Chapter 9

The next morning Jack was outside of the Revick house hiding behind a tree. He woke Will up and kept a steady eye on the house.

"Are you still waiting for her to leave the house" asked Will.

"Aye, mate." Jack replied, focused on the gate in front of the house.

"What if she doesn't come out?" Will asked.

"Then I go in, William Turner" Jack stated. "But that's illegal Jack! You'll be arrested!" Will tried telling Jack.

"Pirate. Will I AM A PIRATE. Not just a normal human being. I go against rules all the time, righ' mate?" Jack gave him a mean look.

"Yes, Jack." Will shut up.

Victoria woke up, when someone knocked at her door. She scrambled for her cover up.

"You may enter!" she sat on her bed.

"Good morning Miss." Said her maid Marianna, as she walked in.

"Marianna! You have come back!" Victoria hugged her. Marianna had been gone for a long time due to fatal illness. "I am so glad that you are better!" Victoria told her.

"It is wonderful to see you Miss. Revick!" Marianna replied. "What has happened since I left?" she asked. Victoria then told her all about her dream and about the kiss and the strange but familiar man she had met just the night before. But she was interrupted by another knock at the door. Marianna answered it.

"Mr. Revick, come on in." said Marianna.

"Good morning Marianna!" he nodded, "Good morning to you as well sweetheart! Marianna if I could just have a word with Victoria in private." He said.

"Of course Sir." She agreed. "Thank you" he replied. He paused and waited till the door shut behind her. "So father, what did you want to tell me?" she asked, for some reason she felt nervous.

"I just wanted to say I'm sorry about what happened yesterday. Having to take you away from Ben like that. I just don't trust those pirates around a pretty girl like you. I only care about you darling." He explained. Victoria was confused. "But father, I am always in town! There are always pirates there. I don't understand what the problem is." She told him.

"Well, these are ones I don't recognize, so you never know." Mr. Revick lied. "Okay, its quite alright father. I am not mad at all!" she smiled, feeling a bit suspicious. "Good then, I'm glad things are alright!" he kissed her forehead. "See you at lunch" he said. Victoria nodded, watching him leave the room. 'This is starting to make sense to me, father didn't want me to meet Jack Sparrow I know it! Maybe they know each other.'
