So I know that I’m kind of reaching with this chapter but I tried so please ignore it.

*Lola's P.O.V*

Yesterday was incredibly stressful and hopefully today will be better. Last night I decided I would talk to Papí about how I got here and see if he can help me. I waited until after breakfast and then followed Papí to his office.

"Papí, I need to talk to you. Es muy importante."I stressed.

"Alright, Lola. Take a seat and tell me what's wrong." He said and waited patiently.

"So, I'm not sure how to say this. I really don't want you to think I'm loco." I started off.

"Just tell me, poppet. You know you can tell me anything." Papí said with a calming smile.

"Alright. I don't belong here. I'm not really even sure how I got here."

"What do you mean?" He asked, confused.

"Papí, por favor, be opened minded when I tell you this. Ayer, before we docked, I know for fact I was not on that ship. I was at home in the United States of America about 300 years in the future." I said quickly and tensed in preparation for his reaction.

"...Okay. I’m not sure what to say to that, Lola.” He blinked.

“I know it seems crazy but it’s the truth. I was in my room playing my new assassin’s creed game and I was at the part where they were talking about the observatory when everything just turned off and I tried to turn it back on but a hand grabbed me and I fainted and woke up on the ship. I have no idea what happened or how to get back. I’m so confused and I just-. I don’t belong here. Not that I don’t want to be here with you and Mamí. Sólo hay que volver a mi tiempo con la Mamí y del futuro. Ni siquiera sé que me agarraron ni por qué.” I completely rambled and only stopped to breath.

“…”

“You think I’m crazy don’t you?” I asked and started to sob.

“NO! Of course I don’t, Poppet. I just find it a little hard to comprehend.” He said and ran to hug me.

“Really? Because I’m starting to think I’m crazy with everything that’s going on.” I sniffled.

“Lola, you are one of the sanest people I know. Honestly, it does sound a little farfetched but you know I like to believe anything is possible.” Papí says and I believe him. I just needed to hear him say that.

"What do I do, Papí?"

"I'm not sure. I don't think there's anything you can do. If you were brought here for a purpose then eventually you should find out what it is. Until then you can just try to go about your business." He tried.

"I'll try Papí." I said and wiped away my tears.

"Good. Now go see if your mother needs you to do anything." He said and went to his desk. Just before I turned to leave I caught sight of someone outside the window. I looked towards Papí, who was watching me, and made subtle gestures to the window. He understood and pretended to pick something up off the floor before quickly grabbing at the person outside. They struggled and was barely able to get away after the part of the clothes that Papí grabbed tore.

"Bloody hell!" Papí said in frustration.

"It's alright Papí. I'm sure it was nothing." I said trying to placate him.

"You're right. Just go help your mother now, please."

"Alright." I said and left his office to go help Mamí. Unbeknownst to us the man outside the window was a Templar spy. He made his way through town to meet up with Governor Torres.

*Third person*

The Templar spy tore through the city with his new discovery. Upon approaching the governor's mansion he was immediately allowed passage. He made his way to Governor Torres' study where he was meeting with fellow Templars over their pirate problem.

"Governor Torres, pardon my rude interruption and appearance, I have some news." Panted the exhausted man.

"Speak young man."

"I just overheard a conversation at the Grey estate. His only daughter was speaking to him and it was strange but she mentioned the assassins and a conversation regarding the observatory." He reported and this caught the immediate attention of every person in the room.

"Is there anything else?" Torres pushed.

"The only other strange thing is that she went on about not belonging here. She said she was from 300 years in the future and was brought here by someone." He went on to explain.

"Peculiar. Gentlemen I think we need to speak with young Ms. Grey very soon." Announced Torres.

"But how? We can't just waltz up and take her. Too many people like the Grey family. It would cause a riot to have his young daughter grabbed by the government. We also can't risk bringing the attention of the assassins to her. They'll be suspicious if we target this one girl." Voiced another Templar.

"True. So I suggest we have her brought to us. We'll stage an attempted kidnapping and Julien will 'rescue' her. He will bring her here to await her family. This will give us time to gently question her and if she doesn't want to speak, we make her." Proposed the governor.  

The group of men continued to plan ignorant to the assassin spy dressed as a guard. Once the man left his disguise he sent a carrier pigeon to Ah Tabai of his findings.

