a few months later, word had spread around that Eldoria had a new king. his name was James, and from the talk about him, he was terrible. the kingdom was in ruins apparently.

jake, being jake, decided that we should go check it out.

i watched off of the side of the ship as we came up to the island. it was grey and dark, and it seemed so lost. i took a deep breath, smelling the smoke from the air. it was thick and burned your lungs on inhale.

"drop anchor!" jake yelled.

"aye!" one of the crewmates yelled. two of them lifted the anchor from the deck and threw it off of the side.

"my star, welcome home." jake said as he approached me.

"its not home anymore." i replied with a small smile as he held my hand in his.

"youre my home." i added as i looked up at him. he smiled and released my hand, only to wrap his arm around my waist. i laid my head on his shoulder as the crew lowered the net.

he led me to the net, helping me down along with him. i took a look around the kingdom. it looked to be in shambles as people crowded the streets, begging for food or money.

there was a mother sitting on a dirty, torn up blanket, in raggedy clothing. she hadnt bathed for weeks, and you could tell. i came up to her, kneeling down to her level and i took her hand in mine, slipping her a handful of gold coins.

"how many children do you have?" i asked.

"4." she replied. i gave her a bunch of coins and she thanked me endlessly. jake did the same, passing out coins to the people in need. we met at the end of the cobblestone road, at the entrance to the massive castle.

"ma'am, step away." one of the guards said as he stood tall, guarding the gate.

"alden, its me." i said as i tipped my hat up a little so he could see my face.

"your highness, my apologies. right this way." he said, opening the gate for me. i stepped in, and jake tried to follow behind, but he was stopped.

"alden, allow him in, please." i said. he hesitated for a moment, before opening the gate just enough to let jake slip in. he gave him a nod and tipped his hat in thanks and we watched as he locked the gate again.

we walked to the huge doors that were guarded by 4 men. they allowed us in, giving us a dirty look as we passed. i led jake to the throne room, and there he sat, picking at a grape, deciding if it was good enough for him to eat.

"i am not accepting visitors at this time." he announced.

"youll be accepting me, your highness." i replied as i took my hat off.

"ahhh." he said as he set the grape back down.

"tsk tsk tsk. look who finally came along. your kingdom is in shambles because you made the poor decision to leave." he added.

"i think you mean, your kingdom." i replied as i crossed my arms.

"whosever kingdom it is, you still left." he said nonchalantly.

"i was kidnapped!" i retorted. jake hated when i used that word, but it was the only one fitting.

"i was taken from my kingdom, thrown on a ship and taken away." i added as i nervously ran my hand through my hair.

"fair enough, but it doesnt matter. i am king now." he said as he picked the grape back up.

"unless," he said as he inspected it.

"there is an arranged marriage. then you will be queen and have your kingdom back." he said as he held the small, deep red berry in his hand.

"to whom?" i asked.

"to me." he snickered as he let the berry drop to the floor. i watched as it rolled along, until one of the maids quickly picked it up and mumbled her apologies for being in the way.

"allow me to think about it." i responded as i turned to jake.

"may we go to one of the quarters to talk?" i announced as we stared at eachother. a look of hurt and anger washed over his face as he looked away from me and up at the king. he waved his hand, shooing jake and i away.

we went to my old quarters, and i looked around the room. it looked like nothing had changed. i ran my hand over the wall, taking in all of the memories.

"this is my room." i said softly as i looked around. there were still dresses laid out from the day i was taken.

"so, marriage, huh?" jake said as he sat on my bed, looking at the small stuffed bear that sat on my bed. i turned around to face him, admiring his soft features. he looked so heart broken.

"jake." i said as i lifted his face to face me. his eyes closed as he savored my touch. i tucked his hair behind his ears and held his jawline in the palms of my hands.

"my heart will always belong to you." i added as i kissed his head before i pressed our foreheads together. he wrapped his arms around my waist, lazily letting them hang off.

"the only person i want to be married to, is you. think about it, we could have children and we could even live here. you wouldnt have your life threatened anymore. you could be unstoppable." i cooed. i could feel a warm tear seep into the gap between his jaw and my hand. leaning back a little bit, i wiped his tear away and admired him.

"my star," he started.

"i dont think we will work in the end. were two, opposite people and i dont know if we can make it this time. you might get married to a different man, and i have my duties on the ship." he sighed as he finally opened his eyes.

