Will walked up the gangplank to get on the Pearl, it was quiet and only the music and shots could be heard from the island. He could feel something wasn't right, and as his eyes adjusted to the moonlight he saw a figure lying on the deck,
"Told you nothin' is wrong." Jack looked around and looked to where Will was looking, "Except that," They both went over to the figure, "Ana Maria," Jack whispered, and he knelt down next to her, and looked at the place where she was hit,
"Papa," A little voice from the cabins reached Will's ear and he turned and saw Naomi crying from the stairs of the cabins, and he hurried over to where she was and scoped her up in her arms, "Papa," She cried again as he hugged her,
"Its alright, Naomi." He rubbed her back and after a while drew her away slowly from him, "Where's you're sister?"
"S...Sh... She was taken," She wiped her tears away from her face, as Will set her down to look at her,
"Taken?" He narrowed his eyes, "By whom?"
"Pirates!" She started to cry again, and Will pulled her into another hug, "One was a woman, and they hit Ana Maria, and she fell, I told her not to go up on deck! I told her it was a bad idea, papa I really did!"
"It's alright I believe you," He patted her back again trying to calm her,
"I'm sorry," She wiped her tears on his shoulder and her pulled her away from him again,
"Naomi its not you're fault Natalie was taken, do you understand that?" He asked her,
"Yes, papa." She nodded, and he pulled her in again,
"I promise I'll get her back," He whispered into her ear, "I promise,"
"I 'ink 'at's fifteen for you," Cleo slurred, "'n twenty for me! I win!"
"'at's 'ot possible!" Bill's head shot up from his arms, "I 'ad mo'e 'an 'at,"
"Trus' me ya didn'! She smiled, and began to get up, "Co'e on we 'ave to get ba'k to the Pea'l o' me da will 'ave ya 'ead,"
"W'y my 'ead?" He slowly got up on his legs that weren't very supportive right now,
"Cause you'r 'e boy!" They began to lean on each other for support, and they went out to the streets where the sun was just peaking on the horizon and pirates were beginning to sleep in the street, "W'ere is Ms. Abigail anyway?"
"She died," Bill burst into laughter and Cleo soon followed,
"'at's quiet 'ad really!" She looked at him as her giggle subsided,
"W'at 'appened, to Gabe?" His laughter died down too,
"I tol' ya 'e's workin' for Brop'y, stupi' lil' idiot 'elped me escape!" They burst into laughter again, "But 'e's as good as dead anyway,"
"Cleo, Bill!" A voice from the Black Pearl called from,
"William!" Cleo called back and waved to him, "So goo' to see ya!"
"Fat'er!" Bill waved at him also, and their giggles began to take them over again. Will walked over to them unsurely,
"Come on, Bill we have to go on the Pearl and leave now," His voice urgent, "We've been waiting for you both,"
"'at's funny cause I t'ough' we were leavin' in the mornin'," Bill looked at his father and then at Cleo and they both started to giggle again,
"Are you drunk William?" Will looked at his son sternly,
"I 'ink so," He laughed,
"Cleo, why did you let him do that?" He turned to her,
"Well I was jus' tryin' to 'elp a lil bit," She held up fingers so he could see the 'lil bit',
"Come on, you're father is waiting for you." Will grabbed each of their arms and led them to the captain's quarters. Jack looked busy with some others planning out the rest of the way to the island, he looked up from the map,
"Cleo jus' in time," He held out his hands and beckoned her to come over, Will released her. Her legs were unsteady and she wobbled over to him, she was about to fall when Jack caught her,
"Alright everyone out," The crew left, Will and Bill stayed,
"Found them coming towards the ship," Will spoke,
"At least they remembered where the ship was," Jack shrugged, and Cleo straightened herself out in her father's grasped the best she could,
"Really fat'er we're 'ot 'at drunk" She slurred,
"I mig't be." Bill shrugged, and Will glared at him, "w'at?"
"Cleo you are to stay below for the rest of the trip to Port Royal," Jack finalized,
"'at's 'ot fair!" Cleo shouted, "The famous 'ack Spar'w can't let 'is daugh'er drink a lil bit but 'e can 'ave all bloody rum 'e wants, yet 'is daugh'er can't 'ave any? 'et me ask' ya 'is fat'er can s'e 'ave any fun at all, or does s'e 'ave to live 'er life in fear like 'er fat'er?" Jack looked down as Cleo released herself from him and she began to walk towards the door,
"Come on Cleo I'll help you and Bill to you're rooms," Will helped Bill and Cleo out the door and into their room,
Natalie woke with a start. She was lying on something comfortable. The room was dark, and scary for a nine year old, everything was in a black shade, and no one was in the room with her. She brought her knees up to her chest and started to cry.
"Papa," She sobbed, "Mama, I'm sorry." She rocked back and forth hoping the dark would turn into light and she could see everything. She closed her eyes and wished. Natalie heard the door open and she opened her eyes and saw some light come into the room. The same woman from last night stood there smiling down at the girl,
"Thought you might like some light," She smiled evilly, and opened a window in the room, and she turned back to her, "So you're Natalie Turner?" She nodded slowly, "Do you think I'm goin' to hurt you?" Natalie didn't answer,
"I want to go back home!" She cried,
"I'm sure ya do girly," The woman answered, "I'm afraid we haven't had a proper introduction, Ms. Turner, I'm Captain of this ship, Captain Brophy,"
"I heard my father and Captain Sparrow talk about you." She pressed her lips together,
"Aye, I bet ya did," Brophy outstretched her hand, "Now hand over the necklace lil one, I need it,"
"What necklace?" She looked at her confused,
"The ruby one," Her hand still in front of her, and Natalie starred at it unsure of what to do, "Don't play Ms. Turner,"
"I don't have it," She shook her head, "Cleo does,"
"Told you nothin' is wrong." Jack looked around and looked to where Will was looking, "Except that," They both went over to the figure, "Ana Maria," Jack whispered, and he knelt down next to her, and looked at the place where she was hit,
