Jack led me down stairs to the kitchen it was dark and damp. However I was grateful to finally have a purpose on this voyage. Jack introduced me to Brice. I recognised him as the man the brought my clothes up to the cabin earlier. He didn't look much like a pirate. He was fresh faced young, and I suppose quite handsome however not my type a bit of a pretty boy. Jack left me with him and went back up onto the deck.

'So, what ingredients do we have then? I asked.

' Very few, we have not stocked up for quite sometime so our supplies are pretty low. If you can make anything out of what we have it will be a bloody miracle.' He laughed.

hmm, I looked around and found some herbs and spices I smelt some and cam across some saffron, I found some vegetables in the corner. 'Do you have any rice' I asked.

'Yes we have tons, I never know what to do with it.'

'Great I can make something out of all of this.' Brice and I began to make supper for the crew. We laughed and joked with each other. I began to see him as a new friend. He did not pry about my past we just spoke about the now and the future.

After an hour of slaving over a hot stove, we finally had a feast fit for King. Well at least fit for a ship full of pirates. We dished out the food and made are way to sit down at a table with the rest of the crew.

'Kate, come sit over here.' Jack called me over and I did as I was asked. I sat next to him my thigh brushed his thigh as I sat down and I felt a jolt run through me. I looked directly at him. It looked as though he had felt it too.

'Here captain?' Gibbs interrupted us. 'Have you tasted this, I think this is the best meal we have eaten on this ship.'

'Is it now,' Jack smiled. ' Well chaps I think a toast is in order for our new chef, to Katherine.' I blushed and hid my face from the crew. I didn't like too much attention. I finished eating my meal and suddenly felt very tired. It had been a long day just this morning I had been in a cell on my own waiting to be hung, and now I'm sat on a ship full of pirates. I needed sleep to let it all sink in. I stood to make my way out when Jacks hand grabbed mine. That jolt I felt earlier came back to hit me ten times stronger.

'Where are you going love?' He asked.

'I'm tired Jack I would like to go to bed.'

'Okay, take my bed, I'll sleep in the hammock.' He offered.

'Oh Jack I couldn't take your bed it's okay.'

'No I insist you deserve a good rest after that fine meal you served us.'

I smiled and thanked him. I made my way up to his cabin and began to get ready for bed. I climbed into his bed, I could smell him. The smell made me tingle, oh I was falling for him and fast. I couldn't stop it. I knew there was a chance it wouldn't end well, but did I care. I smiled. You only live once. I fell into a deep sleep hopefully to dream about a certain talk dark pirate with gorgeous chocolate brown eyes.
