Chapter Four

Pearl gulped at the sound of what her mother was saying. "Jack?...no..." she said quietly. Elizabeth turned around. "Why not? He has been searching for you for so long now. Come on he should be here any minute." Pearl looked a little shocked. She wasn't used to having anyone telling her what to do. She then remembered that it was her mother, but still...

"No." Pearl said sternly.

Elizabeth turned around. "What?"

"I said no mum. I don't want to just yet..." she said.

Elizabeth sighed. "Pearl, please, he has been waiting for so long." When there was no reply Elizabeth looked up. Pearl was nowhere in sight. "Pearl?" Elizabeth said. 'Pearl!" Elizabeth called. No one answered. Pearl was running again. Elizabeth sighed once more. She wouldn't tell Jack about this. It would just make him gone even more.

"Elizabeth?" Jack said as he walked up to her. "I thought ye'd be inside already." Elizabeth glanced and noticed Suzette in his arms. She smiled and gave her daughter a kiss. "Hello sweetheart." She said to little Suzy. Suzette smiled. At least she has one daughter that wouldn't run away from her.

Elizabeth took one last look at the ocean, and then remembered that Jack and Suzette were still waiting for her. "Come on lets go inside." She said.

Pearl walked along the docks and over to her ship. She had to get out of here. "I knew I shouldn't have come back." She said to herself. Why'd she even bother? At least now her mother will know she is safe. But to be honest she really didn't know if she wanted to meet Jack at all.

"I mean if he really loved me wouldn't he had made a little more of an effort for Elizabeth to keep me?" she said aloud to herself. Then again what about Elizabeth? Why'd she even given her up in the first place? Didn't she love her? This was all too confusing. Now she almost wished that she would have died when she jumped.

She remembered hearing their conversation they had, had when she was young but she was young and na•ve when it was said. She didn't feel the same way anymore. Just as she was getting on her ship and ready to set sail she heard someone calling her name. She sighed and turned around.

"Yes?" she said to the young man looking at her.

"Sorry to bother you miss, but do you have any idea where a young woman by the name of Pearl might be?" he asked.

Pearl began to get off her ship. "That be me, who's asking?"

The man smiled. "Long time, no see Pearls." He said.

Pearl was just about to walk back to her ship until she heard that name. "What did you say?" she asked while walking even closer to him.

"You know what I said Pearls." He said still smiling.

Pearl looked confused. "Only one person ever called me that...John?" she said.

The man smiled widened as he nodded his head.

Pearl smiled and ran over to him. John opened his arms and gave her a hug. Pearl returned the hug as a tear ran down her cheek. "I thought I'd never see you again." She said. They both stood there for a moment in each other's arms until Pearl let go. She smiled and wiped her face. "Why are you here?" she asked.

"To find you." He said.

"How'd you know I'd be here?"

"I didn't. I simply assumed you'd be here. That is if you were still alive, and lucky me! You haven't broken your neck yet!" he said sarcastically with a small clapping motion. Pearl smiled. "Ha ha very funny."

John ignored the comment. "Where are you off to in such a big hurry?" he asked.

Pearl shrugged. "I don't know...anywhere really..."

There was silence for a moment before John spoke. "Well why don't you come with me. I'm heading to Port Royal anyway. I have to visit my mom." He said with a wink. Pearl looked a little amazed. "You finally found her?" she asked.

John nodded. "Her name is Jade O'Connell...well Turner now. She is married to a man named William Turner." Pearl smiled. "Oh, well, I'd love to come with you...would your mum mind?" she asked. John shook his head. "Not at all. My half brother will be pleased to have someone else to play with."

"Half brother?" Pearl said a bit confused.

"Yeah, I think his name was Peter or something, but either way it looked like he had a wooden sword so maybe you could teach him a thing or two." John said while smiling.

Pearl shrugged. "Alright...but what about my ship?" she asked.

"Don't worry, we'll be back soon you can leave it here...no one will steal it." He said.

"Okay." Pearl said as they walked over to his ship. His was a tad bit bigger but not much, but it was big enough for two people. "Nice." Pearl said as she looked around the ship. John did not pay attention. Pearl walked to the lower deck to see what was there. Not much. A small room whish she guessed was the bedroom, and a small room; which was used for the bathroom.

Pearl walked back up to the top deck and the sun was already starting to go down. She looked over and saw John standing there looking at the sky. "What are you thinking about?" Pearl asked. John turned around to see Pearl standing behind him. She looked so beautiful just as he remembered her. Her long dark hair swayed in the breeze, as did her skirt.

"You." John said while looking at her. Pearl looked a bit surprised. "Why me?" she asked. "Cause I haven't seen you for over three years...I missed you." Pearl smiled. "I've missed you too. I thought you were dead." John had a puzzled look on his face. "Why? Why would I be dead?" he asked.

Pearl shrugged. "I don't know, just we promised to see each other now and then, and you never came to see me." She said a little hurt. John looked down at his feet. "I'm sorry." He mumbled. "I didn't actually think you'd wait for me." Pearl looked even more hurt. "I always waited for you. I used to think about what we'd do when we saw each other. John, you're my only friend why wouldn't I want to see you?" she asked.

John shrugged again. "I'm sorry." Pearl showed a weak smile. "It's ok." She mumbled. John walked closer to her. "No it's not." He whispered. Pearl gazed deep into his eyes for a moment, and then John leaned in to kiss her. Pearl closed her eyes and waited for his lips to meet hers. When they did they shared a passionate kiss. John had loved her since the day they had met. He had been waiting for this.

John then pulled out of the kiss and began to walk down to the bottom deck. Pearl followed. There he sat on his bed and waited for her. She sat down and leaned in. They kissed once more and then John moved down a little lower until his lips met her neck. He kissed her neck while Pearl lowered herself on the bed.

There; John lay on top of Pearl still kissing her neck. As he was untying her bodice Pearl pushed him away. "No." She said while taking deep breaths. "We should stop." John understood. Everything was going much too fast. Pearl sat up and tied her bodice once again.

"I'm sorry...I shouldn't have done that in the first place." John said.

Pearl looked at him. "No, no don't be sorry. You have nothing to be sorry about."

John nodded. "Alright then."

There was a moment of silence as they both sat on the bed. They both didn't know what to say. It was all a little acquired. John then spoke up. "Well I don't know about you Pearls, but I am going to bed." Even though it was still early she was extremely tired too.

Pearl got up so he could get in his bed. She looked around and realized that there wasn't another bed. "Where do I sleep?" she asked. John lifted up the sheets as to offer her some room in the bed. Pearl excepted and took off her shoes and bodice, so all she had was her shirt and skirt. She then walked over and crawled in next to him.

As she drifted off into sleep she felt John turn over and place his arm around her waist. Pearl smiled and felt safe under the protection of his body. Those were the last thoughts that Pearl remembered before she fell asleep.

~*~

Early morning came and Pearl awoke. She sat up and noticed that John wasn't next to her anymore. She looked around. He must have been up on the top deck. Pearl got out of bed and put her shoes and bodice back on. She combed her hair and walked up to the top deck.

There she found John and the wheel. He smiled when he saw her. "Hello." He said. "Hi." Pearl mumbled. "How much further to Port Royal?" she asked. "A few hours." He said now looking at the sky. Pearl nodded and walked back to the lower deck. She had nothing better to do, so she crawled back in bed.

She rolled over to look out the small window near the bed. She watched the waves go by as they moved. Pearl laid there looking out the window thinking about what happened last night. She was happy to go back to Port Royal. She was really young when she left but she remembered parts of town. This would be a time to remember.
