Chapter Seven: A Promise Made!
I swam ashore and went straight for the house, hopping someone would be there, so I could send them after Lizzy.
First, I changed into my light gown. It had two layers instead of four or such, one that didn't need a corset. It was a light blue one. I am very fond of blue as you may tell. The sleeves of the dress went a little over my shoulders, not being much. The gown was a thin one but not too thin, and with my shift on, it wasn't even near thick. I slipped on my shoes that matched it, which weren't high heels. I clipped the front part of my hair back, and then headed to the fort. Where I knew father would be.
When I got there, I saw William walk in. I stopped to see what he would do.
"They've taken her. They've taken Elizabeth and Shyla." Will said.
I smiled; it was nice that he was concerned for me and my sister. I saw Norrington studying a map. Looked like he didn't care at all. He actually looked quit like a pale pig wiggery man.
"Mr. Murtogg, remove this man." Norrington said.
I rolled my eyes. Before I could do anything William threw the axe down into the table. Norrington looked at him. I gasped and slightly jumped back at his action.
"We have to hunt them down. We must save them." Will said. I smirked.
"And where do you propose we start? If you have any information concerning my daughters, please share it." my father said with such worry, it made me gasp. I then smiled.
"That Jack Sparrow. He talked about the Black Pearl." Murtogg said. I blinked, and remembered he did.
"Mentioned it is more what he did." a man said, who he is, I've no idea.
"Ask him where it is. Make a deal with him. He could lead us to it." William said.
"No. The pirates who invaded this fort left Sparrow locked in his cell; ergo they are not his allies. Governor we will establish their most likely course." Norrington said.
"That's not good enough!" Will shouted. It made me jump a little. I wouldn't like to piss dear William off… Norrington took William to the side, near me.
"Mr. Turner, you are not a military man. You are not a sailor. You are a blacksmith. And this is not the moment for rash actions. Do not make the mistake of thinking you are the only man here who cares for Elizabeth." Norrington, said, but whispered the last part.
Then, I walked out.
"Father, I agree with William." I said. Everyone looked at me.
"The only way you would be able to find them is with Sparrow's help. He did mention the Black Pearl. He even mentioned it in front of me." I said. Father smiled, and then frowned.
"Go to the house, we will discuss this later." he said. I shook my head and took Will by the arm.
"Fine, William, you may walk me." I said, and we both left. I wasn't going to just set around while they done nothing what-so-ever! That wasn't who I am, not at the least.
Once I thought and knew it was safe enough, I lead William to the dungeon.
"You're right, Will. We need his help. And don't think for one moment it's dangerous for me. I will not allow you to leave with out me, and you should know as much as I do." I said. He nodded.
"Yes, Shyla, I do know. But I can't allow you to get hurt. Elizabeth would never forgive me if you did." he said. I stopped and looked at him.
"I promised her, I would go back to the Pearl last night. I promised her I would return with someone to get her off that forsaken ship. Will, I didn't go through with that promise. I didn't have time. Now, please, don't make me break another to her. I would never forgive you, if you have done so. And don't worry about me; you and Jack will be able to protect me if things were to go wrong." I said. He nodded.
"Alright, I won't let anything happen to you, nor Elizabeth. I promise." he said. I smiled.
"Ok, let's go get Jack free. We do need him after all." I said and turned running down to Jack's cell. A smile setting slightly on my face.