"dont say that, please? we can work. we can work things out, and live how we want to!" i nearly begged. his hands trailed up my spine and back down as he was lost deep in thought.

"your kingdom needs you, just as the sea needs me." he said as he pressed a kiss to my head. he gently moved me away from himself and stood up, straightening himself up before reaching for the door handle.

"we will meet again, my star." he said as he finally opened it and just as fast as he opened it, he was gone. i chased him out into the hall, but he wasnt there. it was like he had disappeared into thin air.

my heart shattered at my feet as i looked back at the door. tears welled up in my eyes as i came back into the room, holding myself in my arms. this was the inevitable end, i would likely never see him again.

a month later, it was the night of the king and i's wedding. we walked down the long hall, and into his bedroom, he had made it very clear that he didnt want a woman sleeping in his bed.

"go to your quarters, i can walk myself to my own." he said. i nodded and held my own hand as i quickly made my way to my quarters.

my hands ran over the gold corset that lined my waist, just like the first one. the ruby necklace that i had refused to take off no matter what, still lined my neck. i held onto one of the jewels as i looked at myself in the mirror.

my eyes had never looked so dull and sad. sometimes i had envisioned seeing jake in the room, yet it was just my imagination. i had missed him so much. his touch, his hold, everything. it was all so miserable without him. i closed my eyes and held myself for a moment, trying to remember his touch.

that was when a pair of arms wrapped around me.

"i thought you were supposed to be in your quarters?" i said, not bothering to open my eyes.

"my quarters are about 2 miles away, my star." he replied. my eyes immediately darted open and my arms flew around him.

"i missed you so much. please take me with you." i mumbled. he pressed a soft kiss against my lips and held me there for as long as he could stand holding his breath.

"ill try my best, sweetheart." he replied.

"what about the king?" i quickly said.

"hes being taken care of." jake smirked as he held my waist.

"i have to hide, the guards are coming." he said as he let go of me and went back out of the window he must have come in. i watched as he disappeared and the guards came in.

"were taking you to a safe place. an emergency has happened." alden explained as he gently took me by the arm. they led me out to a carriage and it took me about 20 minutes away.

when we arrived at a small cottage, they made sure to lock all of the doors and keep everyone on guard. a woman came into the room, offering everyone tea. before i took a sip, alden had to test it to make sure it wasnt poisoned. i took a polite sip off of it before closing my eyes to relax.

"what happened?" i questioned. alden shook his head no, letting me know that now wasnt the time to talk about it.

in the morning, i was back at my castle, listening to the guards quietly tell the story of my husbands "untimely death". fake tears had covered my under eyes all morning, to the point where my face was rubbed raw from wiping them away so often.

"who will the queen marry?" one of the guards asked quietly to the other.

"maybe me?" he boasted as he puffed his chest out. i gave him a glare and his chest immediately sunk back in. i watched the door as it opened, bringing in a person and 3 guards.

"your majesty." alden announced as he brought the person closer.

"my star." jake smiled.

"hello!" i smiled as he came closer.

"not too close." one of the other guards warned.

"its fine. i trust him." i replied as jake was allowed closer with a little hesitation from the guards.

"may i talk to you in the gardens?" i smiled as he looked at the guards.

"not without protection, your majesty." alden said as he stood tall.

"aye." jake replied as he helped me off of my throne. i held his hand in mine as we walked down the large corridor, and into the gardens. the beautiful hydrangeas that lined the garden made the green of the grass proudly stand out.

"my love, i miss you so much." i said softly.

"me as well, lassie." he replied, taking both of my hands in his.

"you look so beautiful." he said softly as he reached down into one of his pockets. the guards immediately pointed their bayonets at him and he gently pushed one of them away from his face. thats when he pulled a small box from his pocket and sunk down onto his knee.

"my love, will you marry me?" he asked as he looked up at me. i happily nodded and he stood up, pulling me into a tight hug. he kissed my cheek and the guards put the bayonets down, allowing him to kiss me. he gently pulled away and slipped the ruby and diamond engagement ring onto my finger. it stood so proudly against my skin, and it was just as striking as him. i hugged him again and smiled.

i couldnt keep my eyes off of the ring for the next few weeks as the wedding was prepared. it was his ships colors, but nobody had to know that. it was beautiful.

i stood at the door as they draped the long, thick, crimson parliament robe over my shoulders and clipped it around my neck. i had on a long, flowing white dress along with a bouquet of crimson hydrangeas in my hands. they placed a diamond tiara on my head and made final touches to my dress.

