Sapphire leaned against the doorway to Rachel's cabin. She was lying on her bed, and Sapphire didn't know if she was sleeping or not. Rachel's foot gave a small twitch and she knew she was sleeping, and she felt an arm go around her waist,
"How's Rachel for a girl's name?" Sparrow whispered in her ear,
"No," She shook her head, "she wouldn't be fit to have that name," There was a little silence,
"Have ya talked to your da yet?" He asked, and she shook her head, "Well he's up on deck," he kissed the top of her head and left, and she sighed heavily and went towards the deck,
"Ya killed half of me crew!" Jackie shouted at Jack as she steered the ship,
"No Keller killed half of you're crew, along with the navy to be exact," He defended himself,
"I don't care who they were commanded by or what their names were I'm holdin' ya responsible!" She finalized to herself,
"Now listen," He turned to her, "If you really want to blame someone blame Will, cause he's the one who got us into this mess, not me,"
"Alright," She sighed heavily, "but I still hold you somewhat responsible for killin' half of me crew!" She looked sideways at him and he was looking backwards, "What is it now?"
"You were suppose to turn back there,"
"She hasn't even talked to me," Will sighed, and place both of his hands on the railing of the ship,
"Will, give her time," Elizabeth touched his shoulder, "That's all she needs, and you need to calm down and look at the bright side of this,"
"What's the bright side?" He looked at her,
"Will," She said warningly,
"I'm sorry," He tilted his head back, "its just...."
"You haven't seen her in so long and you feel as if she's being taken away already," She shook her head, "You've said that a million times,"
"I know," He sighed,
"It's not going to change anything," She looked at him intently, he didn't answer, "trust me its not, she's already under enough stress without you putting more on her,"
"What if she leaves the Pearl?" His eyes narrowed in the setting sun's rays, "What if we never see her again?"
"What if we go with her?" Elizabeth shrugged,
"What do you mean?" He looked up at her,
"I mean what if she lives by Maria and Tim," She shrugged again, "we could live by them, Will, we have enough money to live out the rest of our lives in peace and quiet, not sailing the sea any more, we're getting too old."
"Too old?" His lips had a playful smile on them, "Too old to do this?" He moved in to kiss her when a small grunt interrupted them and they broke apart to find Sapphire standing there waiting patiently,
"I'll leave you two," Elizabeth nodded and went towards the other side of the ship, and Sapphire took her spot next to him and they both stood there looking out to the setting sun. They stood in silence waiting for the other to speak,
"Sapphire I'm sorry," He sighed, "I should've been more understanding of you wanted, I just was getting to know and now..."
"You feel as though I'm being taken from you too soon," She smiled, "I know mum's told me," She sighed, "But I'm sorry too, I should've been a little less harsh on you that night, I understand why you left me with grandfather, and I don't hold it against you,"
"Good," He nodded, and they hugged for a short while and spilt, "So decided what to do next?"
"Sparrow and I think it would be a good idea if we move close to Maria and Tim," She nodded, "That way we could see them more and you wouldn't have to travel so far to visit us,"
"Actually, you're mother and I, well you're mother was thinking that maybe we could live by you and Tim," He smiled, and she smiled back,
"I would like that,"
Rachel woke up, feeling numb. She had killed someone, and not only someone, but her brother. What was she going to tell her parents? Was she going to be hanged? Would her family disown her and not love her any more?
"So ya killed someone," Sparrow walked in the room, and she just looked down, "Ah, don't worry, love you're first kill feels strange but you'll get used to it,"
"He was my second kill," She whispered,
"Well first five is a bit strange," He shrugged, and there was a quick silence, "so ya goin' back to Port Royal?"
"Yes," She answered plainly,
"Alright," He nodded, "We'll be there in two days," he started to leave,
"Mr. Sparrow?" She shouted, and he turned to look at her, "What will I tell my parents?"
"Tell 'em that you're brother was over thrown by pirates, and Keller killed him, and Sapphire died," He answered,
"What about how I got back?" She asked another question,
"You were able to barter a passage off from Tourtuga by Captain Jack Sparrow,"
