Alicia was starting to lose patience with Elizabeth. The young girl was starting to become a woman. She was getting moody toward Alicia and started yelling at her to do things whenever she was in a bad mood. The worse part was that it's been almost another year and Alicia still hadn't found the pirate medallion.
"Alicia, I will retire for the night now", Elizabeth said.
"Very well...your majesty", Alicia said under her breath.
"What was that?"
"Nothing, miss! Just reminding you that Mr. Norrington will be expecting to see you tomorrow."
"Yes", she said eyeing her suspiciously. "You're excused now. Goodnight, Alicia."
Alicia bowed as she left the room. She went to her room and hung up her apron. Elizabeth was really getting on her nerves. Alicia was getting real tired of being her maid. She wanted to get that medallion and get it to call Barbossa. In fact...she could do that tonight. Elizabeth's asleep, she won't see her. Alicia got up and went back into Elizabeth's room. Elizabeth laid in bed sound asleep with a candle burning next to her bed. Alicia picked up that candle and brought it to the desk. She started opening the drawers and picked books out of them.
"What is this junk?" she asked herself as she looked at some of the books.
She opened another drawer finding a smaller book with the word Diary on the cover.
"This I gotta keep."
"Wh-who's there?" Alicia heard.
She froze as she heard Elizabeth waking up. Slowly she turned and jumped as she heard a scream.
"FATHER! SOMEBODY! THIEF! THIEF!"
Governor Swann and a couple of servants barged into the room. The servants grabbed Alicia as Elizabeth jumped out of bed and ran to her father.
"What is the meaning of this?" Governor Swann asked.
"It's Alicia!" Elizabeth said. "I saw her snooping through my belongings. She's a thief, father."
"You spoiled little brat!" Alicia yelled. "Who do you think you are? The queen of Port Royal?"
"Arrest her!"
The servants dragged her downstairs and waited for a carriage to send her to the jail.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
"Fluffy", Jenna whined.
"What is it?" Gillette asked.
"Do we really have to be here? It's so boring!"
"Why don't you go home then?"
"I don't wanna!"
Jenna and Gillette patroled the area around the jail making sure none of the prisoners escaped. It was a slow night and Jenna kept annoying him calling him "Fluffy" and "Squeaky". She loved the way he looked whenever he got angry. His teeth grinding, his hands clenched in fists.
"Are you going to squeak for me?" she asked.
"No, I will not", Gillette sighed.
He stood straight and tall as a carriage approached. A couple of soldiers opened the door and pulled someone out.
"Alicia!" Jenna said.
Alicia stood with her hands clamped in irons and her eyes all red from crying.
"Caught this one trying to rob the governor's mansion", one soldier said.
"You can't arrest her! She's my best friend!"
She turned to Gillette.
"Please, Fluffy. Can't you do anything for her?"
"Fluffy", the guards snickered.
Gillette glared at Jenna for a second but stopped when he saw tears coming to her eyes. He looked over at Alicia who just stood with her eyes closed and her head hanging.
"How much is the bail?" he asked.
"Two shillings", the guards answered.
Gillette reached into his pocket and pulled out a small bag. He picked out two shillings and handed them to the guards. They turned to Alicia and unlocked the irons.
"Alicia!"
Jenna wrapped her arms around her friend.
"Are you alright? Do you need a place to stay? You can stay with me and Fluffy."
She turned to Gillette. Out of nowhere she jumped on him knocking him to the ground. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed every inch of his face.
"Fluffy, thank you so much!"
Alicia watched as Jenna sat on top of him kissing him. She looked in the direction of the ocean.
"Now I'll never see Barbossa", she said.
