Chapter Twelve
My whole body started to shake in fear of seeing this man who ruined my life from that moment on. He hadn't changed at all. His hair was not as greasy, his eyes were more dull than his old, sharp, and icy blue. But his face was the same old, pox marked face that had an air of handsome-ness around it. But when you would try to detect it, you could never find it.
His mouth was curled into a smile that was so evil, I felt my heart being torn out of my chest. The memories that were being forced to the surface were so painful that the tears were rising rapidly now. He walked up to me, and placed his hand under my chin.
"Well, well, well… Look who it is boys. Its Katherine Wolfe, my ex-fucker…" His crew started to snicker. Jack, whom I could see ahead of me, looked at me with shock and pain. I gave him a look that said, "What he's saying is a bunch of shit…" hoping that he understood the look. He must have, since he nodded.
James pulled me to him and snarled in my ear so that only I could hear him, "You whore. Times have changed, I see. You've gone downscale on your men. You've gone from me, the best of the best, down to the worst, Sparrow…" I looked into his eyes, and cleared my throat.
"Actually, I've gone to the best, bastard. You see, he has more to brag about than you do…" He raised his hand and slapped me on the face. I saw Jack move upsetly, but I stood my ground. The tears were streaming down freely now.
"I knew you'd had your way with him. Your face clearly says that…But I bet you didn't enjoy it like you enjoyed it with me…" That really pissed me off right there. I turned to face him fully.
"Now that is the largest load of crap I've ever heard in my life. I hated that time with you more than any hate in this world. I've damned you to hell since that, and I hope you go soon. It's more than you deserved." He took hold of my jaw and said to me, "You'll regret ever saying that to me, wench. It's gonna be hell for you from now on." He pulled my mouth to his and kissed me, roughly.
It was the same poisonous kiss as last time. But this time, it brought more pain to my heart than I had ever known. He pulled away, as I could not really do anything to break away. Jack's face had a look I had never seen before in my life. "Now, I know you must love Jack. Admit it."
"Why should I do something like that?" I said, glaring at James.
"Because, if you don't, I'll rape you again, here and now, in front of everyone." My eyes widened involuntarily.
"I love him." I looked at Jack, and said, with all my heart. "I love you Jack. I just want you to know that." He nodded.
"I love ye too, love. Ever since I met you…" James clapped happily.
"Now, isn't that the sweetest thing you've ever seen in your life? Now prove it. Jack, kiss Katherine." Jack looked at him, and walked over to me, his hands bound.
He looked me straight in the eye and said, so softly I could barely hear him, "I'm doing this from me heart love, not because he is directing us to." His body moved me into a wall of the cave, and I soon found his lips on mine.
A fire spread through my body the moment we made contact. My limbs tingled with happiness as we made contact, and I wanted him again. My heart was beating so fast I throught it might explode. I tried to move my arms to reach him, but I couldn't because I was bound. His kisses started to strengthen, and he started to nuzzle my chin, and my neck. I leaned my head back, giggling, his goatee ticking the hairs on my neck. My eyes were closed in happiness.
I suddenly heard a gun shot pierce the air. I startled, and Jack, reluctantly, looked back at James, who looked furious and wanted to kill Jack.
"Well, James, you asked for him to kiss me. And by God, did he kiss me." I looked at Jack, and my stomach soared up into the heavens, taking my heart with him. James pulled Jack away form me and pulled my necklace out of my dress, brushing my breast along the way. The second the diamond touched his skin, his hand started to smoke. He screamed loudly, and dropped it, the pendant dropping cold and smooth on my chest.
"What magic did you place on your necklace now, witch?" HE looked at me, and smiled. "But now, I have the last key to the door, and the door is now wide open. Katherine, you will be coming with me. We have some unfinished business to attend, first starting with a treasure I must get. And your little friend Jack can come along too. Maybe his heart can break as he watches you fall in love with me again." James smiled, and pulled my weapon belt off. He motioned for the same to be done to Jack. His hat was also taken away from him.
"Now, ye don't have any means of killing me," he said, smiling. He did not get the knife I had in my boot. I had this in both of my boots that I have. The right one. I always kept one there, in case I needed it. I looked at Jack and made the slightest fraction of a wink, it almost was non-existent. But he noticed it, and smiled oh so slightly.
James untied my hands, and did the same for Jack. He pulled me along, into the black cave beyond. Jack tagged along behind us, looking around wildly. I could feel the air pressing in around me. A sudden chill over came my body, and an image crossed my mind so quickly, I almost thought it non-existent. A silhouette of a man suddenly fell, to a puddle of silvery liquid. A high-pitched scream filled my ears. I clapped my hands to them, trying to block out the horrible sound, but it kept happening. Jack rushed up to me, and put his arm around my body.
"Hands off her, Sparrow, or I shall kill ye now." He raised his hands off me, and slowed down to walk behind me. James grabbed my arm, and yanked me up to him as though he was trying to keep me away from him.
Jack stared at me, thinking deeply. "Did she see what I saw? What I heard? What will ever happen to her?"
