Chapter 11

(unedited)

Recap:

"Then I suppose i could tell you something and you wouldn't be able to tell anyone else?" Again, I shrugged in reply, wondering if he'd tell me anything......

"I'm supposed to kill the Captain tonight."

---------

I raised an eyebrow but made an effort to not look too surprised, making it clear I didn't care much.

"You aren't surprised at all?"Henry asked, shocked. I shrugged again then found a piece of chalk and scrawled out the words, 'why are ye tellin' me this?' on a plank of wood.

"Because once Hawk is dead, Flint will be taking back what belongs to him and won't tolerate anyone in his way. And we wouldn't want you to die now would we, Anna?"

--------------------

Jacob's POV:

"What do ya mean she's gone AGAIN!?" I growled, slamming my fist on the table,completely infuriated and frustrated.

"Exactly what I said, she's gone.... we saw two men carry her out of that building and to the beach, they were taking her towards the Escarletta but she somehow managed to get away...." one of Jonathan's men informed me.

"The Escarletta is my son's ship...." Jonathan spoke up.

I looked at him," Who's your son?"

"You probably know him as Hawk," he replied.

The information connected together all at once, and I had to wonder if everything that had happened including the mutiny, had all been a scheme to capture Hawk.....

"Hawk is Anna's brother?"I asked, Jonathan nodded.

"Why does Flint hate him so much to drag your daughter into it?"

"He... uh... stole 'is Treasure..."

"He WHAT?!" I exclaimed.

"My son along with 'is fleet found and stole Flint's infamous Treasure horde," Jonathan explained patiently.

"So Flint was tryin' to lure Hawk with Anna?"

Jonathan nodded.

------------

Anna's POV:

"H-how did you know?" I stuttered, stepping away from him. Henry smirked," I watched you cook enough to recognize it was you right away."

"What do you want from me?" I asked, backing a bit farther from him.

"Oh nothing dear, I am going to expose you to Hawk in front of the whole crew. Your brother will be forced to either kill you or let us men have some fun with you. If he doesn't then he'll be dead in the morning and it will be blamed on you."

I stared at him completely shocked, how could this be the same man I grew up and fell in love with?

****Flashback****

"Anna! Henry is back!" Mama called," I'll finish up sweeping for ya."

I dropped the broom with a clatter on the wood floor and dashed out of the Inn and towards the pier. Looking, searching, for his face among the sailors. Strong arms wrapped around my shoulders from behind," Henry!" I exclaimed, twisting around to give him a hug.

"Hello love, did you miss me?" Henry greeted me with a grin, eyes twinkling in the bright sunlight beating down on us.

"I missed ya so much while ye were in England! What was it like?"I asked, eager to hear of his adventures.
