I smirked at Theo Groves, who happened to be smirking back at me. It was mid day and very hot, as I stood next to the wench, waiting for the serimony to end. James Norrington was promoting form Captain to Commodore. I could hardly wait till after the serimony. I was always friends with Theo and Andrew, who are luteniets, and James who I had met on rather akward terms. A sharp pain in my ribs pulled me back to reality, which happened to be the wench giving me a filthy glare. I ignored her, and clapped as the governer handed James a very beautiful sword. It held long elegant rapier, with an ornately wrought handle. The piece of metal creating a beautiful twisting desing, inlaid with gold flilgree. It was fit for a Commodore. Aspecially James, who deserved one made by his best friend. It was rather difficult, but with the help of my friend and boss Will. I stayed in his shop later at night, just to make it. I was also Wills secret apprentice, while he being one for Mr. Brown, the actual Town Black smith.
"Are you incapable of walking Tonia?" My mother question, since apparently she had been trying to make me move. I just rolled my eyes and wondered away from her angered form. I walked across the fort top, and over to a more private section, wich occypied non other than Andrew Gillette and Theo.
"Hello! I thought I would die from the heat!" Andrew hugged me gently and then Theo, still smirking.
" I wouldnt play about that if I were you Toni." I ignored that and walked over to the edge looking over the ocean.
"Did you tell him yet? Did you tell him I made it?" I turned my head to see both men act like they never heard me.
"...You didnt... You promiced you would tell him!" I turned back to the ocean. A hand pressed down on my shoulder.
"Toni, I'm really sorry. Andrew and I just thought it be better if he didnt know. He may...worry."
"I understand Theo, but it was a gift and James was suppose to know!" A calm voice also appeared behind me. I turned around smirking.
"What was I suppose to know?"
The oh so clueless James stood infront of me. I never really approved of what he was suppose to wear.
"Your lucky this is a special day James, because if not….that hat would be flying over the fort wall by now."
He grins back at me and evaluated my own wardrobe.
"Tonia Frent. I thought I would have never seen the day you wore a dress."
He said with his baratone voice.
"Shush….", I heard the annoying voice making me look over his shoulder," Oi! James! The blond idiot is staring at you!"
He glares at me, probally since Im not covering the immense amount of laughter I had produced. Theo joined in to, but Gillette looking more simpathetic.
"OI! Andrew whats wrong!"
He looks at James for a moment, who nods at him.
"Well….Governer Swan…..informed James…..that…well…he..um"
James finally says:
"He wants me to propose to Miss. Swan."
Woah. Standing there….watching the face of Theo, shocked. Watching Gillette look guilty, and most of all. Watching James…the mirror of a ghost that would watse his whole life away on someone that's unloveable. For some reason in this minute, there was a change in the wind. I looked over the fort wall and my eye caught a glimpse of the wisping black sails, and decayed looking wood of a ship in the distance. I was caught in a trance, that was only broken by the screams of the women behind me. I looked around curious and figured I had been oblivious to the world for a good five minutes. Theo of course pulled me to the site where we watched down below, as James hit the water, and surfaced again pulling out the lifeless, pale looking form of Elizabeth Swan.
The only sounds that could be heard we those of a crying man. The Governer.
A/N: HEY! Im so happy! I really am! I got Microsoft word so all my new chapters should be easier to read….also, Im sorry it took much longer than 2 weeks….but the next should be a bit sooner I hope. Plus….we all want to know what became of Philip right?
