Rose grumbled in to her pillow, she had stormed in the room ran a towel through her hair drying it as much as she could be bothered before changing into her pajamas, shorts and a strappy top, she had planned to just go to sleep there and then, to nullify any dare, but she couldn't all she could do was yell and grumble into the pillow "No, no, no, no! Stupid Rose! STUPID! Oh yeah, let's play bloody dares, fantastic idea Rosie, bloody amazing!" She threw the top pillow across the room "It was only a dare but you had to go and be mean about it! Look where that got you. Idiot!" It had been awkward as hell to start with anyway, given what Ronni ha
Explosions sounded all around as Rose ran through the streets of Crableg's Haven, some where obviously further away from her, closer to the docks, others were dangerously close to her current position. In fact, if she were to look behind her she would have seen buildings she had passed crumbling under cannon fire. She didn't care though, she had to get to Delta, to make sure she was okay. To get her to safety, she didn't want Delta to get hurt, not that her cousin couldn't take care of herself but there was a little person growing inside of her that needed protecting and she knew that Delta would try to go wherever the trouble was. Before Ros
Delta's eyes scanned over the ship in front of her, Ellie stood in complete awe next to her as they walked up the dock. After their visit to Jacques' home she had set her mind on exactly what she needed to do. When he had pulled her against his chest she was sure she would just break down there and then. She almost had, she had cried like hell, sure, but she couldn't bear to let him see how much she hurt, how much pain he had caused her. She had done something stupid though, in telling him she still loved him, but it was the truth. She couldn't deny that at all, but the rest of her sentence had made his grip on her loosen, it had made his tea
Jacqueline's thumb ran delicately across Ellie's little hand that was encased in her own soft hand, the work roughened hands of before had gone since she had spent five years away from Pirating. He just had to be there at the beach hadn't he? No matter where she went he seemed to follow her, whether he was actually there or not. When she had been washing clothes or cleaning dishes at home, when she had been out shopping, and especially when she was sleeping with beautiful little Ellie snoring gently beside her, Jacques had been there, not in person but plaguing her mind. She sighed and kept her eyes on the faces around her, making sure she re
Delta kept herself as far away as possible from Jacques, keeping him to her left and holding Elisha on her right so that her daughter wasn't next to him. the girl had her head turned into Delta's neck, her breathing cold and slightly ragged, her wet clothes soaking through her mother's dress but Delta didn't care, as long as Ellie was safe and warm. Jacques was right really, she would be much safer at his house than at some scummy tavern. Delta sighed heavily, she wasn't happy with any of this, it was very probably the dumbest idea she had ever had.
