PotC- Mistress of the Sea- Chapter Five- Back to land
Disclaimers- I don't own any of the PotC characters (as much as I try I just can't get Johnny and Orlando pout) so don't sue me!
Hey guys! I don't get it, I've got this other story on fictionpress.com which I like much better, but no one else does! Very weird. Anyways, here's the next chapter, I'll try to make it long, but I'm not guaranteeing anything!
Jack came into Colette's cabin later that day. "Ye ready t' go yet?"
Colette nodded, not wishing to speak. A lump was forming in her throat and she couldn't explain why. Opening her mouth she was going to speak, but decided not to at the last minute.
Jack saw this. "I'll miss ye lass." With a small smile on his lips, he picked up her chest from the corner of the room and carried it out.
Colette swallowed the lump, following him out of the cabin.
They arrived at the mansion late at night, having ridden all afternoon long. Only an hour ago, Colette had dropped from her horse, exhausted. Jack, the gallant man that he was, swiftly picked her up on his own horse, beating out the rest of his men.
Everyone got off their horses, and started up the long driveway. Jack had Colette in his arms, cradled like a baby. She was still asleep, but as Jack took her off the horse, she turned her head and murmured something incomprehensible.
The party trudged up the long walkway, all but one nearly dropping with exhaustion. The odd one out was too preoccupied with carrying a particularly entrancing burden.
When they reached the door, Jack motioned for Gibbs to ring the bell. Almost immediately the door swung open and a jubilant Elizabeth greeted the men. "What took you so long?" she said quite loudly, until she noticed the sleeping girl in Jack's arms. "Oh, sorry," she whispered. The excited woman motioned for all of them to come inside, only cringing once when she saw the dirty men put their even dirtier shoes on her Persian rug.
Jack and the pirates only stayed long enough for Jack to deposite Colette in her cousin's care, and for each to down the contents of their own bottles of rum, helpfully supplied by Will.
When they were about to leave, Jack took Will to the side. "Take good care of Colette, will ye mate?"
With a grin Will answered, "Anything you say [captain]."
Okay, I lied, this is a seriously short chapter, but it was just such a good place to leave off. Never fear, I'll probably have another chapter posted by the end of the weekend. Now you know what you have to do! Review!
