Chapter 12
"What?" Sephora smiled a bit and opened her mouth to speak, but turned suddenly as Will stepped into the room and knocked on the doorframe, as if to get their attention. Sephora jumped and Diana started, looking around and blinking. Jack sat motionless in his chair.
"Will! You scared me!" Sephora glanced back at Ruby, who was still laying in the bed, realizing that the covers had been tightly packed arpund her and she couldn't move. Sephora stood up and went over to Will, kissing him. Will looked at Ruby.
"I'm glad you're better. Gave us all a big scare, ya did," His attention turned back to Sephora and they walked out of the room. Ruby turned her head and did what she could to face Diana, who smiled a bit.
"I'm glad you're better, too," Diana threw a nervous gaze at Jack, who had moved his hand to cover his mouth, resting his elbow on the arm of the chair. "I'd better go," Diana leaned over and hugged Ruby and left the room. Ruby looked over at Jack, biting her lip.
"Jack I-" He finally broke his trance and gazed at Ruby, his stare glazed over and questioning. It made Ruby stop what she was saying. Jack gripped the arms of the chair with both hands.
"Don't worry, love," He shot her a grin that matched his stare. Ruby didn't believe it. He wasn't happy at all. She didn't return the smile, and felt he eyes begin to burn with tears. Jack stood up. "I'll meet you outside, then," and walked out of the room, looking back at her before exiting. Ruby turned her head toward the window on the opposite side of the room so he couldn't see a tear roll down her cheek. She heard him leave and took a raspy breath and quickly wiped the tear away. With some effort, she pushed the covers of the bed back and swung her legs over, reaching for her bandana. She tied it over her wavy blonde hair with skill and buckled her belt around her waist, and stood up. Her ruby ring was lying on the table. She quickly snatched it up and side it onto her finger, turning. She was immediantly faced with an image of herself, in a mirror she had never seen before. As she looked, she realized she suddenly looked older. The ruby tatoo beside her eye looked more like a tear. Ruby closed her eyes and opened them again. The image was gone. In the mirror was Captain Ruby, terror of the sea. She smiled and walked out of the room. Jack was leaning on the front door, eyes close, his hat down in fornt of his eyes. Jack and Sephora stopped kissing and looked over at Ruby as she walked toward the door. She saw Diana sitting beside the door. Jacklifted his hat and looked at her. Ruby turned around.
"Sephora, we'll be back for you andWilltommorow morning," Sephora smiled, she and Will were going to stay in Port Royal, as planned. Ruby turned back around and opened the door. She walked onto the dusty, bustling street with long strides, walking toward the dock, fast as she could. She gotthere and began pulling at the ropes that tied their rowboat there. Jack bent down to help her but she pushed him away. She got the roped untied and jumped into the boat, helping Diana climb down, Jack jumping in beside her. Ruby stared out at her boat as Jack gently rowed the boat across the bay. Diana jabbered on about something Ruby cared about, as if she was frantically trying to fill the monstrous gap between Ruby and Jack. Ruby didn't have it in her to tell Diana to be quiet, so she let her talk until her crew had pulled the rowboat unto the deck, and Diana had climbed out, annoucing how tired she was, and then hurrying below deck. Ruby followed her down to her room. She reached for the doorknob and felt a hand grip her shoulder, she jumped and spun around. It was Jack. She squinted at him, not having heard him follow her down. She turned back around and pushed the door open, walking out from under his grip. He followed her into the room. Ruby closed her eyes, sitting on the bed, her whole body aching with fatigue. She lay down, keeping her eyes closed. Jack layed down beside her and she turned away. His arms pulled her closer and she stiffened, opening her eyes, but she was so tired, she relaxed and closed her eyes again. Jack pulled her closer.
"I love you," His breathwas hot against her ear. She turned slowly and looked at him. He lightly kissed her. Ruby lowered her head, closed her eyes, and allowed herself to cry.
