Okay, I finally got the next chapter up! ( Thank you to everyone who
r&rd. Nothing has really happened yet, but there will be some action
soon. Well I hope you enjoy chapter 3, it is the longest chapter so
far! I would have had this up by now, but I got kicked off the
computer because my brother got me in trouble.(
I think I've made a long enough authors note now for our feature
presentation (I had to put that)!
~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~Chapter 3~You finally arrive! ~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~
You sit in the seat of the carriage, blankly staring out the window.
'It has got to be more than ten minutes since we left the house!' You
think to yourself.
Neither you or Dani has spoken for several moments and the only sound
you can hear is the trotting of the horses hooves against the cobble
stones and the occasional laugh or yell from the children who are
playing outside while their mothers sit on the porch and catch up on
the latest gossip.
Maybe that's why it seems like you've been traveling for eternity.
It's just too quiet.
"Dani, are we almost there?" You say, breaking the silence.
Apparently, Dani must have also been caught up in her thoughts,
because she gave a little jump when you spoke.
"Yes, we're almost there. See, that is where the woman lives that
mother bought my quilt from for my birthday last year. We went to see
her right after church about the designs.
I couldn't think of any reason they would know that they were close,
hope that works.(
"Oh, Okay." You say, just glad that you are almost there. You're
really excited. Will and Elizabeth are perfect for each other. He
loves her so much.
Will is a great guy, even though you don't know him that well, you
know him that much.
'They will be happy together' you think to yourself. 'I wonder where
they are going for their honeymoon?'
You finally arrive at the little church where Will and elizabeth are
to be married.
'Wow there are slot of people here. Well duh, she is the governors
daughter, so there will be a lot of people.'
But wait, if there are a lot of people, how will the pirate you ran
into last night be able to be there without getting caught? What was
his name? Jack, yeah that's it, Jack. Jack um, Sparrow. Jack Sparrow
that's it. Well, maybe since he was a friend of Will and Elizabeth
they could make an exception. What are you thinking? They arent going
to make an exception! He is a pirate! Just like you. The only reason
you havent been hung is because you are dressing and acting just like
everyone else.
And why are you so caught up with this man? Yeah he is like the
hottest guy EVER, but why do you think about him so much? You really
can't do that.
This new life, being stuck in one town doing pretty much the same
things day after day, is really getting to you.
You need to get back on a ship. Be back on the ocean open, free, to
watch the sun plunge into the sea and be lulled to sleep by the gentle
rocking of the ship.
"Are you coming or do you want to just sit there all day?"
You havent even noticed that the carriage has already stopped and you
are sitting in front of the church.
"Oops, sorry. Im coming.' You say, stepping out of the carriage.
The both of you head up the few steps and enter the church.
It is beautifully decorated. The dark, cherrywood pews have babyblue
ribbons tied to the end of them, and down the center aisle there was a
dark navy blue cloth that Elizabeth would walk down.
'I wonder what Elizabeth will look like.' You already know what the
dress itself looks like, it belonged to Elizabeths mother. You just
don't know what she will look like in it.
It was truly a beautiful dress. Very expensive and fancy looking. The
fabric was white and the skirt was silky with another layer of see-
through white cloth and the bodice was white fabrc with designs of
flowers sewn into it. It was also long sleeved.
'She will surely burn up in that thing.' You think. "Dani, I am going
to see Elizabeth, want to come?" "No thank you, I really should go
and save our seats so we can get a good view." She said. Then she
smiled and turned to go find the two of you seats.
At first Elizabeth had asked you to be one of her bridesmaids. But
since you did have a mark on your arm that forever labeled you a
pirate, you decided to lay low in hopes noone would notice you. So far
your plan is working pretty well.
Anyway, Dani didn't know Elizabeth that well. She knew her alittle
but not nearly as good as you knew her.
You make your way down the little hall near the side of the church to
the room that Elizabeth is in. "I think she is in the next room." You
say to noone in particular. "But it could be one of the rooms on the
other side of the church. No that's where Will is getting ready." You
quickly look around to make sure that noone is around to hear you
talking to youself. You wouldn't want every soul in town to think you
were nuts.
Just as you turn around to see if anyone is there in the hall, you run
smack into the front of some one. You covered your mouth to stifle a
scream.
"Jack!" you say"Shhhh! Do ye want me to get caught? Come on." He took
your hand and pulled you into the next room.
