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.
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
