Only the Truth
Author's Note:
MATRIXIE! Pay close attention, lass: You can tell the truth ONLY when I decide its necessary! I'm not scolding you or anything! * laughs * It's just that I need to let Jack know about your curse other wise the rest of the story wouldn't work out!
Chapter 10
You woke up the next morning quite groggily. You hauled yourself out of bed and walked slowly down the hallway to see a gigantic staircase. You'd never seen one so big. The whole house was dingy and dark. You missed the bright Caribbean sun and the salty air. There were muffled voices in the rooms below you. You decided to let your inner sneak pop out for a little bit. You walked as quietly as you could muster and made no noise whatsoever while you walked to the doorway in to the room where the voices were coming from.
"Yes, but where could I look first?" That was definitely Jack's voice. It was unmistakable.
"Have you tried talking to Melquiades?" that voice you didn't recognize. Melquiades? He exists! At least now you know you aren't a psycho.
"No, actually I didn't. Last time I had a bit o a row with Melquiades. Don't fancy going up to see him" Jack again.
"Well, I'm sure I could help you." You were guessing that was Will, since it was a male voice. Unless Elizabeth had a very deep voice, which you doubted, this man was Will. You took this opportunity to make your appearance. Just then you noticed you were only wearing your nightgown. You fled up the stairs, not bothering to mind the noise you were making. A woman was in your room when you got there. Luckily she turned around to see you first.
"Hello! I'm Elizabeth. I thought you might be needing to borrow these" she held out a couple of dresses. You nodded gratefully.
"Jack told us about your...erm...how should I say?". You filled in for her
"Condition?"
"Yes, if that's what you'd like. We understand and don't hesitate to tell the truth, well really lies!" she offered a smile. You were slightly hurt that Jack had told them, but grateful they knew. You returned the smile, eyebrows furrowed as you could see from a nearby mirror.
"I'll leave you to get changed and then you can going us downstairs for breakfast! See you then!" Elizabeth scurried out of the room. She was nice, but for some reason you couldn't relax in this house. It was instinctive. There were red flags going off in your head everywhere, but you ignored them for now. You got changed and went back downstairs.
"Morning Luv!" Jack practically yelled.
"Hello, I'm Will Turner" So this was Will Turner. You couldn't help but notice his good looks. You quickly knocked the thought out of your head. You took his hand. Jack went on talking about something you hadn't understood and ignored as you sat down across from Will on their enormous table in the dining room. You gazed at Will, dumbstruck by his all together softness. He was very different from Jack. You looked at Jack. He gives off a fun loving adventurous person. You looked at Will. Will's aura was completely different, loving and caring, passionate, you longed to be in his arms. Just then Elizabeth walked into the room, holding a baby.
"Damn" you thought. He was completely off limits. Then you mentally scolded yourself for even thinking these thoughts in the first place. How could you? You felt like smacking yourself.
"Luv?" Jack asked you.
"Herm?" you hadn't been paying attention to anything anyone was saying.
"I asked if you would like some more toast"
"No thank you" you said. He handed over some toast. The rest of breakfast went on without any other concerns.
Later in the day...
You were just about to go up the stairs to your room since there was nothing else to keep you occupied. Will appeared out of the doorway near the stairs.
"Why hello. How would you like to go on a walk with me?" Will asked.
"I'd hate to" you responded, loving that it sounded so incorrect. You made your way over to where he was standing and he locked his arm into yours and the couple of you made your way out of the house. The Caribbean sun burned your eyes. It was nice to be out of the dark house, as big and glorious it was. Will turned and smiled to you. Again you felt that instinct that something wasn't right.
