SPH: Hey-o! So, yeah, my mind's kinda running on empty for the authors note part so I'm just gonna do the disclaimer. I do not own Treasure Planet or any of its content, they belong to Disney. I only own Kate, all other OC's, the story and the plot. On with the story!
Chapter 15: After the Storm/Secret Past?
Jim groaned as he opened his eyes. He could feel his arms wrapped around something, or rather, someone. Blinking he realized that he was holding onto Kate and that they were both on her bed. Kate's soft, but steady breathing was the only thing telling him she was alive.
'Right, I had that stupid dream three more times and Kate ended dragging me over here, had me lay down and then told me to hold onto her so I'd hopefully stop waking her up.' He thought embarrassed, 'Guess it worked though.'
He tried to get up, but his right arm was pinned down by Kate's body and he couldn't move it at all, he'd lost all feeling in it.
"Kate," he whispered, "Kate, get up."
Kate groaned and subconsciously tried to swat him, luckily he managed to avoid it.
'And now I know why Kate was moved to a single dorm.' Jim thought, 'How do I get her up without nearly getting killed?' An idea struck him and he smirked deviously. 'She'll probably hate me for this, but if it'll get her off my arm…' he thought.
Slowly he reached his arm around Kate before tickling her stomach; he'd learned from one of her friends she was ticklish as well as that she hated being tickled.
Kate's eyes flew open as she yelped before bursting into a fit of giggles.
"S-stop!" she cried.
Jim laughed as he removed his arm.
"Okay, now can you please get off my arm?" he asked, "I literally can't feel it."
"Sorry." Kate said giggling as she sat up.
Jim had to grab his right arm and pull it to his body due to it going limp after losing feeling.
"Sorry about the rude awakening," he said rubbing his arm to try and get feeling back, "and for waking you up constantly last night."
Kate yawned.
"It's okay," she said, "I don't mind."
Jim blinked.
"You don't?" he asked, "I thought for sure you were gonna kill me for tickling you."
Kate shrugged.
"Eh, you're an exception." She said.
Jim smirked.
"Don't. Even. Think about it." Kate said glaring, "It's too early for this, I'm going back to sleep."
She flopped backward and put her pillow over her face.
Jim chuckled and got up.
"Uhm, Kate, you're gonna want to see this." He said opening the door.
Kate groaned and got up.
"What is i…" Kate started.
She gasped and covered her mouth when she saw the hallway. The windows were shattered, beams had fallen from the ceiling, and one wall had a tree through it, which seeing as there weren't any trees growing near the Benbow it just proved how bad the storm had been.
"I really hope we have enough to pay for repairs." Jim said looking at it.
"We'd better go see if everyone's alright." Kate said darting out the door.
Jim nodded and followed.
Morph blinked as he woke up and rushed after Jim just barely making it past the door before it closed.
"Mom!" Jim yelled running off the last step.
"Jim!" Sarah yelled, "Oh thank heavens!" she ran over to Jim and hugged him. "When I was your room…"
"I stayed with Kate last night." Jim said, "Pretty lucky I did or I'd probably be dead."
Sarah raised an eyebrow.
"I was really freaked out by the storm, so Jim stayed with me until we both fell asleep." Kate said. She understood Jim was embarrassed by having to stay in her room due to his dreams and wanted to spare him the humiliation.
"Well, that was sweet." Sarah said, "But yes, you're lucky you fell asleep there."
"So, can we cover repairs?" Jim asked.
Sarah nodded.
"So long as we do the work ourselves." She said.
"No problem!" Kate said, "I often was the one repairing things after my dad died, I might as well be a pro, and you already know Jim can build a solar surfer from scratch."
Sarah nodded.
"Well, we already sent the guests either home or to a different Inn and Delbert had a couple people look at the damage." She said, "We're starting on fixing the exterior then focusing on the interior, electric, and plumbing."
"So, what exactly are we going to do about the tree?" Kate asked.
"Silver and B.E.N. are already working on that." Sarah said, "I need you two to go pick up some supplies, okay? Nothing huge, Delbert's already covering getting anything that requires a wagon, just some tools, sealers, and paint."
Both Jim and Kate groaned but nodded.
Jim let out a low whistle as he and Kate walked around town.
"That storm sure did a number around here." He said.
"No kidding." Kate said.
Suddenly she spotted someone and kept her eyes on him.
"Kate?" Jim asked following her gaze.
The guy she was staring at looked very shady; he seemed to be trying to sneak away from something. He locked eyes with Kate and grinned a toothy grin before taking off. Kate raced after him.
"Kate!" Jim yelled running after her.