*Lola's P.O.V*

I'm really curious about who that man listening in on our conversation was. I have a really bad feeling about him but I can't let that ruin my day. I felt good knowing that Papí believes me. I did what he told me to do after I left his office and went to help Mamí.  We were currently coming back from the market.

"Gracías Querida. Pero make sure you don't ruin your dress." She said and I immediately became curious as to why. She usually never cares how messy my dress gets if there's no one here.

"Claro que sí, Mamí." I said a walked more carefully.

"Do ye ladies need help?" Asked a familiar voice coming up behind us. I looked back and saw James. How in the hell did he get behind us without making a sound?

"We would really appreciate it. Gracías." Mamí said and handed him the things she was holding.

"No problem."He said.

"Lolita, you and Capitán Kidd go to the house. I still have some things to get." Mamí said and sent me a wink when James turned to walk towards the house. I gaped at her before jogging to catch up with him.

"¿Cómo ha sido tu día? I'm sorry. How has your day been?" I asked as we walked side by side.

"It was a bit stressful but it's smoothed out now. How about yers?" He asked.

"Surprising, when I was talking to Papí earlier some guy was outside of the window listening in. I'm not sure why but I've been having a bad feeling about that all day." I said as we approached the porch. His eyes narrowed but I didn't catch it.

"I'm sure it's nothing to worry about but if ye ever need me ye can find me at the tavern or on my ship. Alight?" He walked ahead to open the door for me.

"Sí. Thank you, James." I said walking through the door and leading him to the kitchen.

"Yer welcome, la-. I mean Lola." He corrected.

"So are you going to be meeting with Papí now?" I asked putting the groceries away.

"I can afford t' be late. Tell me about yerself." He said following me.

"There's not really much to tell. Yo nací en Venezuela. Mamí was too pero Papí es from Inglaterra. Tú sabe, we lived in Panama up until recently. I don't really remember why we left but we ended up here en Havana." I spoke mindlessly as we worked.

"So are ye enjoying yer stay en Havana?" He inquired.

"Sí. The people here are muy simpatico towards me. Although I have been getting far too many offers of courtship when I go outside alone." I missed the narrowing of his eyes when this was said.

"That's t' be expected when such a lovely lass as yerself walks about. I've told ye before, yer very tempting. But tell me, have ye accepted any of these offers?" He asked stalking behind me. I jumped in surprise and whirled around to find that he had me caged against the counter.

"Not that it's any of your business but no. I'm not really interested in being in any kind of relationship beyond friendship at the moment." I glared at him when he smirked.

"Well then it's a good thing ye said no." He said.

"And why is that Señor Kidd? After all, who I choose to allow to court me has nothing to do with you?" I scowled at him. I gasped in surprise as he grabbed my waist and pulled me up against him. He leaned into my ear and just stayed there for a second before speaking.

"Let's just make this very clear, I don't share. Just because ye refuse t' acknowledge anything happening between us doesn't mean I'm going to stop and it doesn't change the fact that whether ye want t' or not ye will be mine and mine alone." He whispered before pressing a kiss to my neck and then biting down hard to leave a mark. I gasped and stayed still because I didn't want to do anymore damage. When he pulled back I did my best to stay angry.

"What makes you think I would ever want to be yours?" I asked mockingly.

"Simple. I'm not like every other man. I know what I want and I'm not afraid t' surpass the boundaries ye set up time and time again. Ye may not want t' admit it but I can tell, ye like the things I do. Ye like the aggressiveness, the scandalous touches and inappropriate comments. No one else can do that. Ye wouldn't let anyone else get away with that. Only me. That's why I have no doubt that sooner or later ye will give in and ye will be mine. We're young and I'm stubborn, I will go for as long as it takes." He pulled back with a smirk and pressed a rough kiss to my lips. I did my best to resist but I didn't last long before my eyes were fluttering closed. I leaned in to the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck. Eventually the kiss became gentler and dwindled down to chaste pecks to each other's lips.

"You. May. Be. Right." I admitted between pecks. I then pulled away to look him in the eyes. "But that doesn't mean I'm going to make things easy for you. I expect the utmost efforts from you and I will let you know now that I don't share either, If you plan to be with anyone else then give up now because you will never be with me if you dare to touch another woman. ¿Comprende?" I asked.

