Chapter 10: Tortuga
For two days, Lord Beckett kept a close eye on Isabella. He posted guards at the front gates of her home, the stables...even the gardens. Isabella felt so violated that she couldn't even stroll the gardens with baby Robin, without a soldier watching every move she made. Even in the nights, Lord Beckett would come check that Isabella did not leave. Isabella felt she was locked away in a golden cage. It was ten at night, Lord Beckett would already be here...she thought. Then she heard a knock on her bedroom door...it was Nickolas.
"Izzy...I just got word that Beckett has to stay late at the fort, some buisness emergency came up...now is your chance to go and search for James". informed Nickolas, he was the only one allowed to the house.
"Yes you are right...but Robin"?
"Don't worry I will take her to your uncle's home...Catherine and I will watch over her, and let no harm come to her".
"Thank you...let me change, and say good-bye to Robin".
"Yes...but hurry we don't have much time".
Isabella quickly left to change her night gown. She went into James' trunk and grabbed a long sleeve shirt and breeches...and one of his coats... she also took the spare sword James kept in their room. After she finished dressing she went into Robin's nusery...she was sound asleep.
"My baby...I will be back very soon, and I will bring your father with me...I promise, I love you my sweet little girl".Isabella bent down and kissed Robin's cheek.
Isabella managed to sneek onboard a ship...heading towards Tortuga...that is where she and Elizabeth were planning to start. But with unfortunate events, she had to do this alone. No one recognized her, which was a relief to her.
A week passed and they finally arrived at their destination. It was evening and all the pubs were already full of drunk pirates. Isabella thought great just what I need to deal with. When they docked, a ship was beside theirs... a ship with black sails, Isabella recognized it instantly. She was relieved to see something familiar. She quickly got off the ship and made her way to the first pub...
