Epilogue:
Ten years had gone by, and living half on land and half in the ocean had become natural to me, I still thought of Maccus when I swam with the Hammerheads, and I still missed him. But the pain of watching the Dutchman sail away from Tortuga had dwindled to almost nothing. I'm not ashamed to say I ran from my punishment, but I am ashamed to say that I enjoyed the look of sadness in Davy Jones' eyes when he came to look for me one last time.
I think by now, I'd earned the title 'Pirate', because when I learned that I wasn't just feeding myself on fish, I began to steal more nutritious food from shops, dead people and even from people I'd killed with my own two hands. I'm not ashamed of it, I'd do it all over again to be blessed with the one thing I have right now.
"Where're we going?" The boy behind me asked.
I pulled myself onto the loading deck of Tortuga and turned to help the boy from the water, smiling down at him, I took off his shirt (Brought with the stolen money of a dead guy of course) and squeezed out the excess water before putting it back on him and ruffling his sopping wet hair.
"We're going to see what we can find" I replied.
The boy nodded and I turned around, holding out my hand, the boy took it and I led him through the streets of Tortuga and into a little alley way, where there was a place hidden there...if you knew were to look. I knocked on the door, and waited a few minutes.
"Who is it?" The man behind the door asked.
"Kalen...it's me" I answered.
The door was unlocked and both me and the boy walked in. I shut the door behind us and locked it, when I turned around, I was face to face with a gun.
"What do you want Emily? The last time you came here, I got in trouble" Kalen said.
I held my hands up and looked around.
"That was before the EITC was disbanded. Without Lord Beckett, the EITC had no power" I explained.
Kalen dropped the gun and looked to the boy. He rolled his eyes and went out back, I nodded to the boy, who followed him, and I waited where I was.
XXXXXPOTCXXXXX
A few minutes later, the boy came back and I grinned at him.
"You look devilishly handsome" I said.
He smiled at me, showing me his sharp teeth and looked to Kalen.
"Thank you" he said.
Kalen nodded and looked to me. I had an idea what he was asking and I shook my head.
"No...I'm fine. I only care about him. I think, we just need some proper food, we've been living on fish for a while, and he needs his nutrition. I'm alright, having lived on fish since I was Seventeen, but he's only ten, he's still growing. He needs calcium" I said.
Kalen gave me a look, but then left the room. When he came back, he had a plate full of food. He set it down in front of the boy, and I gave the boy a nod. The boy ran to the food and began stuffing it down his throat.
"Toby...you're in the presence of humans now...remember your manners please?" I asked.
He swallowed what he was eating and nodded. He then sat down and began to eat properly. I sighed and looked out of the window. I felt Kalen come up beside me.
"Thank you for all this Kalen...it means a lot to me" I said.
Kalen smiled and pulled me into a hug. I hugged him back and let the tears fall.
"You still miss him don't you?" Kalen asked.
I nodded.
"Yeah...there isn't a day that goes by, when we're with the hammerheads, that I don't think of him" I replied.
Kalen pulled back and smiled at me.
"I still don't know how you got in with the hammerheads...Wild ones at that" he said.
I laughed and wiped my tears away.
"It took a while, and a lot of trust on both our parts. My part, trusting them not to eat me, and their part, trusting me not to eat them" I said.
Kalen laughed too, and then Toby came up to me, wiping his mouth in the back of his hand. I smiled down at him, and used my wet shirt to wash his mouth, and using the serviette that Kalen gave me to dry it.
"Thank you Kalen...if it weren't for you. I don't think we would have survived this long" I said.
The older man chuckled and put his hand on my back.
"Don't mention it. Now, you'd better be going. I think I can hear screams from the ladies because your hammerhead family want you back" he said.
I chuckled too and looked to Toby.
"Say thank you to Kalen for everything" I said.
Toby looked up to the older man and wrapped his arms around the older man's legs.
"Thank you uncle Kalen for everything" he said.
I nodded and rubbed his hair.
"You've taught him well Emily" Kalen said.
I smiled half-heartedly and nodded.
"With your help" I said.
Kalen smiled and opened the door. I looked around, the sun had gone down, and there was no one about. I went out first, as I always did, and then I motioned Toby to follow. He did and I heard Kalen step out too. He always made sure we got back to the loading deck safely, before going back into his home/shop.
XXXXXPOTCXXXXX
Once we were across the street, we were able to slow down, and I watched Toby walk around in front of me. I smiled and watched him, before I felt a hand on my own hand. I turned around and gasped...
"M-Maccus" I said.
He looked at me, his eye studying me, before he pulled me into a bone crushing hug. I accepted and hugged him back with about as much force as he did with me.
"Is it really you?" He asked.
I pulled away and nodded, before I felt Toby around the back of me. I put my hand on his head and continued to look up at Maccus.
"It's me...a little older...in years, but not in age as you can see" I replied.
Maccus pulled me into a hug again and I hugged him back. Then I felt a tug on my cut off trousers.
"Who is this mom?" Toby asked.
I saw Maccus' eye open wide, and I smiled.
"D-did he just say...mom?" He asked.
I nodded.
"Yes he did...Toby, come here" I replied.
Toby came to the front of me and I crouched down in front of him.
"Toby...I'd like you to meet Maccus...Maccus, I'd like you to meet Toby...your son" I said.
Maccus' eye went even wider than before, and he looked to me, and then down to the boy, and then back to me.
