Chapter 2: Spiked
Elizabeth was sitting alone in her room, engulfed in a foggy cloud of thoughts. Right now, her room seemed too big, too overwhelming. She missed being on a ship, not a care in the world, flying like a bird, the gentle caressing waves rocking you to sleep, the excitement of not knowing where you are going.
Elizabeth acquired her lust for adventure from her mother. She always told her stories about pirates and secretly Elizabeth always wanted to be a pirate. And Jack is a pirate maybe he could show her…NO! She thought leaving the room to find something to occupy herself with.
She swiftly swung open the door to find her father aquwardly standing there holding a blue colored pile of fabric. "Oh Elizabeth!" He acknowledged, "Your party will be in a little while and wear these." He tossed her the pile and handed her a blue mask then waddled off.
She carefully unfolded the pile and realized, it's a dress. She held it up to herself in the mirror and admired the careful white embroidery on the sky blue bodice, the tiny running stitches at the hem, and the drooping neckline.
Her mask was sky blue also but it had navy blue stitching. Her outfit seemed simple, but yet there seemed to be more to it. It seemed more complex than just a blue dress and mask. They seemed as deep and boundless as the ocean.
Once the entire dress was on, she looked like a goddess. She glanced at the clock in the corner of her well furnished room, 7:30. The party had already started.
She drifted her way down the winding staircase and glided into the ballroom. Elizabeth hit the room like a tidal wave. Everyone stopped and gawked at her. There were envious girls, intrigued men and elders all looking at her, amazed.
She somehow found her way over to the corner of the ballroom and the room gradually grew louder
"Elizabeth, you look stunning, if it's, not too forward." Norrington was standing at the refreshment table but managed to join Elizabeth.
She rolled her eyes. Norrington never spoke his mind, and if he did he'd always say "I'm sorry" or "is that too forward?" But instead Elizabeth curtsied and responded with a "thank you."
Governor Swann, (Who was bugging a servant about fine wine when his master needed him) chimed in, "Yes Elizabeth absolutely marvelous."
True, Elizabeth felt good in the dress but she'd feel even better if she was draped in pirate garb.
After a while, Norrington and her father got into a conversation about an opera and Elizabeth thought that, that was her queue to leave."
She walked over to one of the servants holding a wine tray. His face was covered by a mask because her party was a masqure party. He was very burly and seemingly handsome. His in hair was in dreadlocks but tied in the back.
He flashed her a toothy grin. He had silver and gold capped teeth and he looked somewhat familiar but she ignored it and focused on getting her wine.
Before she reached for the cup, he spiked it with some sort of seasoning and gave her the glass.
She eyed him skeptically before walking off.
She sat down in one of the far corners of the room and watched everyone dance. They were all couples.
Her heart ripped a little bit more, if Will was still alive, she'd be dancing.
I have to stop thinking about him she thought to herself taking a long sip of her wine, drowning her sorrows with the maroon colored drink from hell and boy was it addicting.
She finished the drink in five minutes flat. She felt tipsy. She was so dizzy she couldn't stand up. Her speech was so slurred, that it came out in a big jumble of letters. Her vision was weak, her body strained and her head throbbed.
She tried to call for help but all it sounded like was "eeellppp."
She tried once again to stand up but didn't succeed.
She hit the ground, hard. The room went silent except a couple of stray whispers sounding somewhat like, "What happened?" "Who did it?" "Is she dead?"
Elizabeth felt someone lifting her up and taking her into the direction of the courtyard and then she lost full consciousness.
