Pirates of the Caribbean:

The Legend of the Alchemist

Chapter 5

EvanLee strode using the shadows of night through Port Royal hoping that Will was still as he was a year ago, one that never left his work until dawn. Wondering if he had a home now she stopped in front of the door to the Armory. She looked up at the sign ignoring the symbols she looked at the lettering to make sure she had it right.

J. Browns. yes that was the one. She silently opened the door to the armory.

She grinned she heard the rustlings of a man working by the fire. She strained her eyes to get a look at the man before she assumed it was Will. Yes. She grinned that was definitely Will's head. She silently drew out her longest and only sword (she was known for using mainly blades/daggers) and crept up behind him. Then she was behind him and she let the blade touch his back. She heard him laugh.

"Jack what brings you back here?" he turned around. He seemed baffled to see someone other than Jack Sparrow. She let a kind smile light her face.

"Boo." a grin broke out on his face. She hilted her sword as Will braced her in a hug then held her out to see her in the light.

"I don't believe it." he breathed. "Little EvanLee is back." she smiled.

"Not little anymore Will."

"O I know that. I hear you're a real Pirate. Captain Joselyn and Lady EvanLee." he smirked. She shoved him.

"Yes. We are." she said with a trace of her old accent. "The most feared pirates in the Caribbean."

"O I don't know bout that. You still have to catch up with Jack Sparrow." she smiled politely. She reminded herself that she wasn't here to talk about him anymore. She needed Will's help.

"Uh huh."

"Anyways… wheres Joselyn?" a shadow fell across EvanLee's face as she smacked him across the face. "Wha?…OOOOH." he grinned. "Tell Joss I'm sorry bout that."

"I will but let me tell ya why I'm here." the grin slid off Will's face when he heard the somber note in her voice. "Will I hear ye have the blood of a pirate. A rather good one at that." he nodded. "I ask ya can ye give up yer life here fer a while. I promise I'll return ya here. Promise." he heard the pleading note in her voice, the only thing keeping him from declining her immediatly.

"Lee, what happened?"

"Will I need yer help." he saw a tear in her eye as she started sobbing. He took her into his arms as he used to and rocked her back and forth until she stopped. EvanLee liked the feeling of security that she hadn't had for so long.

Will stared down at the sobbing girl. He realized that was truly what she was. Just a girl, a girl forced to grow up too soon. Picking her up he took her to his home with Elizabeth Swan.

Will set the girl down in one of the spare bedrooms. She was already asleep. He turned back to Elizabeth.

"Who is she?" she asked.

"An old friend." he muttered. "A very old friend." she looked at him questioning.

"Theres more isn't there?" he nodded.

"Have you heard of, I know you must have, of Lady EvanLee and Captian Joselyn of The Alchemist?" a grin broke out over her face.

"Inspiring arent they? Port Royals finest. Two of the only female pirates." Will nodded.

"Yes they are. I heard that there are many more female pirates in the waters though no one can catch up to those two." Elizabeth grinned throwing her arms around him.

"Why are you asking me this?" a shadow fell across his face.

"Elizabeth." he paused. "what would you say to me leaving for a bit?" she let go of him glaring a him.

"You wish to leave me?"

"no. I just have to go for awhile."

"Does this have anything to do with her?" Will nodded.

"That was one of my best friends a year ago. She left the night Jack Sparrow came. That is Lady EvanLee sister to Captian Joselyn of The Alchemist." Elizabeth shook her head.

"No." she breathed unbelievably.

"yes. She needs my help for something."

"But what?" he shrugged.

"I don't know yet. But by that girls tears I can tell its important.

"I don't believe you!" she raged. She stomped over to the girl lifting up her left arm and stripped off the little piece of cloth that had a hole in it where her middle finger went and was tied around her arm, and gasped. There on her wrist was the pirate brand and the LE that was carved into her hand by her sister above the P.

"She-She really is EvanLee." he nodded.

"I know. And she needs my help." he gripped Elizabeth's hand with both of his. "please. I need to go." she nodded and gave him a kiss on the cheek and left the room. He watched her leave then sank into a chair in the room.

