Chapter 29
Reappearance
It had been three days since they left Spanish harbor and Jack hadn't left his room with Saihrena. No one had been allowed in, not even their daughters; food was ordered to be left outside the door and every now and then Jack would take it, possibly even eat. Alan couldn't hide her worry.
Jessie had awoken the day after their rescue, bright eyed and horrified at what had been done. Alan spent the entire day locked in their cabin holding her sister as she sobbed. She had been the elder sister at that moment, holding the childlike woman in her arms as she told her story.
When she was finally finished she seemed clearer, and Alan knew it had helped a great deal to get everything off her chest. Jessie's thoughts then turned from herself to her family, as Alan knew they would.
"Where are mother, and father, and Logan? And what did he do to you?" Alan spilled everything from the time she had snuck out her window to the moment Jessie had awakened in her sister's arms aboard the Pearl.
Jessie was anything but happy when she heard of her mother and father's conditions, both were injured, one physically the other mentally. That was when they had charged to the Captain's cabin and demanded entrance. He had denied them.
So now they stood at the helm of the Pearl, Alan steering while Jessie stared over the side and into the ocean's murky depths lost in thought.
It was thus that Captain Davin came upon them, the Paradise appearing over the horizon as if by magic.
"Sails Ho," crows nest shouted down, drawing Alan from her reverie. She pulled out her spyglass and sighted her lovers ship with a large smile.
"At least something is going right," she mumbled. "Fly the white and bring us next to the Paradise ye mangy cads, and move," Alan shouted with a smile trying to copy her father's voice and mannerisms. The crew burst into laughter at her attempt and soon the white flag was flying in the air, answered by a similar white flag from the Paradise.
"So I finally get to meet this Captain," Jessie murmured with a smirk not unlike Jacks.
"Get whatever you're thinking from your head girl," Alan warned with an evil glare. Jessie just smirked again and headed down from the helm to help the crew.
Alan looked on in amusement as her sister climbed the rigging to loosen a sail, jesting easily with the crew. It didn't take long before the Pearl pulled alongside the Paradise. The crew easily slowed her and dropped anchor without needing orders.
Alan raced down from the helm and grabbed a rope, swinging onto the Paradise easily. Davin was there to meet her. As she landed he took her in his arms and held her closely.
"I didn't think I'd see ye fer two more days," he mumbled into her hair as he held her.
"We got what we needed and left," she said simply.
Davin pulled away from her and leaned down, kissing her softly. "I missed ye," he murmured against her lips.
"So aren't you going to introduce me?" A voice demanded as it broke into their moment. Alan rolled her eyes and turned to her sister.
"Jessie this is Captain Davin, Davin this is my sister Jessie."
"A pleasure," Davin said as he took Jessie's hand and shook it.
"Pleasure's mine Captain."
"Perhaps we should speak privately Davin?" Alan murmured. Davin nodded and led the two women into his cabin, closing the door firmly behind them.
"What's happened?" Davin asked as he offered the girls a seat. Alan and Jessie sat at the table in the center of his cabin looking from one to another.
"We need your help to get my brother back. He's been sold to the new Sultan of Turkey. We're going to need all the men we can get if we're going to get him back."
"I see," he said, rubbing his jaw in thought. "I can promise me own help, but as for me men I can't command them te do this, they'll have te do it of their own accord."
"We can pay them," Jessie said.
"The Black Pearl is full of the richest pirates in the world, we could pay whatever was needed," Alan agreed with a small smirk.
"Do ye have a plan?" He asked, his eyebrows raised in question.
"Rush in and kill everyone that tries to stop us."
"That's all ye have?"
"Well our mother and father are otherwise detained currently and can't be disturbed, mother could tell us everything about the palace, but she can't help us right now," Alan mumbled sadly.
"Why is that?"
"Demetrius hurt her badly," Jessie whispered. A look of understanding crossed his face at her words and he nodded.
"How many people do we have?"
"Sixty on the Pearl, though about ten to fifteen will have to stay with the ship, and whatever men come with you."
Davin nodded in thought. "Jessie could ye leave us fer a bit?" Jessie smirked, nodded, and left slamming the door behind her.
As soon as the door was closed Davin walked to Alan and began kissing her passionately, his tongue dueling with hers as his hands roamed over her body.
"I've missed you so much," Alan said when the kiss finally broke.
"I want ye te stay aboard the Paradise with me when we sail."
Alan pulled his lips to hers again, running her fingers through his dirty blond hair. "I wouldn't have it any other way."