"alright sweets, youre ready." my aunt said as she smoothed over my shoulders and moved to her place beside me. the guards opened the door, revealing the alter and everyone in the grand church.

there he stood, proud. he had a wide-brimmed crimson hat on, along with a black suit and a black cloak that had crimson embroidered details on it. his hair cascaded around his shoulders, framing him perfectly. his smile stood out against the darkness of his outfit, and it made him shine like no other in the room.

joshua and samuel stood next to him on the steps, watching the room. their outfits matched jakes, but didnt stand out from his. i carefully made my way down the aisle as jake watched closely. the crew from the ship sat in the pews on jakes side as my family and friends sat on the other.

when i reached the altar, jake took both of my hands in his, both of us unable to contain our smiles. the priest made his long speech, before he finally paused for a second.

"i do." jake said softly.

"do you, her majesty, take jacob thomas kiszka, as your lawfully wedded husband?" the priest asked me.

"i do." i smiled.

"you may now kiss the bride." he said. before i could even comprehend it, jake had grabbed me by my waist and kissed me. i wrapped my arms around his neck and we both smiled before he let me go. the room was filled with shouts and clapping as we turned to the crowd.

jake took my hand as he led me down the aisle. his eyes never once daring to leave me.

that night, we feasted like royalty, because we officially were. jakes coronation as king was to happen first thing in the morning.

years passed, and the heir to the crown had finally come. she was the most charming little girl ever. she had her fathers eyes and features, along with his long, soft, brown curls.

jake had become fleet admiral along with his title of king. he was so proud to have an entire fleet of navy soldiers under him. he was also proud to have become a king, a father, and a husband. he took the best care of everyone.

the kingdom had finally started to glow like never before. the people were happier than ever, wealthy, and healthy. the kingdom was cleaner, and more taken care of than it had ever been.

i walked in the garden, looking at the tall trees that lined the outside of it.

"mama, when can i get a kitty?" ailea, my daughter, asked. she was named after the sun, she glowed like no other.

"thats up to your father, honey." i smiled. she immediately looked up at jake and asked the same question.

"ill think about it honey. maybe for your birthday." he replied.

"im about to turn 6, daddy." she announced.

"i know honey! youre getting so big." he smiled as he scooped her up and kissed her cheek. i was never more happy than i am now.

the sun felt warm against his skin as he held her in his arms. the moon had never glowed brighter than without his sun and star.

MASTERPOST

PLAYLIST

My knuckles are white as I grip the steering wheel of my car. My breathing is erratic and heavy as I stare at the front door of the house. There’s a thing about the unknown that I don’t like. Not knowing who is in the house. Not knowing if I will be liked. Even not knowing what the inside of the house looks like makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. This invitation felt so good in the moment, but now that it’s all happening, I feel like I should turn around and go home. It was so different in the solitude of my bedroom. I felt like I could be fully open with him in the comfort of my bedroom, but now the possibility of everything going wrong makes it all feel like a mistake.

 The door swings open just as I am about to put my car in reverse and all I can see is a mess of hair and two boys running full speed to the side of my car. I remember seeing them both at the clothesline the day Jake came up to get my number for Josh. I recognize Sam instantly, his smile as blinding as Josh’s only slightly smugger, if that could even be possible. The other boy, I assume to be Danny, towering over Sam but still struggling to keep up, tripping over Sam’s legs as they both sprint.

 Sam’s hand grabs the handle of my car door, yanking it open so that he’s practically in the car seat with me, “HEY THERE SAGE. WE’VE BEEN WAITING, BUT YOU WE’RE TAKING TOO LONG.” I feel my entire body freeze in shock at Sam. I could have stayed in the car frozen for hours, but Sam’s hand quickly reached out and grabbed my wrist, pulling me from the car. Danny gently shuts my car door as Sam pulls me inside towards a shocked Josh standing right by the entry way.

