Katrina watched her husband despairingly, he had been pacing around the
living room since he got home spinning the card board bird around
continually, he wouldn't say why
"sir?" Masbeth called from the door frame "there's someone at the
door.selling some medical books"
"kindly tell him to come later"
Young Masbeth nodded and a moment later came back
"he said you've ordered something"
Ichabod sighed and put the bird back into his pocket "show him in"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~***~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"alrigh' Ick?"
Jack walked in looking very out of place in the well furnished room
A muscle twitched in Ichabod's jaw
"Jack, I thought I made it clear this morning I want nothing to do with
you"
"all I want ta do is talk mate"
Katrina who was sitting down at the other side of the room glanced at
Masbeth who also looked equally confused and shrugged
Ichabod glared. Katrina looked at him shocked, Ichabod had been a little
passionate about his work before and to some people stuck up, but she had
never seen him look angry like this before and felt a little worried
"after what you did, I don't want to talk.and how did you find me here
anyway!?"
she asked suddenly suspicious
"well..a few years ago I paid a little visit to England to see you but
someone, not mentioning any names told me you had gone to New York to
become a police officer, no I 'ah a little stroke of look finding you as
soon as I got off your ship, but I had to 'persuade' another officer of the
force to tell me were you live."
he finished a little out of breath, but a smile was tickling the edge of
his lips, and without asking slumped down on the couch making Ichabod wince
against his will, that was when Jack noticed Katrina
"ahhh, Icky didn't tell me he had lovely bird such as yourself" he said
giving a small bow "Captain Jack Sparrow" he said standing up quickly and
holding out his hand in a pompous manner
Katrina shook it, surprised
"Katrina Crane" she said shaking it uncertainly
"now that's enough Jack, get out!" Ichabod said, it was defiantly unlike
him to raise his voice so much, and when he did, as Jack would say, he
sounded like a eunuch.
Jack looked at Ichabod modestly and held his hands in front of him in a
passive a passive way
"alright, alright I'll be on my way then, nice 'ta meet yer" he added
looking at Katrina "and you little boy" he added patting a very dishevelled
Masbeth on the head.
~~~~~~~~~~Ichabod's dream sequence ~~~~~~~~~~~
'Ichabod....' came the familiar voice
the only thing different so far was he started off in front of the iron
maiden
'Ichabod...' Seeing his mother's eyes in the front of the torture device,
he stepped back and hurt his hands, that was when the maiden opened
'ICHABOD!' a much rougher voice was heard coming from the door behind him,
as he turned around he seemed to age and looked about eleven, when he did
he found himself staring into the cold eyes of his father
and behind him was another boy about fourteen walking away..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~end of sequence~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ichabod awoke with the same anguished cry that had not been heard for a
long time, in the process awaking Katrina
"what is it love?" she asked embracing him and rubbing his back, eventually
his harsh breathing subsided and he was able to pull away and look into
Katrina's eyes
"remember I told you about my father a while ago?" he asked swallowing hard
"a few years after he killed my mother, my brother left, to leave home to
go to sea, I begged him to take me with him, but he insisted that I stay
here with father, as I was too young , father heard me beg and after my
brother left, father he, he beat me" Ichabod breathed deeply "I waited for
six years for my brother to come back for me, hen he did it was father's
funeral"
Ichabod's face was bitter, an Katrina squeezed his hand, making him relax
slightly
"was that your brother, earlier on?" she whispered to him
"yes, that was Jack.he's changed a lot since I last saw him." Ichabod said
looking down
"why don't you give him a chance then?" Katrina asked quietly, her face
full of innocence
"you truly have got an enchanting heart" he said finally and kissed her on
the forehead, and then drifted back to sleep.

that was chapter 2! folks
I know that it is the wrong timeline people, but I'm going to carry on with
it anyway.
I find it intriguing to see two completely different characters be in so
much conflict.
The reason Ichabod is a little **coughs** different is because Jack is his
sibling, I think most people act differently to their siblings, for example
I've stabbed, smothered and strangled my brother whereas I would not do it
to anyone else, the same rule applies here (
Thank you everyone who has reviewed, I really was surprised to see so many
in my email account when I got home, give or take not all of them were as
pleasant, as others but its still nice to see that my work is read
sometimes ^^
As Will may say
'a craftsman is always pleased to see his work appreciated' (or words to
that effect)
until next time then,
