Bill rubbed his eyes the sun was really bright in his face and the ground was soft, and he felt Cleo on his side. Slowly he got up, and looked around, it must have been noon or one, because the sun was high in the sky, and they weren't wet. Cleo's wound in her shoulder was still a little raw but she seemed she was going to live. He stood up and began to look for something to eat, he found a few coconuts lying on the ground so he picked them up and began to walk back to where Cleo was laying and he heard a scream, and began to run back, and slowed as he approached it,
"God damn it!" Cleo shouted, as she had just rolled over on the hurt shoulder,
"You shouldn't be doing that!" He sighed as he held a coconut to her, and she sat up and took it with the good arm, and he sat next to her, "Did it hurt that much when you rolled on it?"
"No not really, it was just a shock, its only a lil scrape off of the shoulder, Brophy doesn't aim that well," She shrugged, and dug her dagger into the coconut and craved out a little hole, and Bill did the same,
"Are we ever going to get out of here?" He asked,
"You ask too many questions Turner," She began to drink the milk from the coconut, "not rum but good enough," A silence fell between them for a few moments, but Cleo soon broke it, "What really happened to Abigail?"
"I don't know," Bill sighed heavily, "I got knocked out by the pirates attacking that night and when I woke up she was dead,"
"Don't worry, mate there's plenty more girls," She shrugged,
"Not like her," He sighed,
"You shouldn't dwell on such bad things try to think what makes you happy now," She sighed, and Bill just looked at her, "Pirates have feelin's too,"
Will looked on as the twins slept. Natalie didn't seem hurt at all, but the little girl. She had a couple bruises on her arms and legs and a cut across her back and on her shoulder that was pretty deep but could heal easily, and she had a black eye. She looked pretty with blond hair reaching down her back, and she had pale skin showing that she didn't do much work outside. The girl was sleeping in another room besides the twins and Will got up slowly so he didn't wake the girls, and he went into the next room where the girl slept. She was still lying there sleeping, which he was very happy for. She stirred a bit and he came closer to her bed. Suddenly her eyes flew open and she starred up at Will,
"Don't worry I wont hurt you," He said softly, she quickly got up and backed into the wall behind her with the sheets coming up to her chin, he slowly came closer, she cringed with every step he took, "I promise I wont hurt you, what's your name?" She starred blankly at him, but the sheets still came up to her chin, "How old are you," The girl still didn't answer, but the sheets were now down to her belly, reveling some blood across the front, Will looked at it closer and she looked down and then back at him with a scared look on her face,
"Here," He showed her the bandages and rum that lay by her bed, "I can fix that for you,"
"No!" The girl shouted, and the sheets went back up around her chin,
"We have to fix those, otherwise it might get infected," Will sighed coming closer to the bed,
"'Romise ya wont 'urt me ri'ht?" the little girl asked looking up at him with dark brown eyes,
"I promise," He smiled at her, and sat down on the bed and she slowly lowered the sheets,
"Me 'ame's 'earl," She whispered, "but 'ey wouldn't call me 'at,"
"What did they call you?" He asked and put some rum on the cut and she made a slight cry, "Its alright,"
"'Unch 'erson," She looked down at the now wrapped part of her stomach,
"There you go, all nice and clean," Will smiled at her, and then frowned, "Why did they call you that?"
"Cause I wa' 'ere whe' 'ey were mad," She looked up at him,
"Didn't you say you're name was Pearl?" He asked, and she just nodded,
"Weren't you scared?" Naomi looked at her sister with amazement,
"Nope, not one bit," Natalie announced proudly, there was a knock at the door and both girls jumped and Naomi gave her sister a skeptical look, "Well maybe a little,"
"Girls, there's supper in the galley if you want some," Will opened the door and smiled at the girls,
"Alright," They answer together,
"Natalie, when you were on Brophy's ship did you see that little girl?" He asked looking at her,
"No, I stayed in the cabin the whole time," She answered, "Why?"
"I was just wondering," He smiled, "Alright girls come on let's eat,"
"So then I said that he was bloody crazy!" Cleo laughed, the sun was beginning to set and the sky was darkening,
"What did he say?" Bill laughed along with her,
"He just walked away all mad," She smiled and they both turned their head to the sunset. They gave each other a quick glance, and looked away quickly, "You know Turner bein' on this island isn't so bad with you here,"
"I would've thought you would've killed me by now if you thought otherwise," He smiled and looked at her, she was still looking at the sunset,
"The only thin' 'bout bein' a pirate that's good are the sunsets on the water," She sighed, "The only beauty worth livin', you know...." She was broken off by his kiss, and quickly she began to catch on, and she broke apart, "I'm not Abigail,"
"I know," He smiled, and kissed her again, and she put her arms around his neck and felt the sandy ground hit her back. Cleo smiled to herself and put Bill on the ground with her on top,
"Do you remember our lil' bet?" She smiled wickedly at the flattened Bill on the ground,
"How could I forget?" His smiled matched hers, she drew nearer as if she was going to kiss him but instead went to his ear and whispered,
"Good,"
"God damn it!" Cleo shouted, as she had just rolled over on the hurt shoulder,
"You shouldn't be doing that!" He sighed as he held a coconut to her, and she sat up and took it with the good arm, and he sat next to her, "Did it hurt that much when you rolled on it?"
