"What!?" Jacklyn stared in disbelief "Marry? Robert Gillette?"
"It's what was planned, dear" Will explained "When your mother turned down Norrington her father was upset, so in order to keep up our respectable family name she decided that her children must marry respectably" Jacklyn just stared, bewildered, tears welling up. She started to dry realizing that her future was inevitable.
"No!! She shrieked, "Never!! I can't marry that pansy's son*!!! She stormed upstairs and started to cry. "I'll-I'll run away!" She said to herself. "There's no way I can marry Gillette!!" With that she started to pack a pillowcase with her favorite things. She packed pair of pants and a shirt, her bandana, and some leftovers from lunch. She looked in the mirror to see if she looked like someone who you would see in downtown Port Royal. She was wearing a simple yellow dress, with no corset, her necklace that was made of the black pearls and ships wheel strung onto a silver cord. She took the pins out of her hair and allowed it to fall down. She decided it would be best to leave in the morning, as it would be dangerous to go downtown in the middle of the night.
Later that night while Will and Elizabeth were talking there was a knock at the door Elizabeth went to answer it and saw Jack standing there.
"Jack?" Elizabeth said looking around worriedly "What are you doing here?
"Come to talk about me daughter, I saw her today at the docks."
"You didn't tell her anything, did you?"
"No Elizabeth, I just walked away. But I spent the rest of the day following her to make sure she was safe. I looked out for her. Do you know how dangerous those streets are? Maybe she'd be better off come with me.
"Jack, you actually sound like a father" Elizabeth smiled, "You were looking out for her and were obviously worried about her safety. I'm sorry we let her go to the docks unsupervised, from now on I will always send a guard or governess to look after her."
"Thank ye. I guess I'll be on me way, Sorry I bothered you."
"Don't worry about it Jack, see you soon." With that Jack returned to the Pearl.
"Maybe we shouldn't have left her Ana." Jack muttered
"What were we supposed to do?" Anamaria stood next to him in his quarters. "We couldn't have taken her with us."
"Why not?"
"Do you remember all the battles we been in since she was born? She would defiantly be dead by now if it weren't for the fact that we left her behind."
"I know, it's just." Anamaria could see the pain in his eyes.
"Goodnight, Jack." She left him in his cabin and went to bed. He just stayed at his desk thinking of what he would teach her if he could. He smiled when he thought of teaching a little one to sail. Then his face fell when he remembered that he wouldn't get to be with her as a child, she'd be eighteen. He finally went to bed, not wanting to think about his daughter anymore.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The next day Jacklyn looked out her window, trying to figure out how to get down. She was on the third story of her mansion. She decided to throw her stuff out first, the only valuable item she was bringing was her necklace. It hit the ground with a dull thump.
"That's not that far." She said before jumping. She landed on her feet and winced in the small amount of pain in ankles.
"I stand corrected" She walked downtown and as soon as she got there she felt a hand on her shoulder and cold metal against her throat.
"Give me yer valuables, Missy"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Don't hurt me. I know it's not the most exiting chapter, but the next one will be better.
