Chapter II
Will's pov
Inner turmoil
As I left my blacksmith shop, I felt guilt flood over me. Did I love Elisabeth or Rose? I hadn't seen my childhood sweetheart since I was ten tears old. I 've forgotten her and now that I had seen her again, I couldn't get her out of my mind. I felt unfaithful towards the governor's daughter.
Why did I tell Rose I love her? The kiss was a sin but my words too. But now I was feeling torn and my heart couldn't decide. I needed to go by the sea to put some order in my thoughts. The salty air would do me some good.
As I approached the docks, the vision of the waves beating the shore soothed my soul a bit.
I thought about Jack, where was he? Probably selling on the high seas, singing his eternal pirate song. Speaking about Jack, was it my tired eyes, which were playing tricks on me, or was it him standing there in good company? He hadn't change a bit, who was the lucky lady this time?
As my eyes became accustomed to the dusk, I recognize with horror that she was in fact Elizabeth!!! The shock was so deep that I stood stock-still. She was actually kissing him! How could he accept it, I thought he was my friend, but I realize that he was nothing more than a bloody pirate. Never to be trusted. I couldn't believe that, what I had just told Rose took an other meaning: Elizabeth was in fact, leaving with Jack… I turned my back to the heart breaking scene, and run as fast as I could home.
I had to arrive home before Elizabeth to confront her…
