Chapter Three
"Calling all young ones"
Disclaimer; I still do not own any of the Pirates characters, or Heath ledger, how ever the characters, Simone, Vanessa, Kate and Lyndz are the names of fellow Deppettes (YAY !!) and myself (also an Deppette YAY) and some characters were made up by me (some of the Pirate's and little William)
Jack continued his story after taking a swig of rum. "We didn't call him Heath mind, we called him Bubba. That's why I didn't know who Lyndz was on about."
Simone and Will were listening to Jack. "But where could her mother be?"
"I don't know," Vanessa answered Simone's question "but one thing is certain, we have to leave Tortuga tonight. Before anything bad happens."
"Aye, I agree. We tend to attract problems." Will said while standing up. "I will let the crew know."
Simone stared at the children now playing peacefully with each other. "I think I will go put the children to bed." Simone said walking up to them, followed by Vanessa.
"I think it would be a good idea to arrange another bed for Lyndz." Vanessa said
"We can do that tomorrow, for the time being she can sleep in bed with Kate."
"Okay kids! Bedtime!" Vanessa yelled
"Aaaaaw! Can we play for 10 minutes longer mommy?" William asked
"Nope, tomorrow there's a brand new day!"
The children followed Simone and Vanessa into the cabin. They hopped into bed.
"You can sleep in my bed Lyndz." Kate offered making Vanessa swell up with Pride.
Lyndz got into bed with Kate, and the girls giggled.
"Now you three go to sleep right away, you hear me?" Vanessa said while kissing the girls and William good night. Simone did the same, then blew out the candle. "Night night sweeties."
"Night night!" They said at the same time, followed by more giggling.
Meanwhile The Black Pearl was already on the move again. Simone found Will staring over the ocean. "Hello honey, what are you doing?" "just thinking." He answered.
"Ah just thinking.. You do know that means I want to know what your thinking about now don't you?"
Will laughed "About my life as an child. Wondering if I am an good father to William."
"Off course you are. What's making you think about that?"
"Lyndz, I mean she lost both her parents and god forbid something happens to us. Where would William be?"
"He will be with Vanessa and Jack. They will raise him like one of their own and so will we if something would happen to them." Simone said.
"Let's go to bed." Will said taking Simone's hand.
They both went into their cabin, and after an couple of hours everyone on the Pearl was asleep.
The door into Jacks cabin flew open when Gibbs came in yelling "JACK The Dauntless is getting ready to attack."
"Ye WHAT!" Jack screamed scrambling out of bed. "Get Will, and get our canons ready!
"Aye captain." Gibbs ran out
Another Pirate ran into Gibbs in front of Jacks open cabin door.
"Cap! They entered the Pearl!"
"What are ye standing there for? Fight them and make sure they don't come back!"
Gibbs and the other pirate ran of. Gibbs ran into Simone
"What's going on?"
"The dauntless has entered the Pearl miss."
"Oh my god! I'll get Will." Simone went back to her cabin to find Will dressed.
"What's happening?" Will asked
"The dauntless has entered the pearl. Please be careful!" Simone said watching Will get his sword.
"You go to the children and stay put!" Will kissed Simone and ran out. Simone quickly went to fetch Vanessa who was dressed and had her sword.
"Where are ye going?" Simone asked
"I am going to fight! Don't try to stop me." With those words she ran up while Simone ran to the children.
She reached the cabin to see the door was open. "William? Kate? Lyndz?" nobody answered her and as she walked inside the door closed with a bang and everything became black.
Meanwhile up on deck Vanessa was fighting the navy of when Will spotted her. "Why aren't you with Simone and the children?"
"Ye could use me help that's why!" Vanessa yelled back.
"You get back to them right now! You hear me? Simone hasn't got anything to protect them selves with!" Will pushed a navy guy overboard.
"WILL!!" Deacon (a fellow pirate) pointed at the navy pulling back "We've got them now!"
Will laughed relieved as did Vanessa who went looking for Jack. "I'll go check on the children!"
Will walked down into the cabin to find Simone lying on the floor not moving.
"Simone?" Will walked up to her kneeled down, pulled her head up onto his lap.
Simone slowly opened her eyes. "Ouch. What... what happened?" she asked then suddenly remembering "The children!" Then she collapsed again. Will picked her up, tears in his eyes and put her on Williams's empty bed. Then ran up on deck where Vanessa and Jack were arguing about Vanessa fighting.
"I just would like ye to stay out of trouble!" Jack said
"And I would like you to understand that I want to fight! Damn it Jack! Let's face it, you think I can't handle me sword."
"I know ye can handle yer sword luv, I'm just afraid the one fighting ye is better," Vanessa protested but jack put his hand up and continued "and I don't want to loose my beautiful wife."
Vanessa's facial expression softened at those words, when she saw Will in the corner of her eye running up towards them.
"The children, They're GONE!"
