Chater Eight: Tortuga

CHATER EIGHT

I jumped out onto the dock, the wood creaking under my weight, "Hey, I am dieting you know," I yell at it, Jack chuckles as he brushes past, Oh my GOD, I love his eyes! SHUT IT! Welcome back I missed you is also a nice thing to say, well I was always taught not to lie, you are such a bitch, hah! You just called yourself a bitch! (yes, I am talking to the voice if you don't understand what's happening.) "Shut up other Bella," Mikie says, I guess he could tell from my expression what was happening. The voice finally shuts up (hallelujah).

I go to breathe in the fresh air... or at least I thought it would be, the first thing I noticed about Tortuga was the putrid stench. It was possibly the most horrible thing I had ever smelt! Gagging I stumbled over to Jack who was giving Mikie his little 'welcome to Tortuga,' speech, "A sad life it is that has not breathed deep the sweet proliferous bouquet-"

"Excuse me while I barf," I interrupt, what the hell is up with this guy! He makes it sound like this dump smells good! (guess he's used to it) The second thing I noticed was the thick swarm of women now surrounding Jack, who was making an attempt to flirt with them all at the same time, yet not let any of them know that he was cheating on one with another. I let out a giggle as Mikie escapes the crowd and walks over to me, "What's the guy word for slut?" I ask him, getting pen and paper ready (in my mind), "uhh, I believe that would be 'Jack'," We both start laughing (SUPRISE!) after waiting for a bit it becomes clear that we would have to interrupt, I clear my throat dramatically, "So, Mikie, how's existing working out for you?" I ask in a loud voice, we both stifle giggles as it all goes quiet with people suddenly noticing us, "hi," I say with a wave, "o's she?" a woman who looks startiningly like Giselle asks, "her? Oh, no one, just some prostitute the boy picked up along the way, not that attractive is she?" Jack tells them all, not meeting my eyes, exCUSE ME!?!? That JERK! (I mean, of course I know why he said it, and he didn't mean it (I hope) but STILL) "That's not what you said last night," I retort with a smirk, cleaning my nails on my shirt, a thousand pairs of eyes all fall on Jack at the same time, "oh cra-" is all he manages to get out before he is interrupted by about a million slaps from a million angry women, it looks so painful that I almost feel sorry for him... Almost. As the crowd disperses Jack walks over to us, rubbing him cheeks, "You could have thought of a less painful way of getting back at me," he complains, I just smile, "umm... her less painful way would include you being unable to breed," Mikie tells Jack, who immediately stops rubbing his face and backs away from me, "I could still do that option if you like?" I offer sweetly, "I'm good," he tells me, I just laugh and turn away.

And that, my friends, brings me to the third thing that I notice in Tortuga, which is also the first thing I noticed in Tortuga, the first thing I ever noticed in Tortuga, the first thing I ever noticed in this world, a man, a man standing in a dark alleyway, a man who has scared me in more ways than one. I stop everything, barley breathing, the only thing I'm able to do is bring my hand up to my face, to touch the scar he had left there, 10 years ago, a cross. "Hide me," I whimper, before he lunges forward. Again.

Jack and Mikie whip their heads around and stare at me, and then they see the man, the man who is running toward me, a sword in his hand and an evil grin on his face, and in the last second, I run. I sprint as fast as I can, "MOVE!" I scream at the top of my lungs, "MOVE YOUR FAT ASS YOU UGLY WHORE!" People jump out of my way, I'm getting a whole lot of evil glares, but at the moment I don't really give a shit, I just run, and I scream, and I hope I can bloody make it.
