CHAPTER 7

Captain Jack Sparrow was getting impatient. It had been three days now and Kat hadn't been let out of her house. "I can't stand this." He thought to himself. He waited until the sun had set and made his way to the back door. Over the past couple of days Jack had made it a point to get to know some of the servant girls pretty well. So it wasn't too hard to get one of them to let him into the estate, all he had to do was tell the silly little maid a few of his more colorful stories and flash her a golden smile. When she had fallen asleep from too much wine he slipped out into the mansion.
Jack glanced around the mansion appreciatively, slipping gold and silver trinkets into his pockets. He couldn't help it. Remember pirate? But he was still on guard, when he heard a door bang closed up stairs he hid behind an ornate blue curtain, and listened to the voices of two men as they walked past him unaware.
"She is still keeping to her room Donovan?" The governor asked the young man as they walked down the hallway. Jacks eyes widened in recognition of the name and listened closer.
"No sir." Donovan answered. "She says she's feeling to ill to come down stairs as of yet. But she is well enough to no longer need a maid there to help her around."
"Poor child. It is better then, I mean me speeding up the engagement?" the governor asked.
"Honestly sir whenever I bring up the engagement she gets very still and quite. I think she can not think of such happiness yet."
"Yes, yes. But it will be alright Donovan you will see." Said the governor, patting the young man on the back.
Jack peaked around the curtain and saw that the men were moving off again. When they turned their backs Jack sprinted across the hallway and up the stairs. Trying to stay semi-hidden. He looked down the hall and seeing all the doors he closed his eyes exasperatedly and said, "Of course."
He sauntered lightly to the first door and put his ear to it, listening. He repeated this several times. On about the fourth door he had just put ear to the door when he heard the sound of girls giggling, the doorknob turned slightly and Jack looking around frantically for some cover stumbled over to the next door, and pressed his body up against it. Two young maids came out of the room and giggling walked down the hallway, away from Jack. He sighed and leaned up against the door. When the door he was leaning on opened toppling him into the room and the girl on the other side.
There was a frightful scream and he felt that his head was in the lap of a girl in a nightdress. He looked up a little farther and found himself looking into a pair of deep blue eyes. "'ello love. Did you miss me?"
"Jack!" Kat exclaimed.
There was no time to do more than that as voices and running feet could be heard coming up the stairs. "Ekaterina! Ekaterina! Are you alright?"
"Hide!" Kat whispered desperately to Jack. Jack scrambled out of her lap and looked around Kat's room. He dived under her bed and Kat ran and taking a flying leap landed in her covers just as Donovan and her uncle were at the door.
"What on earth is the matter child?" asked her uncle breathless.
"Why did you scream?" asked Donovan walking towards the bed.
Kat looked at them and lied, "Oh nothing. Sorry I had a bad dream."
"A dream?" asked Donovan suspiciously. He took a few more steps toward the bed and said, "Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure." Kat answered back. "I think I would know if I was dreaming or not."
"Of course." Her uncle replied.
"Do you want someone to stay with you?" Donovan asked.
"No, no. I'm not a child I don't need someone to sit up with me when I have a nightmare." Donovan looked as if he would stay no matter what she said. "Please Donovan I'm its late, and I'm tied. I will see you tomorrow. Goodnight uncle."
Donovan bowed as did her uncle and they began to walk out. Kat got out of bed and walked them to the door. She smiled and said goodnight again before she closed and locked the door behind her. She left the door and watched as Jack wiggled out from under the bed. "How did you get in here?" Kat asked.
"Does it really matter?" Jack asked back smiling.
Kat thought for a moment then walked into Jacks open arms, "No." she said. Jack pulled her away then put his mouth to hers. Kat threw her arms around Jacks body, trying to get closer to him. They kissed each other passionately and desperately as if they would crawl into each other through each other's mouths. Jacks hand's wandered over Kat's back, lower and lower until he picked her up by her legs while she still clung to him. He carried her over to the bed and sat her down still kissing her; she slowly began to undo the buttons of Jacks shirt. He separated his mouth from hers and asked looking at her very seriously, "Do you really know what you're doing love?"
