Ariadne spent all day focusing on the isle contact; she couldn't find what she was missing. It was frustrating she knew it was there but it wasn't standing out to her, Orion was now overlooking it as well. He was becoming just as frustrated. Ariadne had come up with a list of men who were on the Ariadne’s Crown and Andromeda. So far she had five names. It wasn't uncommon for men to swap ships. Especially if they were in the business of making money. Many times men would hop off one ship and jump on the other with no breaks just to continue earning money. She rubbed her forehead as Orion came through the front door.
“Any luck?” He asked her as he sat more papers down.
“I have five names that were on both ships.” Ariadne said, sighing deeply.
“Ok let me

Bucket: Ariadne stumbled up the walkway to their house every now and then clinging to her brother. Orion laughed as he steadied her. “Why don't you just lean on me the rest of the way.” Orion said, trying not to laugh as he tried to grab Ariadne before she stumbled again. “No, I am just fine.” She said, drawing out the last word, swatting her brother away. “Oh I bet you think you are.” Orion laughed letting her wander from the path a little. “I am! I am just great!” Ariadne said, stopping and looking at him as she flapped her arms exgrateredly. “Mhmm. Your head is going to feel really great in the morning.” Orion laughed walking past her.

Note Fairy: Danica stretched, warmth radiated from the side of her. She wiggled closer to it curling into it slightly. She felt it tighten around her. At that moment her brain woke up. Her eyes shot open and she found herself tangled up with Kaleb. His arm draped across her pulling her tightly to his chest. He was still asleep. She got lost in the moment, a small smile came across her face as she watched him. His face was originally scowled but as his grip tightened he seemed to relax. She watched the small amount of sunlight dance across his auburn hair and fall across his face. He had a stumble forming on his chin and lower jaw she reached out and ran her finger down the length of his jaw, the stumble tickling her finger. If at all possible it made him even more handsome. He responded to her touch by wrapping his other arm around her. He nuzzled his face into the nape of her neck, sending

Error: The door slamming behind her drew the attention of the crew. They all seemed to pause and look her way. The glare was still on her face as eyes fell on her. Several of the crew members looked away quickly and the ones still looking wished they had followed suit. Danica narrowed her eyes at them and it was chilling. The men quickly went back to their duties. She walked away from the door and began walking down the stairs. The cabin door flew open behind her. “Dan- Captain.” Kaleb said, catching himself as Danica spun on her heels facing him, her eyes burning holes into him. “Watch what you say.” Danica said, taking a step towards him. “I was just, can we go talk -” Kaleb began trying to find the right thing to say but not draw attention which was already on the

Fall: Danica stood at the helm, her hands firmly on the wheel, the sun beginning to set. Jacob had come by several times to take over but she was still too annoyed with Kaleb to leave the wheel just yet, Jacob came by offering food and a quick break just before sunset and Danica threatenly chased him off. The sky was beautiful shades of red and orange with hints of pink streaks as she shifted her foot slightly. She felt awful but she told herself it was because she had been so annoyed today. Her headache and she felt shaky but she pushed it to the back of her mind, enjoying the sun set. “Captain, I know it's not my place but you really should switch out. I think you might hold the record for staying at the helm the longest.” Adam said coming up behind her with a small smile on his face, trying to keep the mood light.

Mutiny:Screaming, loud angry screaming. Danica shifted in the bed. She couldn't have been asleep long. Checking her surroundings he realized that Kaleb was gone. She stood quickly heading to the cabin door. The yelling becomes louder and clearer.“She's not fit to be captain!” An angry slur came across.“She is Gavin and Morgan’s daughter, it hers right.” Jacob’s voice said calmly.“She has no fucking right beiing on this ship, never mind commanding it.” The voice yelled back.“Watch your fucking mouth.” Kaleb said back.“Listen boy, I'll run my sword through your gut so fast you won't even know you're dead t

Kiss: Ariadne slammed the last bit of paper down. She had redone all current contracts. She was exhausted and had an awful headache. She didn't know when the last time she ate was. She heard a soft knock at the door of the office. She looked at it wondering who it could be, Orion would just walk in. “Come in.” She called to the door, she was holding her head in her hands. The door opened slowly and Patrick popped his head in. He smiled at her as he pushed the door open the rest of the way. He then held up a plate of food and a glass to her. She smiled widely at him. Her stomach grumbled immediately seeing the plate. “You’ve been here so long, I've left and came back twice. I thought you might be hungry.” He smiled and brought the plate over.

