The next day they stopped at another port, Casaba. There they found the best doctor they could that was willing to sail with a group of pirates.

That doctor happened to be Dr. Alexander Morrison. He had been on pirate ships many times, and heard a lot about Jack Sparrow.

So when said pirate walked into his small office asking for help, he was quite surprised. He hadn't mentioned much of why he was needed, just said it was urgent. Alex had packed up a few things and left immediately.

The Pearl was docked in the harbor, all ready to set sail. They were off as soon as Alex had boarded.

He was brought into the captain's quarters, where a man sat next to the bed. Alex approached the man, who introduced himself as William Turner. He turned to the bed.

There lay a girl, no older than 18 he guessed.

"Her name's Kate, she's my daughter." Alex nodded. "She's…she's been beaten quite badly."

"How old is she?"

"Seventeen. She'll be eighteen in December." He pulled back the blankets and began his inspection.

Will stood and watched as the short, pudgy man worked; prodding her arms and legs to check for broken bones. He helped where he could, but found the experience almost too much to take. But he wouldn't leave her. She needed him.

Dr. Morrison leaned back and wiped his forehead with a handkerchief.

"How long has she been out?"

"Two days so far." Alex sighed.

"I don't know how to tell you this Mr. Turner, but if she doesn't wake up in the next few days, I doubt she will." Will felt his heart drop.

"Is there anything-"

"You've done all you could. All there is to do now is wait." Will nodded as the doctor left. He stared down into Kate's face.

She was so much like her mother.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alex closed the door quietly behind him, so as not to disturb William. Jack immediately approached him, and he told him the same thing he told Will. He nodded and took place at the helm.

He needed a drink, so he went below deck to the galley. He got his rum and sat at a table across from a very distressed young man.

"Are you the doctor?"

"Yes I am. Dr. Alexander Morrison." The man shook his outstretched hand.

"Jonathan Hayes. Is she going to be okay?" Alex took a drink of his rum.

"To tell you the truth, I don't know. If she wakes up in the next few days she might be." Jonathan sighed and buried his face in his hands.

"It's okay son."

"You don't understand. It's my fault." Alex raised an eyebrow.

"You beat her?"

"No, no I would never. I got her onto the ship in the first place."

"I'm afraid I'll be needing some clarification." Jonathan told the doctor everything, how he had met her in Savanna la Mar, and her last beating.

"Well the point is she's safe now." Jonathan nodded sadly. "You should go get some rest. You're not looking to good yourself." It was true. He hadn't been able to sleep well either. The guilt was too strong.

He got up and walked over the crew's quarters, where he had been given a hammock. The crew was still wary of him, and didn't talk to him much. That was fine with him. He didn't feel like talking.
