Chapter 4, Kelasin.

Boom after boom sounded, each one sounding louder and nearer than the last. Kelasin jumped and flinched at each one as she huddled in terror under the blankets, well at lest I got my wish, she thought in disgust, yelping in fear as another boom sounded, this one coming from the very ship itself, it certainly wasn’t thunder… it was cannon fire, their ship was being attacked and that could only mean one thing, Pirates!

Fear slashed through her like a knife as every horrifying story she had ever heard about pirates came back to haunt her. Visions of what could happen to her flashed through her head as another more terrifying thought rose to the surface of her mind to make its self known, what if they sunk the ship?

Capture and being dragged to their ship to face possible rape and who knew what else would be a better fate than being left on the sinking ship, sinking ships tended to end with you in the water and there was nothing Kelasin feared more than the sea.

She had been on a ship similar to this when her fear had been born; she had been playing with her brother Cutler on their fathers flagship that had just arrived in port that morning, her brother had climbed into the rigging of the ship and had been laughing at her and calling her a silly little baby because she had been to scared to follow him, scowling up at him angrily with her little hands planted on her hips, she had poked her tongue out at him before marching over to the side of the ship, she so was not scared, he was older and taller than her and could reach the rigging easily, well she’d show him.

With that thought still ringing in her head she had scrambled up onto the rail of the ship to give her more height, wobbling precariously she had reached out and grabbed hold of a convenient rope to steady herself, looking up she searched for the best way to climb up so she could give her smirking brother a good kick in the shins, she spied him sitting astride one of the spars that held the sails, laughing and jeering at her, narrowing her eyes she glared at him and taking a deep breath started to climb.

Kelasin, she had not gone very far when she had thought she heard someone whisper her name behind her, she froze and looked cautiously over her shoulder, there was nothing behind her but empty air and seemingly far below her the sea stretched away into the distance, suppressing a shudder she had turned back and started to climb once more when the call came again.

Kelasin, she jumped in fright as icy tendrils of fear chased down her spine she got the distinct feeling of being watched and who ever the watcher was they weren’t friendly, squeezing her eyes shut as tightly as she could she clung desperately to the rigging to scared to move, her eyes had shot open again as she felt something icy cold wrap around her waist and give her a sharp tug, she had screamed in terror as the tug came again and she was pulled from the rigging to fall down into the icy cold sea far below, at the last minute she had remembered to shut her mouth and hold her breath as the cold water had closed over her head, she remembered how she had kicked and struggled as hard as she could to no avail it had felt as if something had got hold of her legs and was dragging her down into the cold unforgiving depths of the sea.

Just when she thought she could hold her breath no longer and this was it she was going to drown, there had been a commotion in the water next to her and strong hands had grabbed her under the arms and shoved her hard towards the surface, as she shot upwards she felt the strange grip on her legs fall away as a wailing scream of anger reached her ears seeming to come from all around her.

Coming or so, it seemed from the very sea its self, the rest was a confused blur of shouting and yelling as she had been dragged out of the sea and back on to the deck of the ship.

Much later when her angry father had stopped yelling at her for being such a little fool for doing something so dangerous as trying to climb the rigging of a ship, she had tried to tell him of the strange voice and that she had not fallen but had infact been dragged, but her father had not believed her and had gotten very angry and slapped her face for telling such outrageous lies, she had kept quiet after that and soon everything had returned to normal the incident forgotten, but Kelasin remembered, could recall in vivid detail the feel of that icy cold touch as it dragged her down in to the depths.

It was a few days after the incident that she had over heard a couple of the servants talking and learned that it was one of the sailors from the ship that had dived in and saved her, but he himself had drowned.

Tears had sprung to her eyes as she had heard this and she ran to her room to sob out her sadness and fear as the angry scream of the sea seemed to echo once more in her ears, the sailors body had never been found, that night as she slept she had had the dream for the first time, she had been terrified of the sea ever since, just the sight of it caused fear to roll through her stomach.

She had never set foot on a ship again until now when two men under orders from her brother had physically dragged her on board and locked her in the cabin as she cried and screamed in terror till the ship was far out to sea and there was no hope of escape, and why had her brother seen fit to inflict this horror upon her? Marriage, her hated brother was giving her to a man she had never even met, had infact never even heard of until the day she was dragged on to the ship.

Kelasin was dragged out of her morbid thoughts by a ear splitting boom followed almost immediately by a terrific crash, Kelasin screamed sobbing in terror as her cowering form was showered in falling debris, after a few minutes when she was sure she was still alive and had not dyed of fright, she slowly raised the corner of the blanket covering her and cautiously peered out and gapped in disbelief at the sight that met or rather didn’t met her eyes.