 I can tell by the look on his face that he was annoyed by Sam, Josh shoves him off me. With a laugh and a wink Sam and Danny both retreat from the room, “Fine we’ll leave the love birds alone. For now.” I stand for a second, looking from my car back to Josh. His face softening, trying to comfort me from the shock that Sam threw me into. After a minute I can feel my body relax, finally being able to look Josh in the eyes so that I can give him a reassuring smile. Josh leans down to give me a kiss on the cheek and as soon as his lips pull away, I laugh. Uncontrollably. I replay all of the things that happened in the last few minutes and I can’t to anything but laugh. At myself, at Sam, and at Josh. For the first time in a long time the heat in my cheeks is flushed by laughter and not fear.

 “What’s so funny over there.” Josh is still stunned, by trying his very best to not laugh along with me.

 I take a deep breath, to muster down my laughter, “I like them.” Josh smiles, an obvious amount of relief coming over him.

 “I’m surprised they didn’t scare you off.” Josh intertwines his finger into mine, pulling me closer to him.

 I smile and lean into him, “If you haven’t scared me off, I doubt your baby brother would be able to.” Josh laughs and starts pulling me towards the family room, where his brother and friend had disappeared off to. When we make it into the room, I see Sammy and Danny deep in conversation, sitting across from one another in the floor. Jake is sitting in a chair in the corner, playing with the different parts of his guitar, not noticing anything but the strings as he tunes them.

 “Hey Sage, I need you to settle an argument for us.” Sam yells across the room, tapping the floor next to him, gesturing for me to sit next to him. Looking back at Josh I pull my hand out of his tight grip and walk over to Sammy. Plopping myself down next to him.

 “So, what’s the problem.” I lean into their conversation, taking is just as seriously as they were.

 “Daniel here thinks we should cover, ‘Since I’ve Been Loving You’, but I think we should cover Going to California’.”

 “Both classic Zeppelin songs, so I can see why there’s such a debate.” A laugh coming out with the last few of my words. “But...”

 “But what?” Sammy interjects loudly, before I can finish talking.

 “But I think maybe you should do something a little more unique. More out of the box.”

 A soft laugh comes from Jake in the corner, “That’s exactly what I’ve been saying.” I turn around to look at Jake, a soft smile creeping on his lips when we make eye contact, “Now don’t get me wrong I love rock and roll, and Zeppelin is amazing, but I think it’s time we reach out and try something new.”

 “How often do you guys play originals?” My eyes pass over the boys, all of them shifting uncomfortably where they are sitting. “Do you have originals at all?”

Jake stands from his seat, all the boys following suit. “Let’s show her.”

 Jake heads towards the kitchen, Sam and Danny jumping up from their places on the floor to follow him. Josh waits from me as I clumsily get up from my spot on the floor, his hand reaching out to take mine so he could guide me to the same door as the others.

 When we make it into the tiny garage, I take in everything that fills the room. Every inch of space in the small room was filled with different instruments, speakers, and cables. Each of the boys having a designated spot in the room for themselves. I take a seat on the couch, that’s been pushed into a small corner of the room, watching as Danny fiddles around with one of his drumheads, and Sammy starts to tune his bass. My eyes move over to Josh, who is whispering something into Jake’s ear before he takes him place in the middle of the group. Josh looks over at Jake and gives him a small nod, sending Jake right into the opening chords of a song I’ve never heard before, Danny and Sam quickly falling into the groove like they’ve done this for their entire lives.

 Josh speaks, front man in him jumping out as the music plays behind him, “We call this one, ‘Black Smoke Rising.’”

 He starts to sing along with the boys, the sound filling up more of the room than the rest of the instruments combined. His voice sounds nothing like I expected. His thick midwestern accent leaving his body as the music consumes him. The sounds remind me of the classic rock I grew up listening to with my mom, but there’s more to it. Like they’ve taken their love of the genre and morphed it to something of their own. I don’t think I have heard anything this beautiful and exciting in a very long time.

 By the time the song comes to an end, I feel my body slow down. I had been dancing along to the music and not even knowing it. The room fills with silence quickly and I notice that all of them are staring at me. All with eyes searching for something, approval maybe? I don’t know how they could even question what they just showed me, it’s more amazing than anything they could have been covering at the small-town bar gigs they had been doing for years.

 “What the hell was that?” I jump up from my seat, all of them looking stressed as I make my way closer to the group. “That was amazing!” Relief and smiles all take over the boys as I make my way over to them. “You’re telling me you don’t play that live?”

 “We didn’t think I was ready yet.” Danny says to me, his smile widening as I laugh at his remark.

