Chapter 2: Another Man
Kaitlin got dressed into a long gold dress and tied her hair up, trying to at least look presentable in town until she went to work. She then ran down the steps, past her parents, and into the town. When she arrived, no one was on the street. It was as deserted as it was the night she freed Jack and the Captain. Jack.Jack, why haven't you returned? she thought as she walked onto the dock at looked at the water. She took a deep breath and then walked toward her house.
Soon, the streets became bustling with activity. Navy officers patrolled the streets and every man had his eyes on her. "Don't they get it.I hate them!" she said to herself as she continued to walk, hoping that she would find something she was looking for.
Later that evening, Kaitlin came home from the blacksmith shop with dirt and sweat all over her men's clothing. She carried her dress at her side and felt much more comfortable without it. Kelly was pacing on the front steps until her eyes caught Kate walking toward her. "MISS, where on earth have you been?"
"Working-"
"Hurry, you must come," she said as she grabbed Kaitlin and pulled her up the stairs and into her bedroom.
"Kelly, what is the meaning of this?"
"Miss Kaitlin, dinner will be starting within the next hour!"
"Yes.what's your point?"
"Your parents have brought someone to the house to cheer you up. He's quite handsome and a real fine man." Kaitlin's eyes widened as she darted to her bathroom and cleaned up. When she got out, Kelly had picked out a formal ivory and pink colored dress with a beautiful gold trim. She helped Kate get her corset on and put the dress over it. "This isn't comfortable, is it Miss?"
"No.but I don't seem to have a choice now do I?"
She then tied her hair up and ran down the stairs with a smile. It disappeared when she saw the man standing in the foyer. He was a tall man with blonde hair and beautiful green eyes. "Kaitlin, I would like you to meet Mr. David Norrington. He's the cousin of Commodore Norrington and he has been waiting to meet you," Will said as he took his daughter's hand and placed it in David's.
"It's a pleasure, Miss Turner," he said as he kissed Kate's hand, not noticing the disgusted look on her face.
"You too.Mr. Norrington," she replied as they all entered the dining room. He sat down across from her and watched her as she ate her dinner. "So, you are Norrington's cousin, is that right?"
"Yes, Mr. Turner.and one day my uncle says that I'll be in his place," he said with a look of pride. Kaitlin started to fiddle with her ruby ring and glance occasionally at Dave. He was only into himself.she could see it in his eyes. "May I please be excused," she said as she stood up and nodded to her father. Kaitlin walked briskly out of the room and sat on the front steps. She looked up at the black sky that seemed more dark and depressing than normal. "Nice night," she heard a man say.
"Mr. Norrington-"
"Dave.if you please."
"Sorry.Dave, I just don't want to be bothered right now."
"Your father said that you fell in love with a pirate.and that he left you." Kaitlin looked up at Dave and stood up, staring him straight in the eyes. There was anger and distrust in her eyes and it began to scare David. "Miss Turner-"
"Don't you ever.EVER say that he left me!"
"But I-"
"NO! I helped him escape a hanging.along with his father and the crew. You can't tell me that he left me.do you understand?"
"You know that you're not very lady-like.I like your attitude though." Kaitlin was about to say something, but she knew that if she did, there would only be more trouble in her future. "Listen, I have to go now.so I'll see you soon, Miss Turner," David said as he touched her chin and walked down the steps toward his home. Kate glared at him as she watched him disappear into the night.
"Kaitlin," she heard someone say as she turned around to face both of her parents.
"Yes.can I help you?"
"No attitude right now please," Elizabeth said as she took a step toward her daughter, "Why did you push him away?"
"Mother, did you listen to anything he said? All he did was talk about himself and how great he's going to become."
"And the pirate you love didn't do that once?"
"Actually, he spoke more about me than anything else."
"Silence!" Will yelled at the both of them, "I've had enough! Elizabeth, you leave your daughter alone. Kaitlin, you are never going to see that pirate again.so don't even think it! Forget about him and move on, DAMN IT! You will find a man here at Port Royal and marry him."
"You can't tell me what to do. I'm an adult-"
"You may be an adult, but you live in my house.my house, my rules.got it?" Kaitlin glared at her father and ran up to her room, slamming the door behind her.
