a lot of homework etc. I'm gonna try to type a lot more chapters this
weekend and when I can. Well enjoy!I don't own anything except I made up
the maid, Ann
Elizabeth sat in the warm sand, elbows on her knees, gazing out into the sunset. Jack was leaving tonight. There was no way her father would let her say good-bye. She couldn't believe he was actually leaving her. Right when she needed him the most. When everything in her life seemed to depend on him. When she thought about him night and day. Did that night on the island mean nothing?
A maid stood a little ways off, watching Miss Swann. Something had changed about her. Definitely. Elizabeth had become more quiet and reserved. She had changed somehow. Become, maybe more adult. She was pretty far along into her preganacy. Maybe there was a young man involved. That might be the answer to the young Miss's absent night. Her father sure thought that. Oh, Miss Swann don't do something drastic!
Watching the sun finally go beyond the horizon, Elizabeth stood up and walked to Ann, her maid. "Would you mind if we took a little stop before going home?" she asked. "I just wanted to say hello to a friend. Promise you won't tell?" Ann thought about it for a moment. This might be the answer to her curious suspicions. Should she let her go? "Alright Miss Swann, of course you can go. I suspect your life might be a little stressful now."
"Why on Earth would you think that," Elizabeth asked turning, eyebrows raised.
"Just with the baby and all," Ann replied quickly lowering her eyes, " We should be going now, your father won't be happy if we're late. Please hurry Miss Swann."
So Elizabeth led Ann to the dock, right to the ship which she knew so familiarly. She was relieved to know the Black Pearl was still there.
"Wait here Ann, I promise I'll only take 10 minutes."
" Alright, Miss. Just 10 minutes."
Elizabeth walked up to the Black Pearl. She saw Ana Maria slouching down on a chair on the dock, sharpening a knife. "Ana Maria, would you happen to know where Jack is?" Elizabeth asked. "Ach, he's down-stairs in his room, you should know that."
"Would you go and bring him up here for me?"
"Jus' go and get 'im your self, I'm sure you'll be happier down there," Ana remarked crossly. "No, Ana please get him for me, it's kind of important," Elizabeth responded a little forcefully.
"I'm going, shiver me timbers, hold yar horses." And Ana wobbled down the stairs.
Elizabeth porched on the side of the ship, watching for any soldiers or worse the Commadore. Ann was still on the dock, nervously looking from side to side for any thing from monsters to pirates. Jack finally lumbered up the stairs with Ana trailing behind him. "Ello Elizabeth," Jack said smiling with a far-off smile.
"Jack, we need to talk. Last time you just left me standing there, tears rolling down my face, now at least tell me why you need to leave."
" We can continue this conversation in my room, Elizabeth, if you'd like."
"We're quite fine right here. Please Jack just tell me why."
Jack then grabbed Elizabeth's hand and dragged her forcefully down the stairs but she struggled so he finally just picked her up with his hands and carried her.
"Jack!" She protested.
He finally then set her down on the edge of his "cot". "Elizabeth, I have to go. I'm a pirate, what do you expect. The crew won't let me carry on with some sort of romantic affair and make them all stay in one harbour. Pirates need pilaging and plundering. We all need new sites. I promise I'll come back Elizabeth. Just a few weeks away maybe a month at the most. I'll never be away for long."
"Jack, please don't I couldn't bear it."
"I have to love. Now let me give you a famous pirate good-bye and his lips found her mouth and started traveling down her neck.
"No, Jack. I'm sorry but no. I promised to be out by 10 minutes and it's been nearly 20. Good-bye Jack, I love you," Elizabeth whispered softly, tears dripping down her face. She then kissed him gently on the lips and walked out of the room. Leaving Jack staring at her and amazed.
Elizabeth then quickly strode up the stairs and off the boat leaving Ana- Maria staring somewhat smirkily. Ann then strode up to her and whispered, " Miss Swann, What are we doing here? At least I should know that! I've been standing on this dock for at least half an hour and you father will be furious!"
"Don't be such a worry. We'll be home soon." And with one glance at the Black Pearl, Elizabeth was gone.
