Lindy POV

I walked towards Uncle Jim's office with bruised knuckles and sweaty attire. Before I could knock on his door, I heard voices coming from inside. It was, I recognized as, Jack's and Uncle Jim's. I decided to come back later after their talk but my name mentioned stopped me from walking further. 

... she doesn't have to know that I'm not her real uncle. After I become close to her and make her think that her mother is dead, I'll write my name in her will giving me all her twenty million dollars her mother has kept for her." I heard Uncle Jim. I could hear Jack trying to tell him something but Captain Jim cut him off.

"If you open your mouth to her and try to do something stupid, I'll skin you alive. Are we understood?" Captain Jim replied. "No we are not understood Uncle!" I screamed out at last. I opened the door with all the strength I could master and glared at both of them. I could not believe what I was hearing.

Uncle Jim, who I started to accept as family, was nothing but a liar and a thief. And Jack! After the lesson we been having for the past week, I started to like him. With his blue eyes and everything else. 

"Lindy, care to join the party?" I heard Uncle Jim ask me, as he started to walk towards me and next thing I knew I was dropped unconscious. 

~Three hours later~

I opened my eyes to find myself in darkness. I tried to move but then felt something on my wrist. I realized that I was tied and couldn't wove. I muttered profanities and sat still after minutes of struggling. I saw a shadow moving in a distance, coming closer to me each second.

"Who's there? Please don't kill me! I don't even know what I'm doing here." I yelled at the figure. It gave no reply but came closer and closer. What I saw shocked me. 

Kneeling before me was a guy with brown eyes and black hair. I noticed something familiar about him. He had the same face structure and the same lip shape as Jack. 

"J..J..Jack?" I stammered. I smirked at me and said, "Well you have been paying attention to me haven't you?" I felt heat rushing through my cheeks when he said that. I blushed harder when he raised my chin up and made me look at him at eye-level.

Then suddenly I remembered and pulled my face away from him and looked away. He seemed to realize this too and pulled my face towards him again.

"Hey, look okay? We have no time to loose", he then pulled out a knife. I stared in shocked and looking at my startled face, he laughed. "I'm not going to kill you if that's what you are thinking." He assured me. I then stretched himself and cut the rope that was tied on my wrists. 

"Come on, emergency rescuers are here and we have no time. Captain Jim is asleep and we can get out of here. I know what you heard and I'm going to take you to a place where you will be safe, for sure. Oh, and I'm not evil or anything. I was just pretending to be his crew member so I can spy on you and report your well-being to the good pirates." He quickly explained. 

He held out his hand and waited for me to take it. I looked at him and knew that he was telling the truth. Hesitantly, I took his hand and felt butterflies in my stomach just as our hands met. He pulled me close to him and together we ran. 

We ran and ran until we reached towards the end of the boat. He let go of my hand and gave me a life jacket. I wore it and felt his hand on mine again. And together we jumped into the small boat that was waiting for us. I landed in the arms of another guy and he put me down. 

I looked around and noticed that these people were pirates, but less intimidating than the ones on the ship. I felt a hand on my waist and turned to see who it was. It was Jack, he gave me a small smile which I returned.

We sat together on the edge of the boat and we said "Oh by the way, my name's not Jack. It is Tristan Parker." I nodded my head and watched the horizon as we sailed far away as possible from the eerie ship. 

I looked around me and found myself looking at unfamiliar faces. I noticed that near the boats control, a woman sat facing her back to me. When Jack saw me staring at her, he motioned me to go towards her.

I walked to her and cleared my throat to get her attention. 

"You have finally come to me, my dear" the woman told me. She turned around and my mouth hung open. 

I could only stammer out, "M..MOM?"
