Killian Jones

Part 17

   I sat on the crates thinking for who knows how long. I just couldn't stop thinking about what happened in my dream. Why did I have a dream here I had to choose between Josh and Killian? Would I have... no I wouldn't have to make that kind of choice. Josh is gone. But I don't even know if my heart can love another man, just to be broken if he decides that he doesn't love me or if he were to be killed like Josh was. Why does life have to be so cruel?

  My thoughts were in were interrupted by Ricky waving his hand in front of my face. I blink a few times and stare at him, waiting for him to speak. He shakes his head and starts to look nervous.

 "Cap'n said to tell you that the place we're going to will take three days to get there by ship and two days by walking." he said then turned and started walking away. I grabbed the back of his shirt causing him freeze.

  "Why do you keep running away from me? I' not mean, I ain't gonna bite ch'a or nothing." I say letting go of his shirt.

  "I-I... just... I'm not good with people." he says not looking at me.

  "I don't believe that for a second Ricky. Now turn around here and stop running from me." I say pulling his arm and forcing him to look at me.

  "I'm sorry I'm acting weird. I'm just always so paranoid." he says rubbing the back of his head.

  "Why?"

  "Cuz I ran away from home a couple years ago."

  "Why did you run away? Was your life that bad?"

 "Well... no... it wasn't bad... I was just not the kind of life that I wanted."

  "Well what kind of life did you want?"

  "One where could see different places, go and do whatever I wanted to do and not be judged by those around you. You know see what else the world had to offer." He said. I could tell that most of what he was saying is true. All but running away a couple years ago, but I won't question it.

  "That's understandable. I've become quit intrigued by the pirate life myself."

  "So you know why I became a pirate, but why did you become a pirate?" he asks. I sigh while closing my eyes. I open them and look out at the ocean.

  "I was forced into this life. I was taken out of my carriage one night and watched my husband die. I was brought back to a ship and rapped."

  "Oh I..."

  "It's fine Ricky. I'm fine." I say looking back at him. His blue eyes showing a hint of sadness in them. I swear I've seen those eyes before. They remind me of...

  "Ricky! We need you!" called one of the other men cutting off my thought. Ricky turns and runs off.

                        ~~~~ Time Skip ahead to the third day in the afternoon ~~~~

  Three days have passed and I've gotten to know Ricky a but more, my gut keeps telling me that something is up with him. I walk into mine and Killian's room and sit on the bed. I keep thinking about Ricky and why I feel like I've seen his eyes before.  I was so lost in thought I didn't hear the door open.

  "You alright Desi?" asks Killian. I look up at him.

  "Huh?"

  "I asked if you were alright. Looks like you've got a lot on your mind. Care to tell me what it is?" he asks sitting beside me on the bed.

  "Can I ask how you found Ricky?" I ask looking at him. He takes his chin in between in thumb and forefinger in thought and hums.

  "Let... me... think..." he pauses to think. "He was about ten when I found him, he was sneaking around outside a tavern. I grabbed the back of his shirt and asked him what he was doing. He said that he was trying to et enough money to hitch a ride to anywhere but here. I told him that if he wanted he could join my crew, but he'd have work to stay on my ship."

  "You brought a ten year old boy onto your ship and made him work for you?"

 "Now when you say it like that it sounds bad Desi, but I was only trying help the lad. He accepted my offer and the lad's been a damn good man. So..."

  "Wait a minute. What color hair does he have?"

  "Black. Why?" he asked. Then it was like everything clicked in my head. 

  "Oh my god. Ricky is Trevor." I say.

  "What how do you know?"

  "He has black hair and he has the same blue eyes that Weston and Josh have. He has to be Trevor."

  "I think you're jumping the gun on that one Desi."

  "No it has to be him. I can tell."

  "It could just be a coincidence you know."

  "Killian there's this thing called intuition, my intuition is telling me that Ricky is in fact Trevor and by the time we come back from this mission of yours I will prove that Ricky is Trevor."

  "Okay whatever you say Desi. Let's go to bed. We've reached the island, we'll head out first thing in the morning." says Killian as we get in the bed. I turn and face the wall and fall asleep.