Kate followed the guy back into an alleyway before grabbing him by the collar and slamming him into a wall just as Jim darted in after her.
"Who are you?" Kate asked, "I remember you from the fire! What were you doing at my house!?"
"Kate, Kate, calm down." Jim said placing a hand on her shoulder.
"La Richanlalos Katherine Marie Myers," the man said, "I'm merely here on your grandmother's request."
"La Richanlalos?" Jim asked.
"Why are you calling me princess?" Kate asked.
"You mean to say you are unaware of your heritage?" the man asked.
"What are you talking about?" Jim asked, "Kate's not a princess, I'm pretty sure I'd know if my fiancé was one."
"Ah, so we heard correct." The man said, "You are engaged."
Kate slammed the guy against the wall again.
"Who are you?" Kate asked.
"La Richanlalos, calm down!" the man cried.
Kate growled and pressed harder while Jim tried to pry her away.
"Does this mean anything to you?" the man asked pulling out a necklace with a small flower made of diamonds that said 'Together on Mortornas' on the back.
"Where did you get this?" Kate asked snatching it.
"What is it?" Jim asked.
"Something I thought I'd never see again," Kate said, "I thought it was destroyed in the fire."
"I was sent by your grandmother-"the man choked.
"Stop with the nonsense!" Kate growled, "My grandmother wasn't found after the fire, my mother said she must have died."
"No, she is alive, she sent me to give you this and ask you to finally travel to Mortornas to live with her, like you planned as a child." The man said.
"Just because that's where she and my father are from doesn't mean-"Kate started.
"Your father, Roland Johnson Myers was prince of Mortornas, but forfeited the throne when he married a woman of lower class, the only way an heir would be eligible to reclaim the throne would be if they reached a form of noble or high status or were to marry someone of that status, and by both you and your fiancé joining the navy, your family can take back the throne before your grandmother dies." The man said, "Please la Richanlalos, lower me and return home."
Kate let go.
"You're crazy." She said.
She turned and darted out of the alleyway.
"La Richanlalos! Wait!" the man called exiting after her.
Jim shoved past the man and ran after Kate.
Kate slammed the Inn door and raced to her room with Jim entering before bending over panting.
"What's going on?" Sarah asked.
"I think Kate's having some form of identity crisis." Jim said, "We ran into this crazy guy who kept insisting she's a long-lost princess of Mortornas or something like that. Called her La Richanlalos Katherine Marie Myers and said her grandmother was queen or something like that."
"Well, it's a possibility." Delbert said.
"You don't buy that stuff, do you?" Jim asked.
"Well, Kate's father's name is the exact same as the former prince who was removed from the line after marrying someone of a lower class, and the Queen Maria Roberta Myers did have a granddaughter who shares the exact same name as Kate and was considered illegitimate due to her father's marriage." Delbert said, "Add the fact Kate's father was from that same planet and the way people achieve royal or noble status on Mortornas and it's plausible for it to be the truth, of course, the one thing that would be confirmation on it would be a necklace and music box the queen gave her granddaughter."
"The necklace wouldn't happen to be one with a flower made of diamond with the words 'Together on Mortornas' on the back would it?" Jim asked, "Because the guy showed Kate the exact same necklace and she said she thought it had gotten destroyed in the fire that killed her dad."
"That's the one." Delbert said.
"Wait, so you're saying that not only do I have to marry a girl that I-, well, if I were to say I hate I'd now be lying, a girl that drives me nuts, but that she also has the possibility of being a long lost princess?" Jim asked.
"No one said you had to marry her Hawkins, you made that choice yourself." Caption Amelia said.
"It does seem quite possible that Kate's truly the lost princess if that really is the necklace." Delbert said though, "It was custom made using a very special process so that it could never be properly replicated, if I were to see it, I could identify if it's really the same necklace."
Jim ended up passing out and falling to the ground due to the news being too much for him to handle.
"Jim!" Sarah, B.E.N., and Silver yelled rushing over to him.
"Was it something I said?" Delbert asked.
SPH: Whew, done! So, Kate could be secret royalty eh? Poor Jim, he's really in over his head. Also, yes, I got inspired by 20th Century Fox's Anastasia movie for this interesting part of Kate's past. I'm also going to do an Anastasia version of Treasure Planet using Kate as Anya and Jim as Dimitri to name two characters. Just to clarify, Jim and Kate slept on the same bed, noting else! I just know there are going to be people who think that something happened when nothing did. I am too tried to think of any questions so this is Samantha Peace HeartStar signing off for now. Peace out and keep spreading the Treasure Planet love! See ya!
