Chapter 11

Reality

Anasyn woke the next morning to realize that she had fallen asleep at the helm. She stood up and made her way down to Jack's cabin. Just as she was about to knock she remembered what had happened the night before, with that she fell to the floor and let the tears flow.

She was so confused, everything felt so unreal and as if it should be in a book of fairytales.

'But no… This is reality, Ana.' She thought to herself.

Anasyn pulled herself together, wiped the tears from her eyes, stood up and knocked on Jack's cabin door, wondering if Will had fallen asleep in here.

'Who the bloody hell is it?!' Came a growling voice from behind the door.

'Oh stop it and let me in.' Said Anasyn with impatience. After that she heard someone fall off a bed, stumble to their feet and make their way over to the door.

Jack opened the door to find Anasyn standing there with red puffy eyes and hair that scared even him.

When he saw this, all he wanted to do was embrace her for a long time, but he couldn't, or he didn't know how to… He had been detached for so long he forgot how show sympathy or affection. Yet he felt something strong for Anasyn at that moment, something he couldn't explain even to himself… Once again he thought of Rochelle, and the impeccable resemblance between her and Ana. It almost scared him.

"Did you break a nail?" Asked Jack, jokingly.

"No, why do you ask?" Anasyn was clearly confused.

"Well I just assumed, with you looking upset and all…"

"You're a bastard, you do know that, right?" Anasyn said coldly, looking him straight in the eyes.

"It's been said once or twice, yeah." 'But I don't mean to… Do I?' Jack asked himself… He really has to stop being so cruel towards her…

"Actually there's something I want to ask you my dear Ana." Jack had to ask… He couldn't take it any longer…

"And what's that?" Ana asked, wondering what sleazy question he's going to propose.

"Do you have a relative named Rochelle by any chance?"

"Yes, Rochelle was my mother's name. Rochelle De La Meurt… Why do you ask?" Anasyn wondered why asked such a simple question.

Jack's eyes widened… He didn't know what to say, or do. This girl was the daughter of the one woman he ever truly loved. At that moment he felt something he hadn't felt for a very long time, a sort of true happiness… Jack snapped back to reality when he realized Anasyn was talking to him…

"Jack? Are you alright? Why did you want to know about my mother?" Anasyn was truly confused at this point.

"Uh… Hmm… No reason…" Was all Jack could sputter out… And with that he stepped past Anasyn and walked out onto the deck.

Anasyn shook her head and walked into Jack's cabin, closing the door behind her. There she found Will, sound asleep on a chair beside the fireplace.

She couldn't imagine what he must be going through, and for a moment she felt a deep love for Will, she wanted to protect him. She softly walked over to the chair and she was about to wake him up when she heard Gibbs yell out.

"LAND HO!"

They had reached the Island of the Dead….
