I felt my legs buckle as I hit the ground below. I could breath, was I dead? No! I could hear commotion and screams.

'Open your eyes love' The same sexy voice that had woken me early in the day had once again roused me. I open my eyes and looked into those chocolate brown eyes again. Jack was back.

'Jack, you came back for me?'

'I had to come back for me coat now didn't I love.' He smiled at me. I laughed. 'Come on we need to move.' Jack pulled me up and we ran towards an exits shots firing all other the place, how we dodged them I will never know. I noticed some of the shots where coming from the direction we were running towards. 'That's me crew come on' shouted Jack over the top of gun fire.

When ran until we came to the shore I hesitated but understood that If I wanted to survive I would have to follow Jack and his crew and swim. I followed, the water was pretty warm and I was a good swimmer. We finally reached the ship, away from the gun fire. Jack grabbed onto a line and pulled me by the waist towards him I held onto him tight as we were pulled into the air and landed in a heap on the deck of the ship. Jack looked deep into my eyes 'You alright love?' I breathed deeply and nodded as he helped me up.

'Captain?' a man hollowed

'Gibbs' Jack answered back.

'Do we have a heading captain?'

'anywhere away from here and fast, Katherine meet Gibbs my first mate, Gibbs this is Katherine.' Jack smiled when he said my name.

'Pleasure to meet you miss.'

'likewise.' I smile back.

'Master Gibbs can we organise that some fresh clothes, and a bath be brought to my cabin for Miss Katherine.' Jack ushered me towards a door that I presumed was his cabin.

'Captain it's frightful bad luck...'

Jack lunged at Gibbs 'Don't say it. She stays end of savvy, now the clothes and the bath and make it quick.'

'Yes Captain' Gibbs nodded and ordered the crew to work. Jack joined me and continued to lead me into his cabin.

His cabin was grand. Full of interesting trinkets and treasures. A huge four poster bed filled the middle of the room with cream sheets. A large desk was in front of a window on top of the chests appeared to be some charts. Jack moved towards a wardrobe pulling out some clothes for him to change into. I couldn't take my eyes off of him as he removed his shirt, His tanned back covered in scars, I presumed where the remnants of old battles. He was the most gorgeous man I had ever seen. I knock on the door distracted me and I turned my head towards the windows before Jack could notice I had been staring.

'Captain, the spare clothes and bath you asked for.' Another crew member came in carrying the clothes followed by two others.

'Thank you Brice, place them near the fire.' Jack pointed to where he wanted them to go. The crew members placed the items and left. Jack motioned towards the bath 'Get in then you don;t want the water to go cold.'

I looked at the bath then at him. As much as I found this man attractive, I wasn't going to get naked in front of him. 'May I have some privacy.' I asked. He nodded and left the room.

As I lay in the bath I began to think about the life I left back home. Would people be looking for me, what would people be thinking? Does my life still exist? How would I get back, do I want to go back?

I thought about my dad, the only family I had left this made me sad. I missed him so much he meant everything to me. James then came to mind. I did not miss him. I ran my fingers over the scar at the top of my leg just one of the few I was left with.

The water began to get cold, I decided to get out and dressed. I pulled on my new clothes. Some brown trousers a black shirt and some boots. I looked in the mirror standing in the corner of the room. My hair look a mess, I found some ribbon and tied my hair in a fish tail plait. Much better I thought.

I left the room onto the deck the sun was setting, the crew was busy I could hear Gibbs shouting orders. I looked around and spotter Jack at the helm looking gorgeous as ever. I had to stop thinking about him that way. He was at least twice my age and so not into me. I also dint know when I would return back home, it would be unfair to even pursue such feelings. I walked across the deck to the side of the ship held onto the railings and looked out to see.

'Beautiful, isn't it?' Jack a stealthy moved beside me.

'Excuse me?' I asked

'The view, this time of the day is my favourite. The way the sun reflect of the water.' He certainly didn't sound very piraty at the moment. 'I must say Katherine you look a lot better in those clothes, they suit you, most likely warmer than your previous attire eh?'

'Yes' I smiled ' and its Kate.'

'Pardon?' Jack asked.

'My name, you can shorten it to Kate, its what my friends call me.' I turned to face him learning on the railings. He mirrored my movement.

'Friends eh? Does that mean we are friends?'

'Well you did save my life, thank you Jack.'

'I guess I did, suppose you owe me now.' He smirked at me. ' Now what would a man like me need from a woman. Hmmp.' He pretended to think.

'Jack.' I scolded him.

'Just kidding love. However we do need to find you something to do on this ship. My man will become cross if they think you are just getting a free ride. What can you do?' He asked.

'Well I guess I am ok at cooking and well I know first aid.' I beamed at him.

He looked confused ' First aid.?' Oh right yes they don't have first aid in this time.

'Er medical things.' I explained.

'Oh right that can come in handy. But I think cooking is the most useful at the moment. I will show you to our kitchen, We have a cook at the moment, however I do know he doesn't like doing it and frankly is not the best at.' Jack laughed We walked across the deck. I didn't notice one of the crew members looking at me in a strange way, soon I would wish I had.
