Chapter 4
It seemed after two hours of hunting however willie did not know where Marie was at all. It had been a hunch. Now they were fight against the clock.
"Where are yer lass?" Jack yelled.
Then he saw it. A house. It was on fire. At the foot of it was standing Richards. Jack remembered the man from his childhood. His fathers so called best friend.
In Richards hand he was holding something. Walking to jack he gave to him.
"She a sweet little thing Jack, most entertaining." Jack was heart broken as he saw his little girl's necklace in his hand.
"Marie," he whispered wishing with all his heart it wasn't happening. His wife and now his Little sparrow. "You sick git!" said Jack running pasts him in to the burning house.
"Marie," he cried choking and spluttering. "Where are yer luv!"
Running up the stairs he saw his girl in the one big room. She was naked, bleeding and had past out. When he got to her however she woke.
"Papa!" she said clinging to him for dear life.
"It's alright me darling!" said Jack in to her hair softly. "It's alight me little luv, I'm here now. But I have to get you out of here." letting go of her hesitantly he wrapped his coat around her shoulders but was shocked to see the stated of her small frame.
All over it were belt mark were that monster had hit her with the buckle. There bruises all over her. Instead of the beautiful young (almost) teenager he had waved off just a few hours ago, here stood a vulnerable little girl.
Marie had been so scared.
Her cut from a year ago look inflamed.
"I need you to be really brave for me lass, can yer do tha' for Papa, me little Sparrow?" asked Jack fighting back his tears of aguish. His daughter had been raped.
"I'll try," she choked out through her sobs.
"Good lass I swear it'll be alright," wrapping his coat round her tight father and daughter fought the flames together. Keeping low to the ground somehow, though no one knew how, father and daughter made it out.
"Jack you've got her!" said Ana.
"Like you care!" Jack shouted. Cradling his once again unconscious daughter. She was pale and weak.
"Luv," he said murmuring to Marie willing her to wake up.
"Jack that's unfair," said Ana through her tears going to her daughter's side.
"I'm sorry ok," said Jack. "I'm just scared." He admitted for the first time in decades. Jack Sparroe was never scared. Till now.
But the little girl was not waking up.
"Jack we have to get back to the pearl if we going to help her!" said Elizabeth.
By the time jack and his family got back to the pearl the rest of the crew had as well.
"What happened to the lass Jack?" asked Gibbs his father figure.
"I wasn't to protect me little girl, that what happened Gibbs," he said in passing on the way to his cabin.
When they arrived Elizabeth observed her. She had clearly endured so much that she was surprised that Jack got to talk to her when he did in the house after he recounted his tale to her in the burning house.
"The pain would have caused most to pass out," Liz said.
As the nurse was leaving jack spoke to her. "Can you tell Will to mind the wheel?"
"Of course, where are we going?"
"To me mams." said Jack. Sophie would know what to do. As an after thought he added desperately. "Will she be ok?"
"Of course," she said. "She'll be need treating for the burns and the beatings and yeah I think she'll survive, however the mental wounds, Jack, she'll need you."
"I'll be there for her," said Jack. "What about Richards, what happened to him, yer didn't let him get away did yer?"
"Course not, Ana and Will had there fun with him," she said.
As Elizabeth left the room and crawl on to the bed next to her. His poor little daughter, how could one so small be expected to endure so much pain?
Before just watching her for the night he put her necklace back round her neck, where it belonged.
That night Jack didn't get a wink of sleep. He stayed up by her side. She cried out for him every so often and it seemed she was having nightmare after nightmare. All the distraught father could do was hold his child's hand.

"You're joking," said to his mother in his room.
"Luv I am so so sorry," said Ana through her tears, David at his door.
"So papa isn't my papa after all," he said heartbroken.
"Nay, but it was never meant to come out," Ana shook her head.
"I had a right to know," JJ shook his head.
"I know but just so badly wanted us to be a family," Ana wept.
"But I was never part of this family was I," JJ whispered.
"Yes my darling of course you are," said Ana.
"No I'm not," cried J and ran out of the room.
Turning to face David who tried to touch her she left the room with a cry of "Leave me alone!"
