"Robert? What's going on?" Elizabeth asked the man who worked on her husband's crew.
"I have searched for you for many years."
"Why?" Elizabeth wasn't sure what was going on, something, something about him felt safe, but another part of him felt incredibly dangerous.
"You are a link to my past, I am a link to yours."
"So you kill my father? You killed a commodore, do you know the repercussions for an action such as that?" Elizabeth asked breathing heavily.
"Our father." Elizabeth stopped, Elizabeth nearly fainted, Elizabeth was in disbelief.
"What? How can that be?"
"You said it yourself, your father and his many relations with the whores in London, my mother was one of them. I have spent my entire life searching for you, I wondered what made him care for you and not me. To be frank, I am here to make you understand."
"Understand what?" Elizabeth asked.
"Me." Elizabeth looked at him with a new light, if he was telling the truth than this man was her brother, if he was lying then she was in store for trouble. "I want you to come with me Elizabeth, you are my only blood relation left."
"You massacred my father...our father!" Elizabeth shouted.
"He wasn't a father Elizabeth, he was a controlling bastard, he tried it with you and my mother once he found out he had a son."
"He knew?"
"Yes, why do you think he took the position in Port Royal so quickly? It wasn't because your mother had just died, it was because he was running, a scandal such as that would have surely destroyed him." He then walked closer to her.
"Stay back!" Elizabeth jumped back.
"I am not going to hurt you Elizabeth, I won't hurt your children, but if I have to threaten them to make you come with me than so be it. I will leave your children here unharmed, if you go without fuss, if you don't I will be forced to take some sort action." Elizabeth put the sword down.
"No harm to them or my husband, Jack, or Adam."
"Fine, come on Elizabeth." He then took her by the arm and lead her out of the house. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she was lead away to the cove that was a hidden jewel in Port Royal. His ship must have waited for him here for a long time, it was a magnificent ship, it was bigger than the Pearl, it was majestic, and although Elizabeth would hate to admit it, it looked more powerful than the Pearl.

"Elizabeth!" Will called as he, Jack, and Adam came through the door. The house had an eerie silence to it. "Something's wrong." Will said to Jack.
"Get in here!" Adam called from the parlor. Will and Jack sprinted to the parlor and came upon the horrific site.
"Who would do this?" Adam asked.
"Someone who didn't care for him…" Jack said as he lifted the note. "And has the impression that our dear Governor is his or her father."
Will looked at the site and then something came over him. He ran for the stairs, Jack, and Adam behind him. Will stopped when he saw the Commodore's body.
"What happened here?" Will said.
"He must have heard them come in…" Jack said, Will then bolted upstairs and ran into his children's bedroom. It was locked so Will kicked it down.
"William! Eveie!" Will called.
"Dad we're in here!" William called. Will ran to the closet, locked again.
"Stand away from the door!" Will kicked down the door again. William and Eveie burst through and into his arms.
"Dad, he came for mom!" William said as he hugged his father. Eveie was shaken up, she was quiet not saying a word.
"Eveie, darling, are you alright?" Eveie didn't say a word she just cried. Will then looked up at Jack. "Take her." Jack then picked up Eveie and held her close to his vest.
"William I want you to tell me everything." Will said.
"Mom told us to stay here unless one of you came for us…then while we were in here…I heard them arguing in your room…he took mom…"
"What was his name?" Will asked.
"Robert."
"Did he say why?" Will asked, angrily, knowing who it was.
"I'm not sure." William then burst into tears. Will hugged him tightly.
"Alright, Jack we are leaving now." Will then picked William up and they all headed out the door, careful to shield the children from the horrors that were below them.

"Will, how are they?" Jack asked after Will had returned from putting his children in bed.
"William, looks ok, but Eveie, Eveie is shattered, she isn't talking. Her and Elizabeth held a close bond…"
"Will, she didn't leave struggling." Adam said.
"What are you getting at?"
"She left voluntarily. Besides the obvious signs of violence, nothing was out of place, something tells me that Elizabeth went because she felt no threat."
"Or maybe she was protecting her children?" Will said annoyed.
"No, she would have fought until she died for her children. Will, that note had more of a significance than you know. Elizabeth would never tell you this secret."