"What?" Vanessa yelled "What happened where's Simone?"
"I found her unconscious in the cabin, the navy's got them."
"Turn the pearl around ye scurvy dogs! We're going after the Dauntless!" Jack screamed at the crew.
Vanessa quickly ran down to Simone, feeling really guilty. Simone laid there on the bed staring at the ceiling not reacting at all on Vanessa's entrance.
"Are you okay?"
"Depends on how you look at it. My baby's gone, your baby's gone, and Lyndz is gone. Plus I got a huge bump on me head. Otherwise I guess I'm okay." Simone felt her eyes burning and tears falling.
Vanessa got into the bed with Simone and hugged her, cried with her. Hoping, praying she would get her daughter back.
Meanwhile on the Dauntless
Kate and Lyndz were in a corner of the hold of the dauntless while William stood in front of them holding a piece of wood he found somewhere. Cap. Gillette watched William with an evil smile upon his face. "Give it up boy. You will never win it from me."
"If ye would give me a sword I would win it from ye! I learned from the best." William replied
"Now now, dear William, not so fast. You're not saying your father teached you how to sword fight?"
"Aye he did!" William said proudly
"Yer father is nothing but an outlaw!" Gillette sneered at the little boy
Kate jumped up "Ye take that back!" she ran up to Gillette and kicked him hard. Gillette screamed and grabbed Kate. William ran up to Gillette and hit him across the head with the piece of wood making Gillette fall down unconscious. William helped Kate up.
"Thanks William."
"That's ok." He replied while grabbing Gillette by the arms. "Some help please."
The three of them tied his arms behind his back. When Gillette came back to reality he looked into Lyndz her eyes. "You!"
"YOU!" Lyndz let out a little scream
"What?" Kate asked
"That is the man who killed my daddy!" Lyndz said crying
"Yes and it was quite a nice job to do as well, gave me quite a boost in rank."
Kate comforted Lyndz. Will took their hands. "Let's get out of here. I am sure daddy and Uncle Jack will come to save us soon."
"Aaah yes the infamous captain jack sparrow." Gillette said.
Kate stopped dead in her tracks, she slowly turned around. "I dare ye to say anything bad about my daddy."
Gillette opened his mouth but thought better of it. She seemed to be a pretty tough kid for only 10 years of age.
They started walking out when William turned around ran up to Gillette, grabbed his sword and walked out with Kate and Lyndz
Everyone on the Black Pearl was busy chasing the dauntless. Will and Jack stood watching it.
"Their just children, how could they take them?" Will asked Jack
"They must 'ave deaths wish or something because I am going to kill the person who laid his grubby hands on my little girl." Jack replied
Will just nodded "We're gaining on the Dauntless Jack."
"Aye I can see that Will. Get ready to enter the ship!"
"And someone tell Simone and Vanessa!" Will yelled at the crew.
Gibbs ran down to the cabins, and walked in. "Ma'am? We're entering the Dauntless as we speak."
"Please..." Simone started
"No worries, we will get them back safely." Gibbs said understandingly.
Simone nodded and got out of bed. Vanessa followed.
They got up on deck to wait for the children.
"I hope they're ok."
"Me too. My baby must be so scared." Vanessa said hugging herself.
"Listen." William said
The three of them stopped as they heard yells up on deck.
"It's daddy." Kate said whispering.
"Let's go up there, they might need my help." William said brave.
The three of the ran up on deck, the first thing they saw was Gibbs stabbing a navy officer.
"GIBBS!" Kate and William yelled.
"'ello mateys! Ye best go ter ye mothers, they are worried sick."
"I want to fight!" William said.
"No ye won't." Gibbs replied
"Gibbs! Behind you!"
Gibbs turned around just barely missing a sword hitting him.
Will heard his son, turned around to see another navy officer behind the children, ready to strike.
"NOOOOO," he yelled, pulling out a dagger and throwing it at the navy officer hitting him in the chest. He ran up to his son, and the girls.
"I am so glad yer okay son." He said hugging him.
"Dad, I'm choking."
"Sorry, now get on the pearl."
"Dad I want to help."
"William, I know ye can sword fight but yer mom is going to kill me if I let ye, now go defend your mother and yer aunty. And you girls go with William."
The three of them did as they were told. Will helped them get on the pearl, then turned around and ordered to rid the Dauntless of all supplies for survival.
"There they are!" Simone said running up to them, grabbing hold of William and gave him a motherly hug. Vanessa Picked Kate up pulled her bandana straight. "Ye okay luv?"
"Aye mommy, William saved us."
"Did you now, son?" Simone asked.
"I did what anyone would have done, they are me family." William replied
"Oh, yer growing up so fast." Simone hugged him again, then looked at Lyndz feeling a bit out of place.
Simone let go of William, then hugged Lyndz. "I am very happy to see yer okay luv."
Aaaw isn't that sweet?? Watch out for Chapter four!
