Everyone at the port is very busy with the trades when the Black Pearl dropped anchor. Jack called his crew to the main deck and everyone gathered around, including Emily and Elizabeth, and wait for whatever their captain would be instructing.

"Alright, gents--- and ladies, all of us will be staying in England until William gets back" jack explained while he walks back and forth, "And everyone act normal, no pirate talk or whatsoever, savvy?"

"Aye!"

Emily and Elizabeth just rolled their eyes because of what jack said about the pirate talk.

"But, where would we be staying?" Ragetti asked.

Now that's something jack hasn't thought of. England, of course, doesn't allow pirates to be hanging freely on their grounds. Once they find out, it's the gallows for them and for the people associated with piracy.

"We can stay at my place" Emily suggested.

The crew talked amongst their selves and liked the idea. No one would think that there are pirates staying at a government official's house. But jack came running to her and declined. He doesn't want to see his family, or rather, put them in danger.

"I don't think that's a great idea, doll" jack said with a smile.

Emily looked confused, "Why not? My family is very accommodating; you don't have to worry about it"

"Fine, but not everyone would be coming. The others will stay here on the black pearl, while I go with you, lizzie, wooden eye, pintel, and Mr. Gibbs"

"Okay"

Emily excitedly went down the pearl with her dearly beloved cousin and jack followed with the three men. Emily leads the way and followed the long path of tress. Their house is not that far from port and they could get there in just a few minutes.

Elizabeth faced her cousin as they walk at the quiet path.

"Are you excited to see them again?" Elizabeth asked.

"Of course, it's almost two years since I last saw them" Emily shared.

The four pirates are far behind and Mr. Gibbs noticed that jack is acting a bit strange---err. They're already on land, but jack still looks afraid.

"Something the matter, jack?" Mr. Gibbs asked.

Jack got startled when he spoke and he tried to act normal---well, the jack sparrow normal.

"Of course, why won't I be?" he said in a jolly mood.

"We're here!" Emily shouted.

Jack saw the white mansion ahead and made a disappointed face, "Oh, bugger"

Emily excitedly ran towards the house and started knocking very loud on the door. She fixed the way she looks while waiting; brushed her hair with her fingers, fixed her clothes and all. The others are standing behind Emily and jack sneakily walked away. The door slowly opened and Emily got stiff of nervousness yet happy when she the woman. The woman is nearly in her forties and yet beautiful. She is at medium height, wearing a beautiful green dress and her curly brown hair in a half pony. The woman recognized Emily and squealed as she pulls her into her arms.

"Ahh! Emily, child, thank goodness you're safe! I was so worried about you!" Estella, Emily's mother, sad and is already in tears.

Suddenly, two young men appeared behind her mother, looking very worried.

"Mother, what's the---"the blonde haired guy nearly dropped his jaw when he also saw the young girl.

"It's you. Stephen, look, it's Emily!" the blonde guy said to the browned hair, which seems like the older one.

The three of them hugged and Elizabeth ran to her aunt she haven't seen for quite a long time. Frederick saw the other three men standing and suddenly took out a pistol from his pocket. Emily got startled, and so is the others, and pulls his gun down.

"Frederick, no! they're friends" Emily exclaimed.

"But, they're pirates!" Frederick argued.

Mr. Gibbs sighed and looked at ragetti and pintel, "Blast it, we haven't done anything and yet they found out"

Elizabeth looked at Frederick curiously, "How'd you know they're pirates?"

"Everyone knows them. The crew of the famous black pearl that lord Beckett is looking for. He's actually after---"

"Jack. Where is jack?" Emily asked and looked around.

Estella and Stephen exchanged worried glances when they heard the name.

"Who's jack?" Estella asked.

The others are calling out jack's name while Emily answered her mother while looking around.

"Jack Sparrow, the captain of the black pearl. But I swear mother, not all Lord Beckett say is true. Jack is a good man; he let me stay on his ship so I can find my brother"

Estella realized that her daughter hasn't found out who really jack sparrow is.

"Come inside, child, and so is everyone. Stephen would look for him" Estella said.

Everyone went in while Stephen starts to look for his older brother. As soon as Emily took a step inside the house, she felt at home. She remembered everything in every corner of the big house. Her mother approached her with a smile and gently caresses her soft cheek.

"I prepared a warm bath for you and Elizabeth on the second floor. And gentlemen, the guest room is ready for the three of you" she said.

Ragetti and pintel looked really excited just imagining sleeping on soft beds.

"T-thank you, madam" they both said.

Mr. Gibbs, on the other hand, looked towards the window, "Where could jack be?"

Not too far from the heartgrim's mansion, is a field where their cows are. They own cows to have their own fresh milks. Surprisingly, jack is walking there muttering words to himself. Suddenly, he heard something rustling behind and quickly took out his pistol and faced whoever it was.

It was no other than Stephen, with his hands up.

"That's not the way home, jack" he said.

Jack put away his pistol underneath his jacket and smiled, "What made you think I'm going home?"

Stephen smirked and walked closer to him, "It's been eighteen years, jack. Did you ever think you'll be here again?"

"No. not until our little sister appeared"

"Emily, yes. She's quite stubborn as you are. And she always gets in an argument with father"

"I'm still older than you, mate, so watch your words" jack reminded.

"So, what troubles are you causing now, big brother?"

"I believe I haven't done any trouble--- at the moment"

Finally, will arrived in England safe. He's got the key and the chest for jack sparrow. Emily just finished her bath and let her damp hair loose then borrowed some of Frederick's clothes. She ran down hurriedly and saw everyone gathered around the table. Pintel saw her and called her to come closer.

"Will's got the key and the chest" he said.

Emily hurriedly joined them and saw will sitting beside jack. Will opened the chest and everyone gasped when they saw the beating heart.