Just then you heard female vioces and the door to the next room open.
"I could have sworn that I heard someone outside the door." You heard
a woman say. "We did too, Sarah. Maybe it was one of the children,
the nursery is the next room over." You heard Elizabeth say.
You looked over at Jack. He was holding his breath and leaning
forward in an effort to hear the convorsation better.
"Maybe I'll go check to see if anyone is in there." "No, don't
check," Jack whispered. "Be a good lil' lass and just stay put."
You couldn't help it. You had to let out a little giggle. Jack just
glared at you. "Sorry. Couldn't help it." You say, grinning at him.
"No, don't bother, its all quiet now."
"Jack, what are you doing here? Youll get hung if your caught!" You
whispered loudly. You didn't want to be loud. Elizabeth and her
friends might hear you.
"I told you already luv, I had a weddng to go to. And they wont lay a
finger on me, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. Ye didn't forget, did ye?" He
said, grinning broadly. "No, I definatly didn't forget." You grinned
back at him. Oh my gosh! Were you flirting with him? "Really?" he took
a step closer. He was right in front of you now.
You cleared your throat and looked at him. You loved his eyes. Looking
into them had the same effect as looking down into a neverending,
amber colored ocean. You could get lost in them.
His eyes were outlined in coal, you knew why, you did the same thing
from the time you were twelve up until you moved in with Dani at Port
Royale.
His lips were slightly parted, and the collar of his faded white shirt
was open revealing his tan chest. His sash was tied around his waist,
and in it was his swordand pistol along with his other things.
You had no idea that he knew you didn't know he knew you were checking
him out, so he took the opportunity to do the same.
Then he coughed a little and you snapped back into reality.
"Huh?" you said. You were still kind of in shock because you knew what
you would be looking at next if he hadnt coughed.
"I said; really?" His gold teeth were showing. Yeah, he knew what you
were thinkin. "Oh, really, like I could forget you." Yeah, you knew
you were flirting and you also knew you were blushing. Your face felt
about 1000 degrees.
"Well that's good ta know." He said leaning in. His lips were about
aninch away when you opened your eyes and suddenly blurted out: "Why
were you behind me in the hall?" "What?" He said looking confused.
"Bloody 'ell woman what are you talking about?" "You were behind me in
the hall. Did you want some thing?" "I just wanted to ask you
somethin, tis all. Is that all?" "Yeah." "Good." He said licking his
lips and leaning in again.
"Wait." You said. "What now?" He said with a sigh. "What were you
going to ask me?" "Well I was gonna ask if you wanted to meet me at
the docks tonight after the reception or whatnot, an' I could show you
the Pearl. We could, talk, or. whatever." He smiled at you.
You raised an eyebrow at him.
"'Ey," he said, raising his hands defensivley. "I'm jus'
sayin, if ye want." "Jack." You say. "Hmm?" "I. need to talk to
Elizabeth."
"Well before you go, theres somethin that I've been wantin to do."
With that he pulled you close and kissed you. "Thank ye luv, see ya
later." He said smiling. All you could do was stare at his back in
amazement as he walked out the door.
"Elizabeth?" You say, knocking on the door. One of the women inside
open it for you "Wow, you look gorgeous! Congradulations!" you say.
"Thank you. I was wondering when you would come."
She hugged you. You looked at her. She had tears in her eyes that
were dangerously close to spilling over. You had a lump in your
throat, but you werent going to cry. You were raised on a ship with
pirates. You don't cry much except the time you were really sick and
when your dad died.
"I think its time for you to become Mrs. William Turner." You smile.
"I cant wait." She says. "You will be next time I see you. Bye
Lizzie." You laugh "Bye, (your name)" She laughed back.
You go take you seat next to Dani. You look around but don't see
Jack. Oh well, that's not your problem right now. The music is
starting and Will is smiling and Elizabeth is walking down the aisle.
There it is folks. Chapter 3. That is the longest I've ever wrote!
Did I keep them all in character? I told you there would be Jack
action( and even more next chapter, you know you love it. Oh, and I
know what I am changing the title to, so before I post ch.4 I will
change it. It is going to be called Free Again. I already changed the
summary, hope it sounds okay. So. yeah. Later,
Amber
P.S. Hope you liked the popcorn and Jack dolls ;)
