"In 1607 we sailed to the new world. I was there, I met one of the greatest captains, John Smith. We were all young man, seeking for freedom we thought we'd found to the new world. What we didn't know though, that that freedom was from the begging deep in our hearts", Thomas began. Johanna was hearing the story, depressed and angry for she didn't know the truth for 25 years. Miranda and her husband were shocked as well because Thomas hadn't said a word before.
"Reaching the new world, it was a whole new experience for us. Ben, Lon, John Smith, me, all of us travelled there thinking the natives were savages. It was in the very end that we changed our mind. Everyone had his purpose. I wanted to find lots of gold, build me a big house and prove that I was not useless as Ractliffe thought. I guess Ben and Lon wanted riches, too. But that was not for John Smith. He was different. He was with all of us, friendly, sociable, but at the same time he was too far from all of us. He was all alone. He was dreaming of adventures but I know, he had something deeper in his heart. I never found out though. One day, he went out to explore the new world and that's when he met your mother. Your mother was a NATIVE AMERICAN. She was named Matoaka but Native Americans aren't called by their real name but by another nickname. Hers was Pocahontas. As Pocahontas John knew her, as Pocahontas I knew her. They met each other and they immediately fell in love. One day, Ractliffe (the governor) sent me to follow him and find out why he was sneaking off. I saw him… I saw him kissing with your mother. I couldn't believe what I was watching. Then, suddenly, a native named Kocooum, your mother's fiancé, attacked your father and he was about to kill him but I shot him. Kocooum was death and Native Americans accused John for that. He spent a night without eating or drinking anything, he was punched. They wanted to kill him by hitting his head at sunrise. By the very last moment Pocahontas appeared (we were about to have a war) and saved him. Their love stopped a war. But fate didn't want them to be together. Ractliffe was about to shot Powhatan, Pocahontas' father, but John took the bullet instead and had to return to England."
Johanna was left speechless and ran out of the house.
"Johanna, wait, where are you going?", Miranda screamed.
"All these years, all these lies, no one told me the truth. You didn't either. You hide things, I feel it, you hide things", she shouted and added "If my father was alive he would tell me the truth".
"We don't know if he is alive", Thomas explained.
"You what? My father John Rolfe has been dead a year now", she told and ran to the village to find Nakoma.
"No, Wait", Thomas begged her but she didn't stop running.
Everything was a mess right now. Some hours ago they were all happy, sitting on the sofa and talking and now Johanna hate them.
"Father, why all these lies? I guess she Is right. You are hiding more but you will tell me. No more secrets, she has the right to know, I have the right to know. We live here and we found of portrait of Johanna's mother and a stranger and you're saying that they we were lovers but that doesn't make sense. We need an rational explanation and we need it now", said Miranda.
"She is right Thomas", her husband agreed.

So, this part is too short but I wanted this to be live that. My story won't talk about Pocahontas and John Smith as we saw then in the movie but what happened to them after the movie. Guess what. (SPOILER): They lived together. That's what I will write about. But this short part of Thomas telling their first meeting etc. to Johanna was needed, otherwise I couldn't go on to what is considered that happened to them.
So.. read this short chapter, review it, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease
because the other chapters will be very interesting.
Spoilers:
Pocahontas and John Smith live together, they are actually married.
