Heh, I almost posted chapter five before I posted chapter four. Whoops!
I smiled, "Good evening, Jack," I murmured, flipping my hair carelessly. He glared, ready to call his men off on me. I was surprised he'd suppressed them for so long. Because I was a teenage girl, I assumed. How foolish.
"Clairice… Give that back, it can come of no use to you," He said slowly and calmly, trying to restrain his anger. So as to not hurt me, or not hurt the compass, I was unsure.
I wrapped my hair around my finger, "You're wrong," I told him bluntly.
"What?" I couldn't believe how easy this was becoming. Then again, that's how life goes, isn't it? It's always easy in the beginning… then comes the challenges.
"You see… this can be of very great importance to me," I took a step backwards. The backs of my calves touched the soggy, wooden edge of the boat. "I'll take good care of it, I promise." I closed my eyes with a smile, as the familiar feeling of weightlessness overwhelmed me. Wind whistled in my ears and whipped at my face. I thought I heard my name, not that I cared. Not that I ever cared. Not anymore. Not ever again. The world suddenly disappeared around me, black liquid pulling me down, further into the deep chasm. When I felt my feet land aground I smiled at the memorable setting. I watched in contentment as the robins flew away in a flurry of mixed emotions. Light filtered in from below the stained glass pillar. I scrutinized the artwork, wondering which path my future had taken this time. I frowned down at the face of my long lost comrade but only for a moment before turning my attention to the lanky figure beside him, staring up at me with unfeeling blue eyes. A disarray of silver hair created a halo around his angel's face. Who… was he?
Jack's POV
"Clairice!" I screamed, running to where she stood but seconds beforehand, arriving just in time to see her youthful form spiral downward into the stormy waters. What the heck…?! I slammed a fist down hard on the rotting mahogany, listening to the paper crunch in my fist beneath white knuckles. I forced myself to uncurl my fingers and look at all I'd had to remember her by. The only thing I could use to find her. I.O.U. it said simply. Why that little cheeky…
So, I actually already wrote chapter five. If I get a review from someone other than my cousin I'll update tomorrow. If not, I'm not sure when I'll update.
