PotC- Mistress of the Sea- Chapter four-
Disclaimers- I STILL don't own any of the PotC characters, but I do own Colette! So hah! And thank you to my reviewers, you like me! (Most of you at least) *Hug myself*
Quick little note, when I use [_] I'm emphasizing the word. Italics, Underlining, and Bold sort of change back to normal when I upload chapters, so I have to use this. I'm sorry if you don't like it, but unless you want a monotone story, you'll just have to deal with it!
*************
Back at the governor's mansion, Elizabeth paced around the parlor. "{Where the hell is he!}" She thought. Her usually faithful husband, Will, had disappeared for almost 24 hours now!
"You know dear," Elizabeth's father, Governor Swann, walked into the room, "Pacing won't do anything to get him back sooner. Anyways, he's a responsible young man, he wouldn't do anything daft."
"I hope not," Elizabeth growled. Her father left the room. She followed his advice, stopped pacing and sat down with a thud in a sofa near the door.
Suddenly, the door swung open and her bleary eyed husband stumbled through. Elizabeth jumped up, "Will!" she yelled.
"I can explain Elizabeth," Will began, "You see, I was just at the forge, and I was making that sword for the Commodore, and then the craziest thing happened!"
"What?" Elizabeth asked, not sure she wanted to hear the answer.
"'Ello Liz." An old friend swaggered through the door.
"Jack!" Elizabeth cried, running over to Jack and kissing him on the cheek.
"It's [Captain] Jack mate, and sorry 'bout yer husband, won't happen again, savvy?"
Elizabeth sighed, she couldn't exactly hold her husband responsible for Jack's doings, "It's all right then, I forgive you."
Will let out his own sigh, this one of relief.
Elizabeth turned to her husband, gave him a quick peck on the cheek, and turned back to Jack, "Jack, sorry, Captain, how long are you staying here for?"
"Only a day or so, I need to drop off some I picked up on me boat."
"Really?" Elizabeth said, "Who?"
"Will's second cousin, Colette!" Jack said gleefully. Will groaned, he had no doubt in his mind how Elizabeth would take this.
"Thank you for telling me Jack. Will follow me. We need to talk." Elizabeth grabbed her husband's hand and pulled him to the stairs.
"Anytime Lizzie! An' I'll let you get away with the whole 'Jack' thing! But just this time, ye hear me mate!" Realizing that he wasn't wanted anymore, Jack hurried out the open door.

In the kitchen, Governor Swann came away from the door, "Mary, ready the guest bedroom." He said, chuckling.
*************
Back on the Black Pearl, Colette had just woken up. She sat up, and realized something, Jack still wasn't back. If he had been, she knew that he would have banged on her door and woken her up. She laughed, obviously things had gotten a little wild at the bar.
Her thoughts were interrupted when there was a loud knocking on the door. She sighed, "Come in."
Jack walked in. "'Ello love. Have a good sleep?"
"Yes."
"Ye might wanna get yer things together, yer gonna be goin' over to Will's this afternoon."
"Alright."
Jack started to leave, but thought better of it, "You know, 'bout that [thing], I'm sorry 'bout it. But if ye ever wanna..."
Colette cut him off, "I get it. Now leave, I'm still in my nightgown."
Jack nodded and left.
Colette stayed on her bed, thinking. She wondered why she felt so sad about leaving the Black Pearl. She had only been on it for a week, but something had bonded her to the ship, and it's crew. More specifically, it's captain.
*************
I'm going to leave off there, but I'll start writing the next chapter soon. I have a new story on fictionpress.com too, it's called "Luck of the Elves" if you want to check it out. And don't worry, Jackoholic, I'm going to use your suggestion about Colette's nickname.
