Ok it has been forever and a half since I have written anything and no one will probably read this any more but it is worth a shot.
Chapter 10
Kat looked at herself in the mirror and realized that she was smiling for the first time in a very very long time. She understood now that she did love Jack, but after being away from him so long how could she ever get to know him again. She had been changed. Kat remembered everything from both times.
'How am I ever going to be able to forget the life I had. Of course it wasn't the best but I was still there.'
Katie pulled up her hair and decided she didn't like it.
'I look like a fancy-dancy women not a pirate' she looked at her dress it was flowing on to the ground. She grabbed her sword and cut it below her knees ' I wonder if Jack will care that I ripped it' she let her hair, which was long and curly, flow down her back. When she was satisfied she walked on to deck.
"Love? Bloody hell." Jack said appearing from behind the door.
"Are ye mad that I cut the dress?" Kat was scared that he would be but from the look on his face she didn't think he was.
"No I'm mad that I don't have enough time to ravish you senseless. Thou I think the men would be just fine without me for at least five hours." Jack made his trademark grin and did his saucy walk over to her. "What do ye say love?" He grabbed her and pulled her close and whispered. "Or do ya need more time then that?"
"Jack I am not quite ready for that. I love you very much but I am just not ready."
An expression of disappointment flashed on Jack's face. "Well love when ye are ready let me know. Lets go, we need to get a few things." Jack and Kat got into the small boat and rowed to the pier. When they got to the pier Jack walked off a few feet in front of her.
'I know that Jack loves me but I also know it is probably very difficult for him because I won't well…..' Kat kept contemplating her decision as she walked down the streets trying to keep up with Jack.
Jack turned a corner and into a small shop that you would pass by if you didn't know it was already there.
"Love right here." Jack called back.
The shop was dark and musty. There was nothing really in there except a few little trinkets hanging from the wall.
"What is this place?" Kat asked. Jack was standing at a short counter.
"This is-"
"Madam Sura's dress shop." An old woman appeared from behind a curtain. "I suspect you wouldn't remember since the last time I was dressing you, you were getting married."
"Wait I remembered everything. I mean I think I do."
"Probably not everything dearie, think of the things you do remember. They only have Jack in them. Do you remember what your father looks like or your sister?"
"Well actually no I don't. Why did I only remember the things with jack?"
"Cause dearie that is why you came back. To be with him"
"Technically I came back because a little girl sent me here, I think"
"Yes she did she is a descendent of mine, we have a gift you see, for seeing people as they really are. In your case you were of this time and she knew it so she sent you back."
"Yes well we are here today for dresses." Jack rudely interrupted.
"Of course. Well you haven't changed much from when I last saw you except maybe in the chest." Madam Sura said as she walked behind the curtain.
Kat looked over at Jack who was looking over at her but not at her face.
"Is she right Jack have I changed?" Kat grinned
"Yes love ye have and I am sorry bout earlier. I love you and I know you aren't you completely yet." Jack hugged her and kissed her on the forehead.
"Jack did we…… you know, a lot?"
"Well love actually we didn't have the time. We had only been married for three days."
"So we never?"
"Oh no we did, but only once."
"Dearie I still have your dresses. I believe they will fit you."
"Thanks Sura." Jack said as he took the dresses.
"Good luck you two and if you need anything more you come here."
Jack and Kat got into the boat again and rowed back towards the ship. Jack took the dresses back to their room and came back on deck where Kat was waiting.
"I have a couple more things to get for the ship. Why don't ye go spend some time with Elizabeth while I go get them?"
"You don't want me to go with ya?" Kat put on her pouty face.
"No love I just think it would be good if ye got to know Elizabeth, it will be good for ye to talk to another woman."
"Alright."
"Do you need me to walk ye over there?"
"Oh yes Jack because I can't walk across the plank to the other ship." Kat started to walk towards the plank. Then with a thud she ran into the side of the ship. "Guess maybe you should stay over here until I cross."
Jack just smiled as he watched her go across.
Wow it feels great to be writing again. Probably not that great still. Thanks to anyone who is reading this. I will try my best to keep it up.
