Chapter 21

Reunion

                          Angelica stared at the person before her in disbelief. “Thomas…” She whispered looking into the altered face of the man she loved. He had changed his hair, and his facial hair. A tear ran down her cheek as a smile grew on to her face. His lips busted onto hers. He tasted so sweetly. Thomas’s arms held her close and tightly to his body. She clung to him not wanting this to be another dream. His lips released themselves from her lips and began to quickly kiss all over her face. Her eyes were closed as her arms went around his neck. She mounded slightly enjoying his caresses. Warm breath tickled her neck and soon it was replaced with a hard kiss. She yelped as he placed on her his mark. She knew people would see what he left behind, but at this point she did not care. Angelica loved this pirate and wanted no one but him to touch her. Thomas stopped and picked her up placing her on his lap. He embraced her and brought her as close to him as possible.

                          “Tomorrow we will leave here and return back to our ship.” He whispered sweetly into her ear as he kissed it. She sighed and snuggled closer happy at the thought. Her  face soon grew pale as another thought entered her mind.

                          “Can I bring someone?” She turned looking at him in the eyes. Her hand found its way to his face and began to slowly stroke up and down. “I had a woman put into my care and I cannot leave her behind. And when we return we need to find her son before my father does.. . Im going to leave him a letter explaining what happened. I know he may not listen to what it says but I must try. Please my love please?” her eyes pleaded with her husband hoping that his insanity would not prevent her from doing what she now plan. His face ramined calm as he listened to her.

                          “Of course if that would make you happiest!” he exclaimed kissing her softly. Angelica became confused. “Why didn’t he freak out at me leaving a note for my father? Why is he so calm?” She stopped him.

                          “Thomas are you ok? Your eyes are not bugging out and are not twitching. You seem different.” She leaned  against him.

                          “I told you my love. I fought with insanity and won. It only took loosing you to break it.” Thomas kissed the top of her head.

                          “If you don’t mind me asking what made you go insane? Franklin told me what happened to your family. Is that the reason?” Angelica felt his head shake.

                          “That is only part of the reason. It happened soon after I became the Captain. I had left Hodges and Robert came with me. I had enough loot to buy the Vengeance. Soon we charted a crew and set sail on the sea. After afew months of pillaging we came to a village on the island of Barbados.  We attacked fiercely. It was an easy victory as it barely had a wall to defend the village. We entered in triumph. My crew went and began to pillage all before them. No one could stand up against us. I entered a house… I entered a house and saw one of my men rapping a woman. Her husband laid dead in the corner. A little boy clung to his younger sister shielding her eyes from the horror that was before their eyes. I yanked him off and began to chop off his body parts one by one until nothing was left. When I looked up the mother was my mother and the children were me and my brother, and I was… I was Hodges. . . A monster. We retreated and I went into madness, or at least I guess that is what happened. The thought of ever being like that monster is enough to drive anyone into utter Insanity. But it took almost loosing the love of my life to fight my way through it. And I do love you. I will tell you every day how much I love you so that you never have to question wither or not I love you.” He kissed her deeply. “We must return. They will wonder were you are. And will you wear your ring tomorrow.” He showed her his ring that was hanging on a string around his neck. She yanked on one similar to his that was around her neck. On the end of it was her wedding ring. He smiled and kissed her again. Thomas removed his jacket and put it over her shoulders, thus hiding the mark he left on her neck. They entered the ball room and danced the rest of the night away.

                          Thomas and Angelica rode out towards the lake. They rode swiftly now out of sight from anyone at the Palace. Thomas had sent Daniel and Gugu ahead of them and they were headed towards the cabin in the woods to tell his brother to release the prisoners and to head towards the ship. The wind rushed through their hair as the speed towards the side roads making sure to stay away from any main road. Angelica smiled as she looked at her husband.

                          “You know you will have to wash out the rest of that ink from your hair. I miss its original hue.” She chuckled as they rode.

                          “Whatever you say my love.” He laughed as there pace quickened.

                          Days passed until they arrived at the ship. At one point they were forced to change horses. Thomas had exchanged the two for one and they rode off towards the ship together. Angelica fell asleep as he nudged her awake.

                          “We are home.” He whispered. She looked up and smiled seeing a wonderful familiar sight. He jumped off the horse and she jumped into his arms. Carrying her on board Thomas pretty much lept onto the ship. Robert, Daniel, and Gugu had somehow beat them there. “Raise the anchor Robert. You know our destination now take us there quickly.” He ran down to the cabin and locked the door. His room was fixed and looked the same as before minus a few little things. Tossing her on the bed he landed on top of her. “I love you.” He said kissing her.

I love you very much but you must understand that I love Thomas more than life itself. He came and rescued me. He was the Duke as you will soon discover upon the return of the real Duke. Papi try to understand that without him my life is incomplete. I can not stand a world without him. We have not consummated our marriage but I am sure we will soon, and when we have children father please love them as much as I love you. You will be a great grandfather, please don’t reject me or them. For I would marry him over and over again. If we get divorced than we will marry again. We will always be husband and wife and nothing not even you or the king will change the love that is deep in our hearts and in our souls. Please understand Papi I beg you to understand how I feel. I am not tricked in the head Im in love.
