Chapter Text
Will woke up from a very pleasant sleep. He stretched and placed his hand where Elizabeth should be. She wasn't but the side of the bed was still warm. She had to get up early.
He got up too and clothed. He walked out of his shared room with Elizabeth and heard voices comming from the room where they usually gathered. He walked there and saw Elizabeth preparing team and Henry talking with Catrina. Elizabeth noticed him first. "Good morning, Will. Did you sleep well?" She smiled at him and he smiled back. "Good morning, Elizabeth. Yes, I slept well."
Will sat down on a chair and caught attention of Henry and Catrina. "Father?" Will looked at Henry with a smile. "Yes, Henry?" "Me and Catrina want to take a walk by the shore after breakfast. Would you like to come with us?" Henry smiled at him. Will looked at Elizabeth who gave him a smile and nodded. "Why not?"
-----
The three of them walked down the hill anf Henry and Catrina holding hands and Will was walking next to them. They got on the shore and Henry smiled. "I always dreamt of this day father." Will wrapped an arm around Henry's shoulder. "Me too, son. Me too."
They continued their slow walk and exchanging stories about their time on the sea.
"Uh... There is something on the shore." Catrina pointed at it interrupting Will's story. Will and Henry looked at it and Will narrowed his eyes. "It looks like a person!" They started to run towards it and when they were getting closer Will felt a dread rising in his gut. It was a person.
Will fell on his knees when he was near enough. That person has a soaked clothing, pirate like clothing and dreadlocks were covering his face. "Wait dreadlocks? But these are too short." Tought Will. "Help me to roll him over." Said Will and Henry with Catrina knelt down and carefuly rolled him over so he could breath.
Will froze. "He's just a boy." He breathed out. Will checked if he was breathing and released a breath he didn't realise he was holding when he felt the boy's breath and saw his chest rising and falling. But there was something familiar about this boy but Will couldn't tell what it was.
"Lets get him home." Said Will and throwed him around his shoulder a compas fell from his clothing. Catrina picked it up and showed it to Henry. "It looks like Jack's." She said and Henry nodded. They catched up with Will and showed him the compas. "It looks like Jack's." Said Will and the boy mumbled something. "Lets hurry."
-------
Elizabeth helped Will to undress him, dry him and tuck the boy in bed.
"Where did you found him?" Asked Elizabeth. "On the shore. Maybe he swam there or the sea drifted him on the shore." Said Will. Elizabeth looked at him. "He's so young. And a pirate! His ship must have got under attack or sail on a cliff." They watched the boy for a while untill Will looked at Elizabeth. "Elizabeth." She looked at him. "Is there something similar on this boy?" Will inclined on him with his head.
Elizabeth nodded. "Yes. There is. But.... I don't know what." Good. So Will wasn't alone on that. "We'll ask him what is his name when he'll woke up. Also, he had this." Will showed the compas to Elizabeth. "It looks like Jack's compas." She exclaimed and Will opened it. "It is." Elizabeth gaped at it and she looked at Will with puzzled expression. "How did he get it?" Will shrugged. "I don't know. We'll ask him when he wake up."
------
The boy groaned and stretched. He rubbed his eyes and sat up. "Ah. We are awake." He looked and saw a nice looking woman with long brown hair and a friendly smile. "How do you feel?" She asked and sat on a chair near the bed. "I feel.... like I was hit into the head by something. Pretty hard actually." He rubbed the back of his head.
"What is the last thing you remember?" She asked still wearing the smile. "That I lured some Spaniards into the Devil's triangle." He grinned. "I remember how I was mocking him with my look and how he was following me with his shocked gaze." He looked at her. "You arlight, ma'am?" Elizabeth has a shocked expression.
"Can you pleaze tell me your name?" She said softly. "Jack. Jack Sparrow." He looked around. "Haven't you see my compas and clothes?" Elizabeth stood up. "Wait here." She walked up to the door but stopped there. "Do you remember me?" Jack shook his head. "I've never met you, ma'am."
Elizabeth walked out and closed the door behind her and Will pushed himself off the wall. "So?" Elizabeth looked at him. "The last thing he remembers is that he lured some Spaniards into the Devil's triangle." Will's eyebrows shot up. "What's his name?" "Jack Sparrow." Elizabeth shook her head. "This can't be his name." Will shook his head. "What else did he say?" "Where is my clothes and compas?" "Bring him the clothes and compas. But don't give him the compas." Said Will.
Henry and Catrina exchanged looks. "You think?" Asked Catrina. "Yes. He said that he lured Spaniards into the Devil's triangle. And who lured Spaniards into the Devil's triangle? Jack Sparrow. And who bears a compas like that on the table? Jack Sparrow." Henry shrugged. Catrina thought about it for a while. "When you say it like that.... He has some similarities to Jack Sparrow. The dreadlocks. Heck, the face is the same too!"
Henry peeked around the corner and saw his parents gone. He motioned with his head to go into the room. They slowly and silently got there and Henry knocked. "Enter!" Young yet so familiar voice sounded from the other side of the room and they entered.
He was sitting in the bed and he smiled at them when he saw them. "Hello. And you are?" "My name is Henry and this is Catrina." Henry introduced them and Careina waved. "Are you Jack Sparrow?" The boy nodded. "Did you lured Spaniards into the Devil's triangle?" He nodded again. Henry looked at Catrina. "Do you remember us?" Jack shook his head. "No, milady."
The door opened and Will with Elizabeth walked in. "What are you doing here? Leave." It was Will who said that and they made room for Henry and Catrina to leave. They looked at Jack and he gave them a small smile and it widened when Catrina winked at him. They left and Elizabeth handed him the clothes. "Thank you ma'am."
He pulled his shirt over his head and took his pants and pulled them on under the sheets. They waited as he got dressed and when he was done Will pulled out the compas. They watched as they boy's eyes sparked. "My compas! Thank you!" He reached for it but when Will didn't make any movements to give it to him, the boy withdraw his hand with confused expression.
"We need to have a serious conversation, boy." Will took a few steps forward.
