Chapter 5: A New Acquaintance
Annalisa opened her eyes to find that she was in the house of William Turner. She could barely recall the night before, only bits and pieces of it, so many emotions overwhelmed her that previous night that she found it somewhat painful to recall every single detail. She quickly changed into a white dress and slipped a brown corset over it, it looked rather flattering. She let her hair down and watched as the crimped hair bounced against her shoulders and filled out the frame of her face. She nodded confidently and made her way downstairs.
She was greeted by the smell of burnt toast and what she thought smelt like eggs. When she got into a full view of the kitchen she found a struggling William Turner trying to make a descent breakfast.
"No need to fret Mr. Turner." Anna said. "I'll make you both some breakfast, my treat."
A few minutes later Jon came down the stairs in dirty pants and wrinkled shirt.
"What smells so good." He said as he made his way down the stairs. "Oh no wonder you aren't cooking Dad."
Will rolled his eyes at his son and said, "Would it hurt you to put on some presentable clothing Jon, we have company and it looks like you just came home from a tavern."
"Oh it's quite alright." Anna said placing plates of eggs and toast in front of Jon and Will. "I'm used to it, working in a pub all me life."
"You did?" Jon asked.
"Oh yea," Anna said. "My mom, Gazelle, owned a small pub in Tortuga which we lived above, kinda cozy if you think about it." Anna finished with a smile.
"This is delicious Anna." Will said, "Thank you very much."
"No problem love, I can clean up if you want me too."
"No, no it's fine. Jon will show you around a bit, besides it's best if you get acquainted, he'll be accompanying you on your little adventure."
"Wonderful." Anna said with a marvelous grin. "Thank you so much."
"Pleasure's all mine." Jon said.
**********
"Well there's nothing really to show." Jon said as him and Annalisa made their way to the docks.
"Yea, no need too. How are we getting there?" Anna asked with a type of nervousness in her voice.
"I was hoping you could tell me that." As Jon stopped to look at Anna whom continued to walk.
"Well, I saw some decent sized boats on the docks, at night obviously nobody'll be there and with the two of us it shouldn't be that hard to get off the docks."
Jon stopped in his footsteps and grabbed Anna by the arm. "Are you suggesting we steal one?" He said with a worried tone in his voice.
"Commandeer, we're going to commandeer that boat." She said while pointing to a medium sized boat and continued walking.
"B-but" Jon began to stutter but was quickly stopped by Anna's fingers over his mouth.
"Look, we ain't getting far without a boat and that's the best one of its size. Now…ya wont an adventure…or not?"
Before Jon could answer though a girl with bright green eyes and brown hair made her way over.
"Hello Jon," Sarah McKinley said. "Whose your friend."
"Uh…" Jon began.
"Annalisa." Anna said while reaching out to shake Sarah's hand.
"Sarah McKinley. Are you new around these parts?"
"Visiting." Anna said with the slightest hint of hatred in her voice, this girl annoyed her from the moment she opened her mouth.
"Ah, from where?"
"Tor..." Anna began but was quickly cut off by Jon practically shouting "Trallies! Yes Trallies! You know that uh…far off island a bit west from here right?"
"Oh yes, lovely place, do you like it there?" Sarah asked Anna.
"Uh yes, guess so, home is where the heart is right?" Anna said who at this point was utterly confused.
"Yes well just the other day me and my fiancée Gregory were thinking of spending the summer there, after our wedding of course."
"Oh so your engaged." Anna said.
"Yes." Sarah said, "Were getting married in a month."
"Lovely." Anna said with a maleficent grin. "How old are you hun?"
"Sixteen, I know it took me a while to find a decent match but there he is. He's amazing."
"Ah well I guess your one of the lucky ones Sarah." Anna said.
"What do you mean?" Sarah said.
"Marrying the first man you really cared about I mean look at me I'm only a year older than you and I couldn't imagine being tied down now. I mean having to go through raising a family and practically eliminating any chance with another man. Must be hard"
Sarah's smile became rather forced. "Well I didn't think of it that way I suppose…but I look forward to a family with Gregory."
"Well then you've made the right choice." Anna said with a look of satisfaction in her eye.
"Well yes…um…I have to go. Nice to meet you, good bye Jon."
"B-bye." Jon said as he watched Sarah go off to the distance, once he was sure she was out of earshot he turned around to Anna. "What do you think you just did? You probably just ruined the most known soon to be marriage throughout this place!"
"Look Jon." Anna began. "If they had enough money to buy a extra house in Trallies or whatever he must be pretty wealthy correct?" Jon nodded. "Well you wont believe how many rich sons of bitches from these parts come to Tortuga every day to cheat on girls like her. I did her a favor."
Jon couldn't find it in himself to be mad. What Annalisa was saying was probably true and not to mention Sarah's marriage to Gregory was probably the least thing Jon wanted at the moment.
"And by the way," Anna began. "Whats with making up a dumb ol' story about where I'm from?"
"If anyone besides me or my father found out you were from Tortuga you would have been in big trouble." Jon said seriously.
"Well in that case much obliged." Anna said as she shook Jon's hand. "You like that girl Sarah right?"
"Yes."
"I could tell." Anna said.
"How?" Jon asked.
"The way you are around her. Look Jon, because of you being so accommodating to me at the moment I'll make you a bargain. I'll get ya that girl as long as you try your hardest to get me dad back."
"Deal." Jon said. "Now where was that ship you wanted to commandeer?"
