Chapter Three

A Picnic With a View

Once you and Elizabeth walk out of town you wonder where exactly you're headed. You looked around and noticed that the land here was more meadowy, the grass looked soft and it was a healthy shade of green, and there were various colors of flowers everywhere. You figured that was a usual thing considering that it was Spring.

"We're almost there, Rhiana," Elizabeth said, following a trail up a hill. You look off to one side and you see a flat, stony area. This place also contained various stone steps and arches. It was on a rather high peak that overlooked the ocean.

Elizabeth leads you up the rest of the path, which ended at a flat topped, grassy area adjacent to the stony one you had seen earlier. When you reached the top you saw that the men were already there and the picnic blanket was spread out beneath them.

While Elizabeth sits down beside Will you walk towards the far side of the flat topped area there sitting on. You walk cautiously because you can see the ocean in plain view and you know that at any given moment the ground beneath you could disappear suddenly.

You stop before you can even see the edge, after all you would rather be safe then sorry. "Be careful luv," Jack says, walking up behind you.

"Yeah, I figured it wouldn't be a very good idea to go falling over the edge," you say sarcastically.

"I believe that's common around here luv. I suggest ye don't try, I don't think me and me hair could handle it again," Jack said, staring out at the water and playing with the beads and trinkets in his hair.

"What do you mean?" you ask, staring out at the water yourself.

"Last time I was here, about two years ago, I jumped off that peak there," he said pointing to the stone cliff you had looked at earlier, "I had to get away from the Commodore, the stupid eunuch. Then before that I had to rescue William's bonny lass when she fell."

"What's all that got to do with your hair?" you asked.

"The salt water and the sudden drop tangles me beads," he answered, giving you a gold toothed smile.

You give him a side ways glance, trying to figure out if he was telling you the truth. Is he really that concerned about his hair? Weird man.

"Time to eat," Elizabeth said, calling you and Jack to the picnic and the blanket.

You sit down and end up between Jack and Elizabeth. You look around you and see the largest amount of food you had ever seen set out for only four people. You saw various types of both fruits and vegetables, as well as biscuits, bread, chicken, and two different types of pie. William hands you a plate and you begin to pick up food items that you enjoy eating.

You had completely and totally ignored what everyone had been saying because you were to engrossed with your own thoughts. About ten minutes after you had sat down the topic of conversation turned to you.

"Rhiana, do you have any idea how you got here without your trunk and in such unusual clothes?" Elizabeth asks you. When you don't respond she repeats your name and waves her hand in front of your face. Once she has your attention she repeats her question.

You suppose this may be the time to tell the truth. "I have something t tell you."



Sorry so short. Thanks to all my readers, unfortunately there will be short delays in my posting. Christmas vacation ends today and I have to go back to school. It sucks because exams are coming up soon so I will have loads of homework and studying to do. I'll post as fast as I can.
