DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!
Both Eve and Gabriel ran into their home, past the servants, as soon as they didn't spot their children out front of the house.
The house was burning with flames, neither Gabriel nor Eve, could stand the heat, but their children were in that house…
Gabriel and Eve ran up the stairs. "I'll check on their bedrooms, you check the playroom." Gabriel shouted to Eve.
Eve ran to the playroom, and knocked down the door, no one was there. No one was in the house, where was Jack, where were her parents?
"Gabriel, what about our bedroom?" Eve shouted as she saw his disappointed face, their children weren't in there bedrooms either.
The heat was intense, flames were engulfing their beautiful home, as they ran into their bedroom, they saw nothing, not anyone. "Gabriel, where are they?" Eve grabbed his shirt.
"I don't know." Gabriel was frantic, she could see it in his eyes. They heard creaking above them. "We have to get out of here…"
"Gabriel, where are they?" Eve was just as frantic as he was.
"I don't know Evelyn, they aren't…" A crash of burning wood came down, Gabriel, pushed Eve out of the way before he took the brunt of the pain..
"Gabriel!" Eve grabbed the basin of water by the bed and threw it on the wood, the flames went out with a sizzle. She bent down by Gabriel, he was unconscious, and his back was badly battered. "Oh please…" Eve muttered as she pulled him up to her lap. Eve picked Gabriel up under his arms and started to drag him out of the house…it just wasn't happening, the flames were too fast, too hot, too strong. Eve managed to get Gabriel to the hall before collapsing from the inhalation of smoke. She collapsed next to Gabriel…
Eve looked up and saw two figures coming towards them. One picked up Gabriel and the other picked her up. When she looked up, she realized Will, her brother, was carrying her out of the house.
William set Eve down on the street. Emily came running over with water. "No!" Eve swatted it away and stared at the house. "Where are they?" Her voice was weak and tired. She looked at Gabriel, he was in bad shape, Laura was tending to him, Jacob standing beside her helping. "Gabriel…" Eve crawled over to her husband. He was unconscious.
"We should take them home with us, we'll fix them up…call for a doctor." Jacob said.
"Yes, that would be best for now…" Laura said somberly.
"Will, help Jacob with Gabriel, me and Emily will take Eve." Eve watched everything happen so slowly, and she could do nothing about it.

Eve woke to the sound of voices, her sister and brother. "Laura, William?" Eve called out. Both were by her bedside in seconds.
"We're here." Laura said.
"Where's Gabriel?"
"He's fine. He has some bad burns but he should be just fine." Will said as he took her hand.
"Where are my children?" Eve's throat began to close. "Where are Jack and mother and father?" Eve was beginning to cry.
"We don't know Eveie…" Eve closed her eyes, Eveie, something Will would call her on occasion.
"How can that be?" Eve sat up unsteadily. "I left my children in bed, safe, tucked in…where are they?" Eve was beginning to become angry.
"We just don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?" Eve's face reddened.
"No bodies were found in your home." William said his eyes lowering. "We don't know where any of them are."
"I have to find them…" Eve then tossed the covers off her and stood up. "I will find them…" Eve took off down the hall, Laura and William behind her.
"Eve, you are in no condition…" Laura started.
"Laura, if you didn't know where Adam was, if he was missing, if the last time you saw him was he was safely in the care of our parents and Jack, and all of a sudden he is missing with them, you wouldn't truly care about your condition." Eve snipped and walked down the hall further, and stopped when she heard a moan coming from a door. Eve stopped in front of the door, and slowly opened it. Gabriel was lying face down on the bed, his back was bandaged, pain stricken upon his face. "Gabriel?" Eve slowly walked into the room.
"Evelyn…" His voice was hoarse…she closed her eyes, she had almost lost him as well.
"I'm here." Eve pulled a chair next to the bed. She combed his rich brown hair away from his beautiful blue eyes.
"Did you find them?" His voice just so strained.
"No…" Eve dropped her head in defeat.
"Promise me something…" He whispered.
"Anything…"
"Don't go off on your own. Wait for me…give me a few days…"
"Gabriel, our children are missing…a few days may be too late…" Eve's mind was racing, who could have done this?
"Evelyn…" His voice went deeper.
"Gabriel…I am their mother…and I am well enough to leave." Determination then filled his voice, and he got up. Eve jumped back from the seat, watching him get up, watching pain surge through his body.
"No. You aren't going without me. I won't allow it." Gabriel had never been stern with her, but for the first time he was putting his foot down.
"Gabriel…" Eve pleaded. "Please lie back down."
"No, promise me."
"I can't."
"Promise me Evelyn." His voice was cold and stern, his stature rigid, he wanted a promise, and well, he was going to get it.
