DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
Marching down the stairs, James saw that the young woman was angry. "Are you alright?"
"No." She then headed for the door.
"Wait, let me get the carriage ready!" He shouted. Eve slowly turned around to face him.
"Why? Was it because of this?" Eve held up the letter. "Did you know about this? Did he tell you to keep an eye on me?"
"Yes, but it was only for your own good." James then let out a breath of air. "Please let me get the carriage, I'll take you over there myself. He doesn't want you to go out alone, so please, so he doesn't kill me…"
Eve looked at the older man, he looked defeated. "Fine." Eve then slipped on a jacket as she waited outside for the carriage.
XXXXXXXXX
"Damien, how bad is it?" Gabriel asked as he sat at his desk.
"Bad. Their attacks haven't stopped. It's not getting any better, we need to arm our ships better."
"I don't want to start a war."
"No, but we need to defend ourselves." Damien was Gabriel's older cousin, he had blonde hair, and rich brown eyes, his build was smaller than Gabriel's, but he was just as powerful…with his speech.
Gabriel rubbed the sides of his head. "Arm them. I don't want another ship taken…so use any force necessary." Damien stood back and noticed his discomfort.
"Still getting threats?"
"Yes, and it's not just me…" Damien sat down across from Gabriel.
"They are threatening Evelyn?"
"Yes…"
"What aren't you telling me?" Damien knew that Gabriel loved Eveyln, but he knew nothing about her.
"You must not say a word to anyone."
"Of course."
"She is Evelyn Turner." Evelyn went back to her maiden name after the incident with Jon. "I assume you know who she is."
"Christ Gabe, how in the hell did you manage to bump into her?"
"Long story. But, there lies my dilemma, she is a pirate, if these men find out…" Gabriel then lifted another threatening letter. "She will be known as a pirate…or even worse. I love her with everything in me, I won't let anything happen to her."
"Have you thought about taking her to the farm?"
"Yes. That's why I waited for you, I won't leave her there by herself."
"Done…" Damien's eyes then traveled out the window. "And there is your fair lady now…she doesn't look happy…I better stay out of destruction's path…" Damien and Eve greeted each other quietly as he was leaving and she was walking in.
"What a delicious surprise…" Gabriel got up from behind the desk and went to kiss Eve, but she pushed him back.
"You can't imagine the surprise I got today…" Eve then slammed the letter down on the table. "So when were you going to tell me that someone was threatening my life?"
"Why were you in my desk?"
"Don't try and change the subject. I want to know why you didn't tell me."
"I didn't want to worry you, you just seemed so happy…" Eve's blazing eyes softened. Gabriel stared into her eyes, and she was afraid.
"Come home." Eve looked at him with pleading eyes. The threat was also made against him, not just her. "Please, just come home with me." So easily Gabriel would have said yes, but there was so much to do.
"I can't." Gabriel held her hands. "I have to make sure Damien gets filled in."
Her eyes saddened. "Well, when your ready to come home…tell me the truth…and eventually learn, that you have someone waiting for you, someone who loves you, you know where to find me." Eve turned around without another word and jumped into the carriage.
Gabriel sat at the corner of his desk. Feeling a throbbing headache coming on, he got up and went to find Damien.
XXXXXXXXX
The ride back home was a long one. Suddenly feeling a wave of nausea, she excused herself upstairs, completely ignoring everyone and everything. When she reached the top of the stairs she suddenly felt light headed. Eve grabbed onto the banister and held on tight as the world around her began to spin. Slowly her grip began to loosen and she fell backwards, towards the stairs, but someone caught her and laid her down on the floor.
"Eve, are you alright?" Eve looked up faintly trying to make out the face.
"My head…"
"I know, always screwed on backwards…always been that way luv…"
"Jack?"
"The one and only…now would you like me to help you…"
"Please." Jack helped her up and helped her to her room where she sat on the edge of the bed.
"When did you get back?" Eve noticed he was wearing a suit and tie…in disguise of course.
"Just now."
"Did you find them?"
"Yes, they know to stay away from Gabriel's ships. Your parents are planning a visit…see how your doing."
"Ok." Eve then placed a hand on her head.
"You alright? When I found you, you weren't looking well."
"No. I think it's time I finally give in and get…" Eve then felt faint and started to slide from the bed. Jack quickly rushed over and pulled her back up. "Jack, please, bring Gabriel home…"
"Ok, ok…" Jack helped her into bed and went bounding out the door. Calling after a butler, to look after her, he ran out the door.
(A/N) Uh-oh, what's wrong with Eve? Poor girl has the worst luck...but will this be some good news? Who's making these threats? Soon...all shall be revealed...bwahahahahaha