EvanLee Hunington stared down at the package with her sister Joselyn. It was un-addressed. She watched intently as Joselyn opened the package a letter fell out instead of immediately looking at the letter as Joselyn did she looked at the two gleaming swords. Then she felt Joselyn nudge her to read the letter. EvanLee stared down.

To our dearest children,

Hello babies. I'm afraid you might not remember us. This is your mother speaking. I know this must sound strange but this is Joselyn's 18th birthday present. It tis yours as well EvanLee. You see we left you two in Port Royal for a reason. It was not to leave you alone but to protect you for your own good. Babies we have something to tell you that will change your lives. Something that we have to leave you with.

Joselyn I want you to take care of your sister. You understand? You will not leave her side. Remember she is younger than you. She will not ever be as powerful as you no matter how hard she tries to tell you that she is. She may become more cunning than you are and that may save her life many times but you are still older and wiser. What we are bringing you into is dangerous but it is in your blood and that you cant deny. You must become what you were born into.

My dearest EvanLee I must ask you to listen to your sister. I know that may be hard to ask but it tis necessary . Your life may count on it. No matter what you say you are the baby of the family. And the babies are the weakest no matter how strong you may be. But EvanLee you have your own job. That is to be the witty one. I feel it in my bones that you will be saving your sisters life many times by that brain you have. You must keep her out of trouble. I have no fear of you getting into a sticky situation and not being able to get out. Your sister is smart she is older and wiser but you have a cunning that can get you out of anything. I just want you to get your sister out too.

Now this goes to the both of you. I know how beautiful you both turned out and me and your father both are proud of you. But you must leave the men here alone. They are scoundrels that will take advantage of you. No matter how much you want it you can not trust these men. Just leave them alone. You will get hurt.

This is your father. Like your mother says you may not remember us. Well actually you shouldn't remember us. We left you Joselyn in a place called Tortuga because we both knew that we would soon bear another child so we left you with a man named Blaine. Seek him out he will take care of you. Now when you came along EvanLee we sent you both to Port Royal. We knew there that you would learn many a thing about boats am I right? We trusted that you would get swords training though we are not sure. We left a note saying how special you two are asking for that training by one named Shawn. We hope they did not turn that down.

Joselyn being the oldest I trust to you your sisters life. Your mother talked to you about this. Your sister is your responsibility. Not ours any more. Though we do love you both we cannot worry about you any more. This letter is a burden of responsibility. You may turn this down and forget we ever wrote you, or you can take this as a challenge.

EvanLee, my smart little girl. At least that's what your mother tells me. You may know a man by the name of Shawn, he looks after you for us. Your mother has kept in touch with him and he tells us how bright you are. I hope you keep that up through your life. Never forget how useful good brains are when you get them. don't give that up.

Both of you are my little girls. I hope you two would remember that .But now I must tell you why we have written. Both me and Your mother are Pirates. This is in your blood now. If you decide that you want to be what your parents that you've never known are I can give you some directions.

Talk to Shawn. He will cover up your absence. He will take you down south to the island called Tortuga. There he will leave you and head back up to Port Royal. Once you are in Tortuga seek out the one I told you about Blaine. He will train you and teach you all you need to know. He will then give you a special ship that we set out for you two long ago. Its name is The Alchemist. That ship you will never leave you understand?

Once you are on the waters you are no longer Joselyn and EvanLee Hunington you are Captain Joselyn and Lady EvanLee of The Alchemist. I trust you to leave those names behind and take up these new ones. And I hope you two can become known and feared pirates. We shall listen for you. Good luck to the both of you on your journey.

I love you, Dad

If you two ever hear of a ship called The Romantic you have the right to know that is who we are. And we shall always be your parents and love you deep within our hearts. Someday I hope I can see you two alive. Take care,

Loving you with all my heart, Mom

Joselyn looked at her sister. They both grinned and picked up the blades that were still in the package. Both of them had an engraved message, Captain Joselyn and Lady EvanLee.
