Killian Jones

Part 8

I woke up the next morning in a bed that is unfamiliar to me, me head was pounding. I felt the bed move beside me. I turn my head and saw that I was in the same bed with another pirate. I sit up and move away from him. He opens his eyes and sees me, he sits up.

"Are you alright Desiree?" he asks. My hearts pounding in my chest and my head is killing me.

"How do you know my name?" I ask. He smirks at me.

"You told me last night while we were drinking at the tavern." he says. I sit there thinking about yesterday's events and remember what happened. Cain killed Shane and this guy came in, what was his name? Ke-Kill-Killian. His name was Killian.

"Oh. I-I forgot." I say quietly and looking down at the blanket. I felt like crying again remembering that my baby boy was gone.

"I brought you back here so that you would be safe." he says.

"Thanks." I say playing with the blanket now.

"We're still docked so if you want to get off you can or you can join me and my crew. It's your choice." he says.

"I have nowhere else to go so it would be pointless to leave." I say looking at him finally.

"Like I said it's your choice. I'll even let you sleep in here with me if it makes you feel comfortable. I wouldn't do anything to you unless of course you wanted to." he says and winks. I roll my eyes holding back a smile.

"That would make me feel a bit better." I say.

"Right I'll let my men know." he says. We get out of the bed and walk out onto the deck. "Alright lads listen up!" everyone stops and looks at Killian. "This lass here is joining our crew! If ya try anything it will not end well for you so leave Desiree alone!" he says.

"Aye Captain!" they say back.

"Smee!" call Killian.

"Captain?" says a short man with a red hat.

"Get ready to set sail." says Killian.

"Aye." he says running around giving orders.

"Do you know how to fight?" asks Killian.

"Yeah, Cain taught me when I got the chance. I just don't know how well I'd do against other pirates." I say.

"Follow me." he says leading me back into his room. He closes the door behind us. He walks over to his wardrobe and opens it. He rummages through some stuff until he finds what he's looking for. He turns to me. "Here are some clothes you can change into. Unless you'd rather fight in a dress." I take the clothes.

"It's hard to fight in a dress."

"And here is a weapons belt and a sword for you." he says handing it to me as well. "I'll leave you alone so you can change." he says and walks out while closing the door behind him. I walk over to his bed and lay the clothes down. I take off my dress and lay it to the side. I pick up the red shirt and put it on, then the black pants and boots then a black coat.

"Where did he get these clothes?" I ask myself. I pick up the weapons belt and put it on and put the sword in the sheath. I walk over to the door and open it and walk out. I look around and see the crew working I see Killian walk up on deck, he smiles when he sees me."

"Does it fight alright?"

"Yes it does. Thank you Killian."

"It's not a problem. Oh here's a gun also." he says holding it out to me. I take it and put it in the holster at my right hip.

"You don't have to do this you know."

"But I want to." he says stepping closer to me. My heart pounds in my chest as I look up at him. I have to keep my distance from him. I cannot fall in love with a pirate.

"Captain! Red coats dead ahead!" yells one of the men.

"Prepare to fight men!" Killian orders, he turns and looks at me. "Get ready Desiree." he says. I nod and took a deep breath to get ready for the fight.
