Chapter eight

"Jack" someone said from behind him.

Jack turned around. Who was this? He had never seen this person before. Suzette hid behind Jack's legs. The man walked toward him. Jack looked at the man once more. Couldn't be very old. "How old are ye son?" he asked. "Sixteen." He replied.

"And I'm guessing you are the infamous cap'n sparrow." He added. "I'm not a captain anymore." Jack mumbled.

"Why not?" another voice asked. "Is it because after you took Elizabeth you had everything you wanted?" the voice asked again. Jack told Suzette to wait where she was. Suzette did just that. She stood there looking at everyone. Jack then stopped after he saw who the other person was. "Will..." he murmured under his breath.

Will walked toward Jack. Jack stood his ground. "Long time, no see." Will said. Jack laughed nervously. "Yes, yes it is." Will stopped once he was only a foot away from Jack. Will sighed. "Jack I'm not going to hurt you...I simply want to talk." This was different. Usually Will was the one who was scared, but right now Jack was terrified.

Will looked over at the little girl behind Jack. She looked so much like Elizabeth. "Is that your daughter?" Will asked while pointing at her. Jack turned around and looked at her. "Aye, she be mine." Jack said. Today be her birthday." He added.

Will nodded and walked over to Suzette. Suzette just stood there with her big eyes watching him the whole time with her golden curls swaying in the wind. Will bent down in front of her and smiled. "What is your name?" Will asked.

"Suzette." She whispered.

Will smiled. "That's a pretty name. Tell me, Suzette, how old are you today?"

Suzette held up eight fingers. Will nodded. "Eight, that's a big step, you're growing up, and then you do grow up I bet you'll be as beautiful as your mother." Will said. Suzette smiled. Will then got up and walked back over to Jack. "I swear she looks just like Elizabeth." Will admitted. Jack smiled slightly. "Aye."

Suzette then walked over to Jack and held onto his pant leg. "Lets go daddy." Suzette whispered. Jack nodded. He walked over to the man next to Will. "I never got ye name boy." Jack said. "John." He said. "Will is my step father." He added. Jack stopped for a moment. "Well ye are welcome to come by later if ye want, John." He said making sure not to invite Will.

John nodded. "I might."

Jack smiled and tilted his hat, and walked away with Suzette back to the house. There Elizabeth was sitting in the living room reading a book. When she saw them walk through the door she smiled and got up. "Back so soon?" she asked.

Suzette ran over to her. "Mommy we met someone named Will. He said that I'd be as pretty as you when I growed up!" she said with a big smile. Elizabeth looked at her and had to force a smile. She bent down to Suzette's height. "Honey, why don't you go play in your room. Daddy and I have to talk." Jack knew what that meant.

Suzette nodded and walked up stairs. After she was gone Elizabeth stood there looking at Jack. "Jack! How could you?" she shouted. "How long has Will been here?" she asked. Jack put his hands up in defense. "I didn't know he was 'ere. I swear!" Jack said.

"Well I hope you didn't say that he could come by!" she shouted.

"No of course not! He hates me anyway. I told his step son that he could come by." Jack said.

"Who is that?!" Elizabeth asked. "And why is he coming to our house?"

"Elizabeth! Calm down. I just want to see the boy, there is something about him that feels different."

Elizabeth rolled her eyes. "Well I hope you know what you're doing." Elizabeth said as she stormed off into their bedroom.

"Come on Pearls, please!"

"No!" Pearl screamed. "I'm not going over there!"

John sighed with frustration. "I swear you are stubborn just like your mother."

"How would you know?!" Pearl said as she stood up. "You've never even met her so don't you ever say that!" Pearl screamed as she walked up to the top deck. She went over to the edge and sat on a barrel. Why was he doing this? What good would it do if she saw him? Why were they even still here? All she came here was to drop off Will and then leave.

Moments passed and finally John walked over. He sat down next to her. 'Pearls...I'm sorry, but please, please just do this for me." Pearl looked at him. She could see the desire in his eyes. Pearl closed her eyes and sighed. "Alright" she mumbled.

John stood up. "Thank you Pearls." He said as he gave her a hug.

Pearl pulled away. "Let me go change." Pearl said as she walked away.

"Its your little sisters birthday, so wear something nice.!" John called after her. Pearl sighed. "Now I AM going to have to look nice." She said to herself.

~*~

A few minutes later Pearl came up wearing a long sleeved off the shoulder dark purple poet top with a green and gold bodice over it making her cleavage look as if it could suddenly fall out if she ran too fast. With that she wore her long black skirt and boots; with her long black hair out swaying when she walked.

Pearl then stopped half way up the stairs, and then walked back down. She took off her clothes and changed into something else. She didn't want to look like this tonight. She came back up wearing her brown trousers and a big, white shirt. She made sure it was big so you couldn't notice any cleavage. Over that she wore a gray coat with her hair up in a black leather hat.

When John saw her he looked a little unsure. "Pearl? Why are you dressed like that? I can't even tell that you are a girl...except for the voice." He said.

"Well then I just won't speak tonight."

John sighed. "All right lets go."

They walked off into town. It was nightfall and everyone was out having a good time. Once they finally reached the house Pearl felt as if her stomach was going to jump out of her mouth. This was not a good feeling. John knocked on the door with Pearl hiding behind him.

"No one is ever going to believe you are a man if you hide behind me. You have to be brave." He whispered.

Pearl rolled her eyes and stood never to John. Moments later Elizabeth answered the door. She smiled. "You must be John, and who is this?" she asked looking at Pearl.

"Oh this is my friend Peter." John said very casually.

Elizabeth smiled. "Nice to meet you Peter." Elizabeth said. "Please come in." she said while holding the door open. They both walked in and looked around. "Please sit." Elizabeth said. They both sat on the couch waiting.

"I'll be back...I'm going to get Jack." Elizabeth said as she left the room. It was now or never...