*Chapter contains Sexual content*Never:Danica sighed as she walked into the captain’s cabin, her arm was throbbing. She was ignoring the best she could. She walked over to the desk and sat down. She glanced down at the piece of cloth she had tied over her wound, that was once white now bright red. She sighed again, her hand was starting to ache the pain radiating down into her finger tips. She pulled open the drawer to the right of her. Reaching, she grabbed some bandages. She frowned and she needed something to clean it with. She stood going to walk to the door.The door opened up and Kaleb walked in holding a basin of water in his hands. She frowned instantly seeing him. She went to fold her arms across her chest to emphasize how displeased she was that he was here but the pain in her arm made her wince instead.

Caught: “I can't do this anymore!”Patrick shouted, slamming his fist down onto the desk causing the various items on it to shake. His father sat on the other side of the desk staring him down. He grabbed a hold of his glass of wine that was shaking tightly. He watched Patricks shoulders move up and down as he took deep breaths trying to calm himself down. Patricks fist was still resting on the desk as he matched his father’s stare. Their eyes locked burning into each other. Not one of them budging. “What do you mean can't!” Ed shouted back at him, breaking the silence. “This,...this whole scheme. I can't do this. It's wrong.” Patrick said, throwing his arms about as he talked. “You haven't even done anything. You h

Forever: The next several days were a blur. The Smith’s had buried Edward. Patrick had come by several times to see Ariadne. They were now official and very out in the open. They couldnt be in a room without touching one another. Patrick was now co-owner of the company with Kaleb being his partner. They had been discussing merging or being partners in the company. Danica sat by the dock, dunking the tips of her toes in the water reflecting on the first day Patrick came over. He and Ariadne were sitting closely at the kitchen table talking terms of agreement and partnership between the two companies when Danica walked down the stairs. Patrick smiled brightly at her. “Morning Danica.” Patrick said politely to her. Danica smiled back at him, her eyes searching to see if maybe he had com

Treasure Chest:Danica walked silently back to her house with Kaleb. He was clenching his jaw off and on. She didn't know if it was because of the pain in his arm or of everything that happened.“You know, I'm still so angry. He’s dead and I am numb to that but I'm angry. Every ounce of me wanted him to hurt for the years of pain he put us through. The constant beatings , the be the best or else attitude pounded into us, and hurting my mother. I took off as soon as i could and still feel so much guilt from it. I never knew if I did the right thing. My mother begged me to go. He had told her he would kill me the next time he was upset or one of us failed. I was always the least favorite. I don't know if I ever did the right thing leaving. Part of me wanted him to suffer more. To feel what it felt to live the way he made us all.” Kaleb said the

Rescue:Orion gathered what weapons he had in the home. He had several daggers stashed on him, his pistol and sword hung by his waist. Claire was determined to come with him. She walked back into the kitchen for the third time, Jack’s pistol hanging from her hip with her sword on the other side. Orion could tell she also had a dagger in her boot. He smiled a little bit. They couldn't come up with a plan so now they were just going to storm the castle and see what would happen.“Are you sure you're ready?” Orion asked, looking at Claire.“Stop asking me boy, you have no idea what your aunt has done in the past. Now let's go get Jack.” Claire said walking to the door.Ariadne was nervous as she stared the ship into the harb

