Authors Note: This will be a rather short chapter…kinda like my others (smirk) because this is Dinah's dream. But it's a repeating dream. So the dream she woke up sweating from in chapter 5, this is the same one. Just wanted to tell you that. Now enjoy dear readers!
Dinah opened her eyes to see fog all around her. She was on a ship but it wasn't the Pearl. At least she didn't think it was the Pearl. She was getting sea sick, which rarely happens, the water must be a bit choppy. She thought to herself. She stood up and started walking around the ship.
She saw her mother drinking tea, standing up, wearing a beautiful dress but wearing sea boots. "Mother?" She called out. Her mom turned and smiled.
"Dinah Darling! You're just in time!"
"In time for what mom?" She asked, coming closer.
"The wedding of course!"
Dinah gave her mom a confused look, "Who's getting married?"
"Now Dinah, don't treat me like an idiot! The wedding of the two most perfect people in the world!"
"Okay mom…whatever you say…" Dinah said walking off more confused than she was when she started talking. She went up the steps to the helm and found Gibbs, drinking liquor of some sort, but wearing slacks and a jacket.
"Gibbs! Dressed for the wedding perhaps?"
"That daft man made me his bloody best man!" He said while starting to walk away.
"Who did!?"
No answer. This is absurd. Who the heck is getting married? If Gibbs knows them then I surely do! I'll go find Ana Maria – she'll know.
Dinah walked to the cabin and saw Ana Maria dressed in her blue and white silk dress, with her hair half way up and curly. "What the heck are you wearing!?"
"Your dress, mate, you told me I could!"
"You know what you remind me of?"
Ana looked at her.
"You look like a little kid! Don't you remember when you used to dress like that!?"
"Aye, no wonder I got out of the despicable habit. You can't do anything in this dress! And where am I supposed to put my knife?"
Dinah rubbed her forehead, and then pointed to her cleavage that was now more exposed. Dinah had to admit, the dress showed off her figure wonderfully. Ana looked at her chest and laughed, "How am I supposed to get my knife down there!?"
Dinah shrugged, "That's your problem. I haven't carried a knife in years."
Ana looked at Dinah and felt her forehead, "You feelin' a'right?"
"Yes, I'm fine!" She said, pushing away the hand.
"Then why did you say you haven't carried a knife in years?"
"Oh I dunno…maybe because I haven't…?"
Ana lifted up Dinah's pant leg to reveal the knife. Dinah took it out of its holding place around her leg and looked at it.
"Humph. Now how did that get there?"
Ana rolled her eyes and turned it over to reveal an ascription on the handle. Dinah read it, "To my love." She looked into Ana's eyes which were dark brown and hard to read.
"Get outta my way, I need to get some air because I think I'm going crazy and you need to get dressed." And with that Ana left. Dinah was left with a ton of questions and no one to answer them. I guess I could go to Jack…but he would be all smug about it…no…this is driving me insane. She thought as she exited the cabin, but on her way to Jack's cabin she heard a tune.
She looked around and everyone was sitting down. Her mother, her dad, Katherine, her brother – James and old friends from home. Must be time for the wedding. But why all my friends? She gasped at what this could mean. She hid quickly as Ana started walking down the aisle. Next came Gibbs then finally…the image made her want to throw up. It was her and Jack. Jack looking clean and pristine and her looking beautiful but in a RED wedding dress. Yes, red was his favorite color, but come on!
She stayed put 'til the end of the ceremony and when Jack kissed the fake her, something inside wanted to lash out…but she waited. Afterwards everyone jumped in the water. Clothes and all. When everyone was in the water Dinah slowly walked to the edge of the boat. Jack saw her and called her in.
"Don't be afraid, just jump in! I'll catch you!" Dinah thought for a minute and then agreed. It looked awfully tempting. She got up on the edge and was about to jump when she heard something behind her. She looked but saw nothing. She turned back around and was about to jump once more but that voice bothered her again.
She looked down. "Ignore that voice, Dinah, I love you and I want you here with me, Jump!"
She wavered at first but then she decided what she was going to do to. She…
Authors Note: Sorry guys, to leave yuh hanging, but you all are probably thinking to yourself, "I know she's gunna jump!" But is she? Why would she jump? And who is this voice that warns her not to jump? Is it her self-conscience? Is it someone else? Find out in the next Chapter!
