Elizabeth is looking at the wide sea when she finally heard a door close. Jack just finished talking to Emily and went on his way to the quarter when Elizabeth ran after him.
"Jack, what did she say?" she asked curiously.
"She's going to stay" jack simply said and took the helm from cotton.
"What, that can't be! Make her change her mind! She doesn't know what we're up against!"
Jack rolled his eyes, getting annoyed already, and smiled at her, "Love, she already knows what we're up against and I'm captain. I don't have to take orders from you, savvy?"
"How can you be so cruel? What if she was your sister, would you let her stay?"
"Well, she's not my sister"
Elizabeth is so mad and marched her way far from the arrogant captain. Emily, who is feeling much better, went out of the cabin and inhaled the fresh air. She leaned at the side of the ship and looked at the clear blue water.
"The sea is very beautiful, isn't it?"
Emily turned to her right and saw will joining her.
"It really is" Emily answered, looking back at the sea.
The sea is very wide and one must really venture to see what's on the end. Even under the sea should be ventured.
"She's mad, isn't she?" Emily asked, talking about her cousin.
Will sighed, "Err, sort of"
"I don't even understand why she's mad. I'm not mad at her for risking her life joining a pirate's crew"
"She thinks of you as a-"
"As a kid. Ever since I was smaller, she thinks of me as a weak little girl"
"I'm sure that's not true. She treats you like a sister; she just wants you to be safe"
Emily just sighed and doesn't want to further talk about it anymore and changed the topic, "Are you a pirate, Mr. Turner?"
"I, uh, recently" will answered.
"So you weren't always one?"
"No, I was a black smith in Port Royal"
Emily looked back at the sea with a reminiscing smile, "I want to be a pirate too. To go off in adventures, sword fights and look for buried treasures"
"You like adventures?" will asked.
It is very unusual for a girl to like those kinds of stuffs, but Emily just really loves it.
"Very much" Emily confessed with a shy smile, "My mom said that I'm a perfect reincarnation of my lost brother. But, I can't be a pirate"
"Why not? Anything is possible"
"If your father isn't a member of the government, it's possible. But my father, Isaac Heartgrim, works with them. It'll be a shame for him to have his only daughter turn to a pirate and be sent to the gallows"
"Will?"
Emily and will turned around and saw Elizabeth. The two cousins didn't mind each other, but will wants them to fix things. He approached the love of his life and talked to her for a minute, "Talk to her"
Will gently pushed Elizabeth towards Emily and he left. Elizabeth doesn't know what to say or do. Jack just got out of the cargo with a new bottle of rum and noticed the young William turner behind the stairs. He slowly sneaked beside will and watched whatever he is looking at.
It was the two women.
Jack snorted and drank his rum, "You know, you can just approach them"
"Quiet" will said hoarse fully.
Elizabeth finally had an idea to start their conversation and took jack's compass from her coat.
"Here" Elizabeth said handing the black compass to her cousin.
Emily took it curiously and opened it. The compass doesn't point north.
"It's a broken compass" Emily said.
"Uh, no, it's not. See, that compass points to what you want most"
"No lies?"
"Of course I wouldn't lie to you, Emily. Okay, think of me real hard and the compass will point me"
Emily thinks that her cousin is going crazy because of the heat, but nothing is wrong with trying. She cleared her mind, just like Elizabeth said, and thought of her real hard. She checked the compass and surprisingly, it pointed at Elizabeth.
"Such a strange compass" Emily mumbled with a smile.
Elizabeth strokes Emily's back and smiled, "It's jack's. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I lend it to you"
Emily cleared her mind again, trying to see if it would point to where her brother is. The compass starts to slow down and stopped northwest. She looked at the direction and saw jack and will behind the stairs. The two men tried to look around as if they just arrived there and Emily puts the compass in her pocket.
"Lizzie, you don't have to worry about me" Emily assured.
Elizabeth knows that Emily is a grown up already and she has the capacity to take care of her own.
She nodded sincerely and smiled again, "I know. And I promise that I will help to find your lost brother even if it means fighting a lot of pirates"
"Thanks lizzie"
All day, Emily played with jack's compass. All she thinks about, the compass shows; where lizzie is, jack the monkey, etc. but, it doesn't lead to her brother. Emily sat back on the stairs, where Mr. Gibbs is resting, and sighed.
