I do not own Pirates of the Caribbean only my OC's.
Chapter 13
Marias POV
I woke up confused. I wasn't on a boat anymore. I suddenly realised that I was not in a familiar place. But I remembered. I am back at the Caribbean. I will find Jack after I have finished with what Tia has to teach me. Once I have finished with that I will be back with him. That is the only reason why I chose to stay while my brother and Antoni left. I got up and started my day with finally changing my clothes after a nice wash. I found a bucket and started filling a barrell that was outside. The water was neither hot or cold. It was just right.
After I got ready I went and sat at the table. And I waited. I looked at all tha amazing and curious stuff that Tia had on the table. When I looked up she was sitting next to me. She was looking at me. It was weird being stared at by a person that I just met yesterday. I then decided to ask her what I have been waiting to find out.
"So... have you heard where Captain Jack Sparrow is now? Or what he's doing?" I asked and she laughed.
"Ahh, you are de ting that Jack Sparrow is incapable to claim as his own. Yes. I have seen him. Don't ya worry. Your paths will cross soon" she said and got up and went into one of the back rooms. I decided to follow her. I entered a room that could resembled a kitchen.
I just staid there watching her cooking something that smelled weird but nice? She started dishing whatever it was and I went back to the table. I felt a bit weird and akward just silently existing. So I decided to make small talk as we were having breakfast.
"What are you supposed to teach me ? To use the magic that the ring has?" she put down in front of me a plate which contained a piece of bred with some kind of light brown stuff on it. I looked at it and suddenly realised that I was very hungry so I decided to try it. I picked it up and bit in to it. It was good. I started eating it and I had finished it quite quickly.
"No. the magic of the ring needs a long time to be taught. No I just used that as an ecxuse so that your 'fate' can come true. Yeh see your help and presence are needed for a task that you will understand when the time comes. Until then you are my guest." she said and got up, picked up our plates and headed to the little kitchen that she had.
I was once more alone. I did not know what to do. So I went to look around the little place. I looke around the room that I was in and all I could see was little trinkets and jars full of stuff that I did not want to know what they are. I slowly start making my way towards the stairs so that I can look around and upstairs. But as I steped on the first step it creaked and Tia came running out of the kitchen.
"No! Ye are not allowed to go up dere. Upstairs is somewhere dat you are not allowed to go. Dere are stuff dat you are not allowed to do an dat is one of dem! You lisen carefully. You do not defy da rules dat I will tell ya now. Ok?" I nodded. I was terryfied. An angry Tia was really scary and it took a lot to scare me, I mean I wasn't scared of cursed pirates, but still... She was terryfying.
"First of all you do not, I repeat you do not go upstairs. Secondly you do not leave here without me while you are under my care! You are aloud to go out on the porch a bit but until there, no further. You are not to disturb me if I have clients, unless it is very important. That is it. Those are the rules. If you disobey them they will be consequences. So go and do... stuff... that you usually do and I will go upstairs."
I nodded afraid to even say my opinion. She got up and went upstairs silently. So I went back to looking around, but this time I wouldn't just superficially look. I would explore everything. I would do all of that as quiet as I could because I sure do not want to annoy Tia.
I ignored all the jars after reading the first label, worm tea which had a little note on the bottom of the tag explaining that it was actually what comes out of... the behind of the worms. What was rather interesting was the jewelry that she had. They were mostly rings and necklaces. I also found some letters adressed to a Calypso? I didnt want to open them. I knew that if my letters were somewhere hidden and were found by someone I wouldn't want them to open them. So I didn't. I looked aroun some more and found a cage that was empty and a pair of boots that looked like Barbossas? Wow either I am hallusinating from the unconsious quilt or I am going crazy. I'll rather believe it's the first one. Bored I decided that I would look at the rest tomorrow or even another day. I sat down and slowly hummed a song that I will never forget. I never could remember the lyrics but I always had that vague memory of someone singing it to me. I have always sang it when I felt lonely. Even though Tia Dalma was here I felt lonely. I had always been surrounded by people I knew and trusted but there was something about her that made me not trust her much. I don't know. She took me in, she knows my brother, Antoni and Jack but still, something is telling me that she is hidding something. Something big.
So I have not updated in a while, I know. I was planning on updating the story before Christmas but I had loads of school work, exams to read for and assignments... what can I say I will try and post the last chapter or two in a few days, maybe a week. It is good to be back and I hope you like this chapter.
