Claire jolted up right in the small cabin bed, her hands clenched trying to figure out what was threatening her. She swung her legs so they were touching the ground as she waited. She was confused because she thought she heard...She could hear it now; men shouting. She stood walking to the door. She could hear men shuffling about as if they were in a hurry. A loud rolling noise from underneath was heard. She instantly knew what it was...cannons. What was going on. She flung open the door and marched out. Men were racing to their post. Everyone's sword was on them. Claire’s eyes spotted Jonah still steering. She frowned while walking to him. Her eyes scan the lower deck looking for Jack. She spotted him across the way giving out orders.
“What the hell is going on?” Claire asked, reaching Jonah's side.

TormentClaire had a big grin as she walked up the stairs to the helm. Jonah was staring at her, his face riddled with confusion. She laughed seeing him.“Once all the men are on board Mr. Jonah, you may set sail.” Claire said, laughing more.“Care to explain how the hell you just did, whatever it is you just did?” Jonah said, staring at her like he couldn't believe his eyes.“I-Claire went to explain but her elbow was caught by someone’s hand. The hand gripped it and led her away from the helm. She groaned rolling her eyes knowing who it was without even looking at him.

Talks:Jack paced the floor across the way in his cabin. He had hours, the last time they came up short he killed one of his men. There were no docking sites along the way so no ships to rob. He sank to the ground in front of his desk leaning against it. He wanted to kill him. He had dreams of doing it. He had thought of every way possible. Drowning him, hanging him, gutting him and leaving him on the floor of his own ship like he deserved. He wanted to watch the life fade from his eyes like he had to watch Jason. He leaned his head back into the desk. Maybe he could just kill him tomorrow, he smirked. Get close enough to him just to run his knife through him. He smiled. He felt like if he could kill Rowling and maybe his first mate, everything would fall apart and it would go back to the way it was. This was his only option. He needed to end it all, he needed to kill Rowling and if he died doing it then s

Rowling:The words he’s here shook him to the core. He glanced down at everything he wanted in life sitting in his lap and he panicked. He grabbed a hold of Claire as he stood up lifting her to her feet as well.“What does he’s here mean exactly?” He asked Jonah his eyes frantically looking about the cabin still holding on to Claire.“Wait what?” Claire asked, snapping out of it.“As in he’s boarding the ship now.” Jonah said his own worries came out in his voice.“Fuck..Fuck..Fuck” Jack said still looking for a place to put Claire.

Want:The door of the cabin opened up and he could hear footsteps. He let out a sigh of frustration. The minutes felt like hours as he waited for Jonah to come back. His stomach twisted, all he wanted to know was that they were off his ship.“What in the hell took so long? Is he off my fucking ship yet?” Jack said, trying to see Jonah.A low chuckle echoed through the cabin. Jack gritted his teeth, he hated this man just as much as Rowling. Jack balled his free hand into a fist, trying to control his anger.“Now Jack, that kind of hurts my feelings. Rushing us out like that. We didn’t even get to chit chat.” Kenton chuckled as he walked closer to Jack.“Rowling has everythi

Plans:It was dark and raining...no not raining she was falling. Wait no not falling, sinking. Sinking down into the dark cold emptiness, her skin burned as water started to flood her lungs. Momma was what she tried to say. She felt warmness and reached out towards it. Warm arms captured her pulling her out of the darkness. Hitting the surface she saw her haunting eyes as she sank back into the ice. Momma was what echoed the surrounding shore line. She was running, running hard and fast. He was coming. Arms picked her up holding her close to her. The warmness she clung to. Redhair flying out behind them as they ran through the dark trees. Run. Falling, falling onto the ground her body felt shattered. He was there again. She stood loud banging echoing in her ears. She glanced around her heart sinking, their old room. The banging coming from the door. A bloody bleed morgan standing between here

Port Sin: Clarie leaned over Jack’s desk hovering over the map she was focused on. She was trying to find the perfect spot. They needed a back up plan in case everything went south or they didn't find what they were looking for. She was deep in thought she didn't hear the door open behind her. She fumbled around with different routes but her mind kept taking her to one spot over and over again. It was a cove but it had a secret passage that seemed to be hidden. She traced her finger along the route of the hidden passage. If she could get Rowling's ship in the cove and block off the exit with another ship; they could somehow ambush him using the hidden passage. She ran her finger from the hidden passage to the cover. It would work perfectly. Her finger tapped the cove as she thought. Warm han

The Frisky Kitten:Jack stepped back into the bar breathless. The smell of blood and burning flesh hit his nose. He had an uneasy feeling balled up in his stomach; His eyes scanned the scene. Several men were on the floor bleeding. A bar maiden was shirking, holding her arm. He scanned the room looking for Jonah and Claire. His stomach knotted up as he didn’t see them. He walked to the bar stepping over the men bleeding on the floor. Reaching the bar he locked eyes with the bar maiden. He didn't have to speak.“The frisky Kitten.” She said crying as she held a cold cloth to her arm.Jack paused for a moment as he reached forward and slowly pulled back the cloth. The letter R was burned into her flesh. He looked at her and then glanced around t

