Dodge's POV

Something tells me what happened to Scarlett had nothing to do with the ship but Jack instead. I decide to go and find out for sure. I go back to the lowest level of the ship and see Jack sitting there on top of the cases of Gold.

"Did you do that?" I ask him just getting it out of the way.

"Do what?" he says barely looking at me.

"Did you try and send her out of that window?"

"As a matter of fact no it wasn't me. Apparently though I am not the only collector on this ship, it appears I have competition." he tells me looking behind me I see the woman that spilled the drink of Scarlett.

"Hello boys, since it seems you couldn't do your job I was sent to help. Name's Victoria and now I am in charge." she says as she goes up to Jack and puts her finger under his chin making him look up at her.

"Your not in charge if you want to try and replace me I won't go without a fight." Jack tells her.

"Yes, I saw you save the girl. It's sad really it seems you've lost your edge must be due to your old age." Victoria says as she pushes his face away from her.

"You just trying to suck up to the higher ups and I know it. So just stay out my way." Jack says as he stands up and walks to the door where I stand.

"You wanna see if she can die?" Victoria asks him drawing his attention back to her. "We can always test to see if she can."

"If I didn't know any better I would say you see her as a threat." Jack tells her with a small smile.

"I just don't want you all to be distracted over one woman." Victoria says as she looks to me this time. "Poor lost souls. Trust me if you do screw her it won't change anything she is damaged goods."

"You don't know anything about her." I say but Jack steps in front of me.

"If I remember correctly you were the one that spilled your drink on her." Jack reminds her.

"Just testing her really. After all I would hate to see you join her side." Victoria says then walks out of the room.

"Remember how I said watch and report?" Jack asks me.

"Yeah."

"Screw that, stay with her at all times I don't care what you have to do even if you do have to sleep with her." Jack says as he leaves the room.

What so now I have permission to sleep with her? I thought regular life was confusing.

Scarlett's POV

After breakfast Munder went off to do whatever it is that he does and I went with my now somewhat sober cousin to some kind of Yoga she likes to do. We both enter a room in our yoga outfits she picked out and it feels like it's 100 degrees in here.

"It's called hot Yoga, helps you sweat out of the bad stuff." she tells me.

"I wouldn't be surprised if people died doing stuff like this." I tell her as we go to our mats and sit down.

"Don't worry you'll be fine." she says as she looks at me.

I then feel a little cool air as the door opens and in walks in now my worst enemy. The woman who poured the drink on me and I wanted to kill her and I mean it. She has the nerve to sit in back of me. Ugh I just want to turn around and punch her in her throat.

The class begins and I really hate that it's so hot in here. I look out the glass windows to the ocean. I really wish I were at the pool instead of sweating in here with a bunch of women I don't even know. After the class ends I walk out first with my cousin.

"See that wasn't so bad." she tells me.

"I need water, hydration, something." I tell her in a sarcastically dry voice.

"Very funny Scarlett. Well I am going to go put my yoga to use after a shower." she says with a wink at me as she walks away.

I just shiver when she mentions stuff like that. I turn to walk away and walk right into something or someone. I look up and see Jack looking down at me. Really how does he do that?

"Hello." I say simply as I pull myself away from him.

"You make it a habit of running into people?" he asks me.

"Nope only you Prince Charming." I tell him as I turn to leave.

"Prince Charming?" he asks me in a surprised voice.

"Yeah you know, he's the prince that always recused the princess." I tell him as I start to walk but he stops me.

"So you are the princess then?"

"Yeah, I guess you could say that." I tell him with a smile only to have it ruined by that woman.

"Oh there's Cinderella." she says with a laugh. "Change up princes today?"

"Hey at least I don't have to settle for one. I have my options." I tell her with a smile and a wink.

Wow a part of me cannot believe I just said that. That really makes me sound like a slut. Oh well I will never meet these people again anyway. Not like it matters.

"What makes you think that he wants someone like you? I am sure he has better taste than that." she says coming up to Jacks side.

I just roll my eyes at her when I feel Jacks arms pull me into him and very quickly he leans down and his lips press against mine. Uh what just happened? Oh right he's kissing me. I haven't been kissed in a long time so I decide to play along and I lean into the kiss. I guess Miss Snob gets the point and decides to walk away. After she does that Jack and I break our kiss together and look at each other.

"Thanks for the save Prince Charming. Kiss wasn't bad either." I tell him as I smile and walk away from him.

Jack's POV

I broke my own rule. I actually kissed her right there in front of Victoria. What was I thinking? I really don't think that I was thinking. I just went with it and kissed her but what really surprised me was she kissed me back. I know Victoria will do something to try and kill her now, just what is the question.

Tonight was the costume party, I really forgot how some costumes could be the sluttiest things I had ever seen and there were plenty of them. Dodge, Munder and I along with the rest of the crew just dressed in our regulation clothing. Victoria on the other handed decided to dress up as the devil, seems to fit her personality pretty well.

Just as she is about to walk up my way I get that feeling again, I look to the side and see Scarlett is a long white satin dress with sparkles on it. Behind her, angel wings of course she came as an angel. Her halo is more like a gold head band that goes around her head. Her cousin looks to be some kind of maid or something but I don't pay much attention to her.

"She came as an angel?" I hear Dodge ask me.

"It appears that she did, like I told you before one of you need to be with her at all times. That means now as well." I tell him.

"Munder is already on his way up to her, look for yourself." Dodge says pointing to Munder who looks like he is in a trance as he walks up to her and starts to talk with her.

"It looks like she cast a spell on him." I say as I look to Dodge who just shrugs.

Just as the contest is about to start we all feel the ship start to rock, what the hell is going on? I look over and see Victoria has a bright smile on her face. I knew she would try something stupid but I didn't think that she would do it this soon.

"Sir it's a rogue wave." I hear one of the men tell the captain.

"Grab the girl and keep her safe, the ship is going to be turned upside down." I tell Dodge who looks at me shocked but nods and starts to make his way up to Munder and Scarlett.

I make my way to Victoria who is in the middle of making out with a random man she just happened to find. I grab the man and push him aside.

"What the hell are you doing?! I had more time and you just had to mess up everything!" I yell at her as she smiles at me.

"I couldn't let you win now could I, now I will make sure your little angel is among the ones I mark." She says as she tries to grab onto me but that is when the wave hits.
