It was really difficult to get through the crowds of people in the town square where you were walking around in. Women were either gawking at the windows of the rich, fancy shops or walking and chatting with a friend or stranger. Cabbies were riding up and down the streets. Men were sitting down and talking to their other male companions . Children were chasing each other around playing games and screaming.
This made you miss your crew more. They acted like such children sometimes and it was so much fun being in their company because Port Royal acted more like a prison for you than a home.
As you were thinking profoundly, Elizabeth made you snap out of it and announced that you were home.
"All righty then, you go pack your belongings and I'll talk to dad." Elizabeth didn't even try to stop you or wish you luck, she just ran up the grand masonry stairs and down the narrow hallway into her room.
You made your way down to the corridor with the paintings of your former ancestors and went into Weatherby's office.
"Good afternoon father." you greeted him.
"Oh no need for such a formal greet, come in..sit" he pulled out a chair for you to sit on.
You didn't sit down but instead sat your father down."This won't take long. I have some rather good news, but I'm not sure how well you'll take it." you took the letter out of your purse and showed it to him.
"Dear Governor Swann,
For the past three years I have been thinking of your youngest daughter. I love her and I write this letter to you now to allow me the pleasure of making her my bride. I am unable to go to Port Royal personally because of work I have pending, but if you would allow her to travel here to Anvil, I will pay whatever it costs to bring her here and soon afterward send for you and Elizabeth. But I am sure that Sandra will want her sister to accompany her first. I shall be waiting for her or a letter informing me otherwise.
Sincerely,
Henry DeVois
"I...I don't know what to say...uh...yes! I will send you to him immediately! There is no time to waste!"Weatherby stood right up and gave you a bag of gold coins. "Use this to travel there and for anything else you might need. I never thought this day would come!"
"...thanks dad, you're incredibly supportive..."you mumbled and took the bag.
"Tell your sister, and pack your things...hurry! What are you still doing here!" you giggled and gave him a big hug.
"Thank you dad, I'll make you proud!" you ran out of there, up the stairs and through the small hallway down to your room at the far end of the mansion.
"Haha, it worked!" you said while running past Elizabeth's bedroom.
"Come on hurry up, it's almost night." Elizabeth was filling up her case with all sorts of dresses.
"No need, my loyal crew had given me one black case full of clothes and shoes, and a bag of jewelry before I left them. It was our last big heist." into your closet you went and pulled those chests out. "I'm done!"
"What about dresses? Aren't you going to be uncomfortable wearing men's pants?" Elizabeth gave you a curious look.
"Nah, it'll be like the old days again. This is going to be so much fun! But just in case let me take another case with a couple of dresses."
You were all packed up and ready to go. Weatherby had accompanied you to the dock and left happily.
The sea waves looked even more beautiful at night and the beach looked so lonely and cold.
"Ok they should be here by now...come on you guys...it's freezing!" Elizabeth kept whining.
THUD
"They're here...there's Will and look at the tree." you pointed out to Elizabeth.
"A tree?...ohhh...that tree. Jack truly is a master of disguise." She scoffed at the sight of a small tree moving towards them.
"Psst, hurry up pass me your belongings." Will was now in front of the both of you picking up your suitcases.
"Did you bring your whole wardrobe?" Will asked Elizabeth.
"No just half of it." Elizabeth replied with a smirk.
"Over here! If you can't see me...I'm behind the yellow tree!" Jack peeped out fro behind his tree and motioned everyone to follow him.
You were carrying your own luggage and Will was carrying Elizabeth's. Jack was walking fast and occasionally looking back to see if you were up to speed.
"Come on lads, hurry it up. Put your backs into it...come on!...ah...we're here! GIBBS GET THE BLOODY BOAT DOWN HERE!" Jack's crew was now running about in the ship trying to get the boat down to them as soon as possible.
"...wow...the Black Pearl...it's beautiful..." you let out a minor gasp at the sight of the dark beauty in front of you.
"Ain't she, the captain's not bad either ya know?" he winked and clicked his tongue at you.
"Play nice Mr. Sparrow, I wouldn't want to have to hurt you in any way...yet." you responded.
Soon the boat had landed in front of the group and everyone got in along with the luggage and such. As soon as you got to the deck everyone had gathered around to see the new passengers. Everyone knew Will and Elizabeth now, but you were still a stranger.
"Welcome to the Black Pearl, lovelies." Jack announced as you looked at all the unfamiliar faces.
