Anamaria looked at the sprawled out figure of Nili. She was shot three times in the chest and skewered with a sword. She looked around, and saw not animals, as there were five minutes ago, but people, looking surprised and stunned. Jack looked around franticly.
"Jack!"
A streak of blue flew by Anamaria, and into Jack's arms. Isabelle smiled as Jack picked her up. Anamaria smiled and turned back to people who hadn't quite recovered from being an animal.
"Nyrobi?" said a woman, standing in the door of the room. Anamaria looked at the woman.
"Mom?"
The woman nodded. Anamaria ran forward and hugged the woman.
"Oh Nyrobi. I have waited to long to see you," Aiyasia said, stroking her daughter's hair. Anamaria cried happily into her mother's shoulder.
There was much disarray in the castle. Many of the servant's had been animal's for years and had forgotten their names. Isabelle took them one by one outside, and named the ones who had forgotten. She returned to Jack looking tired, and weary. She wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face in his shoulder.
"I'm tired. Let's go back to the ship," she murmured, with a sigh. Jack picked her up and carried her to the dinghy, the others climbed aboard, including Aiyasia. The freed servants waved good bye.
Jack carried Isabelle onto the Pearl and into his cabin. He laid the sleeping Isabelle down on his bunk and kissed her. Her eyes fluttered open.
"Shh, rest now love. You've had a long day," Jack said, touching her soft face. His hands were rough and dried out, but Isabelle cherished the touch. She smiled and closed her eyes, curling up into a small ball. Jack smiled at her sleeping form. His stomach suddenly was in knots, and his heart thumped loudly. What's happening to me? He thought as he left his cabin. He went over to the side of the ship and stood, looking into the water. Will came over, looking into the horizon.
"You don't look so good," He said.
"I don't feel it…My stomachs in knots and my heart's beatin' loud," Jack said, glancing at his friend. Will laughed.
"You, my friend, have the common symptoms of love," he said, turning away and going down into the galleries to look for Elizabeth. Jack stared into the sea. He? The infamous Captain Jack Sparrow in love? How could it be? He sighed, and his thoughts strayed to Isabelle. How her eyes twinkled whenever she laughed. The smell of her hair…It was lavender, yes lavender. Her smile was always pleasant. She always was willing to help… How he loved her! He had to make her his. Jack leapt down the stairs into the lower decks, digging into a chest of jewelry. There were rings of all sorts, but none would fit Isabelle. Jack gave a desperate sigh, and kicked the box angrily. It tipped over, and he sword violently. Gold spilled out before him.
"Might as well put it back 'fore it spreads out," he murmured, beginning to pile the jewel's back. Then a ring caught his eye. It was silver, with a star shaped diamond set into it. Two sapphires set next to it. He gave a triumphant whoop and ran to the galleries.
"Lizzie, dear, please take up mine and Izzy's dinner to my dining area, also two goblets and our best wine!" he said, running back to the lower decks. There had to be a dress somewhere. Jack shifted through different dresses, and found a light green one that looked about Isabelle's size. He took it to his cabin, where Isabelle was still fast asleep.
Jack left the dress on his desk and wrote a note to Isabelle. He left quietly.
