Chapter Six
The Storm
It had all started when the sunset was never seen that night...the skies were to greatly dark and clouded to see the beautiful Caribbean sunset..
The rain started, but it wasn't anything yet that could not be handled, it was just the overnight rain that they got once in a while...but then the winds came.
Howling, beastly winds, like they were from Hell itself...they destroyed everything in their pathes...
In the twilight, it all happened...
Will's burn was better now, and he was working on a sword with Adrian..
The sound of a carriage rolling by on the cobblestones rang through the shoppe, nothing new to Will...but Adrian ran to the small, glassless window, peering out,
" Its Governor Swann !"
" That's nice..."
Whether Will even heard Adrian or not was another question...The walls rattled and shook, like a monster clutched it in its claws and shook it violently...Adrian hurried back from the window, running behind Will...After all , he was only a little boy, and the noise still scared him...
" Its just the wind, Adrian , I'm sure it shall pass soon.."
But it didn't , and the rain became heavier, much , much heavier...
Will was just about to leave and take Adrian home, they had just stepped out the door, when they heard the sound of rushing water...looking to the side, Will saw a great wall of water coming...
" Mr. Turner !"
Adrian was clearly very alarmed...with no time to think , Will picked the boy up and ran , finding a tree very close by he forced Adrian to climb high, following, the water licked at his heels...
Will watched as the water kept going, it over took the Governor's carriage...
The horses stumbled and fell into the churning waters. drowning , as the carriage itself turned over...The driver was crushed by the wall of heavy water...A small scream, that of a woman, was heard as the carriage crashed to ground. The wall of water quickly swept over the fallen carriage. Something floated up out of the window; It was large, and grayish, looking much like a dead rodent. The "dead rodent" floated down the water's course.
A small yappy dog, that was standing on a floating barrel, barked as the thing floated by.
The water that washed over the carriage seemed to recede back to sea as a circle in the clouds formed; The wind becoming calm for the next few hour. It was now obvious that this was a hurricane, and the circle in the clouds was the eye.
As the water receded the carriage came into view, there was an arm sticking out of the bottom of it...
Will got out of the tree and ran to the carriage...with some well placed leverage, he moved the carriage just enough to see who the arm belonged to...Governor Weatherby Swann...
"Oh god no.."
Will's mind was racing...what could he tell Elizabeth ? he couldn't just walk up and say " Hey , oh , and by the way, you're father is dead"...but soon his thoughts were interupted...when Governor Swann stirred slightly...he wasn't dead , thank god.
But then Will looked around him, where once were houses, there were heaps of debris and around him lay a few others...but unlike Governor Swann, they were dead...
There was a woman , or rather, a woman's body , lying not far off, Will stood up and walked to her, turning her over...he gasped, for it was Lisette Brown...Adrian's mother...
