Chapter 12

The Places We'll See

Jack was gaining on her. While the Diamond was almost as fast as the Black Pearl, it still couldn't beat his ship. Jack knew everything about the Diamond, he had commanded the ship built after all and even paid for half of it, it had been returned to him through the years but he had been happy to help his friends out. Now he needed their help.

"Sail ho," said one of his men from the crows nest. Jack pulled out his spy glass and looked, and there she was. Being named the diamond the sails were kept pristinely white, as was the ship itself. The ship seemed to almost glow as it cut through the Indian waters.

"Pull out the sweeps and fly the white," Jack yelled, putting away his glass. He knew Kasha and Bandit would spot them from a mile away, but he knew it was better to be safe then sorry. They were moving closer to his only slavation, and he saw the sails of the Diamond drop, they were waiting for him. They made it to the ship soon after that, and there they were, Kasha and Bandit smiling and waving at him.

"Captain Sparrow," Bandit said as the Pearl closed the distance.

"Wheres those rotten children and your devil wife?" Kasha asked as a plank was produced and set up between the ships.

"That's why I'm here," Jack said as he walked across the plank. "They were taken by Raul 'bout five months ago. I need yer help and any men ye can spare te pull this off." Kasha and Bandit lost their smiles.

"Everything we have is at your disposal Jack," Kasha said.

"Good, I need yer ship."


Saihrena hated Spain. She had never hated any place as much as she despised the city of her birth. She loved her memories of Spain with her parents and little brother, but she hated the reality which was much colder and harder.

As soon as they had landed in Spain almost three months ago Morgead had pounced, not just on her but her children as well.

"She has my hair, they have my eyes," he declared as he gathered them in his arms. Dem had bitten him while Alan simply kicked him in the crotch. Morgead had raised his hand to strike her children, but before she could come to the rescue she found her brother stepping in.

"You would not want to harm the future ruler of Portugal Morgead. These children have been living among pirates, believing their father to be that Sparrow fellow. Give them time to come around," he had said.

Morgead nodded and released her children who ran back to her quickly. Morgead's eyes glazed with fury as he looked at her, and she knew then she would not be rescued. Morgead had beaten her until she was almost senseless that night. She fought back at first, even landed a blow she was sure broke his arm. His right arm was hale enough to break her legs.

He had told her the only way she would ever leave him again was death. She had whole heartedly agreed, but not with her death.

It had taken her months to recover her strength and vitality, her legs were almost completely healed at this point. Her children visited her every afternoon talking for hours about their Uncle Raul and his wife who had never born any children. People talked about how Raul had children through the maids in the castle, but none could claim the throne.

What her brother had said to her as he held her daughter aboard his ship became more clear everyday, he needed Demetrius to rule, Alandra was simply an added bonus that he could marry off in ten years for alliances, but he didn't need her. Demetrius was the sole heir to the throne of Spain, the only man left alive besides Raul that could claim the name Senire, even though the name he now claimed was Sparrow. Raul hoped to raise her son as his own, how he planned to achieve this was still a mystery to her however.

"How are you feeling today mother?" Saihrena looked over and saw her children enter the room. She smiled to herself as she saw her daughter still dressing as a boy, she had ripped the dresses that Raul had sent her to pieces and borrowed her brothers clothes. Raul had insisted for a few weeks that she wear a dress, but after that had pants and shirts made up for her to look like a boy. She noticed her hair was growing longer though, and she thought of Jack.

"Mother?" Dem asked. She shook herself from her daydreams of her husband and smiled at her twins.

"I'm doing better, and how are you both doing? Causing a ruckus throughout the castle I hope?" They smiled slyly and nodded in unison, making her laugh hysterically at the thought of their antics on the castle and its inhabitants.

"Just a little one," Alan smirked, and in that moment she looked just like her father that it made Rena's heart clamp up, she had trouble catching her breath. Her children responded immediately, Dem began to pound her on the back while Alan lifted her arms above her head. She began to cough and splutter, but her breath returned.

"Thank you, I don't know what came over me," she whispered as Dem handed her a cup of water.

"You sure yer okay?" They asked in unison, and she nodded.

"Mother can I ask you something?" Alan asked suddenly.

"Anything darling."

"We've been talkin and we were wonderin-"

"Is Morgead our real father?" Dem cut her off.

"Heaven forbid," Rena burst out. "No you are truly the children of Jack Sparrow, but act skeptical when he tells you you're his, I don't want him to know yet," she smirked. Her children smiled and kissed her on the cheek before she shooed them away to play and cause destruction. She missed Jack.


"So that's your plan?" Kasha asked skeptically after he had outlined it.

"Basically, yea, so ye in?" Jack asked.

"Well of course, but I must say I liked your last plan better," Bandit said.

"Last time I had an inside man and no children he could use against me," Jack said as he stood and left the cabin. They had been talking for hours about his plan and what he needed from them. They were finally ready to tell the crews.

"All hands on deck, er, decks," Jack yelled and waited for the flurry of motion to calm down. When he was resonably sure everyone was there he began to yell loud enough for all to hear him.

"I need men and a few women," Jack turned and winked at Kasha, "to clean up, shave their beards, cut and brush their hair, wear respectable clothes, and even take a bath. If yer not willin te do this ye can stay aboard the Black Pearl, but those that are willin will be comin with Bandit, Kasha and I aboard the Diamond to a few Islands around here where we can fix ourselves up to go to Spain as a merchant vessel and rescue me children and me wife. Who's with me?" A deafening sound split his ears as what seemed like everyone aboard both ships began to say, "aye," at the same time. Jack was instantly heartened by this. He would have them back before long.
