Chapter Seven
Chapter Seven:
Penelope found herself roll out of the hammock. When she hit the floor with a thud. She noticed how rocky the ship was. She quickly grabbed her boots, and slipped those on and then tossed on her wite vest and navy blue coat. And ran out of the cabin,and up to the deck.
Rain was pouring down upon the crew hard when as she reached the deck." Whats going on!?" Penelope called, running by Bush's side.
" There's a boat stranded!" He called over the storm to her. Pointing to crew member's pulling several people from a little boat onto the Hot Spur.
Penelope stumbled a bit. And slid towards the side. Where she screamed as she nearly fell overboard. Had Bush not caught her." Penelope get below."He requested.
She did not answer him as she noticed Hornblower dive into the water," Hornblower!" She called and dove in after him. Just in case.
" Penelope!" William called. No responce.
" You can swim!?" Came a call from where Hornblower had dove in. Quickly Bush's gaze turned to the location of the little boat and the captian.
" There are several things you do not know about me." Hornblower responded to her. Holding onto the woman he'd dove in after. Penelope smiled, trying her hardest to tred the heavy water. She smiled at him. Hornblower offered one other hand to her. She grabbed his arm and tried her best not to drag him under. While Doubty swam to them and swam them back towards the Hot Spur.
Once upon the ship. They were brought blankets. Penelope simply accepted the brown raincoat William offered." Your're sucidial." He could not help but comment. Penelope smiled and shrugged.
" Who did we just save?" Penelope asked.
" Can't say yet. But the woman sounds American." Matthews responded. Standing beside her.
"Americans? This should be interesting. " Penelope said and gave William back his coat and headed back down to the cabin. Until she was ordered otherwise.
Plopping down in her hammock she kicked off her boots and swung back and forth. Feeling slightly better. She did not know why she got sick in the first place. Before she could give it another thought she could hear outside her and William's cabin.A male voice that sounded French. She lifted an eyebrow and opened the door. Matthews walked in, with two hammocks." Matthews, what is bloody hell is this?" She asked.
" Captain's orders. You and Leftenant Bush are going to be sharing the cabin with the American couple." He replied.
Before he left out the room.Penelope grabbed his arm gently," Matthews. The husband does not sound American. "
" No. He's Swiss." Matthews said and left the cabin.
" Swiss?" Penelope repeated to herself in disbelief.
She backed in her cabin and sat in her hammock. But no rest for the weary. Hornblower entered next." Are you feeling better, Mid Shipman Pellew?" he asked.
She looked up at him." Aye sir. I am. "
" I suppose after that dive in you must feel a little more refreshed." he mused with a smile.Penelope smiled and chuckled, as he continued." Thank you for jumping in after me."
" Hey what can I say I'm kind of fond of you." She said.
" As a friend I say thank you once more." He said. They stared at eachother for a moment.
Penelope cleared her throat," So what did you need?"
"What? Oh, yes. I need you up on deck, to help Mr.Prowls with the watch. Wear a coat. It gets cold at night." He reminded." At least the rain has stopped."
" Aye aye sir." Penelope said and did as told. As she passed William who made his way to the cabin to retire with the married couple in the cabin, they paused at eachother." Where are you going?" She asked him.
" Retire for the night. I hope to see you in the morning. I'll miss you tonight." He said softly. Looking to make sure no one l was looking, he quickly stole a kiss from her sweet lips" Good night, darling." He whispered.
Penelope smiled,buttoning her brown duster," Good night my love." She muttered and they continued their seperate ways. Penelope turned back, and watched him walking. She could see that the tight queue that kept his hair up and pulled backtightly,was drenched. She smiled once more and ran up the stairs.
Authoress note: I'm trying my best to follow the movie. But also trying to fit the spot for my character too. So please bear with me as much as possible.
