A/N hey, thanks for the reviews. Enjoy....

The women took Emily by the hand, making her walk up some stairs. The place- looked familiar to Emily but her tiny mind couldn't place where she was.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"So Ana, where did you disappear to when – after you – (Steve held open the door to the house open for Ana) you ran away?" Ana walked through, slightly scared about what she was about to see, and though she would never admit it, she wished Jack was with her instead of a man she didn't know.
"Tortuga. Pirate town. I left because no one would help me. You don't know what hap- did you hear that?" Ana and Steve both stood still, listening as cries came from the attic. Steve went pale as he recognised one of the cries, his eyes going wide in realization.
Both Ana and Steve quietly walked up to the attic, the door to the room was wide open and both of them could see inside. Ana felt like she was going to be sick as she saw what was happening before her, and had to stop Steve rushing in and doing more damage.
"Wait."
"For what, until that bitch kills my daughter?" Ana shook her head. She really wished he wasn't here to see this.
"No. Wait until the opportune moment. When she wont get hurt and-" Ana stopped mid sentence and looked up as a cry of anguished came from the room.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Claire was still crying and Jack had no idea what to do. The only person he had helped when crying was Ana and that was because situations between them were different. He felt like a spare part, watching but unable to help. Eventually he bent down and lifted Claire's face so she would look at him.
"Ok, we're going to go find Ana and yer husband and get them t' help find 'er savvy?" Claire nodded and Jack held out his hand to help her up. She was shaking so badly that she nearly fell over; Jack had to help keep her upright.
It took them longer then it should have to get to the house, as Claire was still crying and finding it hard to walk up the hill. Jack was slowly losing his patients with her, although he tried not to let it show.
As they got up to the road leading to the front door, they both heard a cry coming from inside. Momentarily forgetting that he had his hand around Claire's arm he went to run inside nearly pulling her over.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Steve rushed inside the attic room, picking up Emily as soon as he got to her. Ana walked warily over to the lady lying on the floor.
"Leave her, we're getting out of here." Ana looked confused.
"We can't just leave her."
"Why not. Look at the place, look what she's doing. Come on I'm getting my daughter out of here, even if your not coming." With that Steve walked out of the door, with the shaking little girl in his arms. Ana stared at the women for a moment, before looking around and running after Steve.
Just as they got downstairs Jack and Claire were walking through the front door. Jack let go of Claire's arm, as she ran towards her husband and daughter. Jack looked up as Ana walked towards him, trying not to show how much she was shaking. Jack kissed the top of her head, and was about to say something when they heard a crash come from upstairs followed by an angry voice.
"WHERE IS THE GIRL? I WILL HAVE HER."
All of them look at each other, and without saying a word ran out of the house. As they got down the road, and the screams coming from the attic were getting quieter, they stopped running and started to walk; nobody had said a word yet... so Jack decided to break the silence.
"What was in there?" his voice was hoarse but stern, Ana recognised it as the voice he used when shouting orders to the crew.
"A mad cow, that wanted to cut my daughter up." This caused Claire to start sobbing again. Jack rolled his eyes, as much as he was trying to hide it, his annoyance at Claire was begging to show through, and if matters had been different Ana would have laughed... but she just thumped him lightly on the arm instead.
"And you just left her there, to get someone else?" Steve looked at Jack coldly.
"And what do you suggest I should have done. Said 'hold on a moment Emily, daddy has to help the mad women up?'" This caused Jack to growl in frustration. He was really begging to hate the man, even if he had only known him for less then a day.
"No, but you could of tied her up, or knocked her out or something. Then gone and told someone what was going on so she couldn't hurt anyone else!" Steve stopped and looked at Jack, a horrible expression on his face.
"I don't care about anyone else. All I care about is whether or not my daughter and wife are ok. If she doesn't hurt them then it doesn't affect me. Now I would appreciate it if you would let us return to our home. Come by tomorrow if you're still around, I don't think gests will be appropriate at the moment." As Emily started to whimper in his arms, he took Claire's hand and stormed off in the direction of their house leaving Jack and Ana standing they're speechless... well for a moment.
"The cheek of him. How can he just take her off like that, as if she was his property or something and nothing to do with us – me." Ana corrected herself after realizing Claire didn't really have anything to do with Jack.
"Well he's an arrogant man. And she's well..." Jack didn't want to finish his sentence, as he knew it might upset Ana if she knew what he thought about her sister.
"Can we go back to the Pearl for a bit?" Jack grinned.
"Thought ye'd never ask luv." Ana rolled her eyes.
"Jack..." Jack gave her the puppy eyes.
"What?" he asked innocently. He knew that she knew that when she had said could they go back to the pearl talking wasn't the thing he had in mind.
"We need to figure out what to do about this... women." Jack nodded, but didn't say another word as he began to walk back to his precious ship.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Jack sat at his desk, his feet up on the desk, watching Ana, with his eyebrows raised.
"No." Ana made a whining noise.
"Why not?"
"Because something might no probably will, go wrong." Ana grinned.
"Aww you care."
"Yes I care. You know I care. Just don't go spreading it. I have a reputation you know." Ana laughed.
"I'm still going to do it you know." Jack sighed.
"Can't ye get your sister's husband to use himself as bait. It won't matter if he dies. Oww." Ana hit him, but agreed with him at the same time. She didn't like her sister's husband anymore then Jack did.
Ever since they got back to the Black Pearl Ana Maria and Jack had been arguing. Ana wanted to use herself as bait for the women, to try and get her and find out what she was doing. But Jack didn't like the thought of Ana getting hurt and maybe no probably getting killed.
"I don't think Steve will agree to it." Jack shrugged and walked over to Ana putting his arms around her.
"Make him then, tell him – come in." Jack and Ana broke apart as Claire came into view. "Claire, what are you doing here?" Ana looked at her sister curiously.
"I wanted to say sorry for Steve's behaviour towards the two of you before. He was in shock and acted rudely." Jack snorted at this remark but Claire carried on. "And I have some news..."
