Chapter Six- Epiphany

Before we knew it, a whole week had flown by. I spent most of my time with Dana in the galley while all of my friends were off doing their chores about the ship. Now, after my duties were done, after dinner all of us got together and decided to have a star gazing party. We haven't been able to spend time together much, and this is something we used to do all the time. Only we were on Gina's trampoline. Now, we are lying sprawled out across the deck of the infamous Black Pearl. It still felt the same, though. With all of us there, talking happily and gazing up at the stars.

Stars have always amazed me. The way they can last for billions and billions of years without burning out or getting tired of staying alight. On this particular night they look more astonishing then I have ever seen them before. Blanketing the clear black sky, with the moon shining down bright. Maybe it is because the air is cleaner in the middle of the ocean? I don't know, but it's a possibility.

" What do you think our families are doing right now?" Ashley asked from beside be staring intently up at the glittering stars above. I sighed and looked up too. We have been on deck for about an hour now and I was starting to freeze my arse off. Who knew it could get that cold in the Caribbean?

" I don't know. What if they think we're dead?" I questioned sullenly my eyes fixed on a single star. I heard Ashley let out a long breath. It is weird to think about the situation we are in. Being sent back in time to the Black Pearl? Who ever thought it possible? Certainly not me, or anyone I know.

At first it was really cool to be here, but the illusion of it all was fading quickly, and I don't know what to do. I miss my family, but something about this place feels familiar, like I've been here before but I don't know it. I shivered and pulled the blanket closer to me.

" I think it is totally awesome that we are in, like, the 1700s. Does anyone else think that's cool?" Lonnie asked rolling onto his side and looking at all of his friends. I looked over at him, my blanket pulled up to my chin and nodded.

" Absolutely. I mean working in a galley 24/7 has always been my dream job!" I said sarcastically looking back up at the stars. Lonnie sighed and rolled over.

" Hey! Is my company not enough for you? Am I that bad?" Dana asked with a shaky voice. I looked over at her and smiled sympathetically.

" I love you, Dana but yes." I said jokingly. Her mouth dropped open in anger and then she closed it immediately and turned away sticking her chin up in the air. I laughed and gave her a hug, she pretended to cry into my shoulder for a minute and then pulled away laughing.

Everyone went quiet and we all stared up at the stars. I snuggled back into my blanket and adjusted my pillow.

" You wanna know what I miss the most from home guys?" I said absent minded while looking up at the stars in the night sky. Everyone stayed silent, but I knew they were listening.

" Elaine." I sighed. After a few seconds, everyone started laughing loudly. I looked over at them with a erratic smile on my face. Elaine is my baby grand piano. It's not mine per se, it belonged to my grandmother but after she passed she gave it to my mother. Now I am the only one who knows how to play it therefore I get to name it.

" I miss Milky Way candy bars." Dana said with a frown and patted me on the shoulder affectionately.

" I miss CSI Las Vegas." Lonnie stated sitting up and stretching out.

" I miss Eeyore." Gina said with a pout. Eeyore is her Honda Accord that is just barely hanging on by a thread, but never seems to let go.

" I can't believe I am going to say this, but I actually miss school." Mitch said with a disgruntled look on his face. He had just started to do online college classes and he actually enjoyed them. Lonnie scoffed, and then started laughing. Mitch glared over at him.

" I don't miss anything." Ashley said. We all looked at her surprised.

" Come on, Ash. There has to be just one thing that you miss from home." She shook her head and then looked around at each of us.

" I've got you guys, I don't need anything else." A smile spread across my face and I pulled Ashley into a tight hug.

" Tender!" Kelton bantered, faking a pout and quivering his lower lip. Dana smacked him upside the head and scowled at him.

" Good way to ruin the moment you oaf!" She hissed, only loud enough for Kelton to hear. Then turning back to Ash she smiled.

" Amen!" Dana said raising a fake mug. We all did the same and looked around at each other smiling.

