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

Flames:Jack stood in the center of Rowlings ship looking around. He looked to the men who were now standing still waiting for orders. 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

Home:As the Evening Star pulled out of the cove Claire glanced at Jack who was trying his best to keep himself up right. 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

Thank you for reading _ S.E Dymek*Voyage:Claire stood staring into the mirror, her reflection staring back at her. She studied her face, her big sky blue eyes filled with seriousness. She had been up for hours going over everything. What route she was going to take, how long it should take her and how to hold herself in the company of the crew. She had paused for a second just to watch the sunrise, the light dancing across the waves was magic. After that she had returned to looking at herself in the mirror. She had pulled her long golden hair back into the tightest ponytail she could muster. Swallowing hard she continued the staring contest with herself. As if the Claire in the mirror had answers for her

Attack:Jonah watched the captain as his stomach dropped. The queen colors would now make them an enemy to the crown. Pirates were already frown upon but now the queen will personally be attacked and she will not sit by. He knew why the captain was doing it. They were under a time crunch. Right now they were between a rock and a harder place. If they did not deliver to the “pirate king” he would most likely kill them and if they attack the queen’s ship. They will have a bounty placed on their heads. The Captain took over stirring. His grip tightening on the wheel as if he couldn't wait much longer.The unsuspecting ship slowly made its way towards them. Jonah glanced at the crew below. They were ready, they looked almost hungry like they've been bored for too long.“Get Ready Boys

Encounter:Her eyes met his at the sound of her name. She narrowed her eyes at him as he slowly dropped his sword away from her neck. Who was he? She stepped towards him squinting as she studied his face. Her eyes searched, his hazel eyes were familiar, it was like she knew each freckle of gold in them, and his rulely tousled bronze hair reminded her of a young boy she used to know.“Claire.” He repeated his name with a smile slowly coming to his face.“Jackie?” She whispered, unsure of the words coming out of her mout

Aboard:Claire stood aboard The Evening Star, her anger fuming off of her. She couldn't imagine this man being the boy she once knew. The boy who kept her safe aboard the Morning Star. The boy who would every month come back and see her with Jason. Those weekends were the best. He would always bring her something back from his trips. Her hand unknowingly went to her chest. Underneath her shirt hung a necklace. It was an aquamarine stone that hung off a simple silver chain. She smiled softly at the memory.Claire’s feet dangled off the dock; she had just turned fifteen that passing summer. It was September, the day was still long and still hung on to the warmth of summer. She had been counting down to this weekend. Jack was returning, Claire had not seen him in four months. He had written to her and let her know that this

WoundedJack pushed open his cabin door holding it open slightly for Claire who was mumbling under her breath behind them. The ship began to pull away from The Crown. Claire took a deep breath in as she watched her long awaited dream disappear. Her stomach knotted up. She told herself that this was for the best and she was saving her crew by doing this, which any good captain would do. Jack made a small throat noise as he stood in the doorway of his cabin. She sighed again following in after him. She walked over to his desk and began clearing things out of the way. Jack was about to fuss at her but his arm was beginning to bother him. He sat in the chair next to it. He was feeling a little light headed. He glanced down at the puddle beginning to form under his hand. A knock at the door drew his attention.“Come in.&

Impossible: She rolled over, she was so comfortable. She stretched outwards and yawned. She sat up looking around. She must have dozed off. She glanced about at her surroundings and then her mood turned sour. This wasn't her ship, this wasn't her cabin and how the heck did she end up in the bed. She scanned the cabin once more and Jack wasn't anywhere in sight. It would take Jacob even longer now to get to the trades post. She knew he was capable but going the route she had intended was tricky. She knew he wouldn't return for at least two to three weeks. She sighed heavily before standing. She might as well make herself at home...ish. She thought. She headed to the door pausing as she reached for the handle. Jack had made it very clear for her to stay in the cabin. Did he not trust his own crew? What kind of person did he turn into? She thought as she began turning the door handle. She wasn't afraid of any man and she certainly was going to sp

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
The Evening Star Chapter Twenty
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

Escape: Gavin boarded the Morning Star. His man came to attention as his feet hit the deck, he nodded briefly to them as he made his way up to the helm. Dean followed behind him. 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.
The Evening Star Chapter Eighteen
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