"I promise." Eve said as she lowered her eyes. Gabriel didn't like to treat her this way, but if she went out on her own, she was liable to hurt herself, and he would lose, everything.
Gabriel then nodded, and laid back down in bed. "Get Damien here. I need to speak with him."
"Alright."
"See that letter." Gabriel motioned for the small table at the far end of the room. "I want you to give it to him personally. No one else."
"What does it say?"
"I asked Will to write it out for me. We are going to find our children by any means necessary…" Eve nodded. She knew what he meant, and she also knew that although Gabriel was a law abiding citizen, that the world of business was often cut-throat, and often that meant doing less than appropriate actions.
"I will be back." Eve got up. Eve quickly walked out of the room and ran to the front foyer.
"Did he talk to you?" Her brother asked from the doorway.
"Yes he did." Eve grabbed a cloak that was hanging off a hook. "I'll be back."
"I'm coming with you." Adam said from behind her. "You shouldn't be off on your own."
"No, I need to do this on my own." Eve was out the door before William or Adam could protest. Her children, missing…all her thoughts were focused, reassured, she would do what Gabriel asked of her, but she would not wait, there was just no time.

Jack woke with a headache so terrible he could barely stand his own head. He looked across from him and saw Will and Elizabeth, lying on the floor, breathing, but not moving. He was on a ship, he felt that from the creak of the boards he was currently laying on. As he sat up and looked to the other side of the room, he saw four small bodies…Jack immediately crawled over to them, and there they were, Jack, Gabe, Joshua, and Colette.
"Grandpa Jack?" Gabe mumbled.
"I'm right here. You alright?"
"My head hurts." He helped Gabe sit up. "Where are we?"
"My guess is a ship, locked in a cell." Jack noticed the steal bars around them.
"Where are Grandma and Grandpa?" It was funny to see how children would differentiate names, only with Jack would they use his name.
"Over there. Why don't you go over to them and get them up? I'll check on your brothers and sister." Gabe then crawled over to his grandparents.
"Jack my boy, wake up." Jack lightly stroked his knuckles over the boy's cheek.
"Grandpa Jack?"
"One and only, come on now…get up…" When Jack looked up next to him, he saw Will was beside him.
"They look alright…" Joshua began to stir. Colette was still not moving.
"Colette…" Will picked up the small fragile child. "Come on darling, open your eyes." Will kissed the top of her forehead, something her mother did.
"Mommy?" Colette said.
"No, it's Grandpa…" Will smiled at the sweet child.
"I don't feel good."
"I know sweetheart, but everything will be fine." Will then got up and sat back next to Elizabeth, who when they were attacked got the brunt of it.
"Are you alright?" Will asked still cradling Colette.
"I'm fine." Elizabeth said. Her eyes immediately went to her grandchildren. "How are they?"
"Fine." Will saw that the two older boys nestled by Jack, Joshua scampered onto Elizabeth's lap, and Colette was in his.
"What happened here?" Jack said.
"All I remember is that they came in through the parlor…I saw them come after you first…" Elizabeth recalled what she had seen, she was the one that had the best vantage point. "They hit you with something, then the hit Will…" Elizabeth closed her eyes. "Then I ran upstairs to their bedrooms, I knew they were after the children…I grabbed both Joshua and Colette first, and rushed them off into Gabe and Jack's room…" Elizabeth opened her eyes. "I did my best to protect them…we fought…and they had a hold of Jack…and told me to go quietly and no one would be hurt…I felt a sting in the back of my neck…next thing I remember is Gabe waking me up…"
"Eve and Gabriel have to be terrified." Will said.
"Yes, very." Jack added.
(A/N) So it's a who done it…I think you'll find out next chapter, but I ain't giving nothing away!
THE ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN CHRISSY CUPCAKE AND KAREN KANGEROO! (Karen you wench!)
"No not the Splenda!" Suggie Cane was crying. "Please anything but that!"
"Then open your bloody mouth will you!" Chrissy then yanked Suggie up by the collar.
"Alright! Okay, I'll tell you." Suggie then took a deep breath. "It was the Muffin Man."
"The Muffin Man!" Chrissy shouted.
"The Muffin Man!" Suggie then threw his head in his hands.
"That how did you play in all of this?" Karen asked just curious.
"I was to distract you while he moved the frosting."
"Where had he moved it?" Willy asked.
"I don't know."
"Enough of his sugar coated lies!" Joe hollered. Joe then slapped Suggie in the face. Karen then smiled, 'a man with direction…', her heart fluttered.
"Alright!" Suggie cried as he touched his cheek. "Cupcake Mountain."
(Alrighty Karen, you wench who leaves me with all the responsibility! Get us back to the Snickers! Keep it tight!)
