A.N.: Well, homework has kept me hostage, so I'm really terribly sorry for
the lack of updates, so I'm going to make it up to you guys! Here's that
chapter I've been promising! Hope you enjoy it, and if you do...send me
more reviews! I need them, badly.
Kami's copper colored curls bounced around her head as she tromped down the hall and banged loudly on Will's door. When no answer came, she shifted the tray of food she carried and opened the door. Looking up she found Lore and Will snuggled deeply into the heavy blankets of his bed. Cocking a sly eyebrow, she cleared her throat and carefully placed the tray on the table and ripped the curtains apart, letting the beautiful golden rays of the rising sun emerge into the room.
Lore groaned and murmured something about strangling Kami when her hangover was gone, Will only held on tighter to Lore and buried his face away from the sunlight. "Morning, gorgeous!" Kami chimed. She smiled broadly and curtsied lightly, "We're leaving Tortuga now, Jack had a small run in with an 'old friend' and is obliged to be leaving. So we're leaving before noon."
Kami pounded out the door and was sure to slam the door loudly so Lore's hangover would increase. Will kissed Lore's head and wrapped his arms tightly around her. She looked at him, her gray eyes were like soft steel. "I don't know if Carter is dead," Lore said silently. She stretched at kissed Will's cheek. "If he isn't," Will said brushing the hair from Lore's face, "Then he has just as many lives as a cat." Lore giggled lightly then nipped Will's earlobe. He squirmed away and began to tickle her and the two rolled around the bed in horseplay.
The door burst open and Jack stood in the doorway, waving his hands around wildly. "Will, change of plans, mate! Some old friends found out I'm here, and seemed to remember I owed them money for a game I lost, so we're leaving now, and-". He cut the sentence short when he saw Lore straddled on Will's back twisting his arm behind his back, while he had her wrist caught in his hand. "Right...Uhm...We're leaving now."
With that he left the two as they continued to wrestle. The ship was soon moving and Jack was heard shouting orders and stumbling around the deck. "Where's me bloody rum? 'Ay Kami! Where'd my bloody map go? Don't tell me you lost it, woman! All right! I'm sorry, ow oww. Sorry, I said!" Lore and Will laughed at Jack and Kami, knowing they were quite the smart match.
The winds had picked up immensely, pushing the storm clouds back past Tortuga and right behind the Black Pearl. Jack groaned and prepared the crew for storm conditions. Luckily an unmapped island appeared and they anchored as soon as possible. The crew fled to the island and found a few abandoned huts. "What if they aren't abandoned, Jack?" Lore asked suddenly. "Then they wouldn't mind lettin' the all famous Captain Jack Sparrow stayin' in their house," Jack replied with a sly grin.
"I don't think this hut is abandoned," Lore stated. "Then go see if you can find someone to show us around? Jack and I will stay here," Kami said giving Lore a don't-come-back-for-a-while-because-we'll-be-busy look. Lore rolled her eyes and clutched the butt of her sword. Lore and Will wandered further into the dense trees listening to the tropical birds as they welcomed the oncoming storm with their exotic voices of song. Lore smiled at the rainbow colored birds.
Will stopped suddenly noticing the smell of smoke that trickled in the air. He motioned for Lore to follow and they detoured off the path into a more dense area of trees. Lore began to hear voices singing an ancient song in a tongue she never heard before. "What's that?" She asked eagerly. Will smirked, "More like, whom?" They crept up silently and watched as women danced wildly around a circle or fire and men sang in low voices in that strange language. It slipped from their mouths like water out of a jug. The dancing and voices enchanted Lore.
A man saw the two in the bushes and walked up to them, a smile spread on his face. He motioned for them to come, and spoke a few rapid words in his language. Will tensed and prepared to turn and run, but Lore smiled widely and took long strides to meet the man. She turned to Will and caught his arm, "Let's go!" She smiled like a child and tugged him along. Will cautiously followed Lore to the ring of dancing and singing people. Their skin was dark as night, stretched tightly over slender muscles. Children came rushing to the couple with light skin.
Lore cupped their fat cheeks in her hands and smiled. "Do you speak English?" Will asked the man. He paused slightly then held his hand out putting a small space between his index finger and thumb, "Very little," he said, concentrating on what words he had spoken. A young girl of about 12 walked up to the three, "I speak English," she said. "Rum traders come here often and have taught us children to speak English." She smiled then motioned them to follow her, "Come! Join us! We're summoning the rain gods, so join us! All you do is dance around the fire, see?" Lore giggled at the girl's accent and nodded, "Sure!" She turned to Will, "Come one, Will, it'll be fun!"
Will smiled slightly then heaved a sigh, "All right, what do we have to do?" The crowd around them smiled and cheered, patting the couple on the shoulders. The girl took Lore to a hut, while a crowd of boys rushed to Will and took him to another hut. They tossed him some clothes they had and painted his face with bright colors. They took his hands and smiled broadly as they emerged from the hut and into the light of the fire. The singing and dancing continued and the beating of drums rang through the air.
Lore exited the hut and tapped Will on the shoulder. The girl's followed and giggled as they ran passed the two and joined the ring of dancers. Will gaped at Lore with utter amazement. She was dressed in a silken sarong that acted as a dress, small braids decorated her hair as it hung around her shoulders. Small bright flowers made a crown around her skull. Lore smiled sheepishly as Will offered his hand. Taking it, Lore pulled Will to the circle of dancers and began to twirl around as the clouds began to cover the moon.
The dancing lasted all night until the rains reached the island and slowly killed the prancing flames of the fire. Slowly the people returned to the huts, taking Will and Lore with them. The native people of the island brought out large bottles of rum and passed them around, they brought out more and more bottles and consumed them greedily. "Drink," said one man said to Lore and Will, "I bet, you no drink more than me. Drink!" Will held his hands up in defeat, but Lore grabbed the bottle from the man's hands. "Challenge accepted!" she replied. The two chugged the liquor quickly as the golden liquid ran down their stretched throats.
A short while later, bottles littered the floor and bodies lay across the floor, including Lore and Will's. The infant sun gradually broke the clouds apart, lightly warming the wet ground. Will leisurely opened his eyes and rose from his uncomfortable position. Shaking Lore's shoulder, he kissed her cheek lightly then set off to find Jack and Kami. Upon finding their hut, he realized, neither was suitably clothed, so he decided to wait until later. When he came back, everyone was emerging from their huts and stretching into the warm rays of the sun. Lore was playing with the children and smiled at Will. "Let's stay for a while longer," she said. "Jack won't mind," she winked.
Will smiled then pulled her close and murmured into her ear, "So how about picking up where we left off, hmm?" Lore blushed then turned her head and nipped his earlobe, "We'll see..."
A.N.: Wow.long time since an update, I know. And I'm terribly sorry and apologize a thousand times! Next chapter will have that...particular scene I promised. I love you all!
