Chapter XIV

A/N: To my reviewers:

H.S Jones: Nice twist, ey? –snicker-

Yuki Asao: No? You mean you don't like that, either? –giggle- I love my crazed mind.

Claudia was pacing now. She was waiting for that idiot girl to fall asleep so she could talk with Pan in private. When Peter emerged from Wendy's hut, he looked aggravated.

"The Jolly Roger has been involved in a Cyclone. All believed to be dead, apart from James Hook who is missing along with Evelyn and Hook's godforsaken half-brother". Claudia informed him, her emerald orbs darkening with each thought that past.

"Where was their last reported location?" Peter asked her, feeling his bandaged arm sting.

"Off the coast of Northern Germany, perhaps a few hundred miles shy of Denmark". Claudia shook her head. "I have received no further information from my contacts at this point for they do not know if the three are alive".

Peter met Claudia's gaze. "Then Germany we will go".

Jack knew that the moment he was released something was wrong. The American Nazi that took Evelyn to her fate handed him a note, which appeared to be unopened.

"She told me to give this to you before you left".

"And to do what with it, exactly?" Jack asked, as his eyes adjusted to the light writing upon the envelope.

"Commander Townsend has refused to give me further information, I suggest you leave before your death warrant is signed". The American raised an arm, gesturing to the front gate.

And Jack left, as he approached into sunlight, the writing became clearer. He looked closely at the envelope as he walked, and knew at once who the note was for.

James Hook.

But where was that brother of his? Jack sighed and gave a brief salute to the men at the gate as he walked onward to freedom, not glancing back, and knowing he had to find a pub. Soon.

Night had fallen and Jack found his saviour. He was lucky the barman spoke brief English as Jack ordered a rum. He felt a brief tapping on his shoulder and spun around, to reveal a darkened figure. The figure gestured for Jack to come outside, and he obliged, keeping a slight grip upon the hilt of his sword. The figure removed his hood and Jack almost fainted at the sight of James Hook.

"My God, mate. Where were you?" Jack asked, knowing he had to give something to his brother. "Not sleepin' with another woman, I hope. Or Evelyn will really have your guts for garters now that she's…"

James tilted his head slightly to the side, indicating for Jack to continue.

"…joined the German Navy".

"For what reason?" James asked, shaking his head. "She hated the Germans more than I hate Pan".

"To save my behind…"

That sentence made James flip. "If you have touched her in any way…"

"Calm down, savvy. I aint done nothin' of the sort. There must have been some other agreement. Protect her friends and family as well, or somethin' like that".

"That sounds like a plausible excuse". James felt himself frowning. "Which ship did she join?"

"Don't know, mate. Oh, she wanted me to give you this…" Jack fumbled in his pockets and pulled out the envelope. "So where have you been?"

James took the envelope from his brother and decided to answer his question. "The Black Pearl plucked me from the ocean before the Germans did".

"The Pearl??" Jack exclaimed. "She's here? In Germany?"

James nodded. "We looked everywhere for you and Evelyn, but Gibbs insisted it was too dangerous to get close to shore".

"Yeah, and if we don't leave soon, we're going to have a very big battleship on our backside". Jack shrugged.

James agreed, somewhat fearing for Evelyn's life at the same time. "We leave now".

Evelyn didn't want to tell the Germans about James, but she was forced to. The interrogation process was rough, and she was only grateful that her child was still alive.

The Germans now knew about that, too.

She told them everything about Neverland and the Jolly Roger, Tinkerbell, the Lost Boys, Jack Sparrow and even his rants about the Black Pearl. Evelyn threw up after the entire process, and continued doing so until the only thing left in her stomach was the stomach itself. She hated betraying James and Jack, she knew he could never forgive her. But in order to protect them, she had to give the Germans what they wanted. Even if it meant to give up her child upon birth. The Bismarck was due for departure in a few hours, and the men had to scour everywhere for a decently fitting Naval uniform which bore her rank. And above and foremost, she regretted to think about preparing to meet the man she never wanted to look upon the eyes of again. Adolph Hitler.

James had led Jack on board the Black Pearl, some of the surviving members of the Jolly Roger trying to make ends meet with those of the Pearl. Jack begun to seriously doubt the speed of the Pearl could match that to a German Aircraft Carrier. As Jack threw darts on a poster he found of Adolph Hitler that was on the back of his cabin's door, he was about to throw the next one aimed exactly between the eyes of the poster – just as James opened the door. Jack restrained himself.

"Tell me about the Bismarck". James asked, his face placid with unreleased anger.

"A massive German battleship that will tear the Pearl to thousands of tiny… hold on, mate. What's wrong?" Jack dropped his feet off the desk and sat rigid.

"That, is the ship Evelyn has joined. She wrote her apologies more times than I can count". James threw the note onto the table. "Jack, she's told them about us".

Jack blinked. He not only blinked, he paled considerably. "Damn". He said, shaking his head. "Damn… we'll be meeting Davy Jones sooner than you think".

James considered this thought. "Not if I can help it".

She retired to her bedchambers alone that night, thankful that she had not betrayed James's love. A brief smile past her lips as she felt a small kick come from the child growing inside her, and as she sat below her window to watch the setting sun, Evelyn touched her stomach as the unborn child kicked once more. Slowly, she closed her eyes, and passed on the love and excitement growing in her heart to James, wherever he was.