"There's no one else alive that I could ever be interested in." He responded and I gave him a brilliant smile.

"Don't be so sure. There are thousands of pretty faces in the Caribbean Sea." I teased.

"True but they're not ye. No one else could ever be ye. Not one of those thousands of pretty faces can compete with the one I'm looking at right now." He said, completely serious.

Every hint of laughter was gone from me and all that was left was shock and a desire for him that I'd never felt with anyone else. I couldn't believe he said that but he did and I couldn't push back the rush of butterflies in my stomach that made me want to kiss him for saying that but slap him for making me feel this way. Mainly because I knew that he meant it, he meant every single word and it made me excited and anxious. I wanted to see just how he would back up those words. He made me feel like nothing else mattered anymore, like no one would ever make me feel so damn important. No one could attempt to make me feel so irreplaceable or cherished and I loved it. I knew I would come to crave hearing his voice. Hearing him cover me in compliments and hold me as if he never wanted to let me go. Before I thought it wouldn't be a good idea to form relationships just to leave but I knew I wouldn't be able to keep myself from falling for him even if that meant inevitable heartbreak. With this thought in mind I gave him a gentle kiss, hoping to convey everything I was feeling at the moment.

"Gracías." I whispered and gave him one final kiss before pulling back. I gave him a soft smile and he returned it.

"Ye're welcome."

"Stay for dinner. Por favor."He nodded and gave me a quick squeeze before letting me go and heading to my father's office.

I stood in kitchen with a smile on my face and my hand resting against my cheek. This was how my mother found me a few minutes later.

"What's that smile for, Lolita?" Mamí asked in a knowing voice when she entered the kitchen.

"No reason, Mamí." I said and turned to start making dinner.

"¿Seguro que no tiene nada que ver con el Capitán Kidd?" She teased and I blushed.

"No it doesn't but he is staying for dinner." I lied.

"No hay necesidad de mentir. Capitán Kidd es un buen hombre. Además no lastima que es tan guapo." She said.

"Mamí, he's a pirate. Not many mothers would want sus niñas to be interested in a pirate." I pointed out.

"Yo sabe, Querida. Pero he is not a bad man and he seems to be fond of you. I know he is willing to take care of you, Lolita." She mused.

"How do you know that, Mamí?" I asked, curiously.

"I'm a mother, Lolita. Mothers always know when someone is interested in their child. Besides he looks at you the same way tu padré looked at me when we were young. The way he still looks at me even after all these years. It is the look of a man who has found su alma gemela, their soul mate, Lolita. The person they would be willing to risk everything for and would tear anyone apart to get to them." She explained and I paused at her words.

"Are you sure, Mamí? I mean we hardly know even know each other. Does he really look at me like that?" I asked quietly.

"Sí, niña. I understand that but sometimes you don’t have to know someone like the back of your hand to know that you’ve met your match. Love is different for everyone but remains the same is that losing it will hurt, deeply. Don't let a man like that get away. He'd probably give you the sun if you asked. And if not he'd grab everything along the way for you. There aren't many men that would do that for you. Don't let the one man who would get away." She said pulling me into a calming hug.

"I won't, Mamí. I promise." I said hugging her tightly.

*An hour later*

I knocked on Papí's door.

"Yes?" Called Papí.

"Dinner's ready!" I exclaimed and made my way back to the kitchen. I was helping Mamí bring the food into the dining hall when I thought I saw someone outside of the window. I paused in the hallway and stared out the window, trying to catch sight of them.

"What's wrong lass?" Asked James coming to stand beside me.

"I could have sworn I saw someone outside. They were wearing white robes and covered in weapons." I said and he placed a gentle hand on my back to push me forward toward the dining room.

"Nothing to worry about, Lola. Whoever it was is gone now. Let's just concentrate on the meal." He said taking the food out of my arms and leading for me.

"Alright." I said and we started on dinner. I tried to pretend nothing was wrong but I couldn't help thinking that something was going to happen. Throughout dinner I was fidgety, tense and distracted. The only thing that made me stop moving and relax was when James grabbed my hand under the table and squeezed. After that things were a bit better but I was still a scared. After dinner I walked James out.
