"It's been awhile, jack sparrow" Davey said, behind his tentacles that are supposed to be a beard.
Jack smiled and gets ready to fancy talk his way out of this mess, "Aye, mate. You haven't change. Still--- good looking"
"And you owe me a hundred souls, remember?"
"Of course I remember, I'll give it to you soon"
Davey looked at each of jack's men and walked around. All were feeling really scared, then he saw will with a girl. He suddenly looked aback. Will pulled Elizabeth to his back and draws out his sword.
"Ahh, you know, the two of them are supposed to be married" jack pointed out.
Everyone got disturbed when they heard a girl's cry and Elizabeth worries that something bad might have happen to Emily.
Two of Davey's men came out from jack's cabin and captured a young girl.
"Who told you, you can go in my cabin?" jack protested.
They presented Emily to Davey and he's surprise to see another girl on board. There's a lot of terror in Emily's eyes and soul. Jack suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stood between him and Emily.
"I'm telling you as early as now, she has no worth at all" jack said.
Davey came back to his sense and gave jack a single glare that made him move out of his way. He looked back at the girl, "So strange. I can feel the terror in your soul, but not the terror of losing your own life. More afraid of--- losing someone. Your soul is already equivalent to a hundred souls"
Elizabeth is about to answer back at him when jack suddenly spoke.
"I'll give you a hundred souls" jack pushed.
Davey turned around and face the now serious looking captain jack sparrow.
"Here's your chance of settling your debts with me and yet you still want to look for a hundred souls. And you said she has no worth at all. Tell me, what is she to you?"
"She is a part of my crew and I can't give you any of my men--- women" jack replied.
"Very well, I'm giving you three days to complete your task. If you don't have the hundred souls I'm asking for, we'll take the girl. For now, we'll take Mr. Turner to make sure you'll not run from our agreement"
Two men grabbed will and Elizabeth tried to push them aside, but Mr. Gibbs grabbed her. Actually, it's already planned that they'll use Will as bait and for him to know the whereabouts of the key of Davey Jones' chest.
Elizabeth ran towards her cousin as soon as they let her go and she was really pale and shaky. The monstrous creatures made their way back to the Flying Dutchman and Davey turned one last time to jack before fully leaving.
"Three days"
The Flying Dutchman sailed away from the black pearl and Will looked back at them, hoping that their plan would work.
Now that's a big problem jack has, a hundred souls in three days. Jack turned around when everyone panicked as Emily fainted. Ragetti and Pintel carried her off to the captain's cabin and the others get ready to sail away.
"Where do you suppose to get a hundred souls, jack? We're far off from Tortuga and if we turn around now, it'll take us three days to get there" Mr. Gibbs pointed out.
"What about in England?" there are pirates there too that might be willing to be your crew" Elizabeth suggested.
"England, then" jack said without arguments.
Emily is still unconscious because of the encounter awhile ago and she starts to dream. She found herself in an abandoned ship and heard something.
"Emily…Emily"
A man's voice was calling her voice in a soft whisper, but she isn't sure who it is. She can't see anyone else on the ship. Then suddenly, she thought that it might be her brother. The voice kept on calling her and she heard it from behind the stairs. She slowly approached the dark stairs and saw a dark figure behind.
"Brother?" she called out.
When she saw who it was, Emily's eyes widened in fright. The figure came out from behind the stairs revealing who he is, Davey Jones.
"Sorry missy" Davey said and suddenly stabbed Emily in the stomach with his sword, "You'll never see your brother again"
Davey pushed the bloody Emily off the ship to the sharks to feed on her. Emily suddenly gasped and woke up with cold sweats.
"Nightmare?"
Emily saw herself back in the captain's cabin and saw jack around the table, lighting a lamp. The sun outside starts to set and Emily is still a little shaky while wiping off the sweat on her forehead.
"Still thinking of sailing with us?" jack added.
"Yes, I will still stay" Emily answered confidently.
Jack didn't expect to hear that from her after what she saw and smirked, "How come you're so confident saying that? Jones might come to take you"
"Because I trust you that you won't let them harm me"
Jack isn't too sure about the last part. If he has no hundred souls within three days, he's willing to trade Emily just to save his neck.
"You know, love, you can't be too sure about----"when he faced Emily, he saw her clutching on to a necklace around her neck that took his attention.
He got up from where he is sitting and approached the young girl slowly while pointing at the necklace. "What is that?"
Jack sat beside her and Emily looked down on the silver heart locket she's clutching on to and her worries fade suddenly.
She smiled. "Oh, it's a locket. I don't have the key, though. Mom said that my brother, the one I'm looking for, was the one who gave me this"
Jack took a closer look at the locket and gently touches the cold material, "What's your last name again?"
"Heartgrim"
In the middle of their conversation, Elizabeth suddenly barged in when she heard that Emily is already awake. She went beside her excitedly and hugs her tight.
"Emily, finally you're awake" Elizabeth exclaimed.
As she worries about Emily, the two ladies didn't even noticed the captain left the cabin. Jack went to the quarter deck, sat on one corner, absent mindedly. He took out his compass from his jacket and underneath the compass box is a hidden compartment. He pulled it open and took out a small shiny thing. A key that matches Emily's locket.
"It can't be" he muttered.
