3 Fleur-Elissa

Elizabeth gasped as she halted on the deck of the Pearl after running so far from the bar. She was in complete shock at what she found out. She did not want to believe that she had an older sister. She also couldn't believe her father didn't tell her after all these years. He had kept it from her, just as he had kept the secret of who her mother was from her, she presumed. Elizabeth was so wrapped up in her thoughts of disbelief that she didn't hear Jack get on board nor did she know who he had brought along.

"Lizzie, love. Please turn 'round and face us." Jack asked quietly from behind her.

"Us?! Us?" Elizabeth whipped around to find herself face to face with Katrina, and Jack too.

"Yes, Lizzie. Us." Jack replied, raising an eyebrow at Elizabeth's sudden fury.

"Why did you bring her on board?" Elizabeth asked calmly this time, though rudeness could be heard in her tone of voice.

"I wan' to resolve this, love. Accept 'er as yer sister and lets stop fighting." Jack said reasonably.

"Elizabeth, if it would make ya feel better, I can 'elp you find our mother." Katrina said from where she stood, speaking up for the first time since they boarded. "I know you are looking for 'er." Elizabeth narrowed her eyes.

"Fine. I will accept that reality that Katrina is my sister, though I have a hard time believing it." Elizabeth announced after a few moments of silence between the three of them. Katrina reached out and Elizabeth grasped her hand reluctantly, confirming that Elizabeth accepted her.

"Oh...what a surprise!" Jack suddenly said, breaking the tension in the little moment between the girls.

"Are you talking to ya self again, Jack?" Katrina asked, her face contorting with laughter.

"No." He pointed. "And what brings you 'ere, Mister Turner?" The girls followed his gaze and where he was pointing. Will Turner was standing on the railing of the ship, arms folded over his chest.

"I think, Sparrow, it's time to return Elizabeth back to Port Royal, where she belongs." Will smirked at Jack. Elizabeth sighed with frustration.

"It's Miss Swann to you, Mister Turner." Elizabeth snapped. She did not like people coming after her when she was on her own adventure. She absolutely HATED it and was now angry with Will.

"Elizabeth Swann, it's time to return home." Will got down and started toward her but Jack stood in the way.

"I don't think so, lad. She ain't going anywhere. She wanted this and she got what she wanted." Jack growled. Katrina stepped forward.

"Boys, lets not fight and lets get going." Katrina looked at both boys in the eye. When Katrina looked at Will, he actually blushed a bit. She smiled and moved back, looking at Jack.

"Fine." Will went below decks and Jack waved at the crew to cut away from the docks.

"Silly boy. I don' think he can get any wenches..." Jack muttered through his teeth as he tightened a rope later. Both Elizabeth and Katrina were chatting on the other side of the deck, watching the water. Jack could hear every bit of their conversation and in truth, enjoyed it.

"Katrina...what did mother look like?"

"Sis, she looks like you. Same everything practically."

"Really? Then I'm sure you look like her too."

"Yeah, I do. I just don' know it deep inside, I guess."

"If Father hates pirates so much, why did he marry one?"

"Lizzie, Mother never told 'im until after they married. 'E was shocked when she told him but felt that it wouldn't be worth it to leave her. But a while after you were born, she decided to leave. End of story"