"It's real" Emily mumbled.

Will sighed and faced jack, "This is your chance to kill him, jack"

Jack looked at the disgusting thing and made a puking face. He's already clutching on to his sword, but he saw Emily then his other family just outside. Somehow, living forever became a bad idea. He let go of his sword, locked the chest again, and took the key from will.

"I think I'll stab it in front of him" jack said, smiling.

Will got up along Elizabeth and wants to rest from all his rowing, ragetti and pintel goes to the black pearl to tell the others where to find them, Mr. Gibbs went to the guest room, and Emily wanted to go to her room. When she was about to go up, she saw her mom approach jack. She wants to know what she's up to, but Frederick suddenly pulled her.

"Hey Emily, let's go to your room and tell me all about your adventures" he said excitedly.

Emily smiled, "Sure"

While they go up, Estella locked the study room so she could talk to jack who is looking around.

"You've changed a lot, jack" Estella said softly.

Jack closed the book he's looking at and bravely faces his mother with a smile, "I've grown my hair and I'm a little---rich"

"That's good for you" Estella couldn't help it anymore and hugged him.

Jack felt weird, hugging the woman who bore him, after so many years.

Estella couldn't stop crying in joy, "So many years and I thought I'll never see you again"

"I'm very sorry, mum" jack said, patting her back.

"Would you really stab the heart? If you do that, we won't see you in ten years"

Jack sighed and realized it's already the first day of his task, "The lot of you managed to survive eighteen years without me. Besides, if I don't do it, Emily would be in grave danger"

"What, what are you talking about?"

"If I don't kill Davey Jones, he would take her. That was our deal"

"That's terrible!"

"I shouldn't have brought her on board in the first place. But, I couldn't. I feel at home with her"

"You know, for any mother, they'll let their daughter stay in a soft place while she's in danger. But, I still want her to be with you"

Jack looked confused, "Excuse me?"

Estella smiled and holds his hands tight, "Jack, I know you wouldn't put your sister in danger and I know you want to know her more"

She unlocked the study room and left already to do some work, leaving jack to think about things.

Jack slowly went out and saw the stairs.

Frederick is already talking to his sister when he remembered that he needs to do something in town. He left his sister and when he closed the door, he saw jack approaching.

"I know who you are, you're more than a pirate to our family" Frederick said with a smile and quickly walked down the stairs.

Emily is sitting on the soft cushioned bench beside her window, thinking, when someone knocked on her door.

"Come in" she said.

The door creaked open and jack slowly went in, smiling.

Emily smiled as she moves a little to give jack a space to sit on. Jack looked also out of the window and could see the port- and the black pearl- from the window.

"I was always like this" Emily mumbled absent mindedly, "Being the only girl, father is very strict and doesn't allow me to go out. That's why he took me with him in Port Royal. So he could watch over me and make me his prisoner in our own home"

Jack knows how strict their father can be and caressed Emily's soft hand, "Sorry to hear that, love. It must be very hard for you to cope with someone who doesn't understand you"

"Exactly, he doesn't know what I feel. All he thinks bout is himself. Anyways, what did you and my mother talked about?"

"We were talking about whether leaving you here or not" jack lied.

Emily gulped, "What did you say?"

"Hmm, surprisingly, I stupidly said you'll still come. It's hard to let you go"

The young girl felt so happy, at the same time, flattered. The past few days, jack has been treating her special and Emily is feeling a bit---strange.

"Thank you--- for everything"

To show her appreciation, Emily leaned forward to give him the kiss he has been trying to have, but this time, jack is the one who backed off.

Emily looked confused and looked at the captain, "I thought you wanted it?"

Jack giggled and looked out and then to her--- to her beautiful eyes.

"Before, I did" he explained then holds Emily's cheek, "I love you, I really do. But not the kind of love you're thinking"

He stood up and left Emily all alone in her room. Emily looked out again, biting her lips.

Men are hard to understand, she thought.

Two days have passed since they stayed on land. Jack is eating breakfast along everyone else when will puts his fork down and breaks the silence.

"Jack, it's the third day and you have no hundred souls" will pointed, looking at jack across him.

Emily is nervous, even her family, but jack is calm drinking his rum instead of juice.

"Relax, William, we have his heart. He can't touch Emily" he explained, winking at the young girl.

They're about to eat again, when someone kept on knocking the door. Stephen got up and opened the door. When he opened it, no one was there.

"Captain!"

Stephen got startled when he saw a small man down.

"Ah, Marty, what seems to be the problem?" Mr. Gibbs asked.

"We just saw Davey's ship" Marty exclaimed.

Everyone looked worried and waited for the captain's order. Jack finished his glass of rum and smirked.

"Let's go to the black pearl"

They all got up, left the house, and back to the port. Emily is hugged by his family and jack waits for her.

"Take care, alright?" Estella said and keeps on kissing and hugging her.

Emily is starting to be shaky yet she managed to smile, "I love you all. Promise I'll be back with our brother"

"Bring Emily back safely, Sparrow" Stephen said with a grin.

Jack smiled, "You have my word"

After goodbyes, jack and Emily made their way the crowded port and went on the black pearl.

Jack took out his telescope and clearly saw that it is the flying Dutchman. But, they noticed that the Dutchman isn't moving.

"Do you think he's waiting for us?" Elizabeth asked, holding a sword.

The ship suddenly trembled with the loud thump and Will realized what it means, "They're summoning the Kraken"

"Ready the cannons, the lot of you!" Mr. Gibbs commanded.

Under the black pearl, a gigantic creature starts to rise and sticks to the ship. Everyone on the black pearl gets ready and Emily couldn't believe to see such huge tentacles.

"Everyone, get ready!" Will exclaimed.