"No." she answered honestly. "I've never done anything like this before." She finished deliberately misunderstanding him.
"That's not what I meant love. And you know it."
Kat's hands wandered over Jack's chest and said brought to a whisper not by fear but by something else. "This is what I want. I promise."
"You can't get married to that pansy after this."
"I know. I'll go with you." she said kissing him again, "Anywhere, everywhere. We will find your ship together and we will sail away with each other."
Even as his body wanted to believe her his conscience, he didn't even know he had one left, made him pull away holding her away from him with his hands on her arms. "Think about it for just a moment Kat. All I can give you is myself and the sea."
"I know that." Kat was shaking her head side to side.
"Do you know what they do to pirates when they get caught?"
"They hang them." She said dryly.
"Yeah, and that might happen to me one day."
"But not today, and not tomorrow." She responds dramatically. She pulls out of his arms and touches his face. "This is it. I have already made my choice."
Jack smiles at her. "Just wanted to be sure love." And taking her face in his hands he kisses her again. Slowly letting his fingers untie the nightgown. Kat gasped as his rough fingers touched bare skin. Jack paused for a moment, "Don't stop." She whispered looking into his eyes. "I don't plan to." Jack smiled at her. He slid the nightgown over her head. /////////////////////////////

Jack woke with a start. The bed was empty except for him, "Kat?" he asked the darkness. "I'm here." He heard her whisper in the dark. "Is there anything wrong love?" he asked a little worried. Kat laughed, a warm rich laugh, "No." he could hear her move and caught a glimpse of her dark shape moving closer to him. She touched his bare chest lightly with her hand. Jack grabbed the arm gently and drawing her to him he realized she was still naked. "I thought that maybe you thought it was a mistake." "Never." She said kissing him sliding her body against him. Jack pulled her back onto the bed. And holding her small body to his he asked, "Why are you up then love?" "I'm thinking how we can sneak out of here." Jack frowned at the thought that he, the real pirate, hadn't thought of an escape plan. "Why don't we go now?" he asked. "I didn't want to wake you." She said rubbing her lips against his cheek. Jack smiled again, "Well I'm awake now love. Let's get out of here, before anyone wakes up. The Intrepid is in the harbor and we can leave right away." "The Intrepid?" asked Kat surprised, "I didn't think that Anna Maria would have helped you come after me?" "She didn't." he replied and Kat could feel the smile slid lazily across his face. "Don't tell me you stole her boat." "Ok then I won't." Jack said. "Then how did you get it?" she asked confused. "I can't tell you love. You told me not to." Kat laughed at that and Jack rolled her over him holding her to him. "Come on. Let's get dressed." He said getting off the bed. "Aye Captain." She mocked.

//////////////////////////////////////

A little over a half an hour later they were sneaking through the sleeping Port Royal. Kat had her black pirate outfit on and was following Jack quietly.
The boat lay in a shinny pool of moonlight, its sails flapping in the light breeze. They got on the boat and were preparing to embark. Jack watched Kat walking over to him when a shape separated itself from the surrounding shadows and put a sword to Kat's throat.
"You thought you got ride of me didn't ya missy?" wheezed the voice.
Kat's eyes widened in terror as she recognized the lisp that she had given the man, "Brock." She said.
"Aye love. I owe you for my tongue. And I owe yer lover for the picking up of my crew." He said jerking his head towards Jack.
Jack pulled out his sword, "Let her go mate."
"I don't think so, mate." Brock spat the last word out like a curse. "You can watch me kill her then I'll kill you." He pressed the sword so hard to her neck a small trickle of blood ran down her throat.
