Reunited After 21 Years

Becky's POV

It's been twenty one years since I last saw my dad. Not my fault, I've tried to find him with grandpa's help. We found Uncle Hector had lead another mutiny. I was peeved at him for doing it. But he did keep his promise. He didn't maroon Jack on an island alone. He left him in Tortuga with Gibbs. Still I haven't spoken to him since, focused on finding dad or Gibbs.

I now go by Rebecka as I'm an adult now. I mean, I'm in my early thirties now. Though I look like I'm in my mid twenties. Dad will be in his sixties now. Though if he is anything link grandpa and I. He wouldn't of changed much in the last twenty one years.

Anyway Grandpa heard word of Gibbs being mistaken for dad and being sentenced in London. Knowing Dad will try to save him. Grandpa and I went to London. I wore my main outfit, with hat and my three weapons. My sword, throwing knife in my boot and a pistol.

As we walked through London sticking to the shadows. We see dad making one of his daring escapes, with the kings men on his heels. I draw my pistol as he jumped from one carriage to another. He then clung to a sign of a woman's bust as the men went past under him. Not noticing him.

Once they had pasted, he dropped down. But a soldier behind him points his rifle at him. "Filthy pirate" he says. I shot him with Grandpa. Dad looks at us as we stepped out of the shadows.

"Hello Jackie" Grandpa says.

"Hello Dad" dad says and looks at me confused. "Who's this?" he asks. I roll my eyes and put my pistol away.

"Do you really not recognize your own daughter dad?" I ask him.

"Becky?" he says shocked.

"I go by Rebecka now, but grandpa still calls me Becky" I state. I hug him. "I've missed you" I tell him as he hugged me back.

"You've..." he trials off as he looks at me.

"Grown" I offer.

"Yeah, lets go with that" he states.

"It has been twenty one years, you are not an easy man to find" I tell him.

"Sorry" he tells me.

"Lets take this else where" Grandpa tells us. We agree and we go to a pub called the Captain's Daughter. Which is ironic, as I am a daughter of a captain. "We hear your putting together a crew" he tells Dad.

"If enough people keep saying it, it must be true" dad states as our drinks arrived. "Becky, no drinking" he tells me.

"Dad, I'm not a child anymore" I tell him.

"Listen to your father Becky" Grandpa tells me. I sigh and push my mug of rum away as he turned back to my dad. "I heard where you're headed. The Fountain" he states.

"Have you been there?" dad asks him.

"Does this face look like it's been to the fountain of youth?" grandpa asks him.

"Depends on the light" dad tells him.

"Son, the Fountain. There'll be items required for the profane ritual" grandpa tells him.

"Two chalices" I state.

"On the map there was a chalice" Dad tells us.

"Two, silver" I tell him.

"From the Ponce de Leon ship. You'll need both" grandpa states.

"For?" dad asks confused.

"The ritual dad" I dead pan.

"Don't be a fool, Jackie. Find out every detail before you set sail" Grandpa tells him.

"Oh, set sail. Love to. But for that, I may need a ship" dad tells him.

"You mean we, I'm not leaving you again" I tell him. He gives me a smile. Grandpa nods to a group of drunk people singing.

"Those folk, over there, they have a ship. They're signing up sailors right now" he tells dad.

"My heart is pierced by Cupid I disdain all glittering gold" the group sing.

"And one last thing, Jackie. The Fountain will test you. Mark my words" grandpa tells him. "Take care of Becky" he states. They finish their drinks while I look at the sailors. When I look back, I notice grandpa had left.

"Man, he has to teach me to do that" I state. "So what's the plan dad?" I ask him curious.

"I'm gonna go talk to the man with the guitar, you find us an exit" he tells me.

"Should be one in the store room" I tell him. He nods his head and we went our separate ways. I end up in a store room of sorts. Barrels everywhere, a pig roasting on a spit of a fire it. I carefully examine the room. I soon find a lever and push it. A trap door opens and I see water below. "Perfect" I say with a smile and put the trap door back into place.

Someone enters the room. I turn to see dad hiding behind a pillar and from in confusion. "Dad?" I say and they look at me. That is not my dad. I go for my sword as my real dad appears.

"Becky, stay away from him. He's an imposter!" dad tells me. The imposter faces him.
