ALAYNA'S POV

The next morning, Alayna woke up facing Garrett, and his hands were wrapped around her back. Alayna knew exactly what had happened the night before, but she didn't regret it. However, she was in fact insanely worried that she said yes to marry him. Alayna had never quite imagined herself being married, and she loved Garrett, but she didn't want to get married just yet. Of course, telling Garrett that wouldn't be easy, and she didn't want that stress right now. So instead, she climbed on top of him and rocked him awake.

A kiss on the cheek woke Garrett up and he turned onto his back and wrapped both arms around her back and caressed it soothingly.

"Can I help you?" He asked jokingly in his cute sleepy voice. Alayna smiled and shook her head.

"Nope," She said sweetly, resting her head on his chest still looking at him. His eyes closed again and he sighed. Alayna laughed and moved back over to her side and threw the covers away, when she realized she had no clothes on at all. She gasped and grabbed the top blanket off the bed and wrapped it around her bare body. Garrett laughed at her, then rolled over and went to sleep again.

As Alayna got dressed, she thought about where she had to go this morning. She couldn't tell Garrett, or Jack, or even Angelica. She was going back to her and Angelica's house this morning to get the rest of her things. She wanted to take this walk to think about basically everything and this past week alone. How in one week her world was turned around completely.

Alayna tip toed out of the room, taking one last look at Garrett sleeping peacefully. She shut the door quietly and walked slowly downstairs, careful not to creak too much. She was hoping no one would be awake, but that would be too much to ask for in this household.

"Where are you going dear?" Elizabeth asked just as Alayna opened the front door, startling the life out of her.

"OH! Oh Elizabeth, you scared me,"

"Well where are you off to so early?" She asked sort of skeptically.

"Please don't tell anyone, I'm going back to my house to get the rest of mine and Angelica's things," Elizabeth eyes widened and she shook her head.

"Alayna that's not a good idea darling, it's too dangerous. Take Garrett with you or Jack,"

"No, please, Elizabeth, I want to go alone. I need to say goodbye to that place."

"Just be safe, alright?" Elizabeth said wearily. Although Alayna wasn't her daughter, it felt like she was.

"Of course," Alayna said. She felt better knowing that at least someone knew where she was going. As she ran out the door, Elizabeth stayed in the doorway, watching Alayna run off.

The walk was peaceful as usual. The shops around town were just beginning to open, it was 8am. Shopkeepers nodded to her. Somewhat in kindness, but also in suspicion. Alayna kept her head low and continued walking. Down to the shoreline and into the trail in the woods. It seemed more quiet than usual in the woods today. Unlike Port Royal where shops were just opening, Port Prince was just full of drunken men and women stumbling out of bars and hotels. No one noticed Alayna walking through town, unlike Port Royal. She looked normal to them. When her dark house came into view, she sighed and continued forward.

GARRETT'S POV

When Garrett woke up, he rolled over expecting Alayna to be there resting peacefully too, but she wasn't there. Garrett rose in bed and looked around his dark room. The sun was beginning to shine through the blinds on his window. His bathroom door was open and there was no sight of Alayna. The last he remembered seeing her was earlier, but just barely. He remembered her smiling on top of him.

Garrett smiled at the thought and sighed. He got out of bed and got dressed quickly. He threw the covers over his bed.

"That looks good enough," He commented on his bed making skills. He opened his blinds to the early morning sun and opened his window. The fresh air smelt wonderful. Due to his wonder of where Alayna was, he decided to go downstairs and see if anyone else was awake. His mother and Jack were in the kitchen drinking tea when he walked in.

"Good morning, Garrett. Tea?" Elizabeth asked.

"Sure, do either of you know where Alayna is?" Garrett asked sitting across from Jack. Jack looked up and furrowed his eyebrows.

"Doesn't she stay in your room, boy?" Jack asked in a low voice.

"Well yes, but when I woke up she was gone. Mother, do you know where she is?"

Elizabeth was facing the wall when Garrett asked. She gulped and her nerves got the best of her.

"N-no. I don't," She stuttered. Garrett looked at his mother and Jack looked up from his tea to look at her with concerned eyes.

"Where is she, Elizabeth?" Jack asked in a low voice. Elizabeth turned around and sighed.

"Well…"

ALAYNA'S POV

The house felt abandoned, no one had taken care of it. The door creaked open eerily. There was dust everywhere. Sunlight peered dimly through the windows, illuminating the dust particles in the air. Alayna went straight to Angelica's room first. She opened her mother's jewelry box and took all the jewels in it, shoving them in her pockets. Next was the bed stand. Angelica always kept money hidden in the drawer. When Alayna opened the door, there was nothing, someone had already emptied it. Probably Angelica from the last time we were here. Alayna shrugged it off and walked into the hallway and down to her room. Her bedroom door was open.

Was it open when I left? Alayna asked herself. She was a bit nervous about the whole situation suddenly. She felt as though someone was in there with her.

BANG! The door slammed shut behind her and she whipped around. Her worst fears came to reality as she came face to face with Blackbeard. Her jaw dropped and she had no time to react as he grabbed her arm and spun her around and placed his other hand over her mouth. His grasp was firm and she couldn't even open her mouth to bite him

"Get in here!" She heard him call above her. Two more men rushed into the room. They were from Port Prince, no doubt. They were middle aged, grungy, and disgusting. One was holding a metal pan. She looked wide eyed at the pan then at the man's devilish smile. The next thing she knew she was knocked out cold…

GARRETT'S POV

After his mother had told them where Alayna was intending to go, Jack, Garrett and Will all took off towards Port Prince.

"She shouldn't be going there alone," Jack murmured. Garrett felt he was just as concerned as Jack. Will was behind them, not as concerned as Jack and Garrett, but enough to leave work and join them. He also came in case something was going on. Port Prince was alive, as usual, with drunken men and women. Jack never stopped though; he pushed his way through the crowds of people in a bee line to Angelica and Alayna's house. The front door was open. The old vase that usually sits at the bottom step was knocked over and cracked.

"Alayna," Garrett whispered, following Jack inside. Nothing was amiss though. Jack and Garrett went right down the hallway; Garrett into Alayna's room and Jack into Angelica's.

"Jack! You need to see this," Will called from the kitchen. Jack ran out first, followed by Garrett. Will was shaking as he handed Jack the noted he picked up from the table.

It read:

I took her, good luck finding her- Teach

Jack's eyes glowed with anger. He stormed out of the house…
