Ch. 3 - Eavesdropping?
Victoria sighed. Elizabeth was supposed to meet her here 15 minutes ago. She remembered telling her to meet her here at the dress shop at noon. Now it was 12:15.
'Maybe she thought I said something else, she is probably with Will. I'll go see if she's at the blacksmiths shop.'
Victoria headed down the street towards the blacksmith's shop. She turned the corner just in time to see the pirate from the other day go into the shop.
'What in the world? Surley Will doesn't associate with pirates?' She thought. 'Is Will even in the shop? Maybe I can just peek in and see what that pirate is up to.'
At first Victoria was nervous about going and spying in on a pirate, but her curiosity got the best of her, as it often did, and she walked up to the door just as she heard the pirate speak.
"Saved your lass's friend and then had a few errands to run before I visited." He stared at him. "Where have you been? I've almost finished all me rum just waitin' on you to get here."
"Sorry, I was with Elizabeth. We were talking." He explained to him. "So how have you been?"
'Almost finished his rum? He hasn't been there that long.' She thought. The two men continued talking, oblivious to Victoria eavesdropping.
"Well, its more like a large thing that seems small if you compare it to a large thing that happens to be quite larger than the smaller larger thing. But in truth, one would be large and one would be gigantic, so I think it isnt small at all in fact it's rather large."
"You didn't get a word of that did you?"
'No, I didn't.' She thought
"While I was in Tortuga, minding my own, jus' givin' the crew alittle time off, this guy came in, took me lass, then took the map that I had came for."
"Wait," Will said "I thought you were giving the crew some off time?"
Jack smiled. "It's all about the treasure, mate. That was, kind of, a bonus if you will. Anyway, I intend to track down the bloody theif who stole my map and take it back. That's what I need your help with."
"Jack, the governor granted me clemency last time I committed an act of piracy, I don't think that he will do it again." He said.
'What in the world? Surley Will will tell him no. He wouldn't leave Elizabeth they are about to be married!'
"So you'll do it?" He begged. "The treasure, is the treasure of Alguien. Gold and silver and rubies and pearls. Now tell me that you don't want a piece of it now."
"Alright, but I don't know how I'm going to leave Port Royal, or Elizabeth. We are-"
"Oh my gosh what is he getting himself into?" She said to herself before she remembered she couldn't explain herself if they caught her there. She covered her mouth with her hand and prayed they hadnt heard her. "Good." She sighed, then held her mouth again 'shut up!' she thought. But they were still chatting.
'I have to find Elizabeth.' she thought.
Elizabeth waited right where Victoria had told her to. She told her to meet her at 12:30, so why wasn't she here? Oh, well. She'd wait a little bit longer then go see if Victoria was at her house.
Just then Victoria came around the corner and rushed up to Elizabeth.
"Elizabeth! You were supposed to meet me at noon and you werent here so I waited. She said frantically. "But you didn't come so I thought you misheard me and was coming at a later time or you'd already come and I wasn't here so went to the blacksmiths shop to ask Will if he had seen you, and there was this pirate there, from the other day." She stopped and took a deep breath before she continued.
"So I followed him and you know how I am, I wanted to know wat he was doing, but Will was there and he was talking to the pirate, Elizabeth, talking to the pirate. He said he had a map and that somebody took it, he nneded it back, and that he wanted Will to help him. It's called the treasure of Argurin or something but Elizabeth, I coughed and they almost heard me, but they didn't! Then do you know what?"
"What?" Elizabeth said speechless at her friend and tryiong to process the million words per a minute she was hearing.
"Will. Said. Yes. Yes! Can you believe it?! He told him yes! At first he said no and that he couldn't because the governor, and you are getting married, but then he accepted!" She stopped trying to catch her breathe. She hadnt talked that much since she was a little girl.
"Excuse me?" Elizabeth said. "Did I just heard what I think I heard? He, he said yes? What about our wedding? Our honeymoon? What about me?! Where will I be while he is off sailing the seas with Jack?! He could get hurt!"
"I.I don't know." Victoria said. "Maybe I shouldn't have told you all that, or at least have waited until we were at least...sitting, or someplace besides the street."
"No, its ok." Said Elizabeth, heading towards the blacksmith's shop.
"Shall I come with you?" Victoria called after her.
"No I think I need to talk to him in private." Elizabeth answered.
Victoria walked down the street. Maybe she shouldn't have told Elizabeth. Will would have told her what happened. Then it wouldn't have come as such a shock to her.
She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice where she was going until someone grabbed her arm.
"Lass! What are ye doin, tryin to get yerself killed!" She heard a vioce say.
She snapped back into reality and realized that she almost walked right off the side of the docks!
She turned to face the man. "Im terribly sorry, was thinking, not paying-"
She froze. It was the pirate! The one that saved her before! The one that was talking to Will.
"You look familiar. Have I saved you before?" He asked dark brown eyes laughing at her.
"Actually, yes, I do believe you have." She said with a curtsy. "And I thank you again. But now I must be on my way. Goodbye, Mr?" She remembered his name, she wasn't that dumb, but by the way he acted it wouldn't hurt his ego any if she suddenly forgot.
"Lass, surley yer memory isn't that bad, eh? I know mine isn't." He smiled at her.
Great so now what was she going to do, not stand there and look stupid, that's for sure.
"Yes, Captain Jack Sparrow. I remember. You must take into consideration Mr. Sparrow, I am introduced to a lot of people." She said.
"Ah, youre all high class too, like Lizzie." He stated, rather than asked.
"Yes, I suppose. My father is good friends with the governor."
"Ahh. I see." He said, curling up the ends of his mustache and bowing to her.
She giggled. "You are funny Mr. Sparrow." She said, smiling at him.
"Captian, love, Captian Sparrow." He said. Looking her in the eyes.
"Right, you are funny Captain Sparrow." She said, still grinning like an idiot.
There was a long pause. "The treasure." She suddenly said. "You were talking to Will about treasure." She stopped and winced, realizing she just gt caught.
"Never mind. Don't pay attention to that."
"How did you know I was talking to Will about treasure?" He asked, his eyebrows raised at her.
"Fine." So she told him about how she overheard him and Will, then told Elizabeth. And about how Elizabeth is currently going over to the black smiths shop to yell at him.
"Shit," He said when she was through. "Tha's not good lass. Not good at all."
"What do we do?" She asked.
"Well, I think we will go to the smithy and try to calm down Elizabeth so she doesn't kill her fiance."
"Are you sure that won't get us killed, too?" She asked.
"I sure hope not." He smiled, then held out his arm. She took it, and they made their way to go save Will.
'' *~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~)*(~*~)*(~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~* '' There tis' people. Kinda crappy ending, ya. But next chapter will be pretty good. Promise. And I have one more question.
