Salina flopped on her bed and lay there lifeless for a few minutes. She would have to be on her guard more often now, now that Norrington was on her case. What would happen to Jack? Would Will and Eric be able to get to them in time? So many things rushing through her head at that point in time, she just decided to push them all aside and go to sleep.
Then next morning the sun peered into Salina's room and disturbed her peaceful slumber. She rolled over and noticed a body in bed next to her. "Jack!" She said excitedly but then figured out that it wasn't him.
She pulled the red locks out of James's face and starred at him for the longest time. "I know you love me more than life itself. But this, this life is not for me. I'm so sorry James." Salina whispered to him, even though he was still asleep she felt the need to tell him.
Salina rolled out of bed and took notice that she was only in her bodice. She grabbed her robe and walked out onto the deck. The sun was just coming over the horizon, but the light was enough to make the ship glow in the water.
Salina walked to the railing where Jack had laid the night before. She rubbed her fingers up and down the wood, as if to catch whatever might be left of his warmth on the railing. She looked down to the crystal clear water and watched as the fish scattered away from the ship.
"It's a glorious morning, isn't it?" Salina swirled around and smiled at her uncle. Her robe waved in the wind, as did her locks of hair.
"Aye, that it is. I love standing out here watching the sunrise. It brings me peace." Salina turned her head up to the clouds in the early morning sky. She was trying to forget the events from the night before, it seemed like a dream now.
"You're really swept away with him, aren't you?" Salina's eyes widened as she thought of Jack.
"James, that is." Her uncle added; Salina blushed as she was relived that he was not referring to Jack.
"Oh, yes. Yes I am. He will make a fine husband for me. It is a smart match."
"Yes it is. I can only hope my daughter could have such a fine match." Salina smiled and hugged her uncle.
"Thank you, for being so lovable." She kissed his cheek and then walked back to her cabin.
The next two days flew by fast; Salina barely exited her room for she knew Norrington was watching her.
"At least that bastard can't watch me from in here!" Salina twirled around and sat at the vanity. "When we get to Port Royal everything will go back to normal, I hope."
Salina grabbed her brush and began to pull it through her hair. "I wonder where Will and Eric are, and whether they'll make it here in time." She slammed the brush on the vanity and stood up.
Her hair hung at her side as she paced through out the room. Salina let out a huge groan as she fell back on her bed. There was a loud knock on the door.
"Salina, are you decent?" Salina hopped up and grabbed her robe she fumbled with it trying to put it on.
"Yes! Yes I am." Her uncle stepped in the room.
"Not dressed yet, Salina? This isn't like you." He smiled widely at the young women.
"Well I was looking for a gown to wear today, seems how it would be my first day back in Port Royal." Her uncle smiled once more as he picked a dress out of her closet. "When are we arriving?" She asked curiously while receiving the dress her uncle picked out.
"Captain Norrington said we should arrive within the next hour."
"I see." Salina steeped behind a curtain to change. A maid stepped behind the curtain to help her.
"James wishes to marry you as soon as possible." Her uncle said with glee. "I believe tomorrow afternoon."
Salina nearly choked on her breath when he said that. "Are you all right my dear?"
She let out a short breath. "Yes, yes I'm fine." She walked out from behind the curtain. "Tomorrow, eh?" Her uncle nodded and she picked up her shoes. "Why so soon?"
"Well he thought it be best if you two were married quickly. There's no sense in waiting if you two truly love each other and are ready to be married. Don't you agree?"
"Yes, completely. Uncle would you like to have tea before we reach town?"
"That would be lovely."
William stood by the steer of the Black Pearl, watching the sea, anticipating their arrival in Port Royal. He would do anything to help his crew and to help Jack and Salina. It was only one more days journey, would he make it in time?
A/N: Sorry this one is so short, I just had to add a few more things to the plot. I'll update more tomorrow. Thanks again to all of you!
