Chapter 14: Speaking Terms
Kaitlin grabbed the Captain's spyglass from his waist and focused on the ship behind them. It was a ship of the fleet, and she knew exactly who was aboard it. "Captain.we have a problem."
"Isn't it just a pirate ship?"
"No.there's an English flag. It's Norrington.they're coming for us.coming for ME!"
"Okay, all we have to do is not panic," Sparrow replied as he saw the crew come up to the helm.
"What be the problem, Jack?"
"Gibbs, Miss Turner says it's Norrington.that's the problem."
"Damn that bastard te hell! Will he n'er leave us alone?"
"No.and it's all because we have Kaitlin with us. Though, it was her choice to come with us." Those words caused Kate to turn around and glare evilly at the Captain. "Now love, that came out wrong."
"No, I think it came out perfectly. Do you find me a problem? 'Cause if ya do, I can gladly turn us all in so we can ALL DIE!" she shouted as she darted down to her cabin and slammed the door. The Captain's son soon came running up to the helm and looked carefully at his father. "What did ye do now?"
"I didn't mean what I said and now she's gone mad again. We've also got Norrington following us to make things better," Captain Sparrow said sarcastically.
Aboard the Dauntless II, Commodore Norrington and Dave both stood at the helm, watching the Black Pearl in the distance. "Told you we'd catch them."
"Yes, and you were right, Commodore. How long do you think it will be before we actually capture them and take them back to port?"
"At least another day or so. That Captain Sparrow still does not know who he is matched up against."
"I agree.what a stupid pirate he is. At least I'll get a woman out of this deal, but do you think she'll go for it and marry me to spare her life?"
"David, she's a woman. Women don't want to die, so she will therefore belong to you. It will also be quite amusing to let her watch her 'friends' get that 'short drop and sudden stop' they deserve." They both laughed happily at the thought of hanging pirates and focused their attention back on the horizon line.
It was soon nightfall and young Jack Sparrow knocked on Kaitlin's bedroom door. There was no answer so he opened it and found her sleeping. Her long hair was sprawled out over the pillows and she was lying on top of the covers in a long, white nightgown that had cross stitching down the center on her chest and down her arms. Jack smiled and quietly strolled over to her, pulling the blankets out from under her and covering her entire body. Kaitlin stirred but did not wake, so Jack decided to kneel beside the bed and watch her sleep. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. Even when she was angry and wanted to strangle him with her bare hands.she was still an angel. Kate moaned softly as she felt a hand on her cheek and her eyes fluttered open. "Jack, what are you doing in my room?"
"I just wanted to talk to you and apologize for my father's behavior."
"It doesn't matter.I still hate you and him. For one single moment today I thought you both had changed, but you're both still the same slim covered-" Kate couldn't finish her sentence because Jack had quickly brought his lips to hers, hovering over her. She didn't know what to do. His hands cupped her face as he deepened the kiss and laid her completely on her back, snuggling up next to her on the bed. Jack's lips, his touch, his passion.all of it was unbelievable and made Kate shudder. He finally pulled away and looked deeply into her eyes with a smile. "I missed you Jack," she whispered.
"How long has it been since we kissed like that?"
"Weeks now.weeks, but I'm glad you didn't give up on me, Jack." He shifted on the bed so that Kaitlin could rest her head on his chest. She could feel his steady breathing and his warmth. It was a new sensation she hadn't felt before, even though she had been dating him for a while. "Kate, ye know how much I love ye, right?"
"Of course I know.and you know that I care about you. Has something been on your mind lately?"
"No, but I've been so worried about you for these past few weeks. Now Norrington's getting closer to us and I don't know what'll happen if he does catch us. I know we'll die, but I don't want to lose you again."
"When did you ever lose me?" Kate asked as her eyes drifted up to his.
"I lost you when I left Port Royal."
"You have no choice. It was for your survival, but you came back-"
"Then I lost you again a few weeks ago when you grew angry at me father and me. It was the most horrible time of my life." Kaitlin rolled over so that her face was only inches away from Jack's and her chin rested on his chest. "It was bad for me too ya know. I missed when you would hold me, but I couldn't really trust you after I saw what your father was like."
"What do ye mean?"
"Drunk.he was damn drunk and scared the crap out of me. You don't do that do you?"
"Do what?" Jack asked questionably.
"Get drunk like that for no reason.put a gun to a woman's head.deny it." She trailed off in mid-sentence and relaxed as she closed her eyes and fell asleep with Jacks' arms around her.