Claire sighed, shaking her head, she glanced over at Jonah who looked just as worn out as well.“Allright to bed boys.” Claire said, crossing her arms in front of her chest.“What?” Jonah said confused scowling.“Are you coming with me?” Jack smirked, stepping closer to her.“No. You both need rest. I can handle the ship with Logan. You both need to actually relax.” Claire said, swatting Jack lightly as he came to her.Jack sighed, pulling her c

Everyone had eyes on him.“Captain?” Dean asked the question that all were thinking.Jack cleared his throat looking about the ship. He hated this ship, hated everything it stood for. He glanced at the men who he hoped were just victims as well.“You all have ten minutes gather your belongings and get on the Evening Star. From there you can get on whichever ship you please and head to wherever. This ship doesn't leave this cove.” Jack shouted.“Dean, Logan I need you to round up whatever treasur

Battle: Claire made her way across the lower deck. The Crown was pulling up closer to the Evening Star. Claire smiled seeing her ship. She missed being captain. She missed commanding a crew and a ship. It felt good to see it. As the Crown pulled up on the other side of the Evening Star Claire spotted Jacob at the helm, his eyes locked with hers and a rush of relief washed over Jacob. She was safe and looked good. Claire smiled and waved at him. Jacob nodded in her direction. Jack walked up to her from behind his eyes locking with Jacob as he slid his hand around Claire’s waist pulling her close to him. Jacob narrowed his eyes at Jack. He hadn't heard the full story yet but all Jacob knew was Jack was the reason Claire was in danger. Claire looked from Jack to Jacob confused. “So your first mate, he feels….. protective over

Meeting:Rowling stood at the bow of the ship watching the cliff as the pulled into Raven’s Peak two other ships trailed behind him. Rowling's ship was a deep dark cherrywood, he had liked the cherry color of it because it reminded him of blood stained wood. He wanted the fear aspect to be in everything he did. His sails were a deep dark blood red and his personal flag was white with a sword hanging above a headless man’s body. He even named the ship Trepidation. It was written on the side of the ship in deep dark bold letters.He studied the green mossy rocks that covered the side of Raven Peak. The excitement and anxiety of waiting was getting to him. He turned his attention to the two other ships. They were nothing great but they would outnumber Jack. That way if he even thought about fighting he would second guess him

Coordinates:Rowling paced his cabin; it was taking so long to get to Raven’s Peak. He knew Jack wouldn't be able to come up with payment and that's when he would make his offer. Join him or he would slaughter his whole crew. “Why do you care so much about him anyways.” Kentons voice echoed in his head. Rowling frowned for a second, he knew from the moment he saw Jack. He knew that Jack was his son. He looked exactly like his lost wife. The same bronze hair and bright hazel eyes. He regretted leaving her. He could still see her standing on the dock, the baby wrapped up in a wool blanket as she cradled him close to her chest. Tears in her eyes as she begged him to stay. He remembered telling her it was for the best. That he would return when he made something of himself. When he could be worthy of her. He never went back. Years later he had found out she died of s

With each step Dean took he was more and more impressed with this man and his ship. Dean followed Gavin up the stairs to the helm. Thomas met him by the wheel. “I just got a message from Jacob. He said Claire is in danger.” Thomas said glaring at Dean. “Aye.” Gavin said, running his hand through his hair. He looked across the harbor and the Crown was ready to go, they were waiting on the Morning Star, waiting on Gavin. He looked at Dean. He frowned his eyes studying him.

Brainless: Jonah hung from his hands struggling, the pain in his shoulder was searing. He had been attempting to break the rope by rubbing his hands and hoping that the hook holding the rope in place would fray them. The ropes did fray but the pain in his shoulder was becoming too much. He felt like any second his shoulders would be detached. He tried his hardest to stand on the tips of toes but he could only balance for so long. A light was seen at the far end of the hull and the sound of footsteps echoed the empty shell. Jonah began to prepare himself mentally. He knew Kenton wouldn't be able to stay away long. He had someone with him and the person was quiet as they approached. Kenton smiled sickly as he walked by Jonah.“Over here.” Kenton said was almost happy.The man with him didn't say a w

Calling for Backup: Claire hovered over the map alittle longer. She heard the cabin door open and she smiled, knowing who it was by the way he walked. He came up behind her and pulled her close to him. “This doesn’t look like your resting.” Jack said firmly. “What's the plan?” Claire said ignoring his comment. “We're going to meet him. We'll fight and pray everything goes well.” Jack said quietly. Claire groaned and shook her head. A smile came across his face seeing her flustered. It meant she was feeling better. She leaned back into him. “That's not a good plan.” She grumbled. “Well it's really our only option.” He

*This chapter contains graphic scenes*Torture:Jonah was dragged into the bottom of Rowling’s ship. The darkness was overwhelming at first before his eyes adjusted. Kenton who was shoving him along seems to have this place memorised. He pushed him to the back corner of the ship and the smell hit him. It was stomach curling. The smell was a mixture of iron, feces, and ammonia. Rowling put a hand onto his face to cover his nose but the smell didn't phase Kenton. He stumbled around looking for something. He struck a match and lit a candle. The amber glow crept into the cracks of this place. As it creeped across the small area of the ship they were in, the source of the smell was uncovered. Rowling and Kenton had designed their own pers
