Chapter Three: The Letter
Two weeks later, the mail arrived at the Roland's house. Juliet was sitting outside when it just happened to come.
"Ah, Miss Roland. Here is your mail for the month," the mailman said. Juliet smiled and raced over to the mailman.
"Thank you so much," she said. She went through the huge lump of letters and pulled out an envelope with familiar handwriting on it. She looked around and hid it in the pocket in her dress.
"Mother, the mail is here," she said handing her mother the mail.
"Thank you Juliet," Mrs. Roland replied. Juliet raced up the stairs and into her room. She locked her bedroom door and sat at her table. She ripped open the envelope and pulled out the letter. Her eyes scanned across the paper.
'Dearest Juliet,
You do not know how much I miss you. I'm in Tortuga awaiting your response. I got Jack into letting us stay until your letter gets here. Please write me back love and let me know when the wedding is so I can come find you. I promise, Jack and me have a wonderful plan on how to get you. I'm sure it will turn a few heads, no doubt upset your father. Not that it matters. I'm staying at the Tortuga Inn, so give me a write. I love you with all my heart. Oh, Jack wants to say hello before he goes to bed.
Hello Jules! Hope you're holding up okay! We all miss you very much. Just can't wait for you to join us on the Pearl. Well I'm off to bed, I'm going to honor a toast to you tomorrow night. Love you.
Jack
Alright, as you can see he's drunk already. Don't worry about anything. If anyone hurts you please let me know. I will see you soon.
Will'
Juliet smiled and placed the letter back in the envelope. She pulled out a quill and paper and started writing to Will.
"Look Will, I know you want to wait for Jules. But the sea is callin' my name. I need to leave!" Jack explained.
"Please Jack! Just wait a couple more days, she'll reply and even if she doesn't we'll go back to Port Royal and save her anyway," Will explained.
"This girl's really got a hold on you don't she?" Jack asked.
"You have no idea," Will explained. They continued walking down the street to the tavern.
"Look, why don't you just find a woman here?" Jack asked.
Will looked around at all the prostitutes walking around. "Uh, Jack I don't think I want to get into a relationship with these kinds of girls."
"Suit yourself," Jack replied as they walked into the tavern. They walked up to the bar. "Excuse me, give me two pints please," Jack replied tapping the bar. The bartender turned. It was a girl who gave Jack a look. Will got a feeling of déjà vu.
"Cassandra," Jack said uneasily. Cassandra slapped him. Jack looked at Will.
"And what did you deserve that one for?" Will asked.
"I don't really recall," Jack said back. He turned to look at Cassandra. "I thought you were in St. Isaac?"
"I was Jack, but I left. You said you'd come back for me but you didn't!" Cassandra yelled in an Irish accent.
"Sorry, but things happened," Jack said smiling meekly.
"Like what?" Cassandra asked.
"I was broke the curse of the Isla de Muerta, I was marooned" Jack started.
"You were marooned before we met," Cassandra replied.
"Believe me love, I was marooned again," Jack replied.
"But you left me five years ago Jack," Cassandra replied.
"I know. Two pints please Cass," Jack replied.
"Fine, but I'm poisonin' yours," Cassandra shot back. She started pouring the drinks.
"Is she serious?" Will asked.
"Trust me mate, she ain't kidding," Jack replied. He smiled when she came back.
"So who's your friend?" Cassandra asked.
"I'm Will Turner," Will said sticking his hand out.
"Nice to meet you. Cassandra McQuinn. You wouldn't be the son of Bootstrap Bill would ya?" she asked.
"Yes, I am. Does everyone know my father?" Will asked jokingly.
"Of course. But I've only heard stories. So whatcha hanging out with this pirate for?" Cassandra asked.
"Well, it's a long story," Will replied.
"I got the time," Cassandra replied. They told Cassandra the whole story about the curse and Juliet.
Two weeks later, Jack was harping on leaving again. Will on the other hand hadn't heard from Juliet yet.
"Will this is the last straw. I need to leave!" Jack yelled.
"No, not without a reply from Juliet!" Will yelled back. Cassandra was joining them, since Jack had rekindled the relationship with her.
"Will, I know you love her but come on. She ain't writing back!" Jack explained. Will sighed. "I know it's hard to believe but her father has this hold on her that she can't get rid of."
"I know and I have this gut feeling that you're right," Will said. They sat in silence when they heard a knock on the door. Jack opened the door and found a girl standing there.
"Yes?" Jack asked.
"I have a note for Mr. Turner," she said holding the envelope out. Will stood and took the letter from her.
"Thank you," he said. The girl nodded and walked away. Jack closed the door and stood in front of Will.
"Well, read it mate!" Jack pushed. Will smiled and ripped open the envelope. "Out loud!"
"Okay. 'Dearest Will, You do not know how much I have missed you as well. I hope you get this and it doesn't get lost or something. My father has put a stronger hold on me and has an escort for me for wherever I go. I have the information you needed from me. I am getting married on June 14 on the Dauntless. Judge Reynolds thought that would be the suitable place to get married. Tell Jack I said hello. I love you so much and I hope to see you again soon. Oh, I have to tell you something too. I tried to escape. I tried to commandeer the Journey about two weeks ago. Norrington caught me and he threatened to kill me. He has no feelings for me, he wants to kill me to kill you and Jack. When you come to save me, watch out and keep a sharp eye. I love you so much and I can't wait to see you. Juliet.'"
Will looked up at Jack from where he was sitting.
"So what do you say?" Jack asked waiting for an answer.
"We have a girl to save Jack!" Will said. They picked up their stuff and raced to the docks to sail home.
