Chapter 19:

In his room at the Jamestown fort, John quickly put on the wig that he had
brought over from England. After brushing the dark hair of the wig, John
straightened his clothes and walked outside. As he glanced around, John
saw that all the people that had been standing around were no longer there.
Sighing, he was just about to turn and go back inside when a large hand
grasped his shoulder. Whirling, John stared at Ratcliff, reminding himself
not to act brash.
"Who are you boy?"
Ratcliff inquired, releasing the other man's shoulder and stepping back in
to the shadows.
"My name is William sir," he replied.
"William, William, that's a good strong name you have."
Ratcliff said, stepping closer which made John or, William back up.
"How long have you been here?"
"A couple months, about three."
John Replied as he turned once again to go inside;
"I didn't say you could leave," Ratcliff said as he glared at him.
"Yes sir?"
John answered, turning to face the man;
"I'm the new governor now, my name is John Ratcliff, I want to ask you some
questions. Before you ask, this can not wait until morning, if you'll
follow me we will talk in my new office."
Ratcliff finished with a smug look upon his face as John followed
obediently behind.
Once inside the room, Ratcliff pointed to a bench and John sat, wondering
what was going to happen.
"I know that your name is William, you have a last one?"
"Smith," John answered after a few seconds pause, knowing that Smith was a
very common name in London;
"Now for those questions William Smith."
The man leaned forward, looking John straight in the eye as he cleared his
throat and asked, "do you know a female savage by the name of Pocahontas?"
"Everyone has heard of her," John began as Ratcliff cut him off, "I did not
ask if you heard of her, do you know her?"
"No Sir."
"Hmmm..."
Ratcliff continued, "and I suppose that you don't know of a man by the name
of John Smith?"
"There's no one here with that name sir."
"You lyer, I know that a man named John Smith lurks in the walls of this
settlement, trouble is I can't find him. He is wanted by his majesty for
treason."
John chuckled at this, "poor man, no wonder he'd leave England."
"What about the savage woman?"
At this saying, John had to stop himself from harshly correcting the new
governor, "I've never met her."
"Hmmm," Ratcliff murmured, "leave."
John stood and walked out of the office, anger mixed with fear flowing
through his veins as he did so. Anger at Ratcliff coming and killing
Samuel, and fear for his beloved's safety from the man who was clearly mad.
As Smith neared the fort that housed his room, a soft voice to his left
caught his attention. Stopping and listening again, John knew instantly
who the whispered voice belonged to.
"Pocahontas?"
He replied as soft as the summer breeze that blew around them;
"Come."
It was a simple command that he quickly followed as he silently walked
outside the walls of the main fort. He followed her until they came to a
dense part of the forest where the leaves were thick and the darkness that
the late night provided covered them like a black blanket.
"What is it?"
He asked, keeping his voice low.
"Come to my village, my father is with me, he knows John, Ratcliff knows
you're here."
"No, I've met him, or William met him."
A moment of silence came after his statement, "he saw you?"
"Yes Pocahontas, I fooled him."
"John please, stay at my village, you will be safe from harm."
Pocahontas urged;
"Yes my brother, my daughter speaks the truth."
Powhatan's voice reached John's ears as he listened to the words the old
chief spoke;
After a few moments of thought, John finally replied, "I will stay at your
village, I do not want to impose however."
"John," Pocahontas as in a flash she was beside him, "we help each other
out, you are not imposing."
He smiled as she took his hand and lead him back to her village, Powhatan
following from behind.
