Chapter 6
A few days later Clara had officially moved in. much to my dismay. Oh how I hated this woman. I couldn't help feeling that I'd seen her before though, she looked oddly familiar but I couldn't place her. She seemed to enjoy the fact that I was annoyed by her being here because where ever I was and who ever I was talking to, she always found a reason to find me and but in. but no one else could see that. Apart from Oliver, he agreed with me and had told Will and Bill and anyone else he could about Clara, he told them she was untrustworthy, he had warned them, I had done the same to Elizabeth and Anamaria. Even when Elizabeth and Anamaria had gone wandering in Tortuga, I told the twins, Lily and Jack, not to trust her and to cry and scream whenever Clara held them.
What was strange was that Dad was also oblivious to the situation, usually girls would be out quicker than a blink of an eye if I doubted them, but Dad refused to see Clara how I did and he even shouted at me before when I tried to tell him.
"You ok Lily?" asked Oliver from behind me. I was stood at the rail of the ship, looking at the Star Maker.
"Yes I'm fine" I replied, I turned around to face him and wrapped my arms around his neck. We looked into each other's eyes and knew that we were both thinking the same thing.
"I want to push her overboard" I said.
"Well we are a long way from Tortuga so she'd drown if you pushed her over now"
"Is that a bad thing?" I asked innocently.
"I don't think so" replied Oliver, I gave him a kiss.
"I think I know her from somewhere Oliver" I said, "but I don't know where, it's like I should know her, and that she's here for a reason, but I don't know that reason, I just think it's bad" I explained.
"You hate her that much don't you?" said Oliver. I heard Lily crying from Elizabeth's cabin. I looked for Elizabeth or Will, but they were sharing some alone time with each other in the crow's nest, they did need it after all.
"I'll get her!" I called up; evidently they didn't hear me because they didn't look down.
I went into the cabin leaving Oliver to go back to the Star Maker. When I reached Lily she had stopped crying.
"Oh Lily, are you ok today? Your brother's still asleep you know, what are men like eh?" I cooed. I could have sworn she had given me a smile at this. She gripped my hand as I took her out on deck. I looked at her closer. She had developed more hair, which was turning out to be a honey coloured brown, just like her mother's and she had the same deep brown eyes as Will and Jack, oddly enough they were just like Oliver's as well.
I could tell she had her father's determination and her mother's spirit, but she also reminded me of me. The way that she made herself heard ad if she wanted something, she'd get it, she was the noisier on of the two twins.
Jack on the other hand had his father's dark brown hair and eyes, but he had his mother's look about him. He was patient and waited for people to come to him when he awoke, he only cried if he was hungry or for a reason that he needed to cry about. He was laid back and cheerful. I could tell he would be a clever lad, just like my father, I think Jack would develop Dad's personality as they spent more time together. But Dad rarely had time for the twins or his friends or even for me any more, he was too immersed with Clara.
"Remember what I said to you when I was drunk on our wedding night?" said Oliver, he made me jump as he had just popped up, seemingly from no where.
"Yes" I said cautiously, was I about to get a confession of some sort?
"Well I stand by what I said" Oliver replied.
"Oh really" I said, I shuffled Lily about so she was more comfortable in my arms. I walked over to the rail of the ship, knowing Oliver would follow.
"yes, really, but I don't want us to rush into things mind, I just thought by the way you were with Jack and Lily that you were good at it, and it got me thinking" he explained.
"No, we're not rushing into it, but when it happens it happens and I'll treat that moment with a blessing and I won't have any regrets"
"No, no regrets what so ever"
"Good" I said.
We were disturbed by Clara coming out of Elizabeth and Will's cabin with Jack, she was bouncing him in her arms so much I thought he'd be sick.
"Oh aren't you just so cute! I wonder where your mother is, and where's you sister, she's cute too just like you, oh yes she is!" Clara was saying to Jack.
I hastily thrust Lily into Oliver's arms and practically ran across the deck of the ship.
"Hello Lily" Clara greeted me, her tone was annoyed. I didn't even speak to her; I just grabbed her arms and tilted them towards me so that Jack would slip down her arms and into mine.
"Thank you" I said before turning and going back to Oliver. I could feel Clara's eyes burning into the back of my head. If looks could kill I would have keeled over by now. I listened to Clara's footsteps go up to the helm where Dad was.
"Lily!" gasped Oliver as he saw what I did.
"What" I snapped. "Would you want her drooling all over him?" Oliver shook his head "I didn't think so" I said. "Give me Lily and I'll go and give them to Will and Elizabeth"
Oliver did as he was told and slipped Lily securely into my other arm. I walked over to Will and Elizabeth who were now at the helm talking to Dad and Clara.
"I think these belong to you" I said, I gave Lily to Elizabeth and Jack to Will.
"Thank you Lily" said Elizabeth "we didn't hear them wake up" she said.
"You were in the crow's nest; I didn't want to disturb you so I looked after Lily for a while, then Clara got Jack, so I took him off her hands and brought them to you" I explained.
"Literally" muttered Clara, referring to taking Jack off her hands.
"Something wrong Clara?" I asked shortly. Dad looked at me with warning in his eyes.
"No" said Clara, she wrapped her arm around Dad and looked up at him, she smiled at him and he gave her a kiss. Fearing I'd be sick, I went to find Oliver again.
"oh she's going to pay" I promised myself as I swung over to the Star Maker.
