-Victoria-

When we got to the docks Jacob got his crew members to get ready to leave dock before nightfall.

"We're ready to leave captain." One of the sailors shouted to Jacob.

"Let's sail back to England men." Jacob shouted to them making them cheer.

"Do you think we'll get back in time?" I asked Jacob as he was steering the wheel.

"If the stars guide us and the winds are strong we might be able to make it, in around 1 and a half or 2 at the most." I sighed and looked away from him and look out to the ocean as we we're leaving the docks. "They'll be fine Victoria Liz is a big girl and they would never touch her and well Sparrow would kill them anyway." Jacob said.

"It's Arthur that will be most worried about Liz she's pregnant and even one scratch on her will send Arthur is a state that is hard to get out of." I turned around and look at Jacob. He gave me a shocked expression.

"He still has his little tempers?" Jacob asked me.

"I wouldn't call them little anymore, they got worse since he married Liz. Over protective and all." I said to him, it was true he didn't allow any man near her without Arthur or I with her.

"I remember when we were kids, I would always tease him in front of Liz. And then one day he snapped and I remember one moment he had his fist in my face and then the next moment I'm on the floor with my face covered in blood and a missing tooth." Jacob said as he turn the wheel making the ship move a little. "I guess that's why Liz fell in love with him. Because she liked dangerous."

"Then we didn't she marry an assassin?." We both stopped talking and looked at sailor. I remember him, Alex.

"She would not risk her families life for a stupid assassin, and how about next time you ask a question like that sailor think before you ask stupid questions." I stood up and walked to the edge of the deck and shouted back at him looking down at him because he was on the lower deck. Everyone was looking at me and they were all silent.

"Oi men. Back to work!" Jacob shouted at them making them look at Jacob and nod going back to their jobs. I walked away from the edge and walked back to where the wheel is. Jacob just stood there looking at me laughing. "You Victoria would make a great captain on these seas,maybe one day you might join me." I smiled at his comment.

"Your men shouldn't ask stupid questions then." My comment made Jacob laugh harder.

"No wonder Sparrow likes you, your sassy as fuck and don't tell anyone I said but your attractive." I laughed at him. I looked out to ocean, the light blue ocean waves with the sunlight shining on the surface of the ocean. I wish I could travel a lot I really wish I could.

After a day and half of being on a ship we docked into the ports of London. It was nighttime and no many people were around.

"Steadily men." Jacob shouted. When the ship got close to the path the walkway was placed down.

"Victoria shall we?" I nodded as I looked at Jacob and then walked down the walkway and then placing my foot on the path.

"Wow it feels weird actually be here again." I heard Jacob. I turned around to look at him.

"You get use to it." Jacob looked at me confused.

"What?"

"Didn't you say something before?" Jacob shook his head.

"I said it." I looked over Jacob's shoulder and Jacob turned around, we saw James.

"What the hell are you doing here? I told you not to come!" I shouted at him.

"I had to, I need to see Sparrow one last time before I leave." James said to me.

"What about Eleanor and the children?"

"I told Eleanor what I was doing and she said to might be better if I do."

"Wait how did you get on my ship?" Jacob asked James.

"I snuck on where you were about to leave the docks." James told Jacob and Jacob nodding confused of how James managed to stay alive on the ship.

"Fine stay close to us." James nodded understanding. "Jacob look after him." I pointed to Jacob then James making Jacob look at me then James and Jacob sighed.

"So where are we gonna find Arthur?" Jacob asked me.

"At the guild." I told him. "Both of you follow me don't drag behind and stay close." I told them both and they both nodded. We started to walk away from the dock and they followed me to the guild. I hope Arthur will be there.
