Chapter 5
Reunited
"You're sure this is the course we must make?" Edmond demanded. "Absolutely." Will sighed looking out the windows of the Captain's cabin. "If you're lying to me I'll make sure your hung when we get back to port." Edmond growled. "This is Elizabeth's and my own daughter why would I lie to you when we're going to find her?" Will demanded. Edmond scowled but didn't respond. Will joined his wife on deck. "Look there it is! Perhaps Edmond ought to stay on board and guard his ship." Elizabeth said. "Precisely what I was thinking my dear." Will kissed her on the cheek. "If you let us take a life boat to shore your ship and men will be safe from attack." Will told Edmond as they drew closer to shore. "Fine as long as I rid myself of you." Edmond barked orders to his men to put the anchor down and send out a lifeboat.
Will helped Elizabeth into the lifeboat. "Thank you Edmond we will pay for the passage here when we return." Will said. "See that you do return." Edmond said with a sneer on his face. Edmond raised the sails and the anchor of the ship and Elizabeth and Will watched as Edmond's ship sailed off. "Well Will I hope you're right about this." "I'm never wrong. And I've got a few gold pieces to get us off and if you wanted you could get a job as a singer." Will said half teasingly. "I hope not only to pay our passage back." Elizabeth shuddered. Will placed a hand on her shoulder for a second and then began to row to shore. They reached Shore by mid day. They passed a couple of drunks before getting into the Inn.
Will found Jack right away. Jack was kind of hard to miss. "Will! I'm so glad you're here! Let me go get Kerri and Angel." Jack said giving him a hand. "She's safe then?" Elizabeth asked. "Oh yes we rescued her from Norington." Jack said. "Where is she?" Elizabeth asked frantic. "Angel and she was just coming down the stairs so let us see." Jack scanned the room and led them to a stair case where Angel was kissing Kerri. Elizabeth gasped Kerri pulled away and slapped him. "Don't you ever do that again. It's one thing to be with pirates and its quite another to kiss them and that is absolutely disgusting. MOM!" Kerri cried out rushing to Elizabeth. "Oh my girl are you all right?" Elizabeth cried giving her a hug. Elizabeth and Will and Kerri sat in a corner with Jack discussing the nights plans. Kerri would share a cabin with Elizabeth and Will and in the morning Jack would take them back to France. Kerri caught Angel's eye and smirked a little bit before blowing him a kiss and walking up the stairs with her parents.
