Chapter Nine
Raven’s Peak:
Ariadne masked her expression; she didn't know yet if she was going to tell her brother about her “friend” leaving her notes. Orion motioned to her asking with his eyes and hand what the note was about. Ariadne shook her head with a smile.
“Nothing, just Robbie making sure we have everything.” Ariadne said quickly, making something up.
“They are good people. I will go down there in the morning and thank them.” Orion said, taking a sip from his tea.
Ariadne looked from the note to her brother and then crumpled into her hand. Andromeda the word echoing in her mind, what did it mean? Could it mean that the traitor was on andromeda? Could it mean there was something about the ship or the recent contracts it made? She sighed frustrated, the note fairy

Wounds: “Wake up! Wake up! Ari. What is this?” An angry Orion said, shaking his sister. Ariadne began hitting whatever was attacking her. She threw a fist as she sat up towards her attacker. Orion blocked and grabbed a hold of her fist. He then second guessed about waking her up like this. “Ari it's me! Stop!” Orion yelled. “What the hell are you doing?” Ari said, yanking her fist back. “I could ask you the same, what is this?” Ori said, holding another note in front of her face. Ari went to grab but Orion pulled back his face looking like their father right now when they would be intolerable. “Orion I don't know what it i

Buried at sea: 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.
