Chapter Seven

Four days had flashed before Elizabeth's eyes and before she knew it, they were getting ready to leave for Tia Dalma's the next day. At least she got to know Jack's parents, they weren't all that bad. His mother was actually a kind and warm woman when you got to know her, and his father was creative and witty. Elizabeth really enjoyed talking with them; they told her everything about Jack when he was just a lad, and every night they fed the whole crew supper. They were even nice enough to let the crew bunk in their back yard.

Elizabeth continued pressing her back up against the wall of the house, staring into the never ending Caribbean Sea. The sun was just beginning to set, causing pink to flood into the sky. She felt she needed to soak up the night before they had to leave in the morning. She was just about to go onto the beach, when she heard footsteps coming from the back of the house.

A figure emerged from out of the corner, "Oh!" The figure gasped.

Elizabeth just stared at it carefully, trying to figure out who it was, it clearly was a woman from the voice, "It's just me…Elizabeth."

"Oh, you really gave me a fright," The figure came into view, it was Lana, "what are you doing out here at this hour?"

Elizabeth gave here a little smile, "I should ask you the same question."

"You're right, I'm sorry."

"No need to apologize," Elizabeth looked back out at the water, "I was just about to go to the beach, what to join me?"

Lana looked down at her hands, "Yes, that's where I was heading before."

The two women headed out onto the beach silently. Lana enjoyed the silence actually, because she had only talked to Elizabeth once before. Lana stared out ahead of her, watching the water pound against the sand, and then heading back out into the open ocean in a calming rhythm.

Elizabeth plopped down in the sand with Lana still standing beside her. Elizabeth drew little pictures in the sand with her fingers, and then when she was finished with one she retraced it until she felt satisfied with it. Lana finally joined Elizabeth in the sand.

They sat there for awhile staring at the now dark ocean, the sun had set but the stars were starting to appear in the sky above then.

Elizabeth liked it here and she wasn't ready to leave at the moment, she liked how Jack's mother took such good care of her and everyone else, she liked staying in one place for awhile, and she liked the wonderfully delicious dinners. But tomorrow that will all be behind her and they were setting off again for something new, but Elizabeth liked that too, the not knowing part. It always gave her a feeling of excitement.

"Who is this Tia woman that were heading off to see in the morning?" Lana asked, looking curiously at Elizabeth, her head resting on her knees.

Elizabeth chuckled at her, no one usually asked Elizabeth anything, she is the one that does the asking. "She is…let's just say…unique, when it comes to certain things."

Lana gave Elizabeth a look of confusion, and then just nodded her head slowly.

Elizabeth gave her a smile, "You'll find out sooner then you think."

"I guess I will."

The two turned silent and enjoyed the perfectly peaceful night in front of them. Some clouds floated above them carelessly, and stars sparkled as bright as can be. Lately the nights have been so beautiful.

"Well I think I going to go in now." Lana stood up, brushing the sand off her shirt and pants.

"Oh, that's fine. I think I am going to stay here a bit longer."

Lana didn't respond, she gave her a quick smile then turned her body around swiftly. Walking carefully back to the house.

Elizabeth waited a few moments, breathing in the deep refreshing ocean air, and then she flung her back into the gritty sand. She felt the warmth of land against her body.

She had been laying there for at least an hour, she felt paralyzed. She wanted to get up and go to bed, but she couldn't her body wouldn't let her leave the warmth of the sand. So instead she closed her eyes and pretended to be sleeping in her bed.

Creaking noises filled Elizabeth's ears, and warmth of a blanket surrounded her. She fluttered her eyes open; she was shocked to find herself in a bedroom. What? Where am I? She sort of had a filling that someone carried her to the house last night. But she wasn't one-hundred percent positive.

She got out of the bed sluggishly, pulling the blanket off her. She made her way to the closed door, then slowly opening it, looking out into a hallway. What, I don't remember Jack's parents having a hallway? Elizabeth looked up and down the hallway, trying to spot someone to talk to.

She stumbled down the hallway, she felt like she could just fall asleep standing up.

Finally she found a set of stairs to walk up; when she reached the top there was door. Elizabeth flung in open with such force; a breeze hit her face so fiercely. She shuttered, letting the breeze wake her up even more.

The sun shone brightly, causing her to shut her eyes. When did I get on the ship? She didn't remember anything about getting on the ship. She must have been out cold.

"Great you're up!" Jack's voice came out of nowhere, and then his lips met hers.

Elizabeth kissed him back and then opened her eyes, "Now I am," Jack gave her a grin in return, "when did we load the ship?"

"This mornin', when I found you on the beach," Jack shook his head slightly, "you scared me love."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Elizabeth apologized; Jack loosened his grip around her and backed away.

"Captn' were approaching land!" Gibbs called out from the helm.

Jack glanced over at him, "Great." He looked back at Elizabeth and gave her a quick peak on the cheek. Then he made his way to Gibbs.

Elizabeth went to the side of the ship, were the island loomed in front of her. She wasn't quite sure about this whole thing, why would Tia just up and get the Pearl from the depths for them. From the last time Elizabeth met her, she didn't seem like she did favors for anyone that easily.

"Drop the anchor!" Jack's voice rang in the air.

Paddling up a murky channel wasn't Lana's idea of an adventure, it was pure miserable. Bugs were everywhere and biting her, then just earlier a snake dropped down from a branch above them. But Will made everything better by throwing it out, how did he do that?

It was dark in the trees, even though the sun was up a shining; the trees are a perfect thing to block it out. Lana looked around every once in a while, examining the wild life before her. She had never been anywhere else besides Gunman's Bay, but now in the past week or two she has been to more places then ever.

Lana stared ahead at a shabby house over the water. "Is this it?" Lana asked Will, she was expecting a perfectly put together house, but she was obviously wrong.

Will looked at her gently, "Yes it is." He put his hand on hers.

She felt like fire had just shot up her body when he touched her. Lana took her focus off Will; she had spotted a lady figure out on the porch of the house.

When they got closer to the house, the lady figure, which Lana presumed was Tia, glanced at her slyly. Almost like she knew something Lana didn't. Which wasn't a very pleasant feeling for Lana at the moment.

It wasn't that long of a chapter but that's where I wanted to end it, PLEASE tell me what you think. Hope to hear from you all!