"I challenge you." Jack said hurriedly looking into Kat terrified eyes. "And by the code you have to except. If you win you get everything that's mine, I win, and well you get the point."
"Fine." Brock said tossing Kat away from him.
The two men ran at each other clashing their swords together with equal ferocity. Kat could only sit and watch as Brock and Jack seemed to dance around the ship slashing at each other, and dodging blows. Brock slashed Jacks left arm and Kat cried out in protest. Jack ran up onto the bow of the ship and grabbing a piece of loose rope used it to swing down kicking Brocks sword away from his hand. Brock rolled after his sword and found it just before Jack could run him through. Surprising Jack Brock flung his body against Jack's sending both of them sprawling away Jack losing his sword under a cargo net. Brock laughed evilly and closed in for the kill. Brock swung at Jack's neck and Jack, dropping to his knees pulled out Brocks pistol and shot him in the chest. Kat screamed at as the gun exploded the silence of the sleeping port. Brock's eyes went wide and then he fell, dead on the deck. Jack turned to Kat and asked a little breathless, "Are you alright love?"
"I'm fine." But noticing the blood seeping from his left arm said, "But your wounded!" She ran to him and ripping apart of shirt tied it around his arm.
She clung to him for a moment then Jack said, "Let's go."
"Not so fast sir!" Yelled a voice behind them.
Apparently the sound of the gun and Kat's scream had brought the soldiers from the fort running and now they were surrounded by a large group of soldiers clutching rifles. "Drop your weapon!" yelled a number of the men.
"Of course this would happen." Jack thought to himself as he dropped the gun and put his hands above his head.
Kat walked forward as if she would tell them not to shoot, but before she could speak she saw Jack shake his head at her. Telling her to be silent. The soldiers realizing who she was grabbed at her and said, "Miss Knightly come with us. We'll keep this scoundrel away from you."
"Ekaterina? Ekaterina!" Donovan's voice came from the group of the soldiers. Donovan appeared through the crowd and pulling Kat to him in a passionate embrace, which she did not reciprocate, said looking at Jack disdainfully, "He must have kidnapped her. Hang him!"
Kat couldn't keep silent, "No! He saved me!"
"What?" Kat was very aware that every man's eyes were on her now. She calmly stepped forward and explained, "This man," she pointed at the body on the deck, "Kidnapped me from my room early this morning. And he saved me."
"Are you telling us the truth miss?" Asked the commander.
"Of course I am!" she said tartly, "Captain Sparrow saved me!" She heard Jack groan at the mention of his name.
"That wouldn't be Jack Sparrow would it?" asked the commander. Kat put her hands to her mouth and Jack piped up, "Oh no officer. I'm a different Sparrow. Jack's actually my fourth cousin on my aunts side twice removed." He had moved forward as he spoke smiling at the commander. He slapped the commander on the shoulder and said, "Yes, mom was mortified that I that scallywag is apart of our family tree." The commander not looking convinced grabbed Jacks right arm to she the white "P" burned into Jacks forearm. "Your mother must be doubly upset that both of you just happen to be pirates." Jack half smiled, half grimaced as the commander said, "Please escort Mr. Jack Sparrow to the jail." "That's Captain Jack Sparrow." Jack corrected. The commander starred at him seemingly unimpressed and continued, "He must appear in court tomorrow." "For what charge?" Kat asked. "Murder and piracy." The commander replied. "Murder? That other man was a pirate too. Wouldn't you have just hung him anyway?" Kat said. "Yes but unlike pirates we kill only to follow the law." Jack laughed at that and a soldier hit him on the head with the butt of his musket. Jack went unconscious and was dragged away. "No." Kat said. Donovan put his arm around her and said coaxingly, "Even if he did rescue you it was probably only because he wanted to kidnap you also." He took Kat back to the mansion and told her to sleep. But she didn't, she couldn't. She knew what the judge would say tomorrow and she couldn't think of anyway she could stop it.
