This chapter is in Commodore Norrington's eyes.
I looked up just in time to see the roof cave in, and a beam fall on my shoulders.
"NO!" I screamed as it crashed down on me.
At the same time, I could have sworn I heard a woman scream "HELP!"
From somewhere in the distance I heard Will say "Goodbye."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
What must have been several minutes later, I opened my eyes to find a rather large wooden beam on my shoulders, hence, the unnatural position of my upper body. With some difficulty, I managed to bring my hand to my shoulders and upper back, and felt something sticky. Blood. Bringing my hand back, I shuddered, and managed to stand up. Most of the roof had caved in, and there were swords all over the place. There was a corner near the door that looked the worst out of the entire building. I staggered over, and heard something that resembled a moan.
"Can you hear me?" I cried in anguish, as I dug through the debris.
The moaning grew a little louder, and as I cleared away more wood, I started to see that the wood was bloodstained. What I saw at the bottom nearly stopped my heart.
"Elizabeth?!"
She continued to moan, and her eyes rolled into the back of her head. I picked her up, and examined her. The rafter had landed on her head, which made a very large gash.
"Will?" she called out very hoarsely and quietly, then started coughing up blood.
"Its okay," I said, holding her closer.
I knew I had to get help, but how? The exit was nearly blocked off, and Will was no where to be seen. I picked up Elizabeth, and brought her to the only place I knew I could bring her. The Governor's house. This would certainly end the party. But, Elizabeth would be so grateful to me. I can't believe I thought I would have to kill that stupid blacksmith to win over Elizabeth's heart. When I got to Governor Swann's house, and opened the door, everything stopped. Some of the people fainted, and nearly everyone's jaws dropped.
"What's going on? The party's not over yet?" yelled a very drunk Governor.
"Its Elizabeth. She's hurt," I said, holding her out to her father.
"Elizabeth!" he cried, and passed out.
I guess the combination of seeing his daughter nearly dead, and the alcohol in his system, put Governor Swann into a temporary sleep. Someone must have summoned the town doctor, because right after the last person left, the doctor rushed through the door and started stitching up Elizabeth.
"She's going to be okay. Just keep her in bed for a few weeks, and she'll be up again. Don't remove the bandages," the doctor instructed me.
"Thank you so much," I said, and gave him a bottle of the Governor's finest ale. He's already had too much. One bottle missing shouldn't matter.
I brought Elizabeth into her room, and laid her down on the bed. I plopped down next to her, and held her until she fell asleep.