" CHEERS!" We all toasted to each other. We all broke down laughing together until we cried.

" I find them an interesting addition to the crew." Will said taking a seat at the wooden table in Jack's cabin. Jack didn't stay anything but continued his visual harassment of the candle in the center of the table.

" Aye, William. Ye' ther' be somethin' off abou' 'em." He said taking a swig of the rum bottle in his hand. Will shrugged, contemplating.

" They all seem relatively normal to me."

" E'pecially tha' Kamilia?" Jack winked at him. Will rolled his eyes and then looked down at the mug in his hands.

" It'll d' ya no good livin' in the pas' Whelp. She's gone, we c'nt change tha'." Will's head shot up and he looked out at nothing in particular.

" Easier said than done Jack." He said sullenly sipping his wine. Jack nodded, and then brought the bottle to his lips.

" I've dis'overed somethin' interestin' mate." Jack said trying to change the topic of conversation, and setting his now empty bottle on the table lazily.

" What's that Jack." Leaning over the table, Jack looked over at Will with a great lopsided grin on his face..

" It's 'n interestin' development on our youn' frien' Kami." Will raised an eyebrow.

" So?"

" D' ye recogni'e 'er from 'nywhere?" He inquired quietly. Will shrugged and looked over at Jack incredulously.

" Should I?" Jack shook his head, the grin never leaving his face.

"Aye well, o' course ye wouldn't. Bu' I 'ave figured ou' wher' I know 'er from." Perplexed, Will waited for the rest of the story, but he didn't continue.

" Okay, Jack. I give up. Where have you met her?" Will groaned, leaning back in his chair.

" See, this is the interestin' part Will." He paused, looking over at Will's idle face his hands laced together fiddling with his thumbs.

" She's Marcella D'Antoni's eldest daugh'er." Will paused, mouth agape with a thoughtful look in his eyes. After the reverie was broken he glanced over at Jack with a 'and-this-is-supposed-to-relate-to-me-how?' type look. Jack sighed loudly in annoyance.

" How do you know that?" Jack's shoulder's fell, and the smile left his face.

" Well, you see. Marcella is n' ol' pal o' mine…"

" You mean lover." Will inverted with a raised eyebrow (He seems to be doing that a lot huh?) Jack rolled his eyes.

" Yes, Whelp, a lover. Now, back t' the story." Jack cleared his throat loudly. " Well, Marcella and me, well…ya know. 'Nyhow, later Marcella sen' me a post. She wa' pregnant. Now tha' was qui'e the surprise! You kno' how awkwar' 'twas fer me t' face 'er since we ha' bro' it off-"

" Jack! On, with the story." Jack stopped mid sentence and glanced up from his hands. He shook his head and nodded.

" O' yeah. Okay. Well the ni' months wen' by jus' like tha'!" He said snapping his fingers. " Nex' thing I know, I 'ave a daughter named Liliana Kamille D'Antoni. Bu' Marcella's father forbid me from seein' 'em." Will nodded and followed along as Jack went on.

" Why?" Jack shrugged.

" I'm a pirate, she's a highly noted Countess of Italy." Will's expression changed and he frowned over at Jack pityingly. He ignored it.

" Now I didn't thin' abou' it 'afore, but I was watchin' Kami a few nigh's ago and I realized, she reminded me o' Cella. Than I ha' an epiphany." He emphasized 'epiphany' and then his eyes widened voluntarily.

" She's looks li'e Cella, she laughs li'e 'er."

" Your not getting mushy are you?" Will teased. Jack shot him a look and he quieted.

" As I was sayin'. She's the right age. Wha' I mean is…" Jack paused and his forehead scrunched up and he glowered down.

" I thin' she's me daughter, mate." Will's jaw dropped open. He wasn't expecting that kind of an epiphany. He was thinking along the lines of 'and I think I like her' or something crazy like that, but not that!

