Morgan didn't look back; the pull to stay was too strong. Claire clung to her hand as she made it into the city. It was a small fishing community she noted as she walked by several stands set up by the dock. The men eyed them curiously. She ignored them as they ventured further. The town opened up into a small market. She thought it was a little strange how it went straight to selling things but if people were new you wanted them to start buying and trading right away; why not Morgan thought.
"Fresh fruit!"a woman called out to them.
Claire looked at her letting her know she was hungry. Morgan nodded and headed over to the fruit stand.
"Go on, which ones do you want?" Morgan said to Claire scooting her up to the stand.

Taken: Robbie leads Claire and Morgan through the small kitchen. They weaved in out of random supplies. Sacks of rice, potatoes, and flour laid out on the floor as the girls followed Robbie. In the very back of the kitchen was a door that led to the outside. They walked through it. Outside the sun was setting and the sky had a warm glow. Even though they were in town you could still feel the sea in the air. Walking out the back door of the inn you faced an old red barn. Robbie led the girls to it. The barn you could tell had been there for a very long time. The red paint was starting to peel away. The barn was an open style barn. Robbie walked through the arch way of the barn. "I'll get him ready. You two wait here." He said to Morgan and Claire. Two stalls were set up on either side. An old white horse gra

Captive: Gavin turned on his heel and raced back to The Morning Star. Jacob, Jason, Thomas, and Alan were running towards him. "Get to the Star!" Gavin yelled at them as he ran towards them. The men stopped looking at him confused. They glanced at one another trying to understand what Gavin yelled. "The Star! Get to the ship!" He yelled again. Jason heard him this time. He nodded to him as he turned towards the ship. "To the Star lads!" Jason said to them. Jason didn't leave them time to understand. He grabbed a hold of Thomas' shoulder and spun him around. Jason then took off to the ship. Thomas and Alan fo

Show time: The Morning Star left the harbor and was now in the open ocean. Gavin focused on Travis's ship. He studied it. There was something off. He narrowed his eyes as they continued towards it. "Captain?" Jason asked. "Travis is waiting for us." Gavin said a hint of surprise in his voice. "Waiting." Jason mimics Gavin's tones. "For as long as I've known him he has never been a straightforward person." Gavin muttered to himself. "Aye. He's very manipulative. Gavin keep your guard up. I doubt this will be just and exchange." Jason frowned. The world was foggy. She could hear talking. She went to move but couldn'

Begin Again: Gavin's feet touch the wooden floor of the Morning Star. He had planned to carry her to the cabin but Claire came rushing at them. He smiled and set Morgan down. Claire jumped into her arms. Morgan flinched from the pain in her shoulder but she ignored it, squeezing Claire tight. "Morgan I'm so happy they got you back." Claire said, squeezing her. "I was so scared I wouldn't see you again." Claire whispered. Morgan pulled back slightly to see Claire's face. She cupped her hands around her fscr. "Claire bear, there isn't a force on this earth that could keep me from you. Ok?" Morgan said to her. Claire buried her face into Morgan hugging her again . Cliare pulled

Morgan stood in front of the kitchen sink staring out the window. She watched the waves crash on the cliffs below. Gavin had built a house for them overlooking the sea. Morgan was in a bit of trance watching the waves break. A loud noise coming down the stairs drew her attention. Gavin dropped his baggage loudly on the wooden floor. Morgan sighed slightly. Gavin smiled brightly to her and closed the distances between. His hand wrapped around her waist as he pulled her back against him. She leaned into him, sighing happily. He leaned down into her neck placing small kisses in the crease of it. “I have a few minutes.”He mumbled into her skin. She giggled slightly and turned in his arms. Her hand went to his cheek. He leaned into her touch. “Aye but you need those minutes to get your butt down to the ship.” She smil

Thank you for reading- S.E Dymek**** Escape: She couldn't see her hand in front of her face; heart pounding in her chest. She could feel her lungs burning inside of it. A pair of small arms clung around her neck. Hanging on for life. As she forced her legs to keep running. Run. Run. Run. The word screaming in her head. She could feel her legs getting weak. No. She couldn't stop. Branches of passing trees scratched and pulled at her skin as if they were trying to stop them. She knew it was coming and she hated herself. Something caught her foot and they fell forward.

Caught: "MORGAN!! Morgan!!!" Morgan went to jolt upright and hit her head on the wooden crate. She must have nodded off. She thought she heard- "LET GO OF ME. MORGAN!" Claire screamed. Claire- Morgan's stomach burned with dread. She tried to push the crate open. But something wasn't letting her out. "Now, now girly. Why you screaming for?" She heard a man chuckle. Morgan began to panic. She needed out now. She brought her knee up and felt it budge a little. She placed her forearm on the cover and pressed up. "DON'T TOUCH ME!" Morgan with all her strength flew he

The Captain: He stood staring at the map in front of him. They were behind at least three days. It had taken him that long to notice the original map was gone. He gripped the sides of his desk, digging his fingernails into it. He had studied the other map so much, he knew it by heart. It still made his blood boil. The word traitor echoed in his head. He traced his course on the map. They were there. He knew they had to be. He needs to catch up or take a shortcut, something. He needed to destroy him. He was going to burn his whole world. Just as he did to him. He would make the bastard watch as he did it though. Fire. He could still smell the smoke. He could still see the flames pouring out the windows when he closed his eyes. Still feel the rain hitting his skin; it's amazing how it could be raining and a fire could still be going. Sweat beaded across his for

Goodbye: Morgan made her way to the front of the helm. The men were still cheering and celebrating. She smiled seeing their reaction. She was very relieved to finally be out of the gulley. Jason saw her and smiled at her. She walked over and squeezed his shoulder "I don't know how you all came up or pulled that off but I'm thankful it worked." Jason chuckled. "Yes Thank god. I heard-" she started to say but then she found her answer. The crow nest was on the floor of the lower deck. Shattered pieces of wood scattered about. She moved away from Jason, her eyes studying the scene. The mass that held the crows nest was cracked at the top like something just snapped it. It was just the very top so the sails were not damaged. She didn't even realize it b

Illusions: Gavin had left Chris and made his way up to the helm. Jason was deep in thought concentrating on the ocean. Gavin approached him frustrated. Jason raised an eyebrow at him as if to ask what was wrong. Gavin took a deep breath in. "She was right." Gavin said to Jason in one exhale. Jason looked at him confused. Gavin took a step closer and lowered his voice. " Morgan. She's right about Chris. He tried to steal the map and somehow planted poison on Morgan. He's somehow aligned with Travis." Gavin explained, his stomach feeling like it was burning at the mention of Travis's name. He was doing everything possible to remain in control. Ignoring every impulse he had. All he wanted to do right now was to
The Morning Star Chapter Nineteen
Liar: Morgan stood outside the cabin on the upper deck. This can't be happening, she thought. How could he not believe her? What would she have to gain? She was hurt and angry and then angry because she was hurt. She glanced back at the cabin door wanting to go back in. Wanting to talk to him. Wanting to make him understand. She began to turn back to the door but felt Jason's hand on her arm stopping her. " I'm sorry lass. Orders are orders." Jason said with remorse in his voice. She exhaled the breath she was holding in and started to stairs. With Jason close behind her she started down them into the lower deck. She was lost in her own thoughts of what she could do or say to make him believe her. She mindlessly walked across the lower deck feeling like a pris
