Chapter Thirteen
The next morning found Kate exhausted and irritable. After waking from the not so pleasant dream, sleep had completely eluded her. While she watched the sky turn from pink to orange she once again fell into thought about what she had seen.
It hadn't been an ordinary dream by any means and somehow it had managed to get under her skin enough to prevent her from sleeping. The whole thing was frustrating enough without elusive dreams interfering and it only made matters worse to think that the one helping her through all this was the one person in the world she despised most. Or at least that was what she believed anyway...
None of the small tidbits mattered though, it was of no importance she reasoned. She had come to the island with the sole purpose to find that treasure and make herself rich in the end. Not under any circumstances had she expected to get caught up in a obscure mystery that she would otherwise have found little interest in.
In the beginning she had only thought to find the legendary treasure, with a little help granted, and respect her father's memory by carrying out his dying wish.
The latter thought brought on a wave of dark memories that washed numbly over her. It was just one more thing she had pushed to the recesses of her mind. Sighing she rationalized with herself. It did not a bit of good to dwell on things past and if they had anything to do with the mysterious hunt she was embroiled in, screw 'em. Those memories weren't a part of her life anymore, had ceased being part of it when she had become a pirate.
She frowned in resolve. That was why she had become a pirate. Well mostly anyway. She had wanted to leave the prissy life of her mother behind and take on the wide world that was just beyond her fingertips, a world that she could have if only she reached a little further.
After leaving her distraught mother she had embraced her new life. The absolute thrill of having her own ship and the extraordinary places and people she saw were but a small part of it. She was a captain and not only that but a pirate captain. Her dark eyes held the memory of many a man cowering before her.
She grinned licking her lips. Those were the best moments, when the cocky, arrogant men fell before her feet groveling or begging for forgiveness. She almost laughed at that, forgiveness was not something she handed out lightly. Jack could testify to that.
Jack. There he was again. No matter how hard she tried to put him out he was always invading somewhere, be it her mind or her present situation on the island.
"Kate!" A shout brought her from her deep reverie.
She looked up startled until the surprise was replaced by anger with herself and whoever had interrupted her. She raised her head up sharply her dark eyes glinting dangerously. "What?" she snapped.
She found even more to her annoyance that it was Will who was speaking to her. When he just stared she raised her eyebrows irately and snapped again, "What Will?"
Will looked at her skeptically, "You're not going to bite my head off or anything are you?"
Kate glowered, "I might. I'm in the mood for it." She paused waiting for him to continue. When he didn't she scowled fiercely, "You bloody well better get it out or I will literally bite your head off."
Will pressed his lips together in a thin line before he said, "I, uh, can't find Jack."
Kate's fierce eyes burst into flames, "What do you mean?"
Will sighed, "Exactly what I said. He's no where to be found."
Glowering once more Kate and glared at the wall of trees. She'd been in a bad enough mood as it was, she didn't need a man hunt to add to her troubles that morning. She looked again at Will who was still standing motionless about ten feet away. "Has anyone looked for him?"
Will shook his head, "We just noticed he was gone and I noticed you were awake so I thought maybe you would know where he was."
Kate gritted her teeth and took a deep breath. "Damn it Jack," she muttered. "I don't have time for this." Looking at Will once more she said, "Stay here with the rest of the crew just in case he comes back. If I'm not back in ten minutes send Pitney out and tell her I followed the face of the cliff."
"You can't go out there alone," Will said. "You're a---" He cut himself short already seeing the temper flaring in her eyes.
She smirked in his direction, "Glad you've finally learned to silence that bloody tongue." She slung her pistols on her hips, a gun sitting on each side. She fastened her cutlass to her gun belt and slipped a dagger against her thigh.
She wasn't taking any chances. It was one thing to be caught off guard in a strange place, but it was an entirely different one if you were armed and your name happened to be Kate Morgan. With a last cursory glance over her weaponry she nodded to Will. "Ten minutes."
He nodded but didn't respond. She turned on her heel and left the Glen to come into the dense covering of trees.
The forest she noticed was filled with an unusual amount of sound that morning. The rush and whisper of living things moving about was borne on the breeze and the soft singing of skylarks filled the air.
