Ok, I'm bored so here's the next chappie! Ooh, and I'm writing 12 in my room as we speak...I was just taking a break to eat lunch...mmm...RAMEN!

Disclamier: I own, Meg, Louise,Gracie, Elijah...umm...and some other stuff...Disney owns the rest...and I get to eat Ramen!

A couple more months went by. Louise's stomachwas starting togrow a bit.The company had a few more card tournaments in between the pillaging and plundering. Louise didn't take too kindly to Meg after what happened at the first tournament. She shunned Meg. However, Grace loved her. Meg guessed that that was Jack's side showing through.

One morning, early, Gracie ran down to Meg (who was asleep yet again).

"Aunt Meg! Look! Don't I look great!" she said. Meg opened one eye and shut it quickly. A bright beam of light was shining in Meg's face from the stairwell. She sat up and murmured something about Jack changing the course of the ship and rubbed her eye.

"Aunt Meggie?" Grace said again. Meg looked at her and couldn't help but smile. Gracie was wearing her father's coat, hat and boots.

"That's great, kid!" Meg beamed. "But does he know that you're wearing his things?"

Gracie's eye grew wide and she shook her head. Meg laughed again and pulled her "niece" into a hug.

"GRACE!" Jack roared above deck.

"She's down here!" Meg shouted back. Jack came down the stairs and stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Grace in his belongings. He started to laugh and walked over to her.

"C'mere, you," Jack picked his daughter up and out of the boots. He put them on and then picked Gracie up again and swung her in a circle for a moment. Gracie laughed and pleaded for Jack to do it again when he stopped.

"I've got a ship to sail, love," he said.

"Awww…."

Meg sat back and watched them. Jack looked at her for a moment.

"Ah, we're goin' ta see your brother…we'll be there next month…"

Meg blinked.

"Next month? Where is he?"

"England, love,"

Meg looked at the floor.

"England? Interesting…" she thought.

"You look tired…did you sleep alright?" Jack asked, looking a bit concerned. Meg blinked again bringing herself out of another reverie and looked at Jack. She rubbed her eye and yawned.

"Eh, I've slept better…"

"Go back to bed, there's nothing really you can do around here today,"

Meg nodded and laid back down, turning her back on Jack and Grace and pulling her covers over her again.

That month went by fast. In that time, Louise would not even stay in the same room with Meg for a long period of time. Jack could see her growing hate towards his sister-in-law. Louise tried to convince Gracie that Meg was evil and that she should stay away but Gracie would not listen and talk back saying that Meg was the sweetest person on board. During Louise's mood swings, Meg would try to stay as far away from her as possible.

The morning that The Black Pearl came into port was one of Louise's high mood swing days. At one moment she was as happy and as sweet as can be and the next, the most evil being on the face of the earth. Meg tried to ignore her as she, Jack, Louise and Gracie walked onto the docks.

"Where were we meeting him?" Meg asked Jack.

"Why should you care?" Louise spat at her. Meg looked over at her and walked a bit slower. Jack gave Meg a sympathetic look and tried to calm Louise. Grace reached for Meg's hand and tried to hide behind her. They stopped in front of a tavern called 'The Dark Lilly'. It didn't look that safe on the outside but once the four stepped over the threshold, a cheery atmosphere greeted them.

"Jack!" called a voice and Jack led them over to a table. Sitting at it was a man, perhaps a little older or younger than Jack, Meg could not tell. He had dark brown eyes, light brown shoulder length hair, and a rather rough look to him.

"Elijah, your sister," Jack said, pushing Meg in front of him. Elijah looked at Meg and smiled, standing up. He hugged her tightly and Meg hugged him back. She had never thought that this could be her brother…but once again, she had to trust Jack. They all sat down around the table, Meg next to Elijah, Grace next to her, Jack next to Grace and Louise next to him and Elijah. Meg listened quietly to a story that Elijah was telling. However, she was hardly paying attention. Did this mean that she had to leave The Black Pearl and Jack? Would she see them again?

"Now," Elijah finished. "To business?" Meg looked up. Business? What business? Elijah threw a bag of coins on the table. Meg looked at Jack but he avoided her gaze. Jack took it and stuffed it into his pocket.

Elijah quirked an eyebrow at him.

"Did she give you much trouble?"

Jack grimaced and still avoided Meg's eyes.

"A little but don't bother-"

"Yea, she was always a feisty one, werencha Meggie?" Elijah put his arm around his sister's shoulders.

"Wait a sec, what's the money for and why are we talking about me?" Meg asked sternly. Then something pieced together in her mind. "You…you paid him for taking me away from my ship…was that it?" Elijah looked at her blankly. She looked from his face to Jack's. He was looking very guilty. Meg couldn't believe it. She knocked Elijah's arm from her shoulder and ran out of the tavern.

"Meg!" she heard Jack's voice call behind her but she just kept running. It was now dark outside but that could not stop her. She couldn't believe that Jack and Elijah thought of her as a slave almost. Meg wasn't paying attention to where she was going, she just wanted to get as far away from them as possible at the moment. She turned down a side street and then another. She was so turned around by now that she slowed down. Turning this way and that, trying to decide where to do, Meg found herself lost. Then finally she passed out from exhaustion and grief.

Don't you just want to hug her and make all her troubles go away? Heh, yea...wait...that would be like hugging myself...er... ok...time to eat so R&R and I'll get the next one up soon! TALLY HO!
