Ch13 - What Just Happened? Pt3

Did he agree, with what Smith said? If so, then how am I going to face him, tonight during supper?...

I remained on the bed, as I heard a soft knock; I didn't answer, as I wanted whoever it was to think I was asleep. I sighed, as another knock reverberated through the door; I stood up, before moving toward the door.

I opened it slightly, the small gap; revealing Hook, he spoke.

"May, I speak with you?"

I nodded, but didn't open the door any further; staying hidden, I spoke.

"Yes, of course"

He nodded, before speaking again.

"May, I come in?"

I, spoke; while keeping the door closed slightly.

"I was in the middle of undressing..."

I let my words, hang in the air; as I wasn't sure, how he was going to react, I watched as he nodded. I continued. "Is everything, alright?"

He nodded, again; before speaking.

"Everything is fine, I just thought you would like to know that Smith is to be removed from the ship soon"

I nodded, before speaking again.

"Did he give any reason, for his actions?"

He, answered.

"Yes, he gave me his reason..." I, spoke. "Why, did he do it?"

Hook, cleared his throat; before answering.

"Lass, this is not a conversation I wish to have outside your cabin; I will explain everything this evening at supper"

I nodded, as I spoke.

"I suppose, you're right Captain; but I expect an explanation, this evening"

He nodded, before speaking.

"As you wish, Princess..." he lifted my hand, before pressing his lips against the back of it; he continued. "I'll see you tonight"

I nodded, before closing the door; I leaned up against it, so he didn't notice me...which means, he doesn't know that I'm aware of Smith's reason, for attacking me.

I guess, I'm going to have to tell him; that I have the ability to know, when someone is lying. I just hope, he believes me; I moved away, from the door, before moving to sit on the bed.

I had a few hours, before I had to join him for supper; so I lay down, placing my hands on my stomach, before closing my eyes.

When I woke, I sat up; before peering out, I noticed it was slightly dark outside, which meant it was time for supper. I got redressed, in an outfit similar to what I wore this morning, before making my way to Hook's cabin; I knocked, before waiting for his response.

I heard him, before the door opened; I noticed, he was sitting at his desk. He was staring at a map, I stayed near the door, as I spoke softly; not wanting disturb, his train of thought.

"I can come back, if you're busy"

He looked at me, whilst shaking his head; he then spoke.

"Nonsense lass, I wouldn't have told you to come in; I was just looking at some old maps"

I nodded, he moved around his desk; before standing in front of me, he spoke again.

"I asked, for our supper to be delayed; as I thought, you might like to discuss Smith's trial"

I nodded, before speaking.

"I would like, that"

He nodded, before motioning for me to sit down; I sat on his bed, he joined me. He spoke.

"Now, before I start; I just want you to know, that I was aware of your presence"

I cleared my throat, before speaking.

"Seriously? You knew I was there, but how; I was quiet"

Hook, chuckled softly; before speaking.

"As I explained earlier love, I know these things; and just because, you were quiet, doesn't mean I didn't notice you...now, how much did you hear?"

I, spoke again.

"So you aren't angry, that I disobeyed your order?"

He looked at me, as he shook his head; he then spoke.

"No lass, I'm not; I should have known, you wouldn't listen to me, but you still haven't answered my question, how much did you hear?"

I, answered.

"If you're asking, me; what I think you're asking, then yes...I heard Smith's reason for his actions"

Hook nodded, before speaking again.

"What else did you hear?"

I, took a breath; before answering.

"I heard Smith mention, that you didn't claim me, in the way you claimed Milah; what did he mean by that?"

Hook, spoke.

"Well lass, usually when there's a woman onboard a pirate ship, the captain usually claims the woman for his own needs..." he looked at me, before continuing. "Are you following, what I'm saying love?"

I nodded, as he spoke again.

"Smith, knows my relationship with Milah was different; I was in love with her, and I didn't claim her, she gave herself to me willingly..." he paused, before continuing. "He was just angry that we didn't get the jewels, but that doesn't excuse his actions towards you"

Again, I nodded; knowing he wasn't finished, he looked at me, before speaking.

"The good news is, he's gone; we left him on that tiny island, he's not going to harm you or anyone else, ever again. But, just out of curiosity; did you hear anything else? Or was that, all you heard?"

I, spoke.

I heard you sentence him, I also heard his response; and that you let him have some rations, but not his cutlass, why is that?"

Hook, sighed; before answering.

"I allowed him to have some rations, because I'm a fair Captain; but I didn't allow him to have his cutlass, as it's intended he's going to perish on that island"

I nodded, before deciding to mention; my ability, I spoke.

"There's something, you should know Captain; I have this ability..." Hook, spoke. "Are, you a witch?" I shook my head, before continuing. "No, I assure you Captain; I am not a witch...I can tell when someone is lying, it's something I've always been able to do"

He looked at me, before chucking softly; he spoke.

"Why, are you bringing this up now?"

I, answered.

"After our conversation earlier, I decided that if you didn't give me an explanation, I was going to tell you about my ability; in order to get you to tell me the truth"

He nodded, before speaking again.

"I see...you're a clever one; Princess, and thank you for telling me"

I nodded, before speaking.

"And thank you, Captain for believing me"

He nodded, while smiling softly; he spoke.

"Shall, I have Smee; bring our supper?"

I nodded, while returning his smile; he got up, before moving to open the door, I heard him call Smee, smiling softly, as they spoke.

I then watched, as he lifted two cups; before rejoining me, he spoke again.

"Supper, shouldn't be long; lass"

I smiled softly, as he poured our drinks; I took a small sip, the liquid burning as it slid down my throat. I cleared my throat, before speaking.

"What made you decide, to become a Pirate?"

He looked at me, before answering.

"That's not a story, suitable for a Princess"

I, spoke again.

"I see...Can you tell me anything, about yourself?"

He nodded, before speaking again.

"Well, you already know I'm the Captain of the fastest ship in all the realms, so the question is love, what else do you want to know, apart from my reasons for becoming a Pirate"

I glanced at his hook, and I noticed his gaze followed mine; he spoke.

"Ah, you want to know; how I lost my hand, don't you?"

I nodded, before speaking.

"Only if you're comfortable, in telling me"

He nodded, before speaking.

"If you really want to know, then I'll tell you after supper"

I nodded, while opening my mouth to speak; only to be interrupted, by Smee as he brought our supper in. I waited until he left, to speak.

"You don't have to tell me everything, you can leave some of the details out, if you want"

He nodded, before speaking.

"That's very kind of you lass, but I'll tell you everything; after we eat, I promise"

I nodded, before taking a small bite; while watching Hook, do the same. We are in a somewhat comfortable silence, knowing the topic we were going to discuss after supper, would be a delicate one...
