"For starters you can tell me who Rose St. Williams really is." Sebastian turned to look at Royce. "And why your nephew called her captain." He crossed his arms across his chest as he waited for an answer.

"Rose St Williams is the daughter of Roderick and Esther St Williams who died ten years ago when the ship, Lady Anna, caught fire and went down" Royce said softly "Other then that, i can not tell you. As I keep your secrets, so do i also keep hers" he said hoping Sebastian would understand. If Royce so easily told Sebastian Rose's secrets, how could Sebastian truly trust Royce with his.

Sebastian frowned at him but nodded, respecting his wishes. "I have a feeling that she intends to head for death rock island." Sebastian muttered. "It was on one of the old maps I had pulled out." The Island was the location where he had been changed and where many nasty pirates called home. It was not a place many chose to go to as it was considered cursed.

"Death Rock?" he frowned "If memory serves that was not a very nice place" he said. "and you don't seem like you tihnk i could have gotten any nicer. You didn't tell her to stay away from it, did you?" he asked, knowing that if he had, then she would definitely go

"I advised against it." Sebastian sighed. "But i am guessing by your question that she is likely to go because of my advice." Sebastian ran a hand back through his hair. "Guess it is time to revive my old ship and come out of retirement."

"Perhaps you should just go stop her?" Royce said, laying back down so his chest would stop hurting "Do you really want to go so far as to reviving the ship?"

"It will be at least two day's before I can leave. I gave them my word that I would make sure you were okay. And I do not intend to leave until you are at least able to move around comfortably." Sebastian told the man. He turned and moved over to the table in the room and brought over a glass of water and something to help with the pain. "The doctor left these for you to help with the pain." Sebastian was worried for his friend, and angry with himself for letting Rose find out about the island.

"I hope you have a fast ship" he said, taking the medicine "Because that girl is resourceful"
Rose was ready and her ship was out and at sea by nightfall. She knew Royce was in good hands with Sebastian and had one of her connections in town keeping an eye on Royce just in case as well

Sebastian smiled. "Come now old friend. You of all people should know my ship can hold her own." He glanced out the window then back at Royce. "Get some rest."
Over the next couple of days Sebastian readied his ship and gathered up his crew. Soon He was ready to go once he was sure that Royce was well enough.

"True, but she's got a head start"
Royce was better within a few days, not totally but he pretended to feel better than he did so that Sebastian wouldn't feel the need to stay because of him

Sebastian stepped into Royce's room a slight smile on his face. He was wearing all black aside from his shirt which was blood red. "I have instructed the servants to listen to you. Things are in your care while I am gone." With that said Sebastian headed out and towards the island.

"I have figured that" Royce said, leaning against the wall "Just be nice, and stay out of trouble" he said with a grin "I hope you catch her in time. But i doubt it. She's pretty ship savvy."
Rose stood in the crows nest looking through her telescope at the sea before her. She had drawn out the location of the island from memory, which wasn't always perfect but it was usually damn near close
Some of the crew hads their doubts about an old forgotten island, most figuring it was forgotten for a reason, but they shared their concerns and left it to the captains judgement. If she decided to go, they would trust it

It took Sebastian a couple of days before he could see a ship heading in the direction of the island. He suspected it to be Rose but was not for sure. He watched silently from where he stood at the front railing of the deck. "Don't let them know we are here. We have to be sure it is her." He told his crew.
The wind blew eerily as the two ships drew closer. The waters churned as though something lived deep below its surface that was waiting for someone to take wrong step and be plunged into the depths to be devoured.

"Captain!" Rose turned and looked at the man who approached "There's a ship off our stern!"
Rose ran to the stern side and peered out "My scope" she said, holding out her hand and the cabin boy handed it to her. She peered through the telescope "Fire a warning shot. I want to see who we're up against" she ordered
Her men loaded a cannon and let off a shot, all the while Rose watched the ship for it's captain

Sebastian growled darkly when he cannon was fired. "You idiots." He snapped at his men who immediately coward down. "Raise the flag. It's time to have some fun. Go ahead and move in closer. Time to see who our fellow captain is." He stretched and crossed his arms, thankful that he seemed to blend in with the crew. It was safer for him at this moment.
