Thanks for the reviews and I hope you guys enjoy this chapter!

Katherine glared at him, shoving his hand out of the way and sitting up. She looked over to see if James' sister had woken up. Thankfully, she still was. She turned her attention back to Jack. "It's not the time nor the moment."

"You didn't leave me any choice," whispered Jack.

"You should leave, Jack," she said.

"No," he said, sternly.

Katherine looked back at Anne. " We can't talk here."

Jack got closer. "Let's go outside."

"So that James or another can see you? If you don't leave, I'll scream," warned Katherine.

"Do it," he challenged.

Katherine's glare intensified. "You always have to put force on your part. You don't have respect for no one or anything."

"We couldn't do things a different way." He inched closer even more. "I won't leave unless we talk."

Katherine huffed, grabbing her sheets to her chest. "Fine. Wait for me outside."

Jack got up, but stayed. "No."

Katherine sighed. "I have to put something on top."

Jack smirked. She was still the same Katherine he remembered. "Are you afraid that I'll see you?"

Katherine rolled her eyes. "Give me my robe." Jack grabbed and put it on her. They quickly made it out into the hall and quiet as possible. "What do you wish to speak about?"

"Not here. Let's go to the study," he said, grabbing her arm, but she pulled it back.

"No!" she hissed. "I won't do what you want."

Jack intimidated her by walking towards her as she walked away from him."I only said that because a worker might see us."

"At this time, everyone is asleep," she said, walking down the stair steps.

"You want nothing with me anymore, right?" he asked, noticing her tone of voice.

"Of course I don't! After all the things you said to me and how you embarrassed me. Not even after the ship was sold, you stole it back and yet knowing you could do that, you still insulted me. You did nothing to save our marriage. I offered to be at your side but you pushed me away. I'd be an idiot to accept you back."

"I know, Katie. I know that I hurt you, but I made a mistake. I'm very sorry."

Katherine looked away. "Your apology comes too late."

"Really?" asked Jack, coming closer. "Do you really mean it?"

"Who do you think you are?" she said angrily. "You are nothing to me now."

She went to move, but he stopped her. "I'll admit that I did that to pressure you on having a reason to leave me, but I regret it, Katie. I hate not looking at you everyday when I wake. A year without you was my personal hell." Again she turned away. "I love you, Katie. You are my life." Katherine could feel his breath on her neck. She closed her eyes in pleasure as he began to kiss i. How she dreamed of his kisses and how sweet they felt. He went to kiss her mouth, but she pulled away slightly. "Why do you resist? You also desire it."

Katherine stepped back to try and contain herself. "I can't."

"You lie, I just felt it," he said, looking into her eyes, moving to her again. "You still love me the same or more than before. You have to come back to me, Katie. Now."

Katherine shook her head and pulled away completely. "You think by only touching me, you can erase everything that happened?"

"Of course not, but I can explain."

"Come off it, Jack," hissed Katherine. "Do you really think you're the only man in this planet."

Jack cocked his head back. "I thought that for you I was."

"That's why you took advantage of that, right? Embarrassing me, saying nasty things to me. You have no idea how much I suffered. You even made me believe that I was more important that a ship. You even hurt me physically. You were so cruel."

"It hurt me more than you. I couldn't watch you suffer and always being worried if they'd arrest me again because I'm a pirate."

"Then why do you want me back?"

"Because I don't care. You were right. I was afraid that the edges of the map were filling and the legacy of piracy will be gone, but I don't care as long as you are with me. Please forgive me."

"I begged James to give you back your ship, but then my father told me we were going back to London. Then, Lizzie died and it was my fault. I wished her death."

"Don't say that, it's not true," said Jack.

Suddenly James' voice echoed in the house. Katherine could see the light of his candle. "Leave, please," she begged pushing Jack away into the darkness of the house.

She gasped when she saw James at the top of the stairs. "Katie, what are you doing? I heard noises and voices," he said, going down the stairs.

Katherine quickly wiped her tears away. "N-Nothing, I was just..."

"Is there someone else here?" asked James.

"No!" she answered, but Jack stepped back into the light. James' face contorted into a snarl.

"What are you doing here?" demanded James.

