Pocahontas: A New World Love Story

Chapter 8

[Pocahontas, John Rolfe, the crew, and the others arrived in London in two days. Everyone was intrigued at seeing Pocahontas, and she was intrigued and curious by everything and everyone. Eventually, they made it into John Rolfe's mansion, and even though Pocahontas asked him to let her go with him to see the king, he asked her to wait and let him talk to the king first, so she agreed. Radcliffe had put the idea in the king's head for Rolfe to bring Pocahontas to the hunt ball and he had no choice but to agree. When he told her the news, the maids had her choose a dress and accessories, and Pocahontas chose the things that drew her in the most. The maids helped her get dressed and put some white powder on her face and neck. They did her hair, they showed her the way to dance, to bow to the majesties and she was ready for the hunt ball]
{At the hunt ball}
[She curtsied to the king and queen just like she was taught and danced with a few men. She also danced with John Rolfe but her heart, mind, and soul wished to be dancing only with John Smith. Just then Radcliffe went for the next dance and Pocahontas felt disgusted]
Pocahontas: You, again
Radcliffe: The way you are dressed and have acted seems like you are fitting in
Pocahontas: Why fit in when you are born to stand out? What have you done to John Smith?
Radcliffe: Me? Silly child, I haven't done a thing to him
Pocahontas: I don't believe you, I haven't heard a thing from him in an entire month, which makes me think that you had something to do with that
Radcliffe: On my word that I haven't
Pocahontas: You have no word
(Radcliffe chuckles)
Radcliffe: If you haven't heard from him, it means that perhaps he didn't love you enough
Pocahontas: That's not true, we both love each other deeply, I know our love is true
Radcliffe: Did you ever stop to think that perhaps your beloved is no longer with us?
Pocahontas: What are you talking about?
Radcliffe: Why yess, no longer with us, in another world, dead, decomposed, take your pick
(Pocahontas pulled away abruptly)
Pocahontas: No, no you lie, John Smith isn't dead, I would have felt it in my heart, he's not dead
Radcliffe: Suit yourself
(He walks away and dinner is announced. John Rolfe and Pocahontas follow everyone else to the dining room)
{In the dining room}
[As they were dining, they brought out their "entertainment", which was nothing but a cruel, torturous, and inhumane act. They had a poor bear in chains and were taunting him, that's where Pocahontas had enough, and she stood up and yelled for them to stop. She kneeled beside the animal and hugged it]
King James: Sit down at once, girl, and I will forgive your behavior
Pocahontas: This is torture
King James: It's just an animal
Pocahontas: It is a helpless animal and all animals and people should be treated with respect. You all call my people savages when in fact it is you all who are the savages and monsters
(Radcliffe whispers to him)
Radcliffe: Sire, are you going to allow her to talk to you that way?
King James: Arrest her!
John Rolfe: Your highness, no!
King James: Do not forget where your loyalties lie!
[Radcliffe smiles evilly as the guards take Pocahontas away in chains. They take away the bear and John Rolfe leaves when no one is looking]
{At the pub}
(The captain was talking about what had just transpired because he had heard it from a guard. John Smith was there but was disguised under a blue cloak)
Captain: I bet the king will have Pocahontas' head for that. I bet John Rolfe regrets bringing her back even more now, we all knew that she would just bring trouble
John Smith's POV
No, GOD, please no, not Pocahontas, not under my watch
End of John Smith's POV
(He storms out and gets on a random horse that was there)
{In John Rolfe's backyard}
(He was pacing and suddenly John Smith jumped in from the outside of the stone wall. John Rolfe took out his sword and pointed it at John Smith)
John Rolfe: Who are you? What do you want?
(John Smith took off his hood)
John Rolfe: John Smith, Radcliffe said you were dead
John Smith: I know, we need to rescue her
John Rolfe: So you've heard
John Smith: Of course, I've heard, we need to get moving
John Rolfe: We need a plan
John Smith: I'll pretend to be a prisoner, you lead me in, I make a run for it to make a distraction, you grab the keys, and then let everyone out
John Rolfe: That's your plan?
