Chapter 2

Jack's POV

I still couldn't believe it. She was something different just her touch sent a shock through my entire body. To be honest I could only guess what the hell she was. I had never expirenced someone like her before. Trust me I have been around a long freaking time too. I get down to the lower deck with Munder and Dodge right behind me. I know they are probably wondering what the heck was going on as well.

"So what is she?" Munder asks speaking up.

"I haven't the faintest idea, all I know is she is a problem. Something about her was radating pure good. I have never felt anything like that before." I tell him as I kick a box to my left.

"You think she'll try and stop you?" Dodge asks trying to keep away from me.

"If she figures out what she is, I don't think she knows that she even has powers. If she did then she would either stay away from me or try to kill me. Either way I know we are going to need longer then a week for this. Thanks to her that is." I say as I start to walk out the door.

"What do you want us to do?" Munder asks me as he looks to Dodge.

"Watch and report. Something tells me she will be around her cousin most of the time. Shouldn't be hard to find her. Can you two do that without getting caught?" I ask them as I turn and look at them before putting my hand on the door.

"Yeah, uh what if she does catch us though?" Dodge asks always thinking negative.

"Then flirt with her, odds are she'll like you or push you overboard. Either way we need to distract her." I tell him as I walk out of the room.

Scarlett's POV

Whatever just happened between me and Jack wasn't good. I know that much. When he touched me it was like flames went all through my body yet it wasn't painful...what is with that? After I went back to my room I found my cousin and her beau in an awkward position. I just kept my hands over my eyes as I walked to my room. A few minutes later my cousin walks in with a delirous look on her face.

"You. Need. To. Get. Laid." she says with a big smile on her face.

"I'd rather not but thanks anyway." I tell her as I watch her fall back onto my bed.

I just shake my head. Seriously I don't know how I put up with her at all?

"You remember tonight we have to dress all fancy right? We are sitting with the captain after all. Did you bring a formal dress?" she asks me as she jerks back up to a sitting position on my bed.

"Uh no, you never told me anything about bringing formal clothes." I tell her as I cross my arms over my chest.

"Well I think I brought some dresses for you too. I think I am going to make you look like a princess!" she says as she jumps and grabs my arm pulling me out of my room and into hers.

I am pushed onto the bed as she goes to her closet and pulls out a black dress bag and brings it over to me with a big smile on her face.

"I actually got this for you. It was the last one in your size too so no refunds or exchanges." she says pushing the dress into my hands.

I look at her curiously. How in the world does she know my dress size? I look down and unzip the bag to see a light blue dress. To be honest I really do love it. It looks like it is a ver breatheable material. I stand up and pull the dress out of the bag.

"It's called a goddess dress you know, I think this one was suppose to be after oh which one was it, Athena I think. Goddess of Wisdom I think." she says as I walk to her mirror and hold the dress against me.

"Wow, it's breath taking really. I really like it thanks so much." I tell her with a smile.

"Well get changed then we can do some make up and your hair. You never do anything with your hair besides a ponytail. I am going to make you attract a man tonight!" she tells me as she jumps at me.

I quickly get changed in her bathroom and walk out and do a small spin. She smiles at me as she comes forward with the make up in hand. She only puts on eye shadow and a light red lip stick. After that she attacks my hair as she puts it. During this time she actually blindfolded me telling me she wanted me to be surprised.

I can feel her using her brush to pull my hair almost out at the root. I admit I have a sensative scalp and this is not helping at all! Finally she is done and she lets me see her work. I am surprised when I look and see that she gave me the same hairstyle as Jessica Rabbit. Not that I don't like it I really do as she actually managed to curl some of my hair. I thought that was impossible.

"Wow, I actually look nice for once." I tell her with a giggle.

"Nice, oh honey I expect someone to propose by the end of the night." she says with a laugh. "Now stay here I just gotta get changed really quick."

I smile and nod at her. I look back at the mirror and can barely recodnise the person in front of me. All I know is the person I am looking at looks ten times better then what I am use to. Then my cousin comes back out in a drop dead red dress with a slit all the way up to the hip. No wonder she attracts me, her whole appearnace says tackle me! She quickly comes to the mirror and puts her hair up in a nice up do then adds her jewels. I swear she was a movie star in a past life.

"Right you need something for effect too. Good think I shopped for you as well." she says as she goes to her jewelry box then comes back handing me a blue box. "Consider it an early christmas present."

I open the box and am shocked to see a beautiful necklace. There is a Garnet in the center with three diamonds on each side with matching ear rings. I just look at her and don't know what to say. I can only imagine what this cost.

"Put them on!" she tells me with a laugh.

I quickly put on the jewelry and smile at her. At least she is happy without giving her body to someone this time.

"Come on, we are going to be late." she says grabbing my hand and pulling me out of the room.

Jack's POV

Formal dinners always happen on the first night with this cruise. In my time you needed to have a reason to dress up but here I am in a tuxedo just to watch these people. All the countless souls just waiting for their end. I ignore most of them as I get an odd feeling, I look to the main door and there is Scarlett walking with her cousin. My mouth almost drops to the floor looking at her. She doesn't look like she did earlier she looks almost like an angel. Wait an angel? Oh no is she really an angel and doesn't know it? That would be the main thing to screw up my mission an angel.

I watch as she and her cousin make her way to the captains table. Of course she has connections to people on this ship. She was in one of the most expensive rooms after all. Yet here I am staring at her yet again. I turn away and see Dodge and Munder staring at her as well. It's looks like I'm not the only one that has noticed her.

The night goes on and most of the people including Scarlett's cousin decide to dance on the dance floor. Not Scarlett though, she has had at least five men come up and ask her to dance and she denies them everytime. I look over at Dodge and motion for him to give it a shot. He shoots me a confused look and I just shake my head. I nod back at Scarlett again and then to the dance floor. That time he gets what I mean as he walks through the crowd and up to her.
