Pocahontas' Decision

                              By: Ashley Brown

 

Pocahontas walked into John Rolfe's living room where he and John

Smith was waiting for her.

"Well um...as you know I love you both dearly and if I could I would be

With both of you, but I know I have to choose one of you to be

Happy...." Pocahontas began.

"Pocahontas, if this is hard for you, we can wait a couple more weeks or

Months to make your decision" John Smith told her in a caring voice.

"That's right, all we want is for you to be happy." John Rolfe told her.

 

Pocahontas smiled at the two men "Thank you, but this decision has to be

Made and it has to be made today." Pocahontas said taking a deep breath.

"The person I want to be with always and forever is John...."

John Smith and John Rolfe's hearts began to beat faster then usual,

Both at the edge of their seat wondering which man would get to spend

The rest of his life with Pocahontas. Pocahontas began again...

"The person I wish to be with is John...John Smith."

John Smith just stood their speechless not knowing what do say or do at

That moment, but John Rolfe however knew exactly what to do, her decision

Just stabbed him in the heart and he was in great pain and agony. John

Rolfe couldn't even look at her; it just hurt too much he turned his head

Away from Pocahontas and looked at the floor. Pocahontas went on

"I want to be with John because, I love him dearly...I saved him from

Death, and confessed my love to him in front of his people and mine,

Even when that evil Governor Ratcliff shot John and he had to return

Back to England I still loved him, even when I heard rumors that he was

Dead I knew in my heart I still loved him. After five years my heart was

With him, John Rolfe please understand...please don't hate me or John

Smith...please."

John Rolfe sighed he wanted to look at her but he couldn't

" I don't hate you....even though you and Capt. Smith here are together

and madly in love. I still can't help, but being in love with you. What

did I do wrong, to make you not want to be with me? I could give you

more then that Captain could in a lifetime! He is only a poor Captain,

but I am a rich diplomat. What can he give you that I can't! I demand to

know!" John Rolfe screamed.

Pocahontas became very frightened "John Rolfe, please understand my

decision, please understand that for me to be happy I need to be with

John Smith!"

"You did not answer my question what can he give you that I can't?!" he

screamed again.

"TRUE LOVE!" Pocahontas shouted. "Do you want me to spell it out for

you?!" Pocahontas screamed.

John Rolfe became very flustered and very angry and advanced on

Pocahontas as if he was going to hit her, but John Smith who had been

silent through this whole conversation blocked Rolfe so he couldn't get

near Pocahontas.

"Get out of my way Smith if you treasure your life!" Rolfe demanded. But

John Smith being brave wouldn't budge

"If you really care for Pocahontas you will leave her with her decision!"

he said.

John Rolfe started laughing and evil laugh

"Oh right leave her with her decision because she's with YOU!? You would

do the same thing if she had chosen to be with me Smith!" he shouted.

John Smith shook his head

"No Rolfe, I would not do what you are doing because I would respect the

fact that Pocahontas loved and wanted to be with you!"

John Rolfe became flustered yet again and punched Smith and he feel to

the ground, but got back up yet again and was about to punch Smith, but

Pocahontas stopped him.

"John, honey don't. You don't want to be like him do you?" Pocahontas

said looking deep into his soft blue eyes.

John looked at Pocahontas and softly kissed her

"No I don't want to be like him..." John whispered softly to Pocahontas

"but..." he went on "but if he thinks for one moment I am going to let

him hurt you he is wrong. I will never let anyone separate us again!"

John said starting to cry. He was so happy that after five long years he

and Pocahontas would finally be together. Pocahontas softly kissed John

and wiped away his tears. John took Pocahontas' hand "Come on honey

lets go home, you don't need to stick around here anymore...." John

looked at Rolfe. "Look I know you are still upset, but um would you let

Pocahontas get her things?" he said trying to be nice to Rolfe. Rolfe

looked coldly at Pocahontas and John

"Yes go get your things and get out of my house I don't need you here

you little bitch! If I hadn't of taking you to London, you would of

never know that your periods John Smith was even alive! Just get your

things and get out of my house!" John Rolfe said with tears rolling down

his face.Pocahontas ran into her room and quickly packed her things and

walked out. John Smith looked at Pocahontas she grew more beautiful by

the moment.