But as she listened she recognized another form of singing floating through the air, a particularly familiar sort. As she listened it soon became apparent that whoever or whatever it was, was seriously smashed.
She moved forward through the forest and as she got closer the familiar voice told her that she was in major trouble. It was Jack and somehow or another he had gotten a hold of alcohol and proceeded to get sloshed.
Normally something that trivial would have made her roll her eyes in amusement but it was an entirely different situation then she would normally be in. They were on a remote island where the only rum or alcohol was on the ships.
"What have you gotten yourself into Captain Jack Sparrow?" she muttered and winced as Jack bellowed a particularly bad verse of a Pirate's Life For Me.
"We're devils, we're black sheeps, we're really bad eggs! Drink up me 'earties yo ho!"
"Oh honestly," Kate sighed as she fought her way through the underbrush. The things that she had to put up with when he was around were ridiculous. When she finally cleared a path through the seemingly impenetrable rows of trees she came out to find herself looking at a very drunk, very dissipated captain.
Scowling she moved across the small clearing to come to Jack's side.
His sideways grin leered up at her, "'Ello luv. Care to 'ave a sip?"
"No damn it," Kate replied none to softly. "Where did you get rum?"
He proceeded to answer her but the answer was lost among the already slurred voice made worse by the alcoholic influence.
Kate's eyes narrowed, "Concentrate Jack!"
His gaze which had lingered considerably lower then her face shot up to stare into her eyes, "Cosetrate? Wha for?" His eyelids began to slide shut.
She closed her eyes willing the rage building up inside her to go back down and shook him. "Oh no you don't. We have to keep going this morning whether you're sober or not." Once again she was brought back to the question of where exactly he had come by the rum bottle in his hand. Shaking him sharply again she snapped, "Where did you get the rum?"
He looked at her curiously, "Rum? Do you have rum? I like rum, good stuff it is."
"Oh for God's sake!" Kate spat. Frustrated she stood up and immediately felt the hair on the back of her neck rise. She was being watched. Her eyes darted back and forth for any sign of movement or color and her hands instinctively drew her pistols.
Of a sudden her heart iced over with dread and she had the strangest feeling she was back in her dream from the previous night. As if on cue a hand clamped down on her shoulder. She uttered a strangled scream as the strong hand dug into her shoulder blade and whipped her around.
What she saw caused her face to drain of all color and her mouth dropped open in a silent scream, her guns forgotten. Shivers ran up and down her spine causing her whole body to become raked in shudders. Her whole body had gone cold and she was no longer sure her legs would hold her up.
"Oh god this can't be happening," she squeaked. And it couldn't. There was no possible way for her to be seeing what she was at that moment. She muttered under her breath, "This is to far Pandora."
The figure in front of her that had caused her outright horror spoke and his voice was a familiar one. One that had been warm once but now it only managed to send her into terrified shudders.
"Pandora had nothing to do with it this time," he replied. "Although I never considered using her. Oh well it's something for the future anyway."
Kate was staring truly aghast at his nonchalance. She opened her mouth and a mellow whisper escaped her lips, "Who the hell are you?"
The older man in front of her smirked, "Well I would expect my own daughter to recognize her father."
Kate sputtered out unintelligible words. Shaking herself mentally she closed her eyes getting her bearings back. She was on an enchanted island where mythological creatures could mess around with her at will. The image of her father before her couldn't be real. There was no way...
She opened her eyes and looked at him, "Are you a ghost?"
"A ghost?" he snorted with laughter. "No not a ghost just merely a sight for sore eyes I imagine. It's been awhile Kate. My little girl has grown up."
She was now staring bewildered at him, "If you're not a ghost what are you? My father died years ago."
The man scowled, "You think Bill Morgan could be killed that easily? Nay, how do you think you survived all these years? You had my instincts."
"My father died," Kate gritted out. "He died in a tavern called The Deep."
He nodded, "At least that's what you thought you saw. It's to bad though. Nice place but I had to slit the bartenders throat."
She shook her head, "You are not real. This must be a dream."
She saw him scowl again and he moved forward out of the shadows. She looked into the mirror image of her dark almost black eyes and suddenly knew it was all real.
