Only the Truth

Author's Note: One word! Secret Window! Never mind, one movie title. IT'S OUT TOMMOROW! WOO! I can't wait! I was watching 90 seconds of pop culture on CNN (cause I'm a loser like that) and they were talking about the movie. Us weekly gave it 2 ½ stars. Come on people! We know its better than that! But they also said it's got some laughs, which is a good thing because I love movies that can scare the hell out of me and make me laugh all at the same time. I read the book "Four Past Midnight" so I know how the story goes, but it's hard to picture a slaughtered dog. Awww. CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!
Chapter 14
"I have to admit something to you" said Will. This wasn't what you had expected to hear. You expected something like "I'm about to kill you" or "I want you to die", but the events that were coming closely were far worse than you had expected.
"Let's walk, shall we?" he suggested. You really didn't want to, you wanted to go. You longed to be in Jack's arms. You again linked arms with Will. He led you in the opposite direction of the house.
"Will, where are we going?" you asked him as calmly as you could. He never responded. He led you into a dark alley. You asked him again, no answer. You felt your heat beat faster and faster. You wanted to scream and call out to the world.
"This thing I must admit to you, it cannot be known by any living soul than yourself and I" he said in a dark voice you had never heard him use before. His eyes weren't in this world, you noted. Dark and shining. His arms slid onto your back.
"Will..." he cut you off.
"Shh, darling. This is what I've wanted ever since I've set eyes on you" Suddenly you understood what was coming next. You wanted to go away, now. You silently said a prayer for all your loved ones. Then you remembered that you had no family or friends other than Will, Elizabeth, and Jack. You gave a prayer for Jack and Elizabeth, and little Mary-Beth. Will had proceeded to untying the top of your bodice. You felt goose bumps up and down your spine.
"Will, no" you said.
"Hush, I know you want me" (ok, sorry for the corny line there). You didn't want him at all. You wanted everything to be reversed. You wanted the curse to be lifted and that you could just be happy without avail. His cold hands brushed your back slightly, shuddering. The alley was dark and wet. You turned your head to the side, you wanted to pull his hair out, gouge his eyes out, anything to torture him to what he was doing. Your eyes closed as Will fidgeted with your bodice, which luckily didn't want to be removed easily. You opened your eyes and saw a dim light. You blinked. It was still there! Someone was coming to save you! The light became brighter and Will saw it. He covered your mouth with one hand. The man passed with the lantern without even taking notice of you or Will. You felt tears coming down your face.
"Will, please!"
"Now dear, you don't want to be begging?"
"And you don't want to be doing tha', mate" a third voice emerged from the darkness, placing a dagger on Will's throat. You knew exactly who it was from the first word said, Jack! Will let go of you and you hastily put the bodice back on. Jack pushed you away and handed you the lantern from his free hand. He had crept from the other direction of the alley, you figured out.
"Take tha' and get out of here" he said. You did as told. A few moments later you heard the clink of metal and a cry of pain. You wanted to turn back, fearing it was Jack who had been hurt. Moments later Jack emerged from the darkness. He had a bloody gash on his arm, staining his off white shirt a crimson red.
"Oh Jack!" you said.
"It's ok love, only a little cut," he said. "Will pulled out his sword and caught me off guard. Then he cut me here and ran off. No catching him now, since you had the light."
"But where will he go?"
"Dunno, I doubt e'll set foot near Elizabeth tonight"
"How is your arm?"
"Love, forget about me arm! What about you? Are you ok?"
"No"
"Listen, you've already got a curse that makes ye lie, and now ye lie even more! Tell me the truth love, I'm ere to help!"
"Yes" Your eyes went blurry because of all the tears, quickly making their way out of your eyes. Jack pulled you in for a tight embrace with his uninjured arm. You cried there on his shoulder for a few minutes. Then, as you calmed down, your senses came back to you. You let go of Jack and ripped a bit of fabric of your bodice and made a makeshift tourniquet. Jack tied it tightly to his arm.
"How did you know I needed help?" you asked, curious and a little less shaken.
"Well, the baby woke me up and Elizabeth had noticed the Whelp wasn't there. She came over to ask me to go an look for 'im. On my way down the stairs, I noticed your door was open and that you weren't present. That's when I felt the trouble. But Will? Would've never thought the son o' Bootstrap would ever do such a thing"
"And then you came down here and found me?"
"Yes" And then you remembered, the book! You turned around and ran back to the alleyway. You retraced your steps. You must've dropped it somewhere near here! It was nowhere to be seen. Jack appeared behind you.
"Oh Bloody 'ell! I think I've got it! You were out 'ere to get the book? An' you got it, and then the Whelp tried to rape you and you dropped it. I saw 'im run off with the book!" You and Jack looked at each other and instantaneously started running in the direction Will had run off.
"Ow!" you cried out in pain as your ankle gave way, letting you fall very ungracefully onto the dirty street. Jack came next to you and helped you up.
"I think we've lost 'im," he said. You shook your head. And the pair of you, without exchanging word, headed back to the Turner's house. Jack with his bloody arm, and you limping because of your ankle, you must've been a sight to see in the dead of night.
