Many Years Later
It was another warm day in the Caribbean and the island was wide awake. My window had a wondrous view, it was going to be a beautiful day, but I felt uneasy for some reason. Ten long years had passed since Jack left, I have not thought about Jack for some time now. Why that feeling triggered my memory of Jack I don't know and soon brushed it out of my mind.
Downstairs I could hear my mothers ever constant screeching. She calls me down every morning quarter to eight to meet a new suitor. So my maid has come in and started to make me suitable for my future husband. Ha, I laugh at the very thought of it. Many a man has tried to claim my heart but none have succeeded. Ah, quarter to, now I must make my way down as soon as my mother screeches. "Katherine, you have a visitor," in her sweetest screech. I then confidently step out the door and float down the staircase. Ugh, my eyes greet me with the sight of the young Captain Norrington of Port Royal. He grins and takes my arm and guides me to the table. Why would I need a guide to my seat? We eat a light breakfast then go for a walk along the docks. The only reason I agreed to this was because I was not allowed down there anymore. Oh yes, that was when I tried to steal Governor Swan's boat. I smile at my old memories. Norrington didn't know this; he thought I was enjoying his company! He grew bolder and was babbling about how he would like to see me again, or something to that effect. I was not listening my eyes were fixed on a ship's sails on the horizon. I was overcome with a sense of a looming power. I then suggested that we eat our midday meal, it was past noon. We bought fruit from the street venders and turned away from the docks.
I was at the main gate to the house when Norrington pulled me aside. He said, "I will see you tomorrow," he smiled at drew me in to kiss me. I yanked out of his grasp and whispered roughly, "What's wrong with you, and I will not see you tomorrow!" Then a great boom came and interjected Norrington's reply. Norrington ran towards the fort to call out his men. I looked to the docks and saw the formidable ship that I saw on the horizon. Boats were rowing to shore and every boat was filled with pirates armed to the teeth.
