Thank you all for the great reviews! Please enjoy the chapter!

Katherine smiled warmly has Father Francis walked into his office. "Ah, Katie, you're back. I hope your father is feeling better. I hope it wasn't anything serious," he said, sitting down.

"Y-Yes, he's getting better. It was just a cold," she said, lamely. She wondered if lying about this will be sinful, but she feared to tell him that the reason she went to see her father was because he wanted her back home. "Madame Claire told me that you wanted to see me, Father?" she said, sitting down.

"Yes, I wanted to tell you that even though you have been working hard and you've proven yourself capable of spending the rest of your life as a servant of God, I cannot allow you to stay," he said.

Katherine's eyes widen. "B-But, why? I have worked so hard scrubbing floors until my hands are almost bleeding. I prepare food better than anyone else in here, and yet you tell me that I'm not worth to be here."

"Katherine, even if you have done all of this, I still fear that in your heart you don't share the same feeling. I know you love God and would love to serve him, but in reality you want someone to love and to be your husband. I'm sorry, Katherine, I just know that you'll find someone," he said.

Katherine sighed and took of her head drape. "I guess I'll just change out of these clothes," she murmured. She walked quickly out of the office and to her room, ignoring everyone who passed her or who greeted her. Her eyes were getting watery and difficult for her to see. Once she was in her room, she slammed the door shut and slid down against the door. "I'm I not even allowed to be happy here, God," she sobbed. "Why do you condemn me so? What do you want from me?"

One week later

Katherine watched the ceremony of Elizabeth's and James' marriage. Her eyes and mind weren't even focused. She felt dazed, in and out of consciousness. Her body was there physically, but she herself was not. She sometimes even replaced Elizabeth's face with hers and James would be smiling at her warmly and lovingly.

She jumped slightly as her feet were suddenly back on earth. She turned and saw Abigail, giving her a small smile. Katherine tried to smile back, but couldn't. She felt almost humiliated being here, knowing that she was once engaged to James. She realized that they were already married when people began clapping. Her eyes turned to the couple and she almost gagged seeing them kissing. You have no idea what kind of woman she is, James, she thought.

Trees past fast by her, running until her legs would give out. She couldn't stand being there. Seeing Elizabeth's smirk on her face as if she were competing with Katherine was just too much for her. Her tears were falling down her face. The clips that held her hair up were thrown off, letting her hair fall on her face. Her lungs suddenly were gasping for air, making her body forcefully stop.

Katherine leaned against one of the palm trees, trying to catch her breath. Her heart pounded against her chest and her mouth was dry. She licked her dry lips to try and moisten them. She suddenly stopped breathing when she heard waves crashing against the beach. She turned and just realized how far she ran. Her head snapped to the side when she heard men yelling nearby. She walked slowly towards the voices of the rowdy men. She peaked her head to the side of a tree to see what was going on.

Katherine gasped when she saw the Black Pearl. She had heard stories from civilians that it was crewed by the most fearsome pirates in the Caribbean, but it wasn't as scary as she thought it was. The sails were black, unlike she had ever seen, but she thought that this unique ship was utterly beautiful. More than any other that she had seen before. She gasped when she heard a familiar voice, commanding orders.

"That pirate," she whispered. "He's captain of this ship?" she asked herself. She always thought a captain should be should be old to command a ship, but he was very young in her opinion. Never has she heard that Jack Sparrow was captain of the Black Pearl only that he was a pirate that everyone wanted killed. She watched in fascination as he barked orders to his crew while looking at some map with a compass. "Maybe he's finally leaving," she said. Her brow furrowed when she saw Mr. Gibbs walking toward the captain as if asking him something. She almost laughed thinking that he was also a pirate. She remembered the stories that he would tell her when she was a small girl.

Katherine turned her head to the bark of the tree and shrieked in fear and surprise when she saw a scorpion crawling towards her hand. She shrieked in shock, taking her hand immediately from the bark and quickly moving away from the tree. Her eyes turned and saw Jack and Mr. Gibbs looking at her curiously. She felt her face heat up in embarrassment. She picked up her skirt and started to run the other way. Once she felt safe again she stopped running, also knowing that she was near her house.

"Why aren't you a curious cat, Saint Katherine?" She jumped and turned to see Jack behind her. "Why were you spying on us?" Katherine stayed silent not knowing what to say. Jack looked down and noticed that she wasn't wearing those awful nunnery clothes. She looked so much prettier. "Why, aren't you looking nice today, eh? Did you finally leave the convent because of dear ol' Jack?"

"Don't start with your cruel jokes," she finally said.

"All right, then," he laughed. "So what's the occasion then?" Katherine shifted not knowing if she should tell him anything. "Have you been crying, Katherine?" he asked, finally noticing her eyes. He reached to wipe her tears, but she pulled her head back.

"No, I haven't," she lied through her teeth.

Jack frowned. "Are you going to tell me why you're dressed so pretty today?"

Katherine blushed. "I had a wedding to attend today," she whispered.