 “Are you kidding? I loved it! And I know that everyone else out there will too!” I feel Josh’s arms wrap around me from behind, pulling me into a hug. “Now, what’s the name?”

 “Greta Van Fleet.” Jake states, setting his guitar on the stand next to him.

 “Well Greta Van Fleet, I’m going to need to hear quite a bit more. Just so I’m certain you guys are just as great as I think you are.” Giving a wink at Jake, I pull myself away from Josh and make my way back to the couch, gesturing them to keep going. Within seconds Jake has slung his guitar back over his shoulder and they begin another song of theirs.

 I watched and listened for two hours as the boys played through all their songs, some great, some needing some work, and some causing Jake and Josh to start screaming at one another until Danny or Sam needed to come in and break up the two before they killed each other.

 All the boys were picking up their equipment when Josh made his way over to me, sitting close to me on the couch and putting his arm around my shoulders. “So Sage, what does our resident music expert think?” I blush at his compliment, but keep my eyes away from his, as I watch each of the boys pick up and talk about different things they would like to work on in the next rehearsal.

 “I think that you guys are gonna go somewhere someday.”

 Josh chuckles. “Well, we do play in Detroit sometimes, those are always pretty cool.

“More than that.” I turn my body to look into his eyes, “You guys are going to be big. I know it.” He smiles, leaving his forehead against mine, shutting his eyes. I relax into him and whisper, “Just don’t forget about me when you’re a famous rockstar.” He sighs and pulls me into his lap to that my head his rested into the crook of his neck.

 “You’re absolutely unforgettable Sage Walsh. And don’t you forget that.”

⛤ . ⛤ . ⛤ . ⛤

jake and i's argument with eachother had been fueled for the past few days as we set sail to go back to where the brothers had been raised in search of their parents and sister.

i sat, watching the crew do their work as jake yelled at me.

"dont even act like i havent saved your life, multiple times! i have taken a bullet for you, and i have been held with guns to my neck. just for you." he argued.

"you kidnapped me!" i argued back.

"maybe, youre both in the wrong." joshua intervened. the captain just scoffed and rolled his eyes.

i continued to leave him alone, giving us both time to think. i watched over the side of the ship as we approached land. samuel sat in the crows nest, hollering directions at jake as he steered, it had begun to get dark so it was helpful.

we docked after a bit, and jake made sure to keep my hat low, to cover my face. we walked through the small, humble town before they found the house they grew up in. i crossed my arms over my chest as i watched the twins silently discuss who would knock. jake eventually knocked and after a moment, a short woman answered. she inspected the 4 of us, before realizing that 3 of them were her kids.

she took them into hugs before she interrogated the boys about who i was.

"its best we go inside before we explain." jake said as he led me inside. i stayed silent as he held my hand in his.

"mother, this is the queen of Eldoria." he said as he sat down, taking a swig from his flask.

"you kidnapped the queen?" she said as she looked between us. jake took my hat off, revealing my face.

"it was more of borrowing, we may give her back. so she can be thrown in jail for treason." he mumbled in response.

"jacob, you know, thats quite a horrendous thing to do." she replied as she gave him a look of disappointment.

"she doesnt know how to be grateful." he countered.

"you kidnapped me, and took me from the only place i have ever known." i said as venom dripped off of my words.

"i have nearly had my life taken because of you, and for you." he replied, pouring himself another drink.

"not this again." joshua mumbled.

"jacob, you did kidnap her, its been talk of the town for quite some time. it was quite cruel." his dad interjected. he came down the stairs and looked at everyone in the room.

"kelly." he introduced himself to me. i nodded and shook his hand.

"father, this is the queen of Eldoria, as you know she has no name that has been publicized. we call her north star. north, and or star for short." jake said before taking a swig off of the rum.

"we hope to make our home, yours. i apologize for the unfortunate way we met, but i hope to give you some sort of comfort." he said softly. their home smelled like warm cinnamon and pine, and the warm lighting from the candles enchanted it that much more. it really did feel like a home.

"thank you, sir." i responded with a small smile.

we ended up talking for hours. i told them stories about my life before being kidnapped and after. after awhile, i was getting drowsy and i laid my head on jakes shoulder. he was drunk and far more forgiving than he usually was.

i started to doze off on his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around me, holding me close to himself as we listened to stories from kelly, talking about his life as a deckhand on a ship himself.

when i woke up, i was in jakes arms as he carried me back to the dock.

