A/N: Sorry I haven't updated guys, its exam time for me! Over the summer I may not post anything, because of camp (Still hoping I got it!) Today's a very supernatural day. Friday the 13thand there's a full moon… *ghostly noises* I'm joking, I'm joking. Hope you all have a good day today, and a great weekend!
Annabelle slowly opened her eyes and raised her head. After the picnic, not only had Hector gotten her favourite- strawberries- but he had also carried her back to the shack, and then helped her into bed, where she had curled up against him and fallen asleep.
"Yer awake." Hector sat off to the side, looking out the window.
"You're up." She smiled shyly and he smiled back.
"Bell… Things have been happening with Jack." Hector looked at her and she rolled her eyes.
"Isn't there always something?" She snorted, and Hector rolled his eyes.
"No, Bell. He's been sent to the locker." Hector said gently.
"WH-what?" Annabelle sat up. "No."
"Aye. Young master Turner, Miss Swann, Ragetti, Pintel, Master Gibbs and Cotton are downstairs." Hector listed off the names as Annabelle stood up and headed towards the door. "Bell-" Annabelle didn't hear his sentence finish as she rushed downstairs, and her eyes widened as who sat at the table in front of her.
"William!" Annabelle ran forward, and Will hugged her.
"Miss Rose. I didn't expect to see you here." Will looked surprised as Annabelle smiled. "Haven't I told you to call me Will?"
"Haven't I told you to call me Annabelle?" She retorted, and pulled away with a smile. The young blacksmith turned pirate was still a spitting image of his father, and Annabelle shook her head.
"Poppet?" Annabelle looked past Will to see Ragetti and Pintel looking at her.
"I didn't expect you two." She smiled and hugged them both, and they exchanged a surprised look.
"I'd say the same for you." Pintel said, and she chuckled.
"Annabelle, you hug everyone else, but ole' Joshamee?" Annabelle squealed as Gibbs hugged her, and laughed.
"Mr. Gibbs that be enough." Gibbs let go with a chuckle, and Hector wrapped his arms around Annabelle's waist. "Have yeh said yer hellos now?"
"Almost. Elizabeth…" She saw Cotton and smiled. He nodded and the parrot on his shoulder squawked.
"I'm right here." Annabelle gently hugged the girl, Hector's arm still around her waist, and then pulled away with a raised eyebrow.
"No dresses?" She looked at the governor's daughter, who wore a pair of pants and a shirt.
"It would have gotten in the way." Elizabeth explained.
"Alright, now that we've all talked, we need to discuss the matter of Captain Sparrow." Hector said, all business as usual, and Annabelle rolled her eyes. "The pirate lords are gatherin' a shipwreck cove, and Jack never named a successor." Annabelle's eyes widened.
"Pirate lords?" She breathed, and Hector glanced at her.
"Well, if Jack's a pirate lord, all we need to do is get him out of the locker." Will said with a frown. "But that's not possible."
"Unless you went in afta witty Jack." Tia smiled. "De pirate lord of Singapore, he has de maps ye need."
"He does." Hector nodded. "Then we know where were headed. Now, getting there…" Annabelle looked at Tia, who had a slight gleam in her eyes, as if she was waiting for something, and frowned, but before she could say anything Hector said her name and she turned her gaze back to the plan, but Tia's waiting eyes stayed in her mind.
