A/N: for disclaimer (If you really must see it) see last chapter...I don't want to write another one yet, it's too painful.
Well, since this chapter is so close to the last I really don't have anything to say, just that I hope you are all being good little reviewers. It really does make an author want to update faster if they have reviews, especially good reviews (wink wink, nod nod, nudge nudge).
All right, well that's about it....so on with the story!

(Chapter 4: There's a choice?)
"For how long?"
"What?"
"For how long would she be staying?"
"Oh, about 2 weeks."
It didn't sound that bad. Jack would be staying about that long, and if anyone could get the girl to listen to them it would most likely be him...not to mention he would probably be more able to understand where Alexandra was coming from. "Well...all right"
"Wonderful! Now, are there any others living with you?"
"My husband Will. And his friend is staying with us for about that long," she answered, looking at Jack who, now, seemed completely back to normal. Alexandra looked at Will and Jack with curiosity, her eyes lingering on Jack for a moment taking in the full, though strange, appearance of him. " However," Liz continued, "I will only agree if she consents..." Alexandra's head whipped her direction, and fixed on her with a look of utter shock, which she quickly concealed. "...I will not fight her constantly because she would rather be else where." Mr. Whitting looked stunned.
"Well, it is either go with you, or someone else who might not be kind enough to give me the choice," came a Spanish voice from her side. It was the first time she had really heard the girl speak. She had a lovely, kind voice, though it sounded slightly perturbed. Elizabeth and Alexandra watched each other for a moment before Alexandra flashed a beautiful smile in her direction. "I agree."
"Good. Are you ready to go then?"
"No. You would like me to change, I assume."
"Not right now...unless you want to." Alexandra seemed suspicious for a second, then nodded. "I still must go retrieve my things."
"Need help?" Will offered. "No," came the reply.
She disappeared below decks. The rest of the girls began to whisper, until the teacher started doling them out to the crowd, like slaves at auction. Alexandra reappeared a few minutes later carrying a pack and a medium sized leather bag.

Sorry this chapter is so short, but it's prewritten and these just seem to be the best places to make a break at...please forgive me. And while your at the task of forgiving me, please click on the purple 'make the author happy' button, okay?
