DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
"Miss Turner, I would love to say it's a pleasure." Covington said as he sat down across from her.
"What do you want? If your not arresting me for anything then I suggest you just let us go."
"Us? Oh there is no us…" Eve looked at him as he laughed. "You are very valuable…"
"Valuable?"
"Yes, a ripe treasure…just waiting to be found…"
"Stop with the bloody metaphors…"
"I want you to be my ally, by my side, train my men. I saw the way you moved, it was graceful yet deadly, and I want the same for my men, if you agree to my wishes, I will leave your family be."
"As long as I give you my servitude…"
"Yes."
"No." Eve stood from the table. "I would rather die…"
"Then so be it. But I won't be merciful as I was with your parents. You will travel in brigs and cells for the remainder of yours and Sparrow's days." He got up and slapped her in the face. Eve grabbed her face but then pulled back her arm and punched him in his face.
"That would almost turn me on…" He then grabbed her throat and squeezed. "If I didn't have the urge to kill you…" Covington then threw her up on the table and grabbed her thigh. "I could have my way with you right now…" Eve's face was turning blue, she could barely breathe, her world was beginning to darken. "But I think I'll save that for a rainy day." Covington then threw her onto the floor into the chairs that were occupying it.
Eve got up to her knees and coughed, trying to catch her breath. Covington grabbed her by her hair and walked her to the cells.
When Jon heard the commotion he stood up and saw Eve being dragged by Covington. Covington opened the cell door and threw her in. "Know that your lass sealed your fate. The offer is still on the table. We leave tomorrow afternoon." He then walked out.
Jon kneeled over Eve, "Eve? Are you alright?" Eve turned to her side and coughed.
"I think so…" Jon then helped her sit up.
"What did that bastard say?" Jon asked.
"He wants me to train his men…in return he'll let my family be…"
"What did you say?" Jon asked her.
"No, of course. Now we will be stuck in cell after cell, we will be moved around so much that no one will find us…should I take his offer…I won't do this to you." Eve said as she sat closer to him.
"No, if you give him what he wants he wins Eve, and for me, as long as I am with you…I'll be just fine." Jon then placed his hand on her thigh. Eve took her leg back in an obvious sign of pain. Jon shot her a look of concern. "Eve what did he do to you?"
"Nothing…" Jon tilted her head to the side and saw the bruise begin to form on her face and neck, and assumed the worse.
"Eve what happened?" His tone was serious this time.
"Nothing, he smacked me around a bit, nothing I couldn't handle." He then looked deeper into her eyes. "No, he didn't hurt me like that either." Eve dared not tell him what Covington said to her, Jon would get himself killed.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm fine." Eve then nestled under his arm. "We have to think of something. We can't be stuck here."
"We have no ship Eve. What if you went along with his plan? Long enough so we could make our escape…"
"No, too risky, I don't know what he'd end up doing to you."
"So then we wait, wait for the opportune moment…"
"I've heard that before." Eve said with a smile.
"I know." Soon the pair fell asleep…

Rudely awaken the following morning, Jon and Eve woke with a start.
"Get up!" One of the marines threw a bucket of cold water on them. Shivering they stood up, and hand in hand they stepped out of the cell and were lead down to the docks.
"So have you rethought my offer?" Covington asked Eve before she boarded the ship.
"Yes."
"And?" He asked with intrigue.
"No." Covington grunted and ordered them to be taken to the brig, as their destination was unknown.

"The Pearl is late…" Jack said worried, pacing the docks of Port Charles. "She should be here by now." Jack, Will, Elizabeth, William, and Adam were all scanning the horizon. The Pearl should have docked at the same time as the Forester and Crusade, but the Pearl was yet to be seen, and that sent shivers down Elizabeth's spine.
"Something's wrong…" Elizabeth whispered to herself.
"What?" Jack turned to her and asked.
"I feel it…something went wrong…" Elizabeth said.
"Your just worried about Eve…" Will said trying to soothe her.
"No, in the pit of my stomach…" Elizabeth then stood up, "That's the Pearl!" Elizabeth shouted excitedly. She picked out the black sails and waited for the Pearl to come closer before snatching the spyglass from Adam's hand. Elizabeth glanced the deck of the Pearl and tears began to form in her eyes, "They aren't there…" Elizabeth dropped the spyglass and it came crashing on the floor.
"Charles?" Will went up to his trusted first mate as he came down the plank. "Where's Eve?"
"They got picked up by Covington and his men, they let the Pearl go in exchange for their quiet capture."
Elizabeth sunk to the floor, her oldest son, William, tended to his mother, who was devastated. "What are we going to do?" William asked as he rubbed his mother's shoulders.
"We need to get Laura and Emily. I can't risk them getting caught…" Will said angrily. "We are going to find them Elizabeth." Will said as he bent down in front of her. Elizabeth was in shambles, afraid her daughter was gone.
"He'll kill her…" Elizabeth said quietly. Will then took her in his arms and held her tight as a single tear fell down his cheek.
