And the animal was only a shadow as it was coming right at him...
"Will, time to wake up."
Will had the worst headache in the world. He blearily opened his eyes and looked at Bill and Jack. The two older men left him there to get out of the bed on his own.
"You let him drink, why?" Bill asked.
"Well, he was pretty upset last night; I thought it would do him a world of good. You have no idea how much he had to say."
"Kind of like you then."
"What's that supposed to mean."
"The two or three or ten times we got drunk together, you always sprouted some sort of nonsense that would always have something to do with your sister or something to do with her."
Jack stared at him before he began to answer slowly. "Funny thing that."
He opened his mouth to mention Emma when Will came out.
"Come on, let's get to the healer and cure that hangover of yours. What were you saying Jack?"
"Later."
Bill shrugged and they began to walk away.
Elizabeth's head and whole body felt like they were on fire. What had exactly happened yesterday? The last thing she remembered was being in the forest with that Hope woman. How exactly had she gotten back here anyway! What was going on?
Her door opened and there stood Isabella again. "Come on, you've got a lot to do today."
Elizabeth got up and went out the door with her. Instead of going into the forest (which she was sure that Isabella would have loved) she brought her to another hut.
"Today you'll learn," she said and left her in the capable hands of another woman.
Were there no men at all on this island! She just left her there and Elizabeth was given a look that said for her to sit on the floor. She did and the woman babbled a bunch of facts and figures about the world as if she knew everything that came before her time.
"Any questions," she asked.
Elizabeth shook her head and the woman said she could leave. Elizabeth only got as far as outside the hut when she began to feel dizzy again. She went over to the nearest tree and held onto it with all of her might before she blacked out once again.
While Will was drinking something that was gray, Jack and Bill went back to talking.
"What were you going to say earlier?"
Jack sighed before telling him everything. From the diary to the fact that she was still alive.
"Emma's alive."
Jack nodded.
Bill scratched his head and thought about it. "How did you find all of this out?"
"Her daughter Elizabeth. Didn't I mention her?"
"Yeah, but how exactly did you meet?"
"Your son."
"William," Bill said looking to his son who was gagging on the drink.
"She's 'is girlfriend."
"You're kidding."
"No," Will said coming back.
"Head clearing up," Jack asked.
Will gave a shudder as he remembered the taste once more.
"Now, what's this I hear about you having a girl?" Bill asked.
"Yes, I have a girl as you so eloquently stated," Will answered back.
Bill turned to Jack. "And how did you get him to trust you?"
"Life or death situation mate."
Bill nodded. "And just where is said girl now?"
"On the other end of the island I think."
All of the people around them stopped doing whatever it was they were doing before.
"She, she's with them," Bill asked.
"Yeah," Jack said.
"Oh dear. William, son, she's in a right state of trouble."
"What do you mean?"
"Those people, the women, they're jus not righ."
Will and Jack both waited for him to elaborate. Everyone was still watching them so Bill had them move to another more secluded space.
"Now what's all this rubbish," Jack asked.
"'snot rubbish. Those women, there's something different about them."
Will and Jack were both very confused.
"They've got these abilities. The women have been on the island longer then I have but the men here know. Their queen, Queen Ame, is one of the most powerful women. That's how she became their leader you know. She came into power around the same time I got here. Anyway, they've got this sort of mystical air about them. You wouldn't want to come across one in a Tortuga alleyway." Both men were silent for a moment.
"Jack, we've got to save her."
Jack leaned over to Bill. "Knew 'e was goin to say that."
Sorry about the lack of updates and sorry it's so short. I've had horrible writers block for this and Forever Together. Looking forward to hearing what you thought. Later.
