"Wha? Tha' can't be! The Turners I know don' 'ave a daughter!" Jack said, giving Julia a confused look.
"Excuse me, but I don't even know who you are! How can I tell you if your at the right place or not?" Julia replied, becoming irritated.
"I know how ter find out," he said looking over Julia's shoulder into the house. "Will! Elizabeth! You there?"
After a few moments, Will came out of the master bedroom followed by Elizabeth. They both stopped dead in their tracks when they saw Jack. Julia turned to the side and looked from Jack to her parents, looking as confused as Jack.
Elizabeth broke the silence saying, "I think we should talk."
"WHA' IN BLOODY 'ELL D'YOU MEAN, WOMAN?!" Jack boomed angrily as he stared at Elizabeth, shocked. Julia looked just as angry only she was staring at Will who was pretending not to be in the conversation.
"Calm yourself, Jack," Elizabeth said. It was clear that she was left to do the explaining since it was her idea in the first place.
"First, ye don' tell yer own daughter about me, the probable reason you two are married in the firs' place and then when I visit twelve years ago ye don' even tell me you 'ave a daughter!" Jack looked at Will who only said, "Wasn't my idea!"
Elizabeth sighed and said, "I didn't want Julia to think all pirates were like you. You're kind, Jack. You're a good man!"
Julia looked at Elizabeth with an angry expression and said, "I know damn well how pirates are!" Jack raised his eyebrows at her language and Elizabeth's mouth dropped in shock.
"There's something else you should know," Will said. Everyone looked at him, awaiting for what he had to say. "When I met Jack, I found out how the curse worked and it was my blood they needed. The blood of a pirate. That means that you have pirate blood as well."
Everyone was now looking at Julia who had a look of disgust and confusion on her face. A pirate? I'm a pirate? She thought. She looked at Elizabeth and said, "What about her? Are there any secrets you'd like to share about her?"
Elizabeth frowned and warned, "Watch your mouth, Julia!"
Jack just kept looking from person to person until he met Will's eyes. Jack started moving his eyebrows up and down and in a strange way which made Will chuckle but he quickly turned it into a cough and tried to seem serious.
"So," he said, glaring at the smiling Jack for making him laugh, "what are you doing here?"
Jack's face turned serious as well and he scooted up in his chair, closer to the rest. "I heard from a friend a' mine that Barbossa had a nephew. I heard that he's lookin' fer vengeance and how he'd going ter do it is kill a person that each me an' Will care about. Now, I thought he would some after Elizabeth but now tha' I see you got a daughter, I think that's who he's after on your part. I was comin' to warn you. He's comin' here first so I got me crew ter come here and wait until he comes so tha' we could catch 'em before they got to close ter Port Royal."
Elizabeth covered her mouth with her hand and Julia looked at the floor. Will smiled slightly and said, "Why would you go through such trouble just to warn us, Jack?"
Jack squirmed in his seat and said, "Yer a good man. Deserve a family an' all…"
Will and Elizabeth smiled. Jack looked up and grinned at them before looking at Julia.
"I can see yer not a eunuch, Will. Glad ter hear it."
Jack stayed the night in their house but as soon as it turned into morning, he left to sneak out of the harbor and back to the Black Pearl again. Julia stayed in her room that whole day and didn't even come out to eat. When Elizabeth checked on her, she just mumbled something like, "Trying to sleep." Or "I don't feel good!"
A few days went by and Jack came up every night to tell them news about what was going on with Barbossa's nephew. And every night he walked to Julia's bedroom door and asked, "Are you alright, luv?" Julia didn't answer. The Governor was a wreck when he heard about what was going on. They made him promise not to tell Commodore Norrington and that Jack and his crew will get rid of them before they even reached the harbor.
What Julia was doing inside her room was reading. She was reading any book she could find about pirates, combat and swordsmanship. She learned the meaning of the Jolly Roger flag and the white flag, she learned about pirate lingo and she even read a book about how to join a pirate crew. All these books were given to her by Will. Now she understood that he was using them as clues. He was waiting for her to ask why he gave her them but she never asked.
One night, Julia went outside the house to the edge of the cliff. She could barely see the Black Pearl way off and nowhere near the harbor. She'd learned a few nights ago that Jack was afraid of being seen by Norrington.
Her eyes traveled to a small spec appearing out in the ocean. It was getting closer and she knew what it was. It was a ship. She waited a few more minutes as it got closer and she was certain that it was a ship. She saw the Jolly Roger flag and everything. She knew who was in it.
She knew what was coming.
