Chapter 12: Trust and Battles
The next morning came more quickly than Kaitlin had imagined. The last thing she remembered was that she was up in the crow's nest with Jack.but now she was in a room, and it certainly did not belong to her. She then felt the warmth of another, and when she turned her head sideways she saw Jack lying beside her. Luckily, he was fully-clothed, so she looked down at herself and sighed with relief. Her clothes were still on as well. However, the idea of lying in a bed with her man made her feel safe and unsafe at the same time.
Kaitlin carefully tried to slip out of the bed, but a strong arm grabbed her waist and pulled her back. When she glanced back up at Jack, his eyes were still closed. She sighed again and rolled out from underneath his arm and she landed on the floor with a loud thud. When she sat up, she saw that Jack was still sound asleep, so she crept to the door and slipped out without a sound. When she reached the main deck, there was an eerie fog all around her that made her shiver. Kate turned around and saw a figure up at the helm, so she ran up to see the Captain. To her surprise, he wasn't there.it was Anamaria. "What are ye doing up here so early?"
"Anamaria, have you seen Captain Jack? I need to talk to him about something."
"He's in his cabin, at least he was the last time I saw him.however.I'd be careful if I were ye."
"Why?"
"Well he's.oh never mind. Just go and see him if ye want."
"Yes.I will," Kate replied with a sharp tone as she walked down the stairs and opened the Captain's door. There was a creepy silence as she shut the door behind her and walked into his main quarters. There was Captain Jack Sparrow, sitting in a chair with his feet propped up on the table in front of him. "Captain." Kaitlin said as she took a deep breath and watched him stand up.
" 'Ello love." Those words made her straighten up and cross her arms. All of a sudden, she noticed some empty bottles on the floor next to the table. "You feel okay?"
"Yep.never better, love," he said as he staggered over to her and placed an arm over her shoulder. Kaitlin looked at the hand on her shoulder and when he exhaled she smelled something horrid. "What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Nothing.doing fine.just.f-fine," he replied as he collapsed onto her, causing her to fall onto the floor with him on top of her. She took a deep breath and pushed him off her as she stood up. "What in the hell-.he's drunk!" Carefully, Kaitlin lifted him onto her shoulders and walked over to his bed, dropping him onto it forcefully. The thought of a drunken pirate scared her half to death, but she had to help him since he had always been there for her. She quietly walked into his small bathroom and wet a cloth with some cool water. Kate then darted back into Sparrow's quarters and knelt down beside him. When she placed the cloth on his forehead, she felt a firm grip on her wrist and she found herself lying on the floor with the Captain above her. "What in hell is wrong with ye?"
"Captain, I-"
"You what.why are ye in me quarters, love?" Kaitlin watched Sparrow reach for his gun and he pointed it at her head. What was he doing to her? What was wrong with him? She started trembling and stiffened as the gun dug further into her forehead. "Captain, what are ye-?"
"Don't ye worry, love.this won't hurt," he replied quietly as his finger moved toward the trigger. She was about to scream, but Jack's other hand covered her mouth. Her eyes widened and became full of terror. All of a sudden, the cabin door flew open and the Captain's son stood in the doorway. "MMM.MMM." Kate tried to talk, but she couldn't get out a word. "FATHER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" he yelled. The Captain didn't look up.his eyes were focused on his gun and Kaitlin's forehead. Jack's son darted over to the both of them and hit his father in the jaw, knocking him flat on his back. When he seemed to be out cold, Jack scooped up Kate into his arms and carried her out of the room, locking the door behind him. He carried her to his quarters and placed her on his bed. "What just happened?"
"Jack.I woke up in here and I needed to talk to your father, so I went to see him."
"And how on earth did you end up on the floor in my father's room with a gun pointed at your head? What did you do?"
"I saw him acting unusual, so I helped him to his bed and put a cool cloth on his forehead to wake him up." Jack sat down next to Kaitlin and looked at her face with concern. She was shaking and it scared him that his own father would hurt her so. "He was drunk, ya know?"
"Yeah.I know, but why did he-?"
"I don't know.I honestly don't know. He's only been funny when drunk.never aggressive. He would never ever want to hurt you." He watched as Kate rested her head on his shoulder and started to cry quietly. "I just don't get it."
"Kaitlin, you'll be fine. I'll protect you from him."
"That's not my point. Anamaria warned me about the both of you and so far your father just made her words make sense. What will you end up doing to me.violence, rape? I certainly have a right to know."
"I would never hurt you. I Love You."
"Yeah.that's what I thought.until now," Kate replied as she stood up and crossed her arms. Her gaze seemed to pierce his soul, she was angry and that was a side of her that Jack had never seen. "How do you know what I think of you, Kaitlin?"
"I just know that I don't think I can trust you anymore."
"Why?" he asked as he stood up and stared down into Kaitlin's eyes. This caused her to back up against his door terrified. "Why are you so scared?" She gave no reply as she grabbed the doorknob and opened the door. She ran out onto the deck and to the bow of the Black Pearl.
Minutes later, Kaitlin felt a hand on her shoulder. She gulped and started to breathe deeply. "Love, are ye alright?" That voice.she knew exactly who it was. In one swift movement, she whipped out her sword and pointed it at the man's face. "Captain Sparrow, I order you to stay away from me."
"Okay, now let's calm down and put away that sword."
"NO.just get away from me." Her sword got closer to him, so he lifted his hands in the air as to show mercy. "I'm not going to harm you."
"And how do I know that? What about this morning?"
"Love, I didn't mean to-"
"Bull shit! Just stay the hell away from me before I run this through you!" The Captain knew she was serious, so he took out his sword and brushed the metal against hers, creating a horrid sound. "Look, I don't want to hurt ye," Sparrow said as he backed away with his sword out. Kaitlin lunged at him and they started to fight, causing a commotion on the deck. The entire crew, including the Captain's son, came running and stood in awe. Kate was putting up a terrific fight. She swung her blade at Jack, but he blocked her and pushed her back, making her almost loose her balance. "Gibbs, we have to stop this."
"Yep.just let's see what Miss Turner's gonna do next."
"GIBBS, NOW!" Anamaria yelled as she grabbed the collar of his shirt. He nodded and ran up behind Jack as Anamaria ran up behind Kaitlin. They both grabbed the fighters and pulled them apart. "You son-of-a-bitch, Sparrow!" Kate yelled.
"Don't you dare start with me Miss-"
"ENOUGH!" Mr. Gibbs shouted, which forced Kaitlin and the Captain to stop struggling and listen to him, "You both are acting like children. I can't stand to see the both of you fight. What provoked you both to do this?"
"Miss Turner started it!"
"Oh yeah.well Mr. Gibbs, why don't you ask your Captain about this morning!" Kate shouted as she withdrew from Anamaria's grip and ran to her cabin, slamming the door behind her.
"What happened?" Gibbs asked the Captain.
"Go ask her," he replied as he put his sword away and walked up to the helm.
