PIECES AND PRESUMES

I smiled and shook her hand.

"I'm--- Giselle Smith." The first name was that of my mothers and the last name just came to me. From where or why I know not, but name it was, and name I needed.

"The pleasure is all mine I'm sure?" She sounded very well brought up to be a blacksmiths wife. Oh well.

"I do hope so!" We talked and she told me that her husband, Will, was out, and that he should return shortly. We talked of dress fashions (I faked my way along) and about gold (and to my amusement) the terribleness of pirates. I looked around, and she told me how she and her husband had met, after I asked about how well brought up she seemed. I was informed that she was at one time the governors daughter. After complications, they were finally allowed to be together.

"OH, that's lovely!" I said in an overly sappy voice. There was a noise from the door, it opened to expose a tall man not so much older then Elizabeth or I. So this was Will.

He moved into the dim light of the forage, and out of the blinding brightness of the noontime day.

I stopped. Why was he so familiar?

"You look somewhat familiar, have a threatened you before?" I couldn't help myself! I just came out. I don't know where from but it did! Of course I'd threatened many people before, and I was sure he wasn't one of them, but still, WHERE had THAT come from?

These words seemed to have great impact on him and not only me. Was he perhaps asked by many if they ever had threatened him?

He took a step closer as thought to check MY face. Time to right my wrong, time for quick thinking.

"Well, I mean of course when I say threatened, I of course, mean- threatened to take all of your swords, and leave a heap of gold!" I stumbled my way over to one of the gleaming blades, "Look at this workmanship! Amazing, truly it is." Did I sound fake? I'm not sure, they gave me a strange look, but let it pass.

We talked for about and hour. Our topic was swords, and how unfortunate that "my brother" was sick of could not come to pick his own. And how lucky it was that we are exactly the same size and comfort.

Then I found one I liked, and we joked about how I'd have to borrow it, and practice with those fencing skills I "didn't" have.

I thought I was ahead. Never think. It screws up all plans.

Of course, the appropriate thing to do when you are buying something is pay, also something I wasn't used to doing. Pirate.

It never accrued to me, I mightn't be the only one to recognize the gold. Bad Ovashing.

The moment I laid the gold pieces on the counter I knew I had blew it. How both Elizabeth and Will knew the gold, or how they then moved to fast, I'll never know. I had blown it.

Elizabeth dashed and barred the door. Will lunged for me and held me down. Elizabeth grabbed Rope and a chair. With in three seconds flat, I was roped to a chair and gadded, Will left after a while, and returned with my trunk, he told Elizabeth that he had found it in an abandoned carriage. Looked like and animal had been their for a while, but it was gone now. Jack...

They dumped out the chest to find almost all the other gold pieces, the new clothes, and the old clothes. All the pieces must have ruled out the concept that I had stumbled across a few stray pieces... I had it all.

Their next move was to wait till night fall, and the exposed me to moonlight. I wasn't cursed.

When all that failed they tried to ask me how I got the treasure, and why I wasn't cursed. I spat at them.

Three hours later, Will told Elizabeth to send a bird (messenger I'm expecting) to someone. She was informed that it was urgent and he must come quick.

Who was he?
