Wow lots of reviews on that last half! Thanks again for them I really love them. Also if you are reading this and not reviewing I would really like you to review. Tell me what you like about the story, certain things the characters do or stuff like that.

Malsie- I am kinda doing this whole let the reader use their imagination (or they are just standing there) if it doesn't say what they are doing. If they are doing an important movement I will write what it is. Thank you for telling me what thought it needed and I promise I am not being sarcastic. Trust me you will know when I am.

Chapter 17

"So love how long did ye want to stay? Another hour or so?" Jack said as he brushed aside a stray hair from Kat's face. "I mean if ye want to leave now I can get the ship ready."

"Jack." Kat smiled, she knew that her father and Jack were never going to get along. "I want to stay as long as it takes for my father and me to get to know each other."

"Love I can tell ye all bouts him and your sister. They are both crazy and how he raised a perfect daughter like ye I will never understand."

"Jack I want to get to know them I mean you didn't hate them before. Right?" Kat looked over at Jack who was trying his best to give an 'I'm so innocent face', but Jack was as innocent looking then any woman Jack had ever met on Tortuga. "Jack when you asked my father for permission to marry me you didn't hate him then did you?"

"Well I didn't hate him then." Jack dragged out the last word as if to make a point. "Later, when we were plannin the wedding I got annoyed. It wasn't until after did I hate him."

"What did he do to you that made you hate him? I don't understand, was it that he blamed you?" Kat sat up and pulled the blanket around her.

"No I never hated yer father for that. I hated him cause…….well it doesn't matter." Jack put his hand under her chin and pulled her face close to him. The touch of her soft skin was enough to drive him crazy. Her eyes could speak to his soul. "I have ye now and that does matter."

Kat pulled away and stared at the wall. "It does matter, if I know what it is then we can get past it."

Jack sat up and embraced Kat. "Love." Jack inhaled deeply. "I don't know if ye will even believe me."

"I believe everything you tell me. Well most things" Kat laughed and rested her head on his shoulder. "Tell me Jack. Please?"

Jack was just starting to speak when everything went black. Kat felt like she was trapped in a bottomless pit, falling and falling fast. She screamed out Jack's name, but no call came in return, not even her own. She looked down and saw a growing light. She couldn't see exactly what was happening but she could tell there were people running around in horror. As she got closer she could tell that it was a town, her town and it was burning. Then with a jolt she landed on the ground. She was shaky but found enough strength to lift herself up. Fir was everywhere around her, people were screaming and running for their lives, from what she could not tell. One woman tripped in front of her and she went to go help her but when she reached for her, she was unable to touch her.

"They can't see ye darling." It was the same man Kat had seen from the ship a few days ago during the storm. "Try all ye want."

"What have you done?" Kat was crying now not even understanding why.

"Ye always ask what I am doin. Ye are askin the wrong questions dear. By the way me name's Lennet Paa, Jack will know it." He winked at her and started walking away.

"What am I suppose to ask you then?" Kat yelled in desperation.

"What ye want to ask dear. Ye know what it is." He continued to walk but Kat was determined to keep up with him

"Who is the man that is coming after us?" Kat started at him hoping this time he would answer.

"That is the right question. I have the answer to it too. I alone know who it is." he walked away again but his time Kat could not keep up. Everything started to go dim again.

"Kat! Love please! Don't do this to me again! I can't!" Kat opened her eyes to only look upon the distressed face of her beloved. "Love." Jack held her in him arms, still weeping.

"Jack. I saw that man again he- he told me" Kat could barely get out the words she was so tired. "He knows who it is, who he is."

"Love what happened?' Jack was still holding her close trying now not to cry. "Ye were fine then ye just stopped breathin. I didn't know what to do I couldn't bare to lose you again."

"Our home was burning. He said that he alone knew who was coming, but he didn't tell me who. The man said that his name was Lennet Paa; he said you would understand it. Kat was taking quick short breathes.

"Rest love we will figure it all out soon." Jack rocked her to sleep, his heart beating fast.
