a new beginning| stephen & brianna
thirty days had gone by since brianna had been snatched from the beach. thirty days since bonnet had explained his intentions for not just her but their son. she never imagined that he would want such a thing. he truly seemed to believe that he could change and become a gentlemen. the first two weeks had not been easy in the least. her only solace was when jemmy was brought to her. she had practically begged for her son. she had tried to figure out ways to escape but had come up with nothing. of course she had been forced to play along at first. especially when jemmy was brought she would do anything to keep him safe. what stunned her was just how tender stephen seemed to be with her boy. she couldn't exactly figure out when things had begun to change. when it became less about just pleasing him and actually trying to do what he wanted of her.
a small part of her was praying that her parents and roger would find a way to save her. yet she knew that no matter what she had to just keep on going. in spite of their circumstances stephen was taking care of them. he even seemed to go out of his way to make sure she had everything that she might need. that afternoon she had gone out for the first time since her arrival. the island was rather quiet near stephen's home. she had wanted to take jemmy out to allow him fresh air. the two of them had been playing, running and getting their toes wet. all the while watching the whales which reminded her of her mother. she was nearly breathless, giggling as she and jemmy rolled in the sand. one of stephen's men was posted nearby and he had left earlier that day. she never asked because she didn't want to know what he was up to. yet he always returned but she didn't know how he would handle her being outside of his home.@eightholyterrors