Kidnapped:Ariadne came out of the captain's cabin, her face flushed a little. She smiled a little embarrassed at seeing what she saw. She straightened up and gained her composure. Patrick raised an eyebrow at her asking what was wrong but she just smiled sweetly in return. He walked over to her with a puzzle look on his face.“Are you alright?” He asked, taking her hand in his.“Aye I’m ok. Kaleb and Dani that's all. Anyways, how's it going with the rest of the crew?.” Ariadne laughed, his fingers entwining with his.“Good we're just waiting on the rest of the flower water.” Patrick said, nodding to the lower deck.The men had lined up and were waiting to get

Cure:Several minutes which seemed like hours passed. They began setting up a system. Each person infected would get serum followed by the flower water. Then those not infected would have the flower water as a precaution if the rash occurred then the serum. Ariadne glanced at Danica who was still out. She sighed heavily, Kaleb touched her shoulder lightly trying to comfort her.“ I don't know what else to do. I can't think of anything else.” She whispered, her voice cracking as she spoke.She could feel her hands starting to shake, she was about to lose it. She took a deep breath in trying to calm herself before she lost control. This was too much, this all was too much. The company, the pressure, the voyage, and now she needed Dani to wake up. She didn't realize it but her breathing rapidly change

Poisoned:They made their way out of the jungle so much quicker and faster than they did before. Their feet hitting the sandy beach soil, arms filled with flowers as they made it to the rowboat all running the best they could on the sand. They all wanted back on the ship as soon as possible. Kaleb dropped his arm full of flowers into the boat Danica and Araidne climbed in. Patrick dropped the ones he was carrying into the rowboat as well. Kaleb and Patrick began pushing the rowboat into the ocean. One the boat was floating in the water they both climbed in. They began to row back to the ship hoping everything was still ok. The ocean water seemed to be effortless to paddle through and they reached the ship in no time. The ropes were lowered down to help capture the row boat. Patrick and Kaleb fastened the rowboat to the ropes and the crew began pulling it up. Once on board they unloaded

Flowers:The rowboat crashed into the ocean Ariadne was flung forward into Patrick’s lap. He wrapped his arms quickly around her, steading her. She smiled softly at him as he helped her sit back on the seat. Danica watched the exchange and she was slowly starting to believe he might be a good guy or a very good actor. It was hard to trust him. Kaleb handed the oar to Patrick and they began making their way back to the island. The sky was now riddled with stars and the moon was the only light they had guiding them. Danica prayed that they could find the way back to the arch way with the white flowers. As they approached the shoreline Danica went to hop out but felt a hand catch her shoulder.“You and Ariadna stay in the boat we can pull it in.'' Patrick said and jumped into the water before she could say anything back.

Almost: Danica’s feet hit the beach sand and the amount of joy she felt finally being out of the jungle and nothing bad happening was overwhelming. She scanned the beach and realized the crew was gone. She could see the Evening Star sitting out just past the shallow. She glanced quickly at Ariadne , her eyes questioning where everyone was. “They are safe. I had them go to the ship. I thought it would be safer.” She smiled at her sister. Jonah came out and stood next to Danica scanning the beach as well. His eyes found the Evening Star and he smiled seeing it sitting in the ocean waiting for them. “Let's get in the row boats.” Jonah said walking ahead to the row boats, he wanted nothing more than to be on his ship.

Tea:Kaleb smirked watching Danica lead the way his eyes fixated on her. Patrick glanced at him slightly as he helped carry the chest. Kalbe caught him looking at him and raised his eyebrow. A silly smile formed on Patrick’s lips.“What?” Kaleb said his voice was drawn out as if he knew what his brother was going to say.“So did you find a reason to stop your endless roaming?” Patrick asked, his smile growing.Ariadne squeezed by the brothers hurrying to catch up to Danica. She raised an eyebrow at Kaleb hearing the question Patrick asked him. Instead of stopping to listen she kept going. They didn't have time for endless chit chat and she needed to form a plan with her sister.“Did you find a reason to take chances?” Kaleb shot back at him and nodded towards Ariadne who hurried to catch up to Danica.The two stared at the two women, both men stunned at the view.