"What seems to be the problem, child?" Mr. Gibbs asked, drinking his own rum.
"This compass" Emily pointed out and starts to shake it, "It's so- odd. Whenever I think of my brother, it leads to--- him"
Mr. Gibbs followed Emily's finger and saw jack at the quarter deck looking at his telescope.
"He can't possibly be my brother, isn't he" Emily added.
Mr. Gibbs laughed and agreed with the young girl.
"Of course he can't. Ye know jack's father is one of the most important pirates of all. The keeper of the code" he explained.
"I see, well maybe, the compass is pointing beyond him?"
"Aye"
Emily opened the compass again and as suspected, it pointed at jack again. She got up to the quarter deck and stood beside him, but it still pointed at him. Jack watch Emily circle him and starts to feel weird about it.
"What are you doing?" jack asked with his drunk voice.
"This is terribly--- terribly stupid" she uttered.
"What is?"
"Your compass is broken" Emily said, giving him back the black compass.
"Maybe you just don't know how to use one" jack pointed out and went back to his cabin and Emily followed.
For the past few days, jack hasn't got any rest yet, adding the fact that he's the captain. He puts his hat on the table, along with his other stuff, and lied down.
"You're going to sleep?" Emily asked, looking at the maps on the table.
"Aye" jack muttered and closed his eyes.
"But, it's such a nice afternoon. Don't you want to see the sunset?" Emily asked.
"I have seen the sunset several times, love. Now shush"
Emily pouted her lips and pulled a chair beside the captain and talks to him while he sleeps.
"So, being a pirate is in your blood?" Emily asked enthusiastically.
Jack opened an eye and looked at her confused, "What made you say that?"
"Mr. Gibbs told me about your father. Is your mom also a pirate?"
"Is this an interrogation?"
Emily grinned, "Just--- curious"
Jack doesn't really like talking about his family; he likes it better to be a part of history. But, he couldn't resist when it's Emily who is asking.
"No, she's not. I have no mom" he simply said.
Emily felt bad. "How about brothers and sisters?"
"None"
"Are you close to your father?"
Jack groaned and doesn't think that this interrogation has no end--- and he won't get any rest--- so he sat up and decided to let time pass by with a chat.
"Yeah, I'm quite close to him" he answered bleakly.
Emily looked envious and sighed, "You're lucky. Me, I'm not really close to my father. When I told him that I want to find my brother; he said that I should forget about it. What a stupid father"
Jack chuckled and remembered someone from his past that is quite similar to Emily's father.
"Well, I'll leave you to rest now" Emily said, but jack grabbed her on the wrist.
"Love, you've already disturbed my rest. Best if you keep me company"
"Fine then."
"Don't you have more questions for me?"
"Have you killed anyone?"
While they're having a conversation, will, Elizabeth, and Mr. Gibbs are on the main deck, looking around. There's no near land or port in sight.
"The breeze is a bit eerie" Mr. Gibbs pointed out.
Will looked down on the water and can't even see a single sea creature swimming.
"He must be somewhere near" will said.
Mr. Gibbs told the crew to get the cannons ready just in case they have another encounter with Davey and his crew.
Inside the captain's cabin, jack and Emily are laughing with their conversation, until a loud thump made the black pearl tremble.
"Did we hit something?" Emily asked curiously.
Jack knows that they didn't hit anything and he suddenly felt shivers down his spine. He got up, put on his hat, and faced the worried young girl.
"Under any circumstances, do not leave this room" he instructed.
Emily ran to the closed door and watched everyone getting ready for something. Jack walked around the main deck and will approached him, carrying his cutlass.
"He's here" jack reassured.
After will said that, another loud thump and the flying Dutchman finally rose from the water. Emily is looking out the window of the captain's cabin and couldn't believe what she just saw, a scary looking ship with hideous creatures.
"This isn't possible" she uttered and looked for a place to hide.
The Flying Dutchman's crew and captain went on board the black pearl, armed, scaring almost the whole crew of jack. The fish faced men move aside and let their captain, Davey Jones, walk towards the black pearl's captain.