John Smith: It's simple and easy
John Rolfe: Something could go wrong
John Smith: Nothing will, now let's move it
(They get going)
{With John Smith and John Rolfe}
[As planned, John Rolfe takes John Smith to the dungeons and they get past the guards. The guards take a hold of John Smith, but he escapes, and John Rolfe tells them to go after him. Once they do, John Rolfe takes the keys, and tells Flit to go find Pocahontas]
{With Pocahontas}
(Flit flies in through the open cell window on top of the door)
Pocahontas: Flit
(John Rolfe opens the door)
Pocahontas: John Rolfe, you came
John Rolfe: Of course, I did, with a little help
(John Smith reached the door and took off his hood. Pocahontas' eyes widen at who she was seeing)
Pocahontas: John
John Smith: Pocahontas
(They run to each other and hold hands)
Pocahontas: Radcliffe said you were dead, but I didn't want to believe it
John Smith: I will explain everything, I promise, but right now we need to get out of here
John Rolfe: Let's get to work
[With a part of her ripped dress, they tied it into a rope and on the other celled window at the back and Meeko started to climb down. The others hide back and the guards come. They notice the piece of cloth, and they go up to it, but they only discovered Meeko. He goes to the other ledge and makes his way down. Pocahontas, John Smith, John Rolfe, Uttamatomakkin, and the other animals leave the dungeon and John Smith closes the door on the other guards. They all get out and make their way downstairs only to run into more guards. John Rolfe takes out his sword and starts to battle each one]
(John Smith sighs and takes a large piece of wood and knocks them all down with it)
John Smith: There, done
John Rolfe: Oh yeah, very stylish
John Smith: It got the job done
[They all get down, Uttamatomakkin clashes two of the guards' heads onto each other knocking them out, and they all get on the horses. Windblossom and Pounce ride with John Smith while Meeko and Percy ride with Pocahontas. Uttamatomakkin runs alongside them and they all escape before the bridge closes. They all follow John Smith to a cottage where he was staying]
{At the cottage}
(Pocahontas wrapped her arms around John Smith's waist while he wrapped his arms around her shoulders)
Pocahontas: What happened to you?
John Smith: It was Ratcliffe, he made the king believe that I was the traitor, and I feared for the lives of you, your people, the families of the settlers that stayed back, and the ones that returned. We fled to Seahaven, Eric granted us sanctuary and we hid there. I knew the king wouldn't harm innocent people, but Radcliffe on the other hand would. You know how he is, he would do anything to get what he wants even if that means killing innocent lives
Pocahontas: I missed you so much
(She laid her head on his armored chest and he laid his cheek on her hair. They pull away slightly and hold hands)
John Smith: So did I, I thought about you every day
Pocahontas: But you never wrote to me
John Smith: I did
Pocahontas: What?
John Smith: I wrote to you every day, but I just never sent the letters. I couldn't risk the chance of someone intercepting my letters and having them brought to Radcliffe. I couldn't risk the lives of all those families and settlers. I couldn't risk the lives of your people or yours either. Radcliffe would have done anything to get to me and even kill Eric, his betrothed, Ariel, his people, and everyone I care about. He's a madman, a monster, and a savage. My love, all that matters is that we're together again
(They wrap their arms around each other again, but John Rolfe drops a rake, which makes them pull away)
John Smith: Not that you don't look beautiful in that dress, but why do you have powder on your face and neck?
Pocahontas: The maids, they got me ready for the hunt ball
John Smith: I always hated those and you don't need that ridiculous stuff on your face and neck. You don't need any of that fancy crap. I think you look beautiful with just your simple dress and your simple long hair. Fancy dress and jewels or not, you're beautiful just the way you are
John Rolfe: She was going to a ball to meet the king and queen
(John Smith looks at John Rolfe)
John Smith: So what? She doesn't need any of those things to look lovely or to meet royalty. She only needs to be herself and she only needs to be true to who she is
(He turns to her)
John Smith: Pocahontas, for as long as I've known you, you've had a deep connection to nature and the spirits that surround us, let's go out there
Pocahontas: I want to do this alone
John Smith: Alright, I'll be here waiting
(Pocahontas kisses his cheek and runs out)
John Rolfe: No, wait-
John Smith: Leave her be
John Rolfe: If her safety doesn't matter to you-
John Smith: Don't you ever fucking question whether I care about her wellbeing. I know when she needs to go off on her own
{With Pocahontas}
[Pocahontas remembers the last words that Nakoma spoke to her before Pocahontas left for England, "Don't forget this land". She knelt on the ground, cupped her hands in the pond, and used the water to wash her face and neck. She takes the things out of her hair and looks at her original reflection in the water. The sun was starting to rise and John Smith and John Rolfe went outside. All of Pocahontas' animals ran to where she was. She stood up and felt the wind, leaves, and spirits around her and she knew what she had to do]
{With John Smith and John Rolfe}
(John Smith felt the wind, leaves, and spirits around him as well. Just then Pocahontas and the animals came into view and they went to John Smith and John Rolfe)
John Smith: I believe this belongs to you
(He took her mother's necklace and put it around her)
Pocahontas: My people are in danger, we need to stop this. I'm going back
John Rolfe: They'll hang you
Pocahontas: Then I will be the first to fall
John Rolfe: You're crazy, it's a suicide mission
Pocahontas: How can they respect my culture, my customs, my people, and everything and everyone I stand for when they haven't seen any of it?
John Smith: You're crazy and I love it, we need to talk to the king and settle all of this
(Pocahontas smiles)
John Rolfe: Unbelievable
(Pocahontas stops smiling and gets serious)
John Rolfe: Alright, fine, I'll go as well
*Pretend they look how they did in the original film*
