Chapter Six: The Medallion!
"I'll drop it!" she said. Holding the medallion over the edge of the ship…I shook my head a little…this was stupid.
"Me holds are bursting with swag. That bit o' shine matters to us? Why?" he asked her, looking like he was bluffing to me.
I just watched. There to me, was something familiar about this ship. Like I've seen it before, but I couldn't place it at all.
"It's what you've been searching for. I recognize this ship. I saw it eight years ago on the crossing from England." she said.
I gasped, that's where…in the unnatural fog as Gibbs had called it.
"No wonder." I said to myself. No one heard me.
It was the ship we saw when we found William Turner. The real true owner of the necklace. Lizzie took it 'cause she didn't want him to die, although I didn't think he would have gotten into trouble about it. He was just a lad when we found him, couldn't have done anything wrong.
"Did you, now?" he asked. He acted now as though he didn't care about the necklace.
"Fine, I suppose if it is worthless, there's no point in me keeping it." she said and let it drop a little, but not completely out of her hand.
They rushed about a step up and stopped, seeing that she didn't let it fall all the way. She made a face that told them, she knew what she knew.
"You have a name, Missy?" he asked her.
I just stood there. I felt as though I was forgotten about, which then I thought about a way of escape. I walked over beside my sister and just stood there waiting to see if they remembered I was there or not.
"Elizabeth…Turner. I'm a maid in the governor's household." she said. I looked at her, and she gave me a look that said, hush. I nodded.
"What about ye, miss. What's your name?" he asked. I looked at him.
"Miss Swann, Shyla Swann. I'm nothing important." I said, looking at him like I was bored.
"And, Miss Swann, what's ye story?" he asked. I looked at him and then the two who brought me. I blinked and got a little angry, but not showing it
"I've no story to sell. But the truth, those two men brought me against my will. I just wanted to stay ashore and they brought me. If it's not too much trouble, may I leave?" I asked. He smiled, and then laughed.
"We'll see. Now, how does a maid own a trinket such as that? Family heirloom, perhaps?" he asked.
"I didn't steal it, if that's what you mean." she said. I smirked.
She lied; she took that from William when he was 11 years of age, the day we found him in the waters on the crossing form England as she said.
I closed my eyes for a spilt moment, she wanted to save his life, that was a good thing, but this wasn't…she shouldn't have taken that thing
"Very well, ye hand it over. We'll put yer town to our rudder and ne'er return." Barbossa said as she handed the trinket to him. I gasped.
"Am I able to leave or not?" I asked, he looked at me and gave a short smile.
"How will ye be leaving miss?" he asked me. I blinked and gasped.
"A boat of course… I've nothing of importance to you."
"Aye, that ye don't. But, we have no bargain of going to shore." he said.
I gasped and blinked. Hey, I could swim…I was better then Lizzy at swimming, anyways
"Fine, then I'll jump." I said.
I looked at Elizabeth, she shook her head. She wanted them to take her ashore. I hugged her for a moment then let go.
"Be careful, Lizzie. I'll have someone come for you. I promise." I whispered into her ear. She nodded.
"Be careful, Miss Swann." she said, and I jumped into the warm waters below.
