Chapter Twenty - Four
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.&
The Evening Star Chapter Six
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

Trap: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.
