DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
"Be safe…" Elizabeth whispered in Eve's ear as she hugged her.
"I will." Eve then turned to her father. "Thank you…" Eve then looked away, she felt so ashamed.
Will took her in his arms and hugged her. "Just be careful, I'll know where to find you…"
"I love you…"
"I love you too." Will then let her go, he was trusting her with Jack.
"Ready?" Eve said as she turned to Jack.
"Always." Jack tried to be light with her. It had been a month since they had last seen Jon, and Eve was heartbroken, she had lost her best friend, her husband, all at once…and Jack was surprised that Eve, seemingly handled it pretty well…but Jack knew that she was in a lot of pain.
They were walking to Gabriel's ship. Later the same night that Jon had left, he came by looking for Eve. He was worried when she hadn't shown up earlier that night. Jack and Will then sat him down and told him what they were going to do. Jack and Eve would help him find his sister, in return Gabriel would keep Eve safe.
XXXXXXXXXX
Gabriel was finishing putting together Jack and Evelyn's room. Gabriel did not want to place Jack or Evelyn in the crew's quarters. They had both been so kind to him, so since their was only one private cabin, besides his own, he gave it to the both of them. He especially wanted to make it comfortable for Evelyn. She was truly heartbroken, her husband had gone crazy, and left, and since Gabriel knew about Evelyn's past, he really felt bad for her. Placing two quilts, one on each bed, he turned around, the room was clean and tidy, he approved.
"Captain sir, there here…" The designated first mate said as he popped his head in the room.
"Thank you." Gabriel took in a deep breath before leaving the room. Walking on deck he saw Evelyn and Jack, and approached Evelyn with caution, he wasn't sure how she was feeling.
"Evelyn, Jack, let me show you to your quarters." Gabriel nodded. He swore he could cut the tension with a knife. Not that any tension was directed towards him, he knew Evelyn felt awkward around him, for what reason he wasn't entirely sure, but he figured it had something to do with Jon, and the situation that surrounded the three of them.
"This way…" Gabriel took Evelyn's bag that she had in her hand. As Gabriel reached for it he noticed she wasn't wearing her wedding band.
"Gabriel mate, I wanted to thank you, you didn't have to do this." Jack said as they made their way below deck.
"No problem, besides you are the ones' helping me." Gabriel then stopped and opened a door. "Here, you are going to have to share."
"That's no problem." Jack said. He then looked at Eve. "No problem, right?" Jack said trying her to get her to open her mouth.
"Right, thank you." Evelyn looked up and said to Gabriel.
"I'll leave you to get settled." Gabriel then nodded and quietly shut the door behind him.
Evelyn sat down on her bed, and looked around the room, and stopped at Jack. "How can you handle it?" Evelyn asked Jack.
"What's that?" Jack said as he sprawled out on the bed.
"Your son…how can you be so calm? I mean he has every intention in hurting me…maybe you too."
"Because he is my son, I know that if I let him go, it would be better for all of us."
"But you love him."
"Aye, I do…but, keeping you safe is more important right now."
"But he is your son, I'm just…I'm nothing…"
"Got that wrong there missy, you are my…let's put it this way…adopted…no not the word…ok…" Jack the sat up and faced her. "I have known you all your life, and I treat you and respect you like a daughter, so therefore, you are kind of like my daughter…in a way, at least that's how I always thought of you."
"Considering how bloody messed up my own family is…" Eve grumbled. "How could Laura and William leave without saying goodbye?" Tears started to glaze her eyes.
"They left because they thought you had your own demons to work out, and that had nothing to do with the curse. William left because he would not forgive himself, if he saw you and would be angry, and Laura, well she's having a baby, and Jacob left with her as soon as we arrived, giving her no time, but she told me she would write to you."
"I just am so angry with myself, I couldn't see what Jon was going through…"
"Eve stop right there. You are not to blame for him. Both of you went through the same exact thing, I think you had the rougher share, Jon just couldn't handle it. And you did…there is nothing you could have done. When he came back he was not open, he wouldn't talk about it, he was angry, he was lost even before you lost your son." Eve then slumped back in the bed. Jack made sense, Jon was gone, Jon had never come home, it just pained her …scared her to realize, that if she hadn't gotten Jack and her father's attention when she was locked in the room, what Jon might have done to her.
"Your right." Eve then closed her eyes as tears slid down her face.
"You don't have to give him up entirely…Jon, the one you knew, can still be in your heart, you can still love…"
"I know…" Eve cut him off. "It's just going to be so hard to pick up the pieces, of what used to be my life…"
"I know you had Jon to help you, but listen luv, I'm not going anywhere, you can always count on old Jack to help you, and always be right by your side…" Jack then patted her on the knee. "Now, I'm going to make sure Gabe knows his way around the globe, Madrid is a long ways away, and to end up heading in the wrong direction…well I'd have to kill the boy…now you stay here, relax, unpack, and when you feel up to it, join us on deck."
"Thank you Jack."
"No problem luv…" Jack then shut the door behind him. Eve then got up and opened her sack. She took out the few clothes she packed, figuring she would buy more when she reached various ports. She packed four white blouses, three pairs of black pants, two corsets, one red, the other black, and her boots. What Eve didn't know was that what she wore was how people knew it was her, the corset outside the shirt, I guess was a trademark, that's why only few recognized her when, in Nassau she wore dresses. But the days of wearing dresses were over for her. Next Eve took out her sword and pistol, and laid it on the bed. Next she removed a small bundle and un raveled it…inside was her wedding band, it would be difficult to let this go, but she knew she would, tonight, she would let it go, drop it in the ocean…she had let her son go…she would definitely let Jon go.
(A/N) Was Jon crazy? Or was it somethign else? O I have to give you all another chappie!
