Elizabeth Turner was asleep and dreaming blissfully of a time that felt so long ago when she was with Will in Port Royale. She breathed quietly in and out, one of her arms stretched towards the cot that lay beside her bed where her son slept too. The window next to her bed was opened a fraction so the pattering of the heavy rainfall could be heard, this gave the room a pleasant coolness and made it much easier to sleep. At that moment in time the Turner household was one of peace.

Liam was curled up in his cot sucking his thumb, his pirate hat lying next to him. Liam adored this hat and wore it every day, even in Church, rather than being disapproved of, most people loved it and slipped him so toys or sweets "for being such a cutie"

A loud banging awakened Elizabeth immediately, she instantly closed and barricaded the window, locking out the cool breeze. Quickly she attached her sheath to herself and out her sword in and grabbed the gun. Then after closing her bedroom door, she preceded down the stairs towards the direction of the loud banging against her front door.

"Elizabeth! Elizabeth! It's me, let me in! Please!" The voice was pleading, recognizing it Elizabeth let the gun fall to the floor, lit the lamps on the wall and opened the door immediately; there stood Katherine, absolutely drenched and in tears, with Rosalind clutching her, fast asleep and oblivious to what was going on.

"Katherine!" Elizabeth said momentarily shocked by her best friends appearance, hurrying over to her she ushered her in and made her sit on the comfiest sofa she could see and running over to where she kept her towels and wrapping it around her. Katherine was obviously in distress, tears were falling thick and fast down her face and she rocked back and forth, Rosalind perched on her hip. Elizabeth gently removed the girl from Katherine's grasp and put her into Liam other cot that lived downstairs. Running into the kitchen she grabbed the strongest drink she had, some Mulled Wine

Sitting next to her friend she put her arms around her and passed her the drink, wishing she had something stronger. Elizabeth sat there patiently waiting for the tears to stop.

"Oh Lizzy, its awful" Katherine said between her sobs, Elizabeth not knowing what she was talking about the mulled wine or the reason why she was crying; Katherine took a deep breath "He found out, George, my husband, he found out about everything. About Edward, about Daniel" this caused more tears to fill Katherine's eyes Edward had been caught by the East India trading company, and Daniel was the son she lost due to fever. "You know I told you George did not know about my past. He knows now and he's leaving me, he said he did not want to be associated with the likes of me!"

Elizabeth's grip tightened around Katherine's shoulder, inside she wondered how George had found out. "I was always scared he'd figure it out" Katherine carried on wiping her eyes on the handkerchief "Even by the fact this place is dominated by ex-pirates, but when I asked him, this was ages ago, I asked him how he came to this place" Katherine searched for a dry spot on the delicate piece of cloth she had in her hands, it was soaking wet, both by the tears and the rain. Elizabeth, finding an old, extremely thin blanket that she had when she was on the Pearl cut a piece out and handed it to Katherine. "Thanks, he said he was born here, his family have lived here for generations, so he can't have heard about this place's reputation, I mean it's no Tortuga." The tears had once again stopped and she looked up at Elizabeth "He was so angry when he found out, I was so scared" she buried her head in her hands for a while, but when she looked up she appeared to be quite composed, when she spoke it was barely above a whisper "He would never have found out if it weren't for that wench, Lavinia. it was her who told him. She was so jealous of me and George, she really wanted him for herself, but he chose me" a small, but regretful smile was on her face "She finally knew what she against me and she used it against me immediately. Oh, Elizabeth, George was so angry, he was so cruel, he said - he said that he was going to take Rosalind away from me, he could do anything he wanted, but that; that would be the cruellest of all" Katherine stood up and walked over to where Rosalind slept "I care so much about her, Elizabeth" she said softly, stroking her daughters cheek as she said this, "And he knows this, he just wants to hurt me, for lying to him. But can you blame me, i knew he would react like this; I was too scared to, he always said he hated pirates"

Elizabeth walked over to Katherine and put an arm around her friends shoulders, they stood there silently for a while, remembering Liam, Elizabeth ran upstairs to check on him, he was still asleep, walking back down but leaving the door open she smiled at her friend "You can stay with me" she said gently "I'll tell George if he comes here, that's you've left, gone to the mainland." Katherine looked up at Elizabeth "Kathy, he won't want to stay here, on this island, you'll be safe" she looked out the window "We can say you bartered a passage off of Aurum"

Katherine smiled, she couldn't help it "Thank you Elizabeth" she stroked her daughters cheek again "Rosalind is going to love living with Liam, she absolutely loves him"

A knock on the door made the two women jump. Katherine grabbed her daughter and hurried upstairs. Elizabeth opened the door, she saw George standing there; he was probably a handsome man, but his demeanour at this moment was so angry that any good looks that he could have possessed were lost on Elizabeth. His eyes and hair did not seem to have any distinct colour at all, and his eyes did not have the depth that she so loved in both Will and Liam.

"Is my wife here?" he asked striding past Elizabeth and walking around the room

Elizabeth kept her face impassive "Kath?" she asked "No"

"Then why, may I ask, that you are up at such a late hour" he said fiercely, it was no wonder, Elizabeth thought, that Katherine was so afraid of him. "You will not lie to me, Mrs. Turner"

"Liam, my son woke up, I gave him a drink and was cleaning up as you, so rudely, intruded in" Anger was apparent in her voice "And please keep your voice down. i do not want you to wake my son"

It happened to fast for Elizabeth to comprehend, the fist which flew out of nowhere and caught her on the side of her face, knocking her to the floor "You will not speak to me like that, you filthy pirate, no wonder why your husband left you after one day. I'm surprised he stayed that long"

Tears stung Elizabeth's eyes and she refused to let them fall, even when he came up so close to her face, pulling her hair One of my friends saw her come in here." he continued "Now where is she?"

"Alright!" Elizabeth said "Alright! She was here but she left, through the back door"

He did not release her, and instead pulled her hair tighter so Elizabeth let out a yelp of pain "Where did she go? Tell me now!"

"She only came in briefly, just to say goodbye to me and Liam. She said that she got passage on a ship , and she had leave right away" Elizabeth let the tears fall now, and George mistook it for missing her friend, he released Elizabeth who fell back rubbing her head where he had held her.

"I'm sorry for intruding. I do not wish to be associated with his island anymore. I will be returning to the Americas" Elizabeth looked confused as to why he was tell her this, and she picked herself up off the floor drawing herself to her full height she realized that she was taller than he was, shaking slightly she knew she looked weak. "And if my wife, should ever return here" He hit her again, this time Elizabeth only staggered, there was a fierce look in her eyes which suggested that there was more to come. Elizabeth quickly unsheathed her sword

"Do you want to know how I became Pirate King, not Pirate Lord, King? I do not think you do. Now get out and do not hurt me again" a stroke of inspiration "My husband taught me how to handle a sword, and now I have taught Katherine. So don't you dare cross her"

George left, for the first time since Elizabeth had met him he looked scared. As his footsteps downstairs and Elizabeth was certain he would never come back, she went up to where Katherine was, Rosalind was sleeping next to Liam in the large cot. Katherine stood up and the two women hugged. Elizabeth then retreated downstairs and brought the other cot upstairs into another bedroom. Katherine placed Rosalind in there.

Elizabeth returned after clearing up downstairs "Thank you Elizabeth" she said wearily, in the gloom of the bedroom she did not notice Elizabeth's swollen cheek "You're a true friend"

Elizabeth smiled "It's nothing" she said It's what Will would have done