"go back to sleep, my star." he whispered before he kissed my head.

"i can walk." i mumbled.

"its okay lass, go back to sleep." he said as he lifted me closer to his chest. i nodded and watched as he took me back into the ship and into the captains quarters. he laid me in bed and just as he was about to pull away from me, i pulled him closer.

"stay?" i asked as i looked up at him through my squinted eyes.

"of course." he replied as he stood up to take his coat and his hat off. he took my corset off and threw it on the floor before pressing a soft kiss to my lips.

"i missed this jake." i mumbled. he held my face softly in his hands as he pulled away. he sat next to me, as if he had just been hit with the strongest wave. he sat in thought and guilt as he stared at the ground.

"im sorry for everything, my star. i feel so full of regret and shame." he said as he broke his staring contest with the floor to look up at me.

"i know i shouldnt be grateful for it, but im glad you did it. i wasnt ready to be the queen, i couldnt have done it. if you hadnt taken me, i wouldnt have met you or your brothers, and started a new life." i replied as i took his hand in mine.

"i love you, my star." he slurred. thats when i really realized that he was drunk and he probably didnt mean it, he likely didnt mean anything he had just told me.

"i love yo-" i was cut off by yelling coming from the room next to us.

"traitor!" joshua yelled. jake immediately stood up and grabbed his flintlock and cutlass from off of the table. i followed closely behind, grabbing my weapons as well.

jake burst into the room, seeing the horrific sight before us. joshua was on top of daniel with a dagger held to his jugular.

"fucking sick bastard." he said, pressing the metal deeper into his skin.

"what happened." jake growled as he pulled joshua off of daniel and pulled the taller man to his feet. daniel quickly pulled his flintlock off of his hip and pressed it to jakes head.

"any quick movements from any of you, and hes dead." daniel warned as he held the captain against his chest, making it so he couldnt escape.

"shut the door, lass. quietly." he ordered. i quietly shut the door, as to not draw any more attention.

jakes eyes were desperate and scared, unlike how they usually were. fear diminished the fire in his eyes as they started to get glossier.

"give me the ship and the men or else." he commanded. the twins looked at eachother, silently debating. daniel pressed the gun closer, causing jake to flinch.

"you can have them daniel. you can have the ship, the men, and the shares. anything you want, its yours." joshua tried to deescalate the situation. he pushed jake into his brothers arms before pointing the gun at me.

"youre coming with me." he said as he quickly scooped me up and held the gun to my head. he left the room, holding me to his body. the twins watched as he took me off the ship and into the city. he holstered his flintlock as i cried, pulling me along.

"please daniel. i didnt do anything." i bawled.

"quiet." he growled. he led me to the other side of the island, and onto another ship.

"welcome to your new home, the archer." he said as he nearly threw me aboard. i fell to my knees as he tied my wrists and gagged me. he dragged me to what seemed to be the captains quarters, tying me up.

the thoughts of the first time i met jake flooded my memory as i watched people come into the room.

"what did danny bring us this time?" the captain said as he took a good look at me. he held his cutlass to my chin, causing me to raise my head up.

"youre disgusting daniel." i hissed as i spit at his feet.

"thats not very lady like, is it poppet?" he said as he pressed the cutlass closer to my throat.

"when jake finds you, hell is coming with him." i growled.

"im glad you think jake will find you." daniel sneered into my face. he took my jaw into his hand, making me look directly at him before smiling.

"you look so pretty like this, lass." he snickered before he pressed a kiss to my lips and he let my face go.

"youre fucking disgusting." i mumbled.

i slept on the floor that night, in that same place, tied to the wall. they fed me from there, made me sleep there, and only let me out occasionally. when i was out, i was always keeping a watch out for the crimson serpent and its crew.

i watched as the sea passed beneath the ship, its dark green sails contrasting against the pale grey sky. it had been raining a bit recently, and that was the only thing soothing me. daniel held my wrists in his hand, bringing me back to the captains quarters and tying me back up. there was no use in fighting, so i just tried my best to relax.

"pretty poppet. you messed up, didnt you? letting me take you like that, so i wouldnt kill your beloved jacob." he sneered as he traced his fingers against my jawline.

"you belong at the bottom of the ocean, rotting." i replied.

"you have quite the mouth, dont you lassie?" he laughed in response.

