Chapter Three

I stood in silence for a while and then I heard a voice speak again, this time a recognized it, it was Elizabeth, "What did you hear?"

"It was probably nothing, like we were saying–" this time it was Will talking.

"No." now it was the voice I didn't recognize again, the one who must have heard me before. "It was something..."

"Jack–" Elizabeth again, "No one's awake at this hour, you probably heard the wind or –" thump.

I had picked the wrong time to move my foot. I was beginning to loose feeling in it, and I had to move it, but unfortunately for me, I moved it just enough to make me loose my balance and land softly on my back. Terrified of what I had just done I started to raise and got ready to run back up the stairs to my room and lock the door, but it seemed my luck wasn't very helpful, and I painfully realized that my foot was now beginning to regain its previously lost feeling.

I attempted to get to my feet, but gasped as a streak of pain sped up my leg and realized I would have to stay on the ground until my foot had fully regained its feeling. I heard footsteps from the room next to me and realized that they, Elizabeth, Will and the other person, Jack, was coming to see what made the noise. I looked around frantically, looking for somewhere, anywhere, to hide. I realized quickly enough, I was trapped. I swallowed hard as if to swallow down the pain in my leg, that wasn't showing any signs of subsiding, and tried once again to raise myself to a standing position, and, once again, I failed to do so, so I was stuck sitting on the floor while I waited for someone to find me, guilty of my eavesdropping, even though I hadn't heard a thing.

I held my glance steady on the door, until door swung open and light flooded over the small area of darkness, I turned my head from the light, my eyes still used to the darkness. My body was warm all over, I was covered in sweat, and I could feel my necklace's coolness through my robe and nightdress.

I heard someone walk towards me and I carefully looked up at the figure. I could only see the profile, and from that alone, I knew this was neither Will or Elizabeth. As my eyes slowly adjusted, I could see who this person was.

The man was a pirate, I didn't know how I could tell so soon, but as soon as I saw him, I knew. His clothes were loose and at his side, his hand was on the hilt of a sword and I could clearly see pistol on his other side. My eyes widened at those, and then I slowly raised my gaze to his face. He had black hair that went past his shoulders, with beads and all sorts of trinkets tied into it in various places, and a maroon head piece around his head with even more trinkets. His eyes were dark brown, with kohl around them. And he was wearing an expression of surprise with a noticeable touch of amusement, with his eyes wide and a grin slowly emerging. He didn't say anything, but I was sure this was who the 'Jack' was that Elizabeth was addressing not to long before.

I stared at the man and watched his grin grow and his hand drop from the sword. I couldn't say anything, for my mouth had gone dry, I could only feel my mouth hanging slightly open. I turned my gaze from the man as Elizabeth and Will appeared at his side. I bit my lower lip and looked away from them, still extremely embarrassed, and the fact that the man was still looking at me didn't help me at all.

"Jane?" I heard Elizabeth ask. My mouth was still dry, so I could only manage to nod.

I attempted to rise to my feet, but the moment I tried I fell onto my back again, and I could see the man's grin fully emerge out of the corner of my eye as I did this, and I felt my cheeks turn red, not sure if anyone could see in the darkness. I looked up at Elizabeth, ready to see a look of anger glaring down at me and was shocked to find she, too, was smiling, the same was with Will, none of them seemed to be upset by my apparent eavesdropping, but on the contrary, they all seemed rather amused. I looked away from them, unsure of what to think.

After what seems like an eternity, but what must have been only a few moments, I felt a hand on my left shoulder. I look up to find myself staring into chocolate brown eyes rimmed with kohl. I breathed in sharply and moved slightly back wards, uncomfortable with being so close to a man that you really haven't really met properly yet, let alone a pirate. Jack smiled again, "You alright, luv?" I nodded, still unable to speak. Still smiling, Jack rose to his feet and offers a hand to help me up. I stared at his hand for a moment, unsure of what to do. Finally, I took it, not wanting to risk humiliation if I fell again on my own.

As soon as I was on my feet I felt the same pain travel down my leg again and I would have fallen, if Jack hadn't caught me by the arms. I pulled away and muttered a "Thank you".

Jack smiled and said "Not to worry, luv." I gave him a weird look, he had called me 'luv' twice now. He smirked at the look I gave him, and I turned to Elizabeth and Will.

"Sorry." I said quietly as I looked up at the two of them.

"Its alright." Elizabeth said and smiled again. "What did you hear?"

"Nothing." I answered truthfully. I saw Jack raise his eyebrows out of the corner of my eye.

"Alright." Will said and I smiled slightly, thankful that they believed me.

"Would you like to join us, Jane?" Elizabeth asked.

"I don't want to be a bother." I said quietly.

"After this," Jack said, "I don't think you could be much more of a bother." I turned my head slightly and stared angrily at him.

Will smiled and said "You're already down here, so you might as well, and nothing in this conversation will really hurt you anyways."

I looked to Elizabeth and she nodded. "Alright." I said, and I followed Will and Elizabeth into the room while Jack followed right behind me.

OK I hope I didn't let anyone down, I'll try and get the next chapter up as soon as possible. I also have 2 other stories so I just end up writing them when ideas come to me.