" You're daughter?" Will asked flabbergasted after a moment of silence. Jack's face looked almost as surprised as Will's but on a different level of extremity.

" How do you know?" He asked curiously, closing his mouth and running a hand through his hair. Jack looked at him sternly.

" Did ya see the pendant she wears?" He said cryptically. Will nodded.

" Yeah, she showed it too me. Why?" Jack smirked and a look of comprehension crossed Will's face and he nodded.

" Yup. I go' it fer 'er. 'Twas the firs' and las' time I saw 'er, until now tha' is." He said sadly, bowing his head.

" What if it just looks like the pendant you bought?"

" No. It was one o' a kind, tha' pendant was. 'Ad it speciallystolem jus' for 'er." Will's mouth dropped open in horror.

" You had someone steal a gift for your daughter!" He was speechless. Jack sheepishly smiled and tilted his head from side to side.

" I had 'er name engraved 'n it!" He protested. Will rolled his eyes.

" Who did you steal it from." Jack looked around, avoiding eye contatct. "Jack." Will said unpatiently.

" Just, um..the uh, heir t' the throne o' England."

" What!"

" I didn't kno' it a' the time, whelp. Found ou' later." Will rested his forehead in his hands.

" You have never given me a reason to believe you are a complete idiot, but this...this is pretty darn close to the line." Jack didn't say anything, but just stood up and walked over to his rum cabinet and grabbed a few more bottles.

" Her names Kamilia, not Kamille."

" She disa'eared when she was a babe, whelp. 'Nything coul' o' happened." He said uncorking the first bottle and taking a long swig.

" How'd she disappear?" Will asked, standing up from his seat and pacing back and forth.

" We ne'er knew."

" I thought you said you only saw her once?"

" I 'ave me ways, whelp." Jack said slyly. Will placed his hands on his hips and took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

" Okay, say she is your daughter. What are you going to do? You can't just waltz right up to her and tell her, she would never believe you." Jack nodded knowingly. Will watched him carefully, still pondering over the conversation he had just gone through with Jack.

How is it possible? I mean it IS physically possible, but how could she just show up stranded in the middle of the ocean? It's just so far-fetched.

" Tha's why I plan on takin' 'er 'ome first."


Meanwhile, two certain eavesdroppers were listening in behind the door.

" I thin' she's me daugh'er, mate." Anamaria almost fell over in shock. Jack, a father? No way…

" Yup. I go' it just fer 'er. 'Twas the firs' and las' time I saw 'er, until now that is." Anamaria stayed silent, too shocked to say anything. Her mind was reeling over what Jack had just said. Than looking over at Dallas she smirked.

" Ye, see ya blastin' idiot! Jack ga'e it t' the lass." Anamaria hissed at Dallas outside the door. Dallas smirked.

" So I w's wro'g. Bu' tha' means Kami is Capt'n's daugh'er. 'Magine wha' 'e woul' give if we 'eld 'er fer ransom." Anamaria's eyes widened and she shook her head violently.

" No! Abs'lutely not!" She turned on her heel and walked away, but Dallas' hand reached out and pulled her back. She looked back at him with a threatening eyebrow raised. He matched her glare and stood his ground.

" Cap'n said that 'er mother 'as a Countess o' Italy." He stated with an evil smile. Anamaria shook her head sternly.

" I will not ta'e par' in mutany." She turned and walked away, her chin held high.

" Ye alrea'y defied 'im by e'en talkin' 'bout it." Dallas told her gruffly. She shook her head.

" I am takin' no part in this. Bu' mark my words, mark 'em well, if ye do 'nything t' capt'n's daugh'er, I'll be forced to rat ye out." She threatened narrowing her eyes at him. Dallas said nothing, but watched as se walked away an evil glare in his eyes. Th'n I'll b' doin' it meself, then.

"Tha's why I plan on takin' 'er 'ome first." Was the last thing her heard before walking away with an evil grin about his face. An evil plan was circulating through his brain.