"John Smith honey I am ready to go..." she said softly to him.

John Smith smiled "Alright honey, but before I go may I ask you a

question?" he asked her. Pocahontas nodded

"Yes John, what is it?"

"Pocahontas will you marry me?" John asked her. Tears filled Pocahontas'

eyes.

"Yes John, Yes I will!" She cried throwing her arms around his neck and

kissing him with extreme passion that really pissed of John Rolfe. Rolfe

grabbed his gun and shot it in the air so they would be aware of the

guns presents. John and Pocahontas ran out the door, still carrying

Pocahontas stuff, but Rolfe followed screaming

"I hope you enjoy your time together!"

Finally Pocahontas and John Smith reached his house and John lead her in

the door and helped her unpack her things.

"Oh, John. I love you so much. I am sorry that happened back there..."

she began to cry on his shoulder, but John comforted her.

"Oh, Pocahontas angel I love you too, it is not your fault what happened

back there. Understand?"

"Okay..." Pocahontas whispered. Since Rolfe wasn't there to stop

Pocahontas and John, they began to kiss passionately.

"Oh, I am so glad you are going to marry me Pocahontas. I feel like I am

the luckiest man alive."

Just as John said that there was a knock on the door, so John and

Pocahontas went to answer it....

"Oh um errs...Rolfe!? What do you want?" John said nervously as

Pocahontas clung to John's arm tightly, she was very afraid because

Rolfe was here. After his actions today he had no business to be at

John's home.

"Um, I wanted to say I am sorry for about what happened earlier today.

My actions were un-called for and I shouldn't have blown up like that.

Pocahontas I am sorry if I scared you and upset you. Do you think you

can forgive me?" he asked full of hope. Pocahontas looked at John Smith

"Pocahontas it is your decision whatever or not you want to forgive him or

not. I don't care what you decide at all honey."

"No, I shall not forgive you..I bid you good day sir!" Pocahontas said

shutting the door on his face. John held Pocahontas in his arms.

"Okay here is what we will do...we will get married tomorrow...is that

okay with you?"

"I would love that John"

"Then we will hop on a ship to Virginia, and stay there happily for the

rest of our lives. How does that plan sound to you my love?"

Pocahontas answered his question with a passionate kiss on the lips.

The next day Pocahontas and John were married and furious that John

Rolfe was there watching them join together as husband and wife, but

said nothing. After Pocahontas and John were married, they went to

John's house and packed up everything they would need on the long voyage

back to Pocahontas' home. They arrived at the ships deck and went on the

ship that would take them to beautiful Virginia.

"Oh John it has been to long since I have been here. I hope Thomas and

Nakoma keep the peace between our people alive."

"Don't worry Pocahontas, if they didn't keep it alive you and I could

easily bring peace to our people again."

Pocahontas smiled and kissed her husband. As they steeped off the ship

Nakoma and Thomas who had been married two weeks earlier saw them and

ran up to greet them.

"John lad you're alive. We heard here that you died."

"Well, I am alive and well Thomas, alive and well. And Pocahontas and I

are married."

"Oh, Pocahontas that is so wonderful. Thomas and I just got married two

weeks ago."

Pocahontas let out a sigh of relief "So the peace has been kept between

our people that goodness."

Nakoma smiled "And I see that you and John will be excepting soon!"

Nakoma said as all for of them walked together with Thomas and John

carrying the stuff that Pocahontas and John owned.

"Oh yes, in five months the baby will be coming" John told her.

Nakoma smiled at John, she was happy to see her best friend was finally

happy.

Five months passed quickly and Pocahontas gave birth to a baby girl in

which they named Rebecca. John had built Pocahontas a handsome little

house in her village and there they lived happily with their daughter. A

12 years passed and John and Pocahontas were very happy together in

deed. They lived the rest of their lives together in peace.