He grinned as he saw surrender in her eyes, "Ah luv. You've taken care of yourself. Made a name for yourself as well. But there's one bloke I never expected to grace you with his company." He motioned to Jack who was now unconscious on the ground.
Kate scowled. This was wrong. Her father had died right before her eyes, hadn't he? And how the hell did he know so much about her life if he really hadn't died? She wanted answers and she wanted them now.
"Don't talk to me like you haven't been gone all these years," she snapped. "I want answers. Where have you been? Why did you make me believe you died? And how did you know I was here?"
"There's the beauty of it," he told her. "Did you actually see me die?" He paused as he saw her frown and then went on. "Did you ever hear about my crew after that about Shaw maybe adopting a ship of his own? No you didn't because my crew stayed with me and I didn't die."
Kate frowned, "Why? What's going on here that I'm not seeing?"
He sighed and lifted up the chain that held the pendant he had given her on the night long ago. "This is why. The treasure is why. This whole island is why."
She remained confused as he let go of the pendant and looked at her again. "That makes no sense," she replied and now the anger was starting to seep into her veins. "And how have you survived all these years without anyone knowing about you?"
"This island of course," he replied. When Kate didn't offer an answer only looked more confused he elaborated. "I'd been here many times before I gave you that map and I had made many attempts at getting to the treasure before I handed it over to you."
Kate glared angrily at him, "So why hand it over to me?"
One side of his mouth lifted in a half smile, "Because luv there is only one person on the entire earth at this moment that can get a hold of that treasure."
Kate sighed, "Who is that?"
Bill Morgan grinned at his daughter, "Why you of course."

James elbowed Sirius rather hard in the rib cage. Looking around at him he asked, "What?"
"Do you see her yet?" James replied.
Sirius rolled his eyes, "No. It's kind of hard to miss Lily with that red hair." James sighed and went back to scanning the crowd. Sirius grinned. Aside from Remus Lupin, James Potter was his best friend, had been since before he could remember. And James had also been in love with Lily Evans for as long as he could remember.
The previous year, their fifth year at Hogwarts, James and Lily had finally reached a climax and decided that all their years hating each other had been pointless and now you had to pry them off each other when they were in the same room.
Now only ten minutes after they had arrived at Platform 9 ¾ he was frantically searching for her. Sirius loved Lily as much as the next person and he had to hand it to her, she had James whipped.
"What is he doing?" Remus asked as he joined Sirius and James on the platform.
"Hey Moony," Sirius said in response before he turned to look at James who was standing as far up on his feet as he could manage. Sirius grinned, "I believe he's looking for Lils."
Giving up James turned back to his friends, "I can't see anything in this crowd. Let's go get a compartment before they get to full. Hey Moony when did you get here?"
"While you were in desperate search of a certian red head," Remus responded with a grin.
James grinned right back, "Hey I saw her twice this summer cut me a little slack here."
"Yeah, yeah," Sirius said but stopped when he spotted that certain red head moving towards them through the throngs of people. "There she is."
They all turned to look at Lily who happily at them. James ran over to meet her and she met him with a kiss. As Sirius watched them laughing his eyes slid over Lily's two best friends Arabella Figg and Miranda Peters to a girl he didn't know but immediately wished he did.
She had great legs and long, dark chocolate hair. Her brow eyes sparkled with laughter as she was introduced to James and he all but drooled when she grinned. She made a comment to James and still laughing he turned and beckoned Sirius and Remus over.
Remus nudged Sirius in the arm and he looked at him confused, "Yes?"
Remus grinned, "Put your tongue back in your mouth and let's go talk to her."
Nodding vigorously Sirius followed him over. He grinned when she stuck her hand out and said, "Hey I'm Mo. You must be Sirius. From what I've heard you're the person to talk to for pranks correct?"
Sirius nodded and James feigned hurt, "What about me?"
Sirius looked from Mo to his best friend, "Well naturally if you get me you get James and Remus and if you get James Lily has to come along and then Bella and Miranda will tag along to so you're basically talking to the whole crowd."
She grinned, "Works for me." She looked him straight in the eye and wink.
"This ought to be an interesting train ride," Sirius thought and helped James and Remus get everyone's trunks on the train.