"I came to speak with Katie," simply responded Jack.

James looked back at her. "You opened the door for him?"

"Yes..."

"No," interrupted Jack. "I came in by a window."

"How dare you come into my home?" hissed James.

"I needed to speak with her," said Jack calmly.

"You ungrateful son of a..."

"Please, James, it was my fault," said Katherine desperately.

"That's enough," interrupted Jack again. "Stop with your insults. You are all those things and more."

"You dare insult me in my own home," growled James as he grabbed Jack. Katherine watched in horror as both men began to fight onto the floor, throwing punches at each other. Other servants began to wake and rushed to the scene, trying to break apart the two men. One of them pulled out a gun a fired. Katherine cried out as the bullet hit her arm. Jack caught her before she hit the floor.

"Katie," he shouted, looking at her wound. "You're hurt!"

"Go away, Sparrow," snarled James. "Do you want me to kill you?"

'We have to cure her!" yelled Jack. "Call for a doctor," he ordered and a servant quickly went for one.

"I told you to leave," said James, almost still not moved from Katherine's injury.

"We have to help her!" insisted Jack, getting angry. Jack picked up a panting and crying Katherine and placed her on a couch. He began to rip the cloth were she was shot and pressed on wound to stop it from bleeding. He could hear other people beginning to wake up, including Weatherby, asking what was going one, and rushing towards his daughter.

James cocked his gun again, pressing it on top of Jack's head. "Leave now or I'll kill you like the dog you are."

Katherine panted and looked at Jack. "Please go, Jack," she pleaded. "For the love of God, leave."

Jack looked at her as if begging for forgiveness and left, but not first without glaring at James. He was furious that he couldn't be at Katherine's side at this time, but what could he do? She begged and he complied.

Abigail went to visit Katherine the next day and to her shock she found out what had happened. "He dare to visit you last night? Isn't he afraid what the Commodore might do to him?"

Katherine shrugged. Her injury wasn't that serious. The doctor just ordered her to rest for a couple of days. "I don't know, but I'm tiered."

"Of what?" asked Abigail.

"Of everything," said Katherine, getting frustrated, thinking of what happened. Of being unhappy. Of being in the middle of two men that obviously hate each other. I noticed that tonight. They don't care about me. When they were fighting they didn't hear my pleas and begs."

Abigail sighed. "You know of men are, especially when they against each other. There's no room for a woman to get involved."

"I believe that the only reason James asked me to marry him is to bother Jack," said Katherine.

"You think?"

Katherine nodded. "And Jack's no better, he's violent, aggressive, he always wants to do what he wants, and that every woman has to fall at his feet. I'm sick and tiered. I don't want to know anything of the two of them. If they want to kill themselves, they can do it, but I don't want them to say that I'm the reason of it. This ends it, Abby. I can assure you of that.

Abigail looked at her friend. She knew that she was angry just because she was shot for their cause, but she also knew that deep inside Katherine, she still loved Jsck and only made up lies to push him away just like he did to her. "So what are you going to do?"

"I don't know. I'm going to think about it."

Just then Weatherby came in to see how she was doing. "Good morning Katherine, Abigail."

"Good morning, Governor."

"Katie, I have to talk to you about what happened last night. It was terrifying," he said. "We have to remedy this."

Katherine nodded. "I know."

"You have to marry James." Katherine looked up at him in shock. "I won't accept no for an answer, and if it's necessary as you father, I demand it." Katherine glared at him. Don't you see that this is the only way to get you away from that man."

"Father, I don't think that's the solution."

"It's the only option that we have, Katie. Last night proved what kind of man he really is. Because of him you almost could have died."

"It wasn't Jack's fault," she said, defensively. "One of James' servants shot the pistol.

"Yes, but Sparrow provoked everything," argued Weatherby. "Katie, that man will be your downfall. You'll end up like your sister and I don't want that."

"It's unfair, Father, that you're making me do something that I don't want."

"It's the best solution, Katie. I'm your father and I know what's good for you."

Katherine sighed. "If it makes you feel better, Father, I have no intention of going with Jack, but I don't want to marry James. I don't want him as a husband. I don't want to be married ever again."
