Chapter 2
The Girl
Will walked over and sat down next to Rose. She turned and looked at him.
"Where you been?" she asked taking another sip from the huge mug,
"Gotcha these." He placed the three wooden stakes on the bar table.
"For my crossbow?" Will nodded, "But how'd you know I was low?" he shrugged,
"Just figured you kill a lot, so you must run out pretty quickly. You know?"
"Yea. Thanks." She handed him the mug, "That reminds me. I have to go clean my knifes and metal stakes." Will watched her as she walked up the stairs to her room.
Will sat there a while longer drinking out of the mug, until someone entered. He walked back around the bar and stood waiting for the person to sit down.
"What will it be?" Will asked as he noticed it was the same girl from the street. She looked up at him and realized it was him,
"You work here?" she asked surprised,
"Well...yes?" he lied with a smile,
"It was Will, right?" he nodded his head, "Oh, I'll have an Ale , please." Will took a mug, filled it up, and gave it to her. Then he walked back around and sat down next to her.
"So, I never got your name." She looked at him as she took a sip, then spoke.
"Eirraca." Will looked at her,
"A beautiful name." She looked at him slightly blushing and smiled.
"Thank you."
"So I've never seen you around here, are you new?" Will took another sip from his own mug,
"Yes, I just came in on a ship from Tortuga."
"And how do you like it?"
"Its very nice. Beautiful."
"And the trip over?"
"Ohhhh.... I loved it. I love the water, the dolphins, whales."
"Did you see any?"
"Yes. A whole heard of dolphins and a whale." There was a short silence.
"Where are you staying at? I mean, at an Inn or with a friend?" she looked at him for a minute or two.
"A friend." Will nodded his head and finished off his drink, as did she.
"Well, I enjoyed talking with you. Maybe I could see you in here again?" Eirraca said getting up,
"How about tomorrow?" Will suggested as she reached the door,
"Sounds good. See you tomorrow." She waved; Will waved back, "Bye." She closed the door and it was silent. Will got up and washed the mugs.
"Who was she?" Will turned from the sink, Rose was wearing her usual night suit; her shirt, pants, and boots were all black, she wore a coat much similar to what Will wore, only black. She had the crossbow slung over her back.
"Isn't it a little early to go night roaming?" Will smiled, she glared at him,
"Don't change the subject. Who was she?"
"Just a girl."
"Ahhh...just a girl." She sat down quickly, "So what's her name?"
"...why do you want to know?" Will asked, this time glaring at her, she smiled,
"So I know who to find and beat when you get hurt." Will rolled his eyes,
"Eirriaca. She was really nice."
"Yea. They act like that so they can get your money, and your shelter...and your..." She raised her eyebrows; Will just smiled and shook his head,
"You don't like her, do you?" Rose walked over to the door,
"Now...what gave you that impression?" she asked, opening the door and walking halfway out only to stop. "Just remember, she breaks your heart, I break her face." She turned and closed the door.
