Hello, I'm back with the next chapter. I forgot to warn you that I usually
have a couple of typo's when I write stories that I don't catch until it's
too late to fix them. Please bear with me.
Chapter One: Hint of Love
Katherine stared out of the window of Governor Swann's house. She was thinking about the sailor, Thomas, whom she last saw four years ago. She was sailing from England to Port Royal to live with his family. But after his death, she was unwelcome to live there. Therefore, Governor Swann took her in and servants looked her after. Though she was never thought of as a servant but part of the family and Elizabeth's best friend.
"Katherine? Katherine!" Elizabeth said breaking Katherine's gaze.
"What? Oh, sorry," Katherine said.
"That's the third time today. Are you all right?" Elizabeth asked.
"Yes, I'm fine. It's just an old memory," Katherine said.
"Alright, do you still want to help me with the wedding plans?" Elizabeth asked.
"Of course! I would never leave you on your own to plan the wedding," Katherine said smiling looking across Elizabeth's shoulder to make sure her eyes would not meet hers.
Elizabeth and Katherine worked all day planning. Elizabeth would usually be babbling about the perfect wedding and how wonderful Will is. Katherine would usually tune Elizabeth out until she stopped babbling. The necklace that Thomas gave her was still with her to that very day, resting peacefully in a drawer. It's perfectly cut diamond covered in dust so that its glint was gone. She vowed never to open the drawer in her entire life.
Dinner that night was quiet, just as the night before. Katherine left the house after dinner for a walk. She aimlessly walked into the town fingering the crystal heart pendant around her neck. The town was unnaturally empty. Almost every street had no people on it. A strange fog clung to the ground giving the town a haunted look. Katherine's breath quickened until a hand touched her shoulder. She gasped loudly and spun around.
"It's alright. It's only me," A familiar voice said.
"Will?" Katherine said.
"Are you sure you want to be out here?" Will said trying to look for an emotion in Katherine's eyes making her turn away every time.
"I was just about to go back," Katherine said looking down.
Will put his hand on her shoulder. "Are you alright?"
Katherine's heart fluttered at his touch and voice. 'No this can't be happening! Not again. I can't fall in love, no!' Katherine said in her head.
"I'm fine," Katherine said running away from Will.
'I can't stay by him too long. Before I know it, my eyes will wander to his and he'll die. I won't go through the same thing that I did with Thomas.'
Katherine broke into a sprint and ran into the house. She quickly sped up the stairs and into her room. She stared out of the window. All was to quiet. Something was coming. Her hands bolted to her pendant and she quickly tried to take it off. A stinging sensation jolted through her hands. She pulled her hands away from the pendant and looked at it in the mirror. It was shining a blood red color.
"It's never done that before," Katherine said quietly to herself. She moved to the bed and tried to go to sleep. Uneasiness spread over her. What she mostly didn't want to happen was going to happen, and it would be tonight.
I know my chapters are short and I'm sorry. Thank you for reviewing BURN THE R.U.M and fasterlearner. I'll try to update soon. I hope the next chapter is longer.
