Chapter 8: Revenge

Luckily a small groups of soldiers were marching outside of Mrs.Hutchins shop. Isabella was lying on the floor unconsious, one of Mrs.Hutchins daughters, Bridget was fanning Isabella. Mrs.Hutchins looked the window of the shop and saw James behind the group, barking orders. She quickly ran out of the shop...

"Admiral Norrington"! Mrs. Hutchins yelled.

James quickly spun around as he heard Mrs. Hutchins cry...

"Hault"! James ordered. Suddenly the small group of soldiers stopped and turned around and followed James inside the shop. Once inside he saw Isabella's pale body on the floor, he rushed over to her and took her body into his arms. "What happened"? James asked eagerly.

"Well you see...Admiral, Dutchess Norrington was right here by the counter looking at some silk for the dresses she was to order. Miss Robin was sitting right over there-"

"Where is Robin"! concern washed over his face as he realized Robin was not there.

"Well...sir...I..we don't know. One minute she was sitting in that chair and the next she was gone, that's when Dutchess Norrington fainted." Mrs.Hutchins was crying now, the poor little dear must be lost...or worst, she thought to herself. James clenched his jaw, but kept his face stern. Suddenly, Isabella fluttered her eyes open to hear Mrs.Hutchins cries and James's yelling. Still in his arms she managed to wake.

"What happened...where is my cherie...James where is she"! Isabella began to scream as all her memories came back. When she turned around to get Robin she was not there.

"Isabella, its alright. I will find her." James was gently rubbed her back to soothe her. "Leutinant Groves"! Start searching for my daughter...I want every soldier to search this island high and low!" James ordered as every soldier in the shop began to file out and start searching.

"Admiral, I think its best you take Dutchess Norrington home". said Mrs.Hutchins

"No...no, I am not leaving without my little girl..no"! Isabella was sobbing in his arms.

"Darling its the best thing we can do right now. I promise I will find her". replied James.

"No..I am not leaving"! yelled Isabella

"Isabella listen, I will search for her! I do not want you to put our unborn child in any danger"! James yelled back, hoping that in this way he would convice her to go home. Isabella stood and did not even look at him and headed out of the shop, James followed right behind her.

Isabella stopped for a moment and notice Mr. Smith's sweet shop. She began to think...maybe Robin snuck out to go get some sweets. Isabella decided to go into the shop. James noticed she went the wrong direction and followed. "Isabella where are you going"! he demanded

She ignored him and went into the shop.

"Dutchess Norrington...ah, Admiral good to see you both. Miss Robin was in here earlier". Mr. Smith said.

"Was she...do you know where she went"? Isabella eagerly began to question the old man.

"I thought you knew where she was. She left with Dutchess Beckett to her manor for tea".

"What"! James practically shouted. "Why?"

"Well Miss Robin came in here, she wanted one of those small vanilla cakes..which unfortunately I had no more. At the same time Dutchess Beckett arrived, and told Miss Robin to join her for tea and that she had some small vanilla cakes at her home, and Miss Robin agreed. I thought Dutchess Beckett would send word out". Mr. Smith was shocked.

"No she did not". Isabella was enraged by this and quickly headed out the shop.

"Thank you Mr.Smith". James thanked the old man and went outside to get Isabella. "Come, lets go to Beckett palace and get Robin". James took Isabella's hand and led her to the carriage.


Charlotte's plan was working flawlessly...to cause problems between James and Isabella and to also make the whole Island realize what an unfit mother Isabella is.

"More tea Miss Robin". Charlotte offered the pretty little girl more tea. Charlotte was very impressed with Robin, she had impecable manners just as she was the queen of France herself. This was going to be very difficult Charlotte thought to herself, it appears that Isabella has taught her precious daughter well.

"Yes, thank you Dutchess Beckett." Robin found Charlotte to be a very nice lady, she treated her nicely, pampered her as if she were her own daughter.

"So, Miss Robin...tell me are you excited that your mummy will be having another baby"? Charlotte asked curiously.

"Oh...I am very happy indeed. I can't wait for the baby to be born". replied Robin

"That is nice to hear". smiled Charlotte

"Dutchess Beckett...Admiral and Dutchess Norrington are here". announced Lydia

"Send them in". Charlotte smiled knowing hell was about to brake loose.

Isabella quickly went over to where Robin was sitting and embraced her. James also came in with a very disturbed expression on his face.

"Robin, darling you gave me a fright...don't ever do that again to me. Thank heavens you are alright".

"I am so sorry, I forgot to send word that she was here. But it was a good thing I found her, and not some scum who would have kidnapped her". Charlotte commented cooly.

"Thannk you Dutchess Beckett. But next time I would appreciate it if you would send word...but of course there will not be a next time". James replied just as cooly. "Come along Robin". James took Robin into his arms and went to the carriage.

Isabella was about to leave, but Charlotte stood in her way.

"Not a thank you from you for helping your precious daughter, making sure she did not get kidnapped"?

"No...you took her without my knowledge, there is no need for me to thank you for taking her from me"! Isabella yelled.

"Well you should be careful and watch your children and gawk at yourself'! And you have the nerve to bring another poor innocent child into this world!" Charlotte shot back.

"I love my children! You on the other hand brought your son into this world to secure your place with Beckett's fortune! I really hope that your son does not end up like his mother and father...it would be a shame if your attitude put a black mark on that innocent child's life, with such sniveling, cold, vile, power hungry parents he has"! Isabella slamed the door to Charlotte's private salon. Leaving her boiling...

"You will pay for this Isabella Norrington...I will make sure of it"!
