Chapter 10: Truce
Will and Faye both watched as Kit slammed the door to her cabin behind her, and Jack stormed up to the helm, muttering angrily all the while.
"Well, Jack told me that you were to swab the deck again today," Will told her, getting off the subject at hand.
"Oh bloody hell! Not again!"
Will grinned at her. "Best get to work, Miss Faye." He winked and walked off to do his own work.
She walked up to a mop lying on the deck and picked it up, grumbling. "Damn deck . . ."
* * *
Later on that day, Jack looked around the ship for any signs of Kit. "Bloody hell! Where's that woman?!" He looked over at Faye accusingly.
"I don't know?"
"Tha's not gonna work with me, love. Spit it out!"
"Well, ye pissed her off earlier, so I don't know where the lass went."
Jack sighed exasperatedly. "Fine! I'll go and . . . apologize, I guess . . ."
Faye smiled. "Now that's more like it!"
Jack grumbled as he walked off in the direction of Kit's cabin.
"So Willy boy," began Faye once he was gone, "what do you suppose we do next?"
"Well, the galley is awfully filthy down there . . . Especially with Elizabeth's cooking . . . So I suggest that we clean it up."
Faye made a face. "Egh . . . If ye say so . . ." Miserably she followed him down to the galley.

Inside her cabin, Kit was practicing with her sword. It was the best way to relieve anger, she had always thought . . . And she had plenty of that now.
Jack knocked softly on the door and came in without preamble, and watched as Kit spun around practicing blocks and parries with her sword. He started towards her when she suddenly swished around, and his fast reflexes found him locking his own sword with hers.
Kit's eyes went big when she saw who was there, but then quickly narrowed. "What do YOU want?"
"I've . . . uh . . ." Jack stuttered.
"You've what?" She looked at their two swords still locked together and she swung hers away, lunging swiftly at his sword again.
He blocked her oncoming blows and staggered back, swiping this way and that with his sword. Kit was excellent with a blade, and so he had to be careful with her in an angered mood . . . He might get his ear chopped off . . .
She lunged at him from every angle. "Why aren't ye fighting back? Scared?" she taunted him.
He frowned, and leaped forward. He moved his sword every which way as she blocked them, parrying and dodging, looking for a weak spot. When he stepped to the right, she found her chance; she hit the floor and threw her leg out in front of her, knocking Jack off his own feet and his sword flying out of his hand. Kit stood above him, holding both his and her own sword.
"You've what?" she repeated.
Faye and Will, walking down the hallway after cleaning up the galley, stopped talking and watched as Jack was thrown from Kit's room.
"What in the-?" Faye started.
"Ow! I'm not sure I deserved that!" Jack yelled at the closed door leading to Kit's cabin.
"Yes ye did!" came the muffled reply.
Faye walked over and helped Jack up. "That went well, huh?" Will laughed behind them.
"Bloody . . . Ow . . . Woman . . ." Jack mumbled.
Faye walked into Kit's room, leaving the disgruntled pirate with Will. "He came to apologize, ye know that?"
"Why should I accept his apology?" Kit asked her angrily.
"Oh, I don't know . . ." Faye started to pace around the room, acting as if she knew something that Kit didn't.
"What's in yer head, lass?" Kit asked her suspiciously.
"Oh nothing . . . It's just that I know ye have a heart on yer sleeve . . ."
Kit raised an eyebrow.
"YOU know. . ." She walked up closer to her. "Don't tell me there's no feeling there?"
Kit stared at her for a second. "What?! Me, feeling? No! I mean- No! That man is a monstrosity!"
"Fine! Torment yerself with it . . . G'bye, lass." And with that, Faye walked out of the cabin.
Kit looked at her retreating back, and then frowned as she looked down to the floor.
All of a sudden Jack entered the room without knocking. "Please don't hurt me again!" he pleaded.
She started, looking towards him. "Jack!"
"'Ello, love . . ."
Kit sighed. "I won't hurt ye again . . ." She came and sat down on the bed.
"I'm . . . Erm . . . Sorry . . ." Jack mumbled.
Kit looked up. "What did you say?"
"I shouldn't be so hard on ye just because yer clumsy . . . I'm sorry." He turned around to leave, but Kit stood up and stopped him.
"Wait!"
He turned around and looked at her. "Yes, love?"
"I'm sorry that . . . that I yelled . . . I can loose me temper easily . . ."
He smiled, as Kit grinned and extended a hand. "Truce?"
"Truce."
A/N: Yay, that was fun. But anywho, there's gonna be adventure comin' up, and they meet their new crew . . . So, be good and Review us, mates!
