(A/N) Here it is! Enjoy! BTW HAPPY ST.PATRICKS DAY!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

"What secret?" Will asked. All three of them sat down. The rocking waves that carried the ship, all three ships, were of no comfort.

"Do you remember what she said, when she was under the curse?" Adam said.

"Vaguely."

"Elizabeth's mother became very sick when Elizabeth was only eight, for two years she cared for her mother, while her father did nothing. Elizabeth's father spent no time with his wife during her final days, instead he spent it with others."

"Whores?" Jack asked.

"Yes, their was speculation that he had fathered children, but no one could prove it. Once he took the position in Port Royal his worries went away, but their was one thing he didn't count on."

"Elizabeth." Will said.

"She remembered her father coming home late those nights when her mother was violently thrashing and turning in bed. Elizabeth remembers the women she would see with her father, Elizabeth was young, but in no way blind, she knew exactly what her father was up to, and hated him. Elizabeth and her mother were very close, when she got sick, her mother began to lose her mind, she did not know who Elizabeth was, or even who she was."

"She never told me this." Will said.

"There are certain things she keeps very close to her heart, her mother and I were just that. I assume you didn't know about me."

"Right."

"Well, the note, sins of the father. That was the same exact wording that was used on a letter sent to Elizabeth when she was about ten, just before they left for Port Royal, someone was trying to tell her then. Now, someone has her, someone who is her sibling, and by the writing, just by the way it was written, she has brother. Now whether or not he is going to hurt her is beyond me, he probably made a deal with her. Now who is this Robert Fallon?"

"Member of my crew, signed on just before we left for Port Royal." Will said.

"Did he have any special interest in Elizabeth?"

"Now that I think about it, yes…I should have known, I should have thrown him off my ship when I had the chance." Will felt discouraged.

"Will, I am going to ask around my ship, see what anyone knows." Adam said reassuringly.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Elizabeth sat in her room, thinking, was he telling her the truth. She knew her father was not an honorable man, he betrayed his wife in her hour of need, and as far as Elizabeth knew, the betrayal went on long before that, and betrayed his daughters trust. Was this Robert her brother? Her blood? Her connection to everything and anything? So many possibilities and outcomes were before her, none made sense.

"Elizabeth?" Robert walked into the room. "Are you feeling alright?" He asked. "I have a doctor on board if you are not well."

"I'm fine, thank you." Elizabeth looked into his eyes, they had a cold feeling, but one that she wasn't scared of, his eyes were trusting.

"I want you to know that I do not plan to keep you here forever, I will return you to your family. I have a home in Nassau, the eastern shore, scarcely inhabited, we will sit and talk there, I want you to know everything." He said as he sat down next to her.

"Why wait?"

"I want you to understand, understand me, before you know the truth."

"That makes no sense at all."

"I know that. Elizabeth I am giving you the freedom to walk anywhere on this ship, my crew has their instructions, if any one of them insists on bothering you, tell me and I will handle them myself. You are my sister Elizabeth, I am your brother, you can trust me."

"Trust is something earned."

"True, but, I want you to know I won't hurt you, that is not my intention. Elizabeth follow me." He then took her hand and lead her upstairs to his cabin.

"Sit." He then brought her a box. "Open it."

Elizabeth looked at him with hesitance. She carefully opened the lid and looked inside. Their was a small portrait of a woman, she was beautiful.

"Was that your mother?" Elizabeth asked as she lifted the charcoal picture.

"Yes."

"She was beautiful." Elizabeth then looked closer in the box and gasped as she pulled out a ring. "Bastard…" Elizabeth began to cry, it was her mother's engagement ring.

"Do you now know for certain? I am telling you the truth."

"My mother looked for this ring when I was five, I remember helping in the search…the bastard…so he gave this to your mother as, what, payment?"

"Yes. Elizabeth the affair that my mother and your father had was long before your mother's illness. You are twenty eight, am I right?"

"Yes." Elizabeth said as she twirled the ring on her finger.

"I am twenty seven, going on twenty eight, shortly." Elizabeth was in shock.

"So while my mother…me…you…" Elizabeth got up and paced the room.

"Elizabeth, I know this is a lot to handle all at once, but let me assure you, any questions you have, I can answer."

"Is their any others?" Elizabeth asked.

"No, as far as I know."

"Why did you wait so long?"

"I needed time to grow, settle my anger with you, and redirect it to him. He left my mother with a child that he didn't love, didn't care for, he was the one I was angry with. I needed to acquire a ship, a crew, then formulate a plan. Once I found you were going to Port Royal, and needed crew members, I jumped on the chance, and here we are."

Elizabeth slowly sat back down in her chair, "I can't believe it…for so long I wished for a brother…a sister, someone who was just like me, someone who understood me because we were just that close…and now I have it, yet, I don't know him." Elizabeth put her head in her hands.

Robert got up and kneeled down in front of her and picked her head up. "Elizabeth, all you have to do is give me a chance, I am not a terrible human being."

(A/N) Elizabeth going back and forth, may be confusing, but that is where she is right now confused. So what you all think about Robert? Like him, hate him, good guy or bad guy? Let me know, I'd love to know what you think of him.
