“Epsilon. Epsilon, wake up!”

Epsilon growled softly. She would get up when she wanted to.

“Epsilon!”

Epsilon opened her eyes slowly. Elizabeth stood over her, smiling.

“Don’t you want breakfast? It’s nearly ten.”

Though she would have preferred to sleep later, Epsilon did not want to disappoint her new acquaintance. Well, friend perhaps. Elizabeth was a sweet person, and time spent with her was time well spent. And for the sake of this sweet person, Epsilon climbed out of her rope coil where she had slept for the past three days. Stretching, she followed Elizabeth across the deck, glancing up to see Jack where he stood with the Commodore, staring at the horizon. Epsilon watched the pirate for a moment. She watched the beads and silver in his hair catch the light and throw it back. She watched his face, noting the subtle sheen of sweat that lay upon the bronzed skin. She watched until Elizabeth took her hand and led her into the dining room.

~~~~~~~

After her breakfast, Epsilon stood at the rail, watching the waves rush past beneath her. She sighed, missing the sea. She had not swum in days. Glancing up, Epsilon saw that Jack and Norrington were still deep in conversation. Having nothing else with which to occupy her time, she watched with a mild interest.

Commodore Norrington. He had not talked to her much, but he talked to Elizabeth a great deal, and Elizabeth talked to Epsilon. The Commodore was fairly handsome, she supposed, letting her mind wander. He was tall and strong and looked to be a paradigm to which all young men should aspire. Or so Epsilon supposed, having not been exposed to society for years. And then her thoughts drifted to the Commodore’s companion.

Captain Jack Sparrow. He was the other side of the coin. The raffish pirate was trying to get to know her, she gave him that. He frightened her sometimes, during his random displays of levity, but she had become more used to him. Now she felt she almost enjoyed his company. In the presence of Elizabeth. He still frightened her.

Epsilon was startled out of her reverie when everyone on board The Dauntless suddenly rushed into action. It was then that she realized that the subjects of her evaluations no longer stood in her vision, as she was now looking at the sea once more. The young woman lifted her gaze to see what had caused the commotion, and saw a small speck off in the distance. Was that the source of all the excitement?

~~~~~~~

Night had fallen, finally. The Dauntless moored close to the island, silently. Rowboats were lowered, gently. The Commodore glided off toward the island, silently.

Epsilon watched through a window with a fuming Elizabeth. They had not been allowed off the ship, and were stuck sitting here.

“I can’t believe this! I want to help more than any of those men, and I got locked in here!” Elizabeth banged on the window in frustration, which promptly opened. She paused mid-pound and stared out. “That’s it!” She rushed about grabbing bed sheets, clothing, anything that was made out of fabric. “Come help me tie these together,” Elizabeth beckoned.

Epsilon obeyed wordlessly, still confused about everything. No one had thought to tell her what was going on; or if they had, they most certainly hadn’t acted upon it.

Tying one end of the cloth rope to a heavy table, Elizabeth then threw the rest out the window. “Stay here, Epsilon,” she urged before climbing out. And Epsilon did stay. For a time. When she heard Elizabeth’s father talking beyond the door, she looked towards the window again. The sea did look very inviting, and she had no desire to be in a locked room with Elizabeth’s father. And so she leapt.

The water broke for her, as it had always done. Epsilon opened her eyes and kicked. She was not fond of these clothes. They made her progress slow.

It was as she swam lower that she saw them. Dead. Dead things in the water. Climbing up ropes to the ship. She shuddered in fear. One of them saw her as he climbed, and he reached out to touch her, but caught only her jacket. Terrified, Epsilon struggled out of the garment and swam quickly away. They would not catch her.

When she was satisfied that there was enough distance between her and the dead things, Epsilon ceased her frenzied swimming and made for the surface. Gasping, she looked about for Elizabeth. There was someone rowing alone from another ship that floated near the island. Diving under again, Epsilon headed in that direction. It took her longer to reach the boat than she would have liked because she was weighted down by fabric. When she finally did reach it, Epsilon noticed that it was Elizabeth in the boat. She called Elizabeth’s name, who turned immediately.

“Epsilon! What are you doing?!”

“Following.”

Elizabeth only grunted and continued on her way. She had somewhere to be, and she was not sure she had enough time to get there. Epsilon swam alongside the boat silently until they had reached the island. She followed Elizabeth into the heart of the island, from which echoed loud clashes and human shouts. There was fighting there. When they entered the cavern, Epsilon spotted Jack briefly before she was pulled behind a stone wall by Elizabeth.

“Epsilon, please stay here,” Elizabeth implored. She then grabbed the biggest item close to her, which happened to be a large golden beam, and rushed forth into the fray.

Epsilon moved into the shallow water closer to the fighting. From there she could see Jack and someone else duelling, and Elizabeth was wielding her staff amid another group. As everyone wove in and out of the moonbeams scattering the floor, Epsilon’s eyes widened and her breath hitched. Dead. They were dead. All dead. Even Jack. Only Elizabeth and her apparent partner, a handsome brown-haired young man, seemed unaffected. Epsilon closed her eyes and sunk lower into the water. Watching Jack change back and forth was making her sick. She started and nearly drowned when something nearby exploded. Then everything happened very fast. Jack threw something to Elizabeth’s partner. Jack, Elizabeth, her partner, and the other pirate all froze. Jack’s pistol was aimed at the other pirate whose pistol was aimed at Elizabeth who was frozen in the middle of a sprint to reach her partner who stood over a chest of gold with an outstretched hand.

Gunshot.

The other pirate boomed, “Ten years ye carry that pistol, and now ye waste yer shot.”

“He didn’t waste it.” Elizabeth’s partner dropped two coins into the chest, and the unknown pirate ripped open his jacket.

“I feel. . .cold.” And then he fell. A green apple rolled from his outstretched hand.

Epsilon watched Elizabeth and her partner have a quick but quiet discussion, after which Elizabeth marched off. Jack then came up behind the young man and murmured something Epsilon did not catch. The trio then prepared to leave. Epsilon pressed herself against the stone until they had passed, then followed them silently out of the cave. She followed their boat back to The Dauntless, and she followed them onto it. Jack showed some surprise when she climbed out of the water, but said nothing. Once on the ship, Epsilon remained quiet. She watched the island fade away until it was lost to the sea, and then there was only the rhythm of the waves.
