Author's Note: Not in the mood...
Will led you down a street into the more dingy part of Port Royal. You couldn't help but think something was terribly wrong. You didn't want to believe it though; Will was such a kind loving person. He isn't the type to commit a crime. You found it almost impossible to believe that he was even on speaking terms with Jack. The pair of them were worlds apart.
"Will, where are we going?" you asked. The silence was making you impatient to wherever Will was taking you.
"There is somewhere I'd like to show you," he answered, in a distant voice. You wondered what he was thinking about. You felt his grasp on your arm tighten and his pace slowly became faster. You immediately regretted coming with him in the first place.
"What do you like to read?" he asked you.
"Well, when I was younger I used to read stories about commodores and orderly fashion" you answered. Will laughed. It was a soulful laugh. Your might brightened. Maybe nothing was wrong after all.
"I'm guessing that you read stories about pirates and adventure?" he asked. You shook your head. You felt foolish with this curse. You couldn't stand not telling the truth.
"It's ok, I understand," he said. You felt like saying "no you do not" but held it back. How could he understand? He most definitely did not understand. This curse...it was horrible and everything you've ever wanted was to be rid of it. Rid of it so you could be a normal person again. Everywhere you went you felt like a freak, or some sort of unnatural person. "Jack is unnatural," you thought. But really, he isn't. He's different, not unnatural. At least Jack can tell the truth. Will let go of you and opened the door to a bookstore, which brought your wandering mind back to present time. You walked in.
"I'll just be a moment. Feel free to look around, I'll find you in a little bit" Will said. You walked around the shop, finding nothing that really caught your eye. Across the room there was an intriguing sign. It simply read "Magick". You didn't think it wise to have a sign like that in a bookstore, being bold read and all. Magic was still a touchy subject for most Englishmen and women. You walked to that end of the store. In front of the sign there was an enormous heap of brown binded books. You touched the spine of one that read "Curses and Counter Curses for the Common Man". You shuddered, imagining all the evil things that could be withheld in the pages of that book. You picked it up and gently turned the pages. Titles like "Plague upon them" and "Raise the dead alive again" jumped out. Just then a hand touched your shoulder. You gasped and the book fell to the floor.
"Oh Will its just you!" you muttered as you picked the book up off the dusty wood floor.
"Yes, those books could even make the most fearsome pirate of the Caribbean shudder" he said.
"That would be Jack, wouldn't it?" you responded.
"Well, yes it would be Jack!" he said with a smile. "You ready to leave? I think that Elizabeth has a roast prepared for dinner," he continued. You shook your head and placed the book back in its place. Just then another book grabbed your attention. It looked exactly like...no! It couldn't possibly be the book that gave you the curse!
&*&*&
A cliffhanger! Take that all you cliffhanger-loving readers! Actually, I find them quite annoying but they keep a story going. No worries, more chapters will be up soon! Please review because that's what makes my world turn round n round. If you'd like to read my live journal, he is the link. You can review or send me an email if you'd like to ask any questions.
