Chapter Eight- Nisan
"Nisan!" Robin and Sophie yelled and ran to their friend.
"Hey, guys!" Nisan said happily. "This is really weird."
"You're telling us! This is our second time here!" Robin said.
"Where exactly am I?" Nisan asked. "I mean, what movie?" Robin and Sophie smiled.
"You just so happen to be in Virginia in the year 1607, exactly 400 years in the past." Sophie said. Nisan looked at her.
"You don't mean…" She said.
"We do." Robin said. "Welcome to the movie Pocahontas."
...oOo...
"How did you get here?" Robin asked after Nisan had changed into some Indian clothes.
"I don't really know." Nisan answered.
"I brought you here. It looked like Robin and Sophie were going to some help." Maka said.
"Oh, Nis, this is Maka. Maka, Nisan." Robin said.
"Hi." Nisan said.
"Hi." Maka said. "Hey, guys, did the plan work?" Maka asked. "I missed that part."
"It worked. Now we have to find out what Janet has planned." Sophie answered.
"OK. Great. Thanks." Maka said.
"I think we need to go find Pocahontas and John." Aiyana said. "Just because their wedding is postponed doesn't mean they aren't planning it." She said. "And Grandmother Willow has been helping."
"Uh oh." Robin laughed.
"Yeah. Uh oh." Sophie said. "Come on, Nisan, we'll show you around."
...oOo...
A month passed and Nisan had learned the ropes. But the three soon found that nothing new was happening and Janet had seemed to disappear.
"I wonder what's going on." Robin asked. Nisan and Sophie shrugged.
"Dunno." Sophie said.
"Maybe she's conspiracing." Nisan suggested.
"She could be coming up with a conspiracy." Robin agreed.
"The question is, what is it?" Sophie said.
"I think we need to go and see Janet." Nisan said. "Maybe we can figure out what's going on."
"Yeah, we should. Maka and Aiyana are out fishing with Aiyana's sister Kai, and Pocahontas and John are with Powhatan." Sophie agreed.
"Then lets go!" Robin said and the three girls ran through the forest to Jamestown.
...oOo...
The three knocked on Janet Ratcliffe's door. Janet appeared.
"Hello Robin, Sophie." She said and Robin knew that she had been crying.
"Hi, Janet. This is our friend Nisan." Sophie introduced.
"Hello." Janet said.
"Are you OK?" Nisan asked. Janet sighed and motioned for them to come in the house. Robin, Sophie, and Nisan exchanged a glance before entering.
"No, actually, I'm not." Janet said.
"Why? What's wrong?" Sophie asked.
"It's my brother. He's wanting me to kill Pocahontas, and I can't do it!" Janet said.
"What?" Nisan asked. Robin and Sophie exchanged a glance. They had forgotten that part.
"John wants me to kill Pocahontas." Janet said. Another glance between Robin and Sophie.
"John? But John would never…" Nisan said.
"Not the John you're thinking of. My John. John Ratcliffe. My brother." Janet said. "It's a popular name."
"Yeah, we noticed." Robin said.
"Anyway, I can't kill Pocahontas! I could never hurt anyone! Not anyone for any reason! My brother thinks that because I'm a Ratcliffe, it's my duty." Janet went on.
"Your duty?" Sophie asked. Janet nodded.
"I'm a Ratcliffe. And I owe John a favor." She said.
"What kind of favor?" Robin asked, crossing her arms over her chest.
"When I was seven years old, I was sure that I was fearless. I wanted to prove it and David, our other brother, dared me to prove it by swimming in the ocean. I told him that that was dangerous and that Mama would kill us if she caught us swimming without someone there to watch us, and David called me chicken. I told him I wasn't and that I would swim. The thing was, I didn't know how to swim. John tried to talk me out of it, but I wouldn't listen. So when I tried to swim against the current, I found that I couldn't. David just sat there and screamed and John was the one who rushed out and got me out of the water. David followed him, but John was always the stronger swimmer. I promised to repay him for saving me one day and when he came back from here a few months ago, he said that I had to come here and kill Smith and Pocahontas for him." Janet explained.
"So that's why you were writing that letter!" Robin said, realizing she had spilled the beans that she and Sophie had been spying on her the moment it left her mouth. Janet nodded.
"Right. I was writing to David, telling him that I couldn't do the task that our brother wants me to. I even wrote John back at told him I wouldn't do it. John hasn't always been bad! It was when he was granted a place in the king's palace that he turned bad." Janet said.
"We believe you." Sophie said. "It's just a lot to take in. Janet, we want to help you."
"We do?" Robin asked. Sophie shot her a look.
"I mean, yeah, we do." Robin made up for her slip.
"Nice save, Rob." Nisan joked.
"Thank you." Janet said. "I know hat you don't really trust me, but I hope you'll grow to trust me."
"Don't worry, Janet. We trust you."
A/N- Well, meet Nisan! Nis, welcome to the gang!
PLOT TWIST! I hope you liked it. Janet really isn't bad!