It seems that jack is hiding something from the whole word; a deep dark secret. Dear ol' captain jack sparrow wasn't always a pirate like he said. He was once a young lad who lived in England with his mother, father, and younger brother. Their house was near the port and he'll usually play at the port, pretending to be a pirate. As he grows up, he got interested in adventures, sword fights and buried treasures. But, his father wasn't amused at all. He despised everything about pirates. Hard to believe, jack's father was no pirate keeper of the code---not even a simple pirate. His father worked for the government. One night, the port was ambushed by pirates. Upon hearing that, young jack got excited and left home to go to the pirates. Pirates started smuggling goods from the people and guards fought with the pirates. The captain of the pirates, captain Teague, saw him and asked if he'd want to be a part of the crew. The young jack thought of no good reason for going back home; his father hated him. And so, jack left England with the pirates. Captain Teague changed jack's last name Heartgrim to Sparrow and treated him as his son. Years had passed and jack became a captain of his own ship, the black pearl. The very youngest captain.
One day, his crew stopped over England's port and jack decided to see his family. He went back to his old house and saw his mother, a bit older already. Though jack looks like a pirate already, his mother still recognized him and gave him a tight hug. Jack was happy to see her again and his brother. Then he found out that he has two new siblings; a boy and a girl. Jack wanted to spend time with his new siblings, but his mother warned him about his father. The man was still working for the government and would kill any pirate he laid eyes on. Even if it is his own son. Jack decided to leave his family forever and left the silver heart locket to her youngest sister at least to remember him by.
"Jack, you alright?" Mr. Gibbs asked, walking towards him.
Jack stopped with his flashback, hid the key, and stood up, "Mr. Gibbs. How many days till we get to the port of England?"
"By tomorrow morning we'll get there, sir"
That night, Elizabeth watched over Emily as she sleeps until jack came back. Elizabeth kissed the young girl's head and marched towards jack and keeps her voice down as much as possible.
"You're not going to let them take her, right?" Elizabeth asked, nearly teary eyed.
Now that the terrible past jack has been avoiding finally arrived, he wouldn't let Davey lay his creepy hands on Emily.
"Of course not, love. Take a rest now" jack whispered.
Elizabeth left the room and made her way to the other room. Jack approached his bed, sitting beside the sleeping young girl, and strokes her head. After many years of running, jack never thought of stumbling upon family.
Emily moved a bit and opened her eyes, seeing the charming captain smiling at her.
"Hi captain" she whispered, grinning.
"Hi" jack answered back.
"Where will we be heading next?"
"England, we'll be waiting for William there"
"England, that's---nice" but she doesn't sound happy at all.
Jack looked at her curiously since she should be happy to be back home, "You don't seem excited about it"
Emily slowly sat up and pulled her brown hair over her right shoulder.
"I am happy, but my family might take me back. You see, they already found out that I left my father"
"Do they know your reason?"
"Well yes, they were the ones who mentioned that I have a another brother"
"How did they feel about your plan?"
Emily squints at the witty captain, "Is this an interrogation?"
Hours passed by and Emily decided to tell jack her life story. She rests her head on jack's chest and jack placed an arm around her.
"So, I live in England with my mom, Estella Heartgrim, and my brothers Stephen and Frederick. Stephen is the oldest and we have ten years of gap. I'm guessing he's just a year younger than you are. Anyways, he stood up as the father figure for Frederick and I when father is in Port Royal. Frederick, well, he's three years older than me and a pain. The two of us usually fight"
"About what?" jack butted in.
"Stupid small things" Emily confessed.
She continued her story. "Anyways, even though we're like that, Frederick and I are really close. He always takes my side when our father scolds me"
"How did you know that you have another brother?" jack butted--- again.
Emily couldn't forget the day she knew about that.
Before continuing, Emily fixed her position and wrapped her arms around jack's waist getting comfy.
"It was six years ago. Mom, my brothers and I were walking around town when Frederick mentioned something. 'What do you supposed happened to our other brother?' I was so surprised to hear that and confronted mom. It seems like they have kept something so important for a long time. Mom simply said that pirates took him long before I was born. But when I turned three, Frederick said that he saw that brother of ours. He left me this heart locket and that was the last time my family saw him."
"Does this brother have a name?" jack asked, stroking Emily's head with the tip of his fingers.
"That's the strange part; mom or Stephen can't mention a name"
Jack felt relieved about that and lets out a deep breath.
Almost midnight, Emily began to yawn and her eyelids get heavier by the minute.
"Hey jack" Emily muttered, "Do you still think I'll see my brother?"
Jack finds the question amusing and stared at the ceiling with a smile, "I'm sure you'll see him, love. You're willing to stay on a pirate ship just to find him. When he sees you, he'll be very proud to have a little sister as you"
The room became quiet and jack is quite surprise. He was waiting for a reply from Emily, but when he looked down, Emily is already snoozing. It made jack smile again and hugged her tight and closed his eyes.
"I'm proud of you" jack muttered before falling asleep.
For the first time, jack sleeps with Emily not as a crew man, but as siblings.
The next morning, Emily woke up with the sun shining on her face. She slowly opened her dazzled eyes and sat up, stretching her arms. She found herself alone in the room and could hear Marty instructing to drop anchors. She got up and walked out of the room and found lizzie helping out with the masts. Elizabeth saw her too and left the work to the others and went to hug Emily.
"Are you feeling a lot better?" Elizabeth asked.
Emily nodded and tucks her hair behind her ears as it gets blown, "I really do. Jack kept me company while I was sleeping"
"And you'll feel much better, we're already in England"
Emily looked at the port and recognized it from her younger years. She is back in her hometown.