"Then why aren't you there? Don't nuns usually sing in the choir?" he asked, walking around her. "Or is it because you didn't like the marriage between those two said persons?" Katherine turned her head and looked at him. "Did you think I haven't heard the talk of Elizabeth's engagement to the Commodore?" he growled.

Katherine gulped. "Please, don't do anything. Someone might get hurt," she said with pleading eyes.

"Is that why you joined the convent because your lovely fiancé was going to marry Elizabeth instead of you?" he asked. Katherine bit her lip to hold herself from crying. She turned and walked away towards her house feeling crushed by his harsh words. Jack cursed silently seeing her walk toward the house. He himself also felt hurt that the woman that he loved was marrying another man. How he would love to kill them both. Torturing her will be a sweeter revenge, he thought. Maybe I should give my greatest regards to the newlyweds after I return. He has been on land for too long and it almost made him land-sick.

"Maybe I'll see Saint Katherine again," he said smirking.

Five months later

"Father, I don't want to go to James' plantation," she said, reading her book. After he and Elizabeth have gotten married, he bought a plantation outside of Port Royal. Though he had slaves, he treated them nicely and even gave them a good pay and food. She knew he had a good heart.

"Katherine, you barely do anything anymore. Every man I introduce, you refuse his hand in marriage. Maybe a month there will clear your head," he said.

"A month?! But, Father, that's too long!" she said, putting her book down.

"I hear the air over there is better than here," he said. "Please, and Elizabeth has said in her letter how much she misses you and how she would love for you to go."

Katherine sighed. "Of course, she'll want me there," she said angrily.

"Katherine, you are going, like it or not," said her father raising his voice.

"Fine, but I'll take Abigail and if she doesn't go then neither will I," she said. Weatherby nodded. Katherine knew that Elizabeth was only going to rub being married to James just to upset her, so she wanted to take Abigail with her, the only person she could trust.

Two weeks later

Katherine gasped when someone grabbed her arm. She turned and was in shocked to see that it was Jack. She had just gotten out of the chapel from James' plantation. Elizabeth was always nagging about how James is always working and not tending to her needs, so she wanted to go somewhere where she wouldn't be bothered. "What are you doing here?" she hissed, snatching her arm back.

"I see that you aren't dressed as a nun, Saint Katherine," he said, smirking.

Katherine rolled eyes. She was getting tiered of him calling her by that name. "They wouldn't let me join the convent."

"And why is that? Maybe they thought you would tempt the friars," he said, getting closer.

Katherine scowled, pushing him back. "Don't be fresh. How did you even know this place anyways? Elizabeth and James are already married, so why don't you just leave. There's no use to hurt innocent people," she said.

"There are no innocent people," he growled. "I was lied to and I'm here to take what belongs to me."

Katherine shook her head in his stubbornness. "Please, go, Mr.…"

"Captain!" he corrected her.

"Captain Sparrow," she repeated. "Besides, E-Elizabeth and James are in their honeymoon… in Europe," she lied, not being able to look at him. She heard Jack sneer. "Just leave. I'll give you anything that you want if you leave without making a scandal," she begged, looking back at him. She still loved James and there was no way that she will allow Jack to ruin his happiness.

Jack looked at her. "Anything," he asked with a lustful voice.

Katherine gulped at his predator stare. "I-I'll try to get money somehow to give to you."

"What if I don't want money?" he said, stepping closer. "What if I want a woman instead? What if I want a governor's daughter," he said, grabbing her by the waist. Katherine gasped at his boldness, but gasped again when she heard someone coming over.

Katherine eyes widen. "It's James," she hissed, moving away from him. "H-Hide behind the bushes," she said. Katherine looked at him and he still didn't move. "Please, Captain Sparrow!" she said, pushing him behind. She smiled when she saw James walking towards her. She looked back to see an angered Jack. She ignored him and continued to smile at James.

"Katie," he said, kissing her hand. "Why are you here alone? To whom does this horse belong to?" he asked.

"I-I don't know. I came to the chapel to pray, but the horse was already here," she said quickly.

"Must be from one of the workers. Well come back to the mansion. Lunch is ready," he said, offering her his arm.

"Um, I'll be right there, I forgot my bible inside the chapel," she lied. It must be a sin to lie for so many faults, but it's for you, James, she thought.

"Alright," he said, lowering his arm. "We'll be waiting for you." Katherine nodded and watched him as he walked away.

"I didn't know nuns lied so much," whispered Jack in her ear, startling her.

"Don't do that," she hissed, putting a hand on her chest.

"So they aren't in their honeymoon," he snarled.

Katherine sighed. "I thought they did. Besides, there's no reason to make a scandal in this family, Captain."

Jack glared at her. "The only one who has fault to that is Elizabeth and would you stop caring for that ignorant of a man?!" he yelled. Katherine jumped in surprise by his outburst. "You shouldn't care for someone who left you for another woman."

Katherine's eyes started to sting. "And neither should you," she glared, walking away from him. Jack kicked the ground furiously. He hated when people treated like nothing, but he guessed that Katherine felt the same way.
