Maybe you guys don't find this story interesting or something… I don't know for sure but at least I can say 3 people like it, only because they reviewed. First to Windychic, you are my staunchest supporter and my best reviewer. You read all my stuff and you actually review it, I want you to know that I love you for this, it makes me feel so awesome when you read my stories simply because their my stories and you think I'm a good writer, thank you for this. Next to Flunkyflamingo, you are also a great reviewer, when you didn't read my story for a couple of days you went and reviewed all the chapters to let me know what you thought, that was awesome thank you so much! To Rachel Sparrow, thank you for reviewing last chapter, you've been slacking a bit in your reviews but it makes me feel good to know you still care about my story… AND GET YOURS GOING!
I gave thanks to the 3 whole people that reviewed my last chapter. And Thanks to cjz and nanomachine, plus funkyflamingo and again my favorite reviewer windychic for reviewing chapter 13, these were the only 4 reviews I got for 13. Is my story so uninteresting that you have stopped reading it? Or is it that you don't care that I took the time out of my busy day to make sure I had a chapter up for you to read so you don't want to tell me what you thought of it? I'd stop writing all together if it weren't for my staunchest supporters, who I have already mentioned above.
You guys were doing so great, it was wonderful to get 5-10 reviews per chapter… and now I'm getting 3 and 4 reviews… this gonna pick up? Anyway… sorry bout the rant I was just a little upset that I don't have any reviews, and I know people are reading this that haven't even reviewed it yet, I can see you all on my author alert and favorites lists, I know your there why aren't you reviewing?
Sorry bout that… Without further ado I give to you…
Chapter 15
Adieu
Saihrena had told her brother to send her children to her so she could tell them her judgment. Without warning Dem came bounding into the room and plopped down on the ground in front of her. Alan was more sedate as she meandered into the room, trying to delay what she knew was a foregone conclusion. As Alan entered the room she looked up into her mothers face, nodded once, and fled from the room.
She knew, it would be too painful to bare. Tears filled Saihrena's eyes as her daughter fled the room, she looked at her son who was standing and whiping the tears away that had run down her cheeks.
"Mother?" He asked.
"You can stay," she whispered. Dem pulled her to him, hugging her close before he scampered off to tell his Uncle the good news. She watched her only son leave her life, it was only then that she realized she had truly lost him months ago. The realization brought no relief to the pain of losing her son. She laid her head in her hands and began to sob profligately.
"Are you ready to go?" Bandit asked as Alan and Rena came down the stairs with a few pieces of luggage, Rena being carried by Charles.
"Yes, there's nothing left," she whispered. Bandit nodded and motioned the servants to open the great double doors of the palace. Charles carried her out to a lone carriage sitting in the courtyard.
"Thank you for everything Charles," she said, kissing him on the cheek. "You were a wonderful friend. Take care of Juliana."
"Thank you my lady, it was more than a pleasure to serve you," he said with a smile, then left. Alan hopped up beside her in the carriage, and was followed by Juliana who simply stood beside the carriage smiling. Tears were in her eyes as she looked at Rena.
"You were a good friend," Juliana whispered, hugging Rena.
"As were you, thank you for everything Juli, I wouldn't have survived without you, either time," Rena said.
"Oh lady it is horrible to watch you leave me twice, but I wil stay and watch over your son as if he were my own, that I can promise you. He won't be forgetting his parents."
"Thank you Juli, I will miss you," Rena said as Bandit climbed into the drivers seat. Rena leaned forward and kissed her friend on the cheek. Juli closed the door and stepped back from the carriage, Demetrius had not come to see them off.
Rena turned to her daughter and put her arms around her. "Let's go home," she whispered.
"To the Pearl," Alan said. "It will never be the same."
"No, it won't," Rena said with a sob. Her son would never return to the Black Pearl, and the Pearl would never feel completely safe again.
Jack waited in anticipation for Bandit to return so the plan could be put into action. When they had finally arrived three days ago he had sent Bandit to the palace to make the intended contancts and arrangements. Jack had mostly stayed below for the last couple of days, being fairly notorious, even clean shaven with his hair straight and combed, and his clothes rich and clean. So it was with mild irritation and a little aprehension that Jack watched Bandit drive up in a carriage at their appointed meeting time.
"What's all this then?" Jack asked suspiciously as Bandit hopped down from the drivers seat and went to the doors to open them. Jack lost his breath as the door opened to reveal his wife sitting there.
"Rena?" He whispered, stopping dead in his tracks.
"Jack," she said smiling. Jack wasted no more time, he rushed forward and pulled her from the carriage, holding her to him. She held him back tightly, but Jack noticed quickly that something was wrong, she wasn't standing steadily and was leaning heavily on him.
"What's wrong?" He asked, pulling away.
"My legs were broken Jack, while they have healed it will be some time before I can fully walk again," she said nonchalantly.
Jack was distracted from asking anymore questions by the voice of his daughter. "Daddy," she screamed, throwing herself at him. Jack held her tight, looking to the carriage for his son. When it became apparent that there was no one else in the carriage he turned to Rena with a questioning look.
"Not that I'm not exstatic te see ya both, but wheres Dem and how did ye escape?" He asked. Tears came to both their eyes.
"Let's get to the ship, we will discuss it all there," Rena said. Jack nodded and lifted her in his strong arms, carrying her across the gangplank and onto the ship. He took her straight into the Captain's cabin where he shooed two speechless women out of the room to talk to his wife and daughter. Rena spent the next half hour telling him what had transpired while he was getting a ship and a band of pirates.
"So then Dem is…?" Jack left the question unasked as he looked from face to face after the tale had been conveyed.
"Staying behind," Alan answered.
"We can't leave him here, we have te get him," Jack yelled, standing and getting ready to rescue his son.
"Father, he made the decision."
"Blast that he's only five, he doesn't know what he wants."
"Jack, you'll kill yourself," Rena whispered.
"It doesn't matter, I'll get Dem back."
"It does matter, what would we do without you?"
"Ye'd have Dem and all that matters now is him," Jack yelled.
"No you matter too, we all do. Dem has decided, as has Raul, he won't let him go," Rena yelled back.
"But my son," Jack whispered, sitting down next to his wife. "I have to save him."
"He doesn't look at it that way fa, he would look at it as you kidnapping him,not the other way around," Alan said, hugging her father. Jack looked at two of his loves, his wife and his daughter, and it was with a heavy heart that Jack stood from his chair and gave the order that he would never forgive himself for.
"Hoist the sails, I want out of here as fast as this damn ship can go," Jack yelled before going back to his wife and daughter to hold them both through the night.
So I don't own Jack Sparrow, I don't own the Black Pearl, I don't own Ana Maria... I think that's it really, I do own everything else, I created it in my own sick, demented and insane mind... So hope you enjoyed it!
