My computer crashed last night, sorry for not updating. A Sunday I'm leaving for vacation for 2 weeks. But there's no computer so there will be no updates till I get back. Anyway this is how I wanted to cliffhanger you here, well a little bit from here.

Jessica went to her parent's room then saw something.

Josh, Linda, and Aaron were in the living room, when Jessica came down.

"Jess?" Aaron said when she ignored then.

"This isn't right."

"What isn't?" Linda asked.

Jessica looked up.

"It looked like the pirates were looking for something."

"Yeah their pirates."

She rolled her eyes.

"Follow me."

She went to her parent's room. And came back down to the fireplace. They followed her.

"Look at this." She held up her mother's necklace from her jewelry box.

"Yeah so?" Aaron said.

"What is it?"

"It's your mother's necklace." Linda said.

"No what is it?"

"Expensive."

"And pirates like things like this right?"

"Right!" Josh said catching her clues.

"So?" Linda said.

"Why would they ignore something like this, if they weren't looking for something?" Jessica said.

"That means that they took our parents for a reason." Josh said.

"You've got to be kidding." Linda said.

"Then why did they not take this and everything else valuable in the house?"

"Well, um, a."

"My point exactly."

"But what do they want?" Aaron asked.

"Well." Jessica said.

Josh turned around to face the picture to see if they gave any hints.

He knocked over a picture, and it smashed on the floor.

"Josh!" Jessica said angrily.

"Sorry."

Then Marissa came in.

"So I found out that it was your parents that are missing." She said.

"Yeah."

"Well get your stuff."

"Why?"

"Josh is going be staying at our house until your parents are back. And you two are staying at the governor's house."

"Why?"

"Because you're his family."

"Can't we stay here?"

"No!"

"Why not? Lin's 18, I'm 19, and Josh and Aaron's 20."

"You're right I'll get Aaron's stuff to stay here with you guys."

She left.

"Let's clean up this picture."

Jessica went to get a broom.

Aaron picked up the frame, then the picture. He looked at it then looked down.

"Jess what's this?" He said picking up a picture.

But before she could answer Marissa came in.

"Here's your stuff." She walked away.

Little did they know that she left something else.

"So what's this?" He said holding up the picture.

"I've never seen it before." She took it looked at it and turned it over.

This is what it said.

Dear Jessica,

Hopefully Linda, Josh, and maybe Aaron although it's not really important to him, are reading this as well. By now you have found out about our past. You need to know we did this to protect you; you would be dead if we didn't do that. But if we could have told you we would. We didn't want to do it, we're all sorry we should have told you, but we couldn't. But now you're old enough to protect yourselves.

Jack, Vannesa, Michael, Clarésse, Elizabeth, and Will.

"What are they talking about?" Linda asked.

"I knew they were hiding something!" Jessica said.

"But what?" Josh said.

"I don't know. Where do you want me to put my stuff?" Aaron asked.

"Just put it upstairs."

He picked up his stuff.

"Wait you forgot something." Jessica said.

"What?"

"A letter."

"That's not mine."

"You're right it's Jess's." Linda said picking it up.

"What?"

She took the letter and opened it.

(It was the letter that told the kids about their parent's pasts.)

A/n: I'm not going to write the letter.

"This is a joke." Linda said after they read the letter.

"They hate pirates, they can't be ones." Aaron said.

"Well think about it." Jessica said. "They protect was from their pirates enemies. They have the attitude, they are good sword fighters, your dad really hates them, they know a lot about pirates, and they are near the docks, and caves a lot and won't tell us why. I mean it's been there the whole time and we haven't realized it."

"You mean like, we've had the pieces, but we didn't put the puzzle together." Linda said.

"Yeah."

"Now I know why all of us love the sea. It's in our blood." Aaron said.

"What are we going to do about our parents?" Linda asked.

"What any pirate would do." Jessica said.

"Get them." Josh finished.

"Jessica! There are 2 more things in here." Linda said.

"What are they?"

"A compass and a necklace." She said handing them to Jessica. "That necklace I think would look good on you."

Jessica put it on.

"It looks kind of right actually."

"You're right." She looked at it. It was a simple gold chain, with a medallion on it.

It was a piece of the Aztec gold.

"This compass is broken." Aaron said.

"Wait there's a piece of paper that goes with it." Linda said.

"What does it say?

"This isn't broken, and shouldn't be…"

"Thrown aside, this compass will be your guide, for a journey, this is just one part, It leads you to, the deepest desire of your heart." Josh finished.

"How did you know that?" Jessica asked.

"I've seen and heard that before, when a was 1."

"You remember that."

"Scary."

"There's an inscription on here." Aaron said.

"What?" Josh asked.

"It says Captain Jack Sparrow."

"Wow. My dad was the captain."

"There's more. It says the owner of thisgot during theservingfirst mateVannesa Roberts."

"Ok my mom was the first mate that's creepy."

"What are we going to do to get our parents?"

That night they stole a ship and went to open water, Jessica was picked captain 3-1 over Josh, and Josh was picked first mate 3-1 over Aaron, Aaron was picked 3rd in command 4-0, and Linda last in charge 4-0.

The next morning they were sailing and another ship attacked them.

"Bring them forward!" The captain said. "Who's in charge?"

Jessica put on a brave face and said, "I am!"

"Really? Who's second?"

Josh and the same as Jessica and said "I am."

"Really? Throw them in the brig!" Said the captain. The kids hadn't seen the captain clearly and vice visa.

"Wait!" A voice said.

A girl emerged from the group.

"What is it this time?"

"Don't you realize who they are?"

"No."

"What are you doing here?" the girl asked the group of kids.

"That's none of your business, anyway why do you care?"

"Because I'm sure Will, Elizabeth, Clarésse, Michael, Jack, and Vannesa, don't want you out here."

"How do you know our parents?"

"That's not important now. So why are you out here?"

"Our parents got kidnapped, when we were away, and we want to save them."

"Well where were you going?"

"To save them."

"We'll help you because you have no clue what you're getting yourselves into. Do we have an accord?"

"But what about that boat?"

"We'll drop it off at Port Royal when we pass it. Savvy?"

"Ok." Jessica she shook the girl's hand.

"Good."

"What do we call you?"

"That's the captain, call him Bill, and call me Rebecca."

"Ok Rebecca."

That's how the biggest journey of their lives started that way, and it's a good thing that's the way they met Bootstrap Bill Turner, and Rebecca Swann that way.