Were the wooden wall of the ships haul should have been there was now a large yawning hole, debris was strewn about the room and she could clearly see the waves as they smashed against the ship throwing a fine spray into the cabin, Kelasin scrambled quickly off the bed backing away from the sight of the sea that was all of a sudden so terrifyingly close to her, her legs shook under her as her heart beat a rapid tattoo in her breast, to her terrified eyes the waves seemed to be reaching for her as they dashed themselves against the sides of the ship, reaching behind her she fumbled for the door handle sighing in relief as her hand closed around it, turning she yanked the door open but before she could step through to the relative safety of the corridor beyond, there was another loud boom and the ship suddenly tilted violently to the side throwing her to the floor.

Kelasin screamed as she slide across the smooth floor towards the gapping hole in the wall and the dark hungry sea beyond, her fingers were torn to shreds as she scrabbled desperately on the wooden floor trying to hold on to something, but the ship was to well built, the floors to smooth for her fingers to find a purchase, as she slid closer and closer to the hole she twisted her head and caught sight of one of the legs of the bed that was bolted to the floor as she slid past, desperately she stretched her hand out sobbing in relief as her fingers closed around it, but as she struggled to bring her other hand round to clutch it firmly in two hands, the tilting ship was hit by a wave much larger than the rest, water rushed in to the cabin wrapping Kelasin in its freezing embrace, the wooden leg was torn out of her grasp by the force of the wave as it battered against her and dragged her backwards through the hole and out into the open ocean.

Almost blinding panic seized her as her worst nightmare was realized, she was all alone, helpless in the face of the merciless sea she fought desperately to keep her head above water but the sodden mass of her night gown was wrapped around her legs and hampering her movements.

Her head slipped below the surface several times and each time it became harder to fight her way back to the surface, a wave crashed over her head and once again she found her self under the water, using her last reserves of strength she forced her tired fear weakened body to the surface once more even as a feeling of hopelessness grew in her heart for she knew that the next time she went under she would have no strength left to fight with and the sea would claim her as its own.

As she came to the surface for the final time her head came into sharp contact with what seemed to be a broken fragment of a ships mast ropes still tangled about its length, stars flashed in front of her eyes at the impact and she struggled to stay conscious as she flung her arms over it, resting her forehead against its reassuringly firm surface for a moment then reached out and caught hold of the ropes, dragging them to her she wrapped them around her chest then tied the other end to the mast as tightly as she could with finger numb with cold and arms that shook with fatigue, but with much struggling she finally managed to get it tied anchoring herself to its length, her head fell forwards, her cheek resting on the cold sodden wood as her fear battered terrified mind gave up the struggle and she slipped away in to the dark safe depths of unconsciousness.

Will wandered aimlessly down the beach; he had set himself the task of searching for any signs of their ship, it was possible that some of the wreckage had washed up on the beach along with them, some of it might be useful but his mind kept slipping back to Jack and Elizabeth, sighing for what seemed the hundredth time he dragged his mind back to the task at hand, raising his eyes from their sightless contemplation of the sand at his feet he searched the beach and surf ahead for possible wreckage.

There was nothing on the beach, it stretched away from him quiet and empty for what seemed like miles, he turned his gaze to the sea, something caught his eye some way off, there was a long dark shape moving slowly to and fro rocked gently by the ebb and flow of the waves.

Will squinted his eyes as he tried to make out what it was as he started to make his way towards it, it seemed to be a log of some kind, maybe even the mast of the ship, as he drew closer he realized there seemed to be something attached to it at one end probably just a piece of sail cloth, he was soon running however as he realized that it was no useless piece of sail cloth but was in fact a person.

As he drew closer, he saw that it was infact a young woman, untangling her from the ropes that were holding her firmly to the piece of broken mast, he dragged her to shore laying her down carefully in the sand he turned her over and found himself staring at the face of the strange girl from his dream, he reached out a trembling hand and stroked her cheek half afraid that he had gone mad and that she was a figment of his imagination and that she would vanish at the first touch of his hand and half of him hopped she would because at lest madness made sense, if she was real it would be a lot harder to explain.

At the first touch of his hands, her eyes fluttered open, and she smiled up at him weekly. “Who are you?” he asked in confusion as he realized she was indeed real and was not going to vanish.

Kelasin forced her tired eyes open as she felt warm fingers stroke her cheek and found herself staring up at the confused face of Will Turner from her dream, well if she was dead this wasn’t so bad she thought as she smiled at him, at his question her smile grew it was the same one he had asked her last time she had seen him, so she wasn’t dead after all just dreaming again, well at least this one was different and was for once on dry land and in the sun shine as well, as he asked his question for a second time Kelasin swallowed the dryness in her throat as she tried to speak.

“A dream Will, just a dream…” With that her eyes closed once more and she slipped back into unconsciousness, leaving Will staring down at her in confusion.
