Chapter 7
Jack's POV
"That's one pissed off angel." Dodge says stating the obvious.
"One who can apparently have visions?" Munder adds on.
"Odd that she has that sort of power, still I believe I need to have a little talk with Victoria." I say as I start to walk out of the room.
"That is if Scarlett hasn't tried to kill her or whatever angels can do." Munder says.
"Angels can save people, that's it." I say as I walk out.
Munder's POV
For some reason I can't stand the thought of Scarlett being mad at me and now here I am on my way to her room to grovel. I can't believe I am doing this either. I walk up to her room and knock on the door, within a matter of moments Scarlett opens the door.
"Listen I don't want you to be mad at me, for some reason I can't stand the thought of it." I tell her as she listens to me.
"What makes you think it's you I'm mad at? It's not but can you tell me what happened to you and Dodge?" she asks me as she lets me into her room.
I walk inside and sit down on her bed as I tell her the whole story about my old crew, trying to fix the old ship that had the gold in it, all the deaths that happened on it and by the time I am done telling her all of this I don't think a ghost looked as pale as she was.
"He's fucking crazy, trapping all those souls and now not to mention he has competition." She says with a sigh as she looks at me. "Well what do we do then? Just let them? I can't stand by and do nothing."
"No one would believe you, I mean come on this sounds like a sci fi mystery." I tell her as I notice her scoot close to me. "What are you doing?"
"Well you say you're damned and I'm an angel, I am going to see if there is any way to save you." She says as she now practically sits on my lap.
"You mean you want to...with me?" I ask her as she leans in and captures my lips with hers. "Scarlett are you sure?"
"Munder shut up, this ship is about to become chaos I need someone on my side." She says as she pushes me back onto the bed.
I would have been on her side anyway but I haven't done this in a long time so I figured what is the worst that could happen? As she kisses me I can feel the one feeling that Dodge talked about. I am actually happy when she kisses me. I kiss her back and turn her around to where she is now on the bottom.
I feel her grab onto me and wrap her legs around my waist. I couldn't hold back anymore. I had never wanted to be with someone so much in my life. I didn't know how long we were together but when we were finished she was lying beside me with her head on my chest. That's when the burning feeling came.
"Aha!" I yelled as I held my arm that was marked.
"What's wrong?" she asks as she looks to me keeping the sheet to cover her.
I look at my arm where the mark once was. To my surprise it isn't there anymore. I look back to Scarlett in shock as she just looks confused.
"It's gone, my mark from him is gone." I tell her as I grab her and kiss her again.
"Really? I just needed to have sex with you and that's it?" she questions.
"No when we did that I wasn't just having sex with you or fucking you as some call it I was actually making love to you." I tell her as I kiss her again.
"As sweet as that is, I don't want to just make love to people to save them." She tells me as she quickly gets re dressed and I follow her example.
Once we get back downstairs we see Jack and Victoria about to get into a fight, to my other surprise Scarlett walks up and barely puts her hand on Victoria's shoulder but she acts like she's been burned. Jack seems to be just as surprised as Scarlett as he grabs Scarlett and pulls her away from Victoria.
"What the hell did she do to me?" Victoria asks Jack as I walk up to them.
"She barely touched you and you acted like you were on fire." Jack says and I can clearly see his hand is touching Scarlett but it doesn't affect him like it did Scarlett.
"Listen here little girl-" Victoria starts but now that Scarlett knows she has a power she decides to use it and slaps Victoria as hard as she can knocking her to the ground.
"You don't scare me, your evil and I'm good. We all know I can defeat you." Scarlett says with a certain power within her statement.
"Well someone has become brave." Victoria says standing up and adjusting herself then she looks to me. "And saved a soul, how'd you do it angel? Sleep with him?"
Jack and Dodge both look at me now with not a very friendly look on their faces. I just shrug as I go to stand behind Scarlett who also is clearly pissed off.
"Even if I did, it's no concern of yours demon. He is under my protection as are the other two idiots. I suggest you go find another playground." Scarlett says stepping forward but this time both Jack and Dodge hold her back.
"They will still die, even if I'm not here." Victoria as she looks to Jack.
"He doesn't scare me, I was sent here for a reason and you don't need to be involved." Scarlett warns her as she relaxes in Jack and Dodges arms.
"I won't leave I have just as much a right to be here as Jack does." Victoria tells her.
"Neither of you have the right to claim souls, that's why I am here. To stop both of you." Scarlett says and that's when I get a good look at her right now her eyes were a bright blue but when we were together they were green. This must be the side to Scarlett that was an angel.
"Don't threaten me-"Victoria tries to warn her.
"It's not a threat, it's a promise any soul you try to take I will release and you will be punished." Scarlett says as she looks back to Dodge and Jack. "Even if I have to save those two as well."
Victoria seems to be at a loss as she turns and walks away from us. That is when Scarlett's body goes limp and she falls into Jack's arms. Both Dodge and Jack look up at me and I know I am about to get the questioning of a lifetime. Jack picks up Scarlett and we walk into the theater.
"What the hell just happened?" Dodge asks.
"Another part of her took over, when I looked at her I mean her eyes were a bright blue when normally they are green." I offer up my version of an answer.
"You really did memorize everything about her didn't you?" Jack asks me.
"Yeah what about you being saved? Is that a load of crap that Victoria just made up?" Dodge asks.
"No, she really did save me somehow...I can't really explain it." I say as I put my hand where the mark use to be.
"What did you do to be saved?" Jack asks this time as he lays Scarlett down on a lounge.
"Uh...we sorta had well..." I try to explain as I scratch my head embarrassed.
"You and the angel had relations? Oh that must be something." Jack says looking back to Scarlett with a scoff.
"That's all it takes to be saved?" Dodge questions.
"No, it has to do with pure love and forgiveness. I told her everything and when we were you know together I said three words to her I never said to another woman." I admit as I look to Scarlett.
"Forgiveness and Love, two things you weren't supposed to be able to feel." Jack says as he looks my way and start to come at me.
I know I should be scared of him but as he tries to reach for me Scarlett sits up and looks over his way.
"LEAVE HIM ALONE! HE IS NO LONGER UNDER YOUR MARK!" Scarlett yells then puts her hands over her mouth surprised by what she said.
