught his sister.
"She's a pirate?" Jack looked disbelieving at his father.
"She's only half." Will smiled. "Jack go get the doctor."
Katherine rubbed her shoulders, as she stared out the window. She hadn't seen Jack since last night. A tear came to her eye.
"Love, don't cry." Jane came to her daughter's side. "Jack will be alright, I promise, he probably found Jessy and brought her to the doctor."
"What if he didn't?" Katherine said in a small voice.
"He's fine." Jane smiled, and looked over at James who sat still watching them. "James, Alexandra's fine, she probably hid."
"Or pirates took her." He voice low and dangerous. Jane gave a long tried sighed. Jessy was gone, probably lying in the dirt ground dead. It was her fault she should've held Jessy's hand or something.
"Mother, don't worry." Katherine gave a little smile, "Jessy is probably fighting off the rest of the pirates."
"We can only hope, love." Jane smiled, as a tear rolled down her eyes. Just then the door flew open, and Norrington walked in. He looked around the room.
"Where's Jessy?" He asked Jane. His lines in his face becoming more define. Jane pressed her lips together, and shrugged. Norrington came over to her and cradled her in his arms. "She's going to be fine." He whispered.
"No, she's not." Jane choked. "She's gone." Katherine looked out the window a few more minutes and turned sharply. Her family looked at her, as she made her way to the door. "Where are you going?"
"To the governors'."
Will looked at his daughter. She was silently sleeping, now. The doctor had come saying that she might suffer fainting spells from her injury. Elizabeth sat on the edge of Emma's bed, stroking her hair and humming a song. Jack and the twins had gone to sleep for a while. The house was still, and quiet. Will sighed; the town was like it was nine months earlier.
"I wonder where the Black Pearl is." Elizabeth whispered. Will turned to look at her, and he shrugged. He looked back out the window, nothing. Elizabeth felt a tear come to her eye. "Will, suppose..."
"No" Will quietly shook his head. "Their fine." Even though he wasn't sure himself.
"Emma will...." Elizabeth started but was cut off when someone walked in the door. Katherine stood there her face pale. "Katherine!" Katherine looked at Elizabeth and then at Emma.
"Emma!" Katherine gasped. "She's not..."
"No." Elizabeth smiled and shook her head. "What's the matter?"
"Have you seen Jack?" Katherine asked looking a little relieved.
"Yes, he's in his room sleeping, with the twins." Elizabeth smiled.
"Twins?" Katherine asked confused. "Oh, congratulation! Would you mind if I..."
"Go ahead." Elizabeth smiled and nodded. Katherine was out in a minute. Then shook her head. "Newlyweds." Will gave a soft smile. Elizabeth sighed, and Emma stirred a bit, but didn't wake up.
"Elizabeth," Will sighed, "Remember when Emma was little?"
"Will." Her tone was warning.
"She was sick for the longest time," He ignored her remark, "you sat by her bed like this and..."
"Will!" Elizabeth sighed fiercely and then said in a calming voice. "Emma isn't little any more. She's older and knows what she wants in life." She looked down at Emma and the little bandage on her head filled with blood already. "What did you say about Davy?" Elizabeth looked at her husband. Will bit his lip, and smiled.
"I said yes." He shrugged. Elizabeth smiled and left her daughter's side for a moment. She kissed Will, quickly.
"The process of letting go." She smiled, and began to leave. Will sat in a chair by the window. Elizabeth sighed and left. "It's a hard one." Will watched his wife leave and then turned his attention to Emma. She slept peacefully. He smiled to himself, would he be able to let go again?
Katherine crept into the Jack's room. The curtains were put over the window, and it was dark in the room. She saw the two cradles side by side and went to go for a look. One baby in each, they were sleeping soundly, and she smiled. Katherine felt someone grab her by the waist and pull her in close.
"Their peaceful now, wait till they wake." Jack whispered in her ear.
"That's comforting." Katherine sighed and turned to face him. She pulled him in a hug. "I was worried about you."
"You don't have to worry." Jack smiled, and looked down at her. She was crying. "What's the matter?"
"Jessy's gone." Katherine whispered. "I didn't see her in the streets and she wasn't at the fort with mother and James. I think the pirates took her."
"She might be on the Black Pearl." Jack hugged her again. Katherine just nodded.
"I didn't see the Sparrows or anyone in town," Katherine sighed, "What if she isn't Jack? What if they took her?" Katherine thought for a moment, "Oh and Alexandra is gone too."
"Emma!" Jack called, and went over to his sister lying on the ground. She was still the dress from the day before. He grabbed her by the shoulders and shook her a little. "Emma." She didn't stir. Jack felt for a pulse, there was one, and then there was a moan. "Thank God." He picked up his limp sister and headed to his parent's house. The door was locked and he banged on it. "Its Jack!"