"let me tell you something, pirates are monsters. your jake doesnt really love you. he uses you like no other. he only wants you for something to fuck. that poor man cant get any women, so he has to take them." he snickered to himself.

"hell! even i used you! why do you think i cleaned you so much?" he said as he took a rag and wiped it along the blade of his cutlass.

"youre revolting." i replied as i closed my eyes, trying to mentally escape the hellhole i was in. he only laughed in response. i rested my head against the wall behind me, listening to the patter of footsteps around the ship.

suddenly, there was a loud crash that happened and daniel raced out to where the sound came from.

"cannon fire!" someone shouted. cannonballs ripped through the ship for minutes on end before the door was thrown open and a familiar face appeared.

"come on." he said as he untied me and helped me stand up.

"daniel, no." i replied as he tried to drag me with him.

"fine, you can stay here and drown along with the ship." he said as he sat me back down and tied me extra tight to the wall. he locked the door before leaving.

i watched as items around the room swayed and shook as the cannonballs ripped through the thick walls of the ship. a lit lantern fell over, quickly lighting the room ablaze. i watched as the fire hissed and crackled as it spread. i stayed tucked as far away from the fire as possible, huddling into the corner.

i watched as it trailed closer to me, as someone pounded on the door. it was eventually broken down before jake burst into the room.

he quickly cut the rope that left me bound to the wall before scooping me into his arms and bringing me to the deck. he quickly crossed ships and put me in the captains quarters. he placed a quick kiss to my lips before leaving the room and charging out, cutlass in hand.

i tried my best to process everything that was happening as jake yelled commands to the others around him. i listened closely as he commanded for the ship to leave.

eventually, everything died down and jake came back into the room as the crew made repairs to the ship.

he carefully wiped my tears away and hugged me close.

"what did he do to you, my star? ill kill him right now." he said as he held my face in his hands. it was the only touch i had ever craved while i was away. he planted kisses on my forehead.

"he kissed me- i thought he was gonna kill me. i really did. he wanted me dead." i bawled as i held onto him.

"shhh, honey, its okay. youre safe now. ill kill that fucker." he comforted me as he held me to his chest. he let me cry into his shoulder for what seemed like hours, he sat there, patiently listening and comforting me.

"youre safe now, my love." he whispered, pressing a kiss to the top of my head. my eyes were growing heavy with exhaustion as i started to drift to sleep, occasional sniffles shocking me awake. my face was red and irritated from crying so hard, but he didnt mind.

he blew the candles out that were in the room and held me in his lap. he gently swayed with the boat as he hummed songs that he had learned over the many years. his hand ran through my hair as he watched me drift off to sleep.

"can i ask you something, my north star?" he asked as he traced shapes against my hot cheeks. i nodded in reply and rested my hand on his chest.

"will you be mine? i will take you around the world with me, and protect you with every molecule of my very being." he swore. i immediently perked up and looked at him, searching his eyes for any hint of lies.

"really?" i asked, just to confirm.

"really." he replied as he held my body closer to his.

"of course i will." i smiled before he pressed a soft kiss against my lips. it was more passionate than i had ever felt, or could have imagined. they were soft and plush against my skin as he locked them to his own. my hands threaded into his hair as he wrapped his arms around me.

"you shine brighter than any star i have ever seen." he whispered against my skin.

later that day, jake was up and about on the ship, doing his duties. i was surprised at his abilities to withstand the pain, but as i talked to daniel, he made me realize he wasnt going to quit and rest.

"hes been like this ever since you left." he said as we watched him run around, somewhat yelling duties out.

"he felt like since you left, he needed to get everything in order before we rescued you." he added. i nodded as my eyes followed him as he walked around. a small black cat darted across the deck, chasing a mouse that was on board. i had seen a few cats on board, and they were helpful for keeping the mice off, but because they were all feral, we could never really get close to them.

the sky got darker as we passed into a different part of the sea.

"were off the map!" sam yelled as both the sky and the water grew into a dark, muddy green. he watched as we passed by an island, the tall, dark trees that guarded the island itself were strong and bold against the sky.

"siren territory, lass." jake said as he stood next to me, making me jump.

"whats a siren?" i asked innocently. the word had been thrown around a few times, but i had never known what it meant.

"theyre beautiful women, some of the most youll ever lay eyes on. they have beautiful, alluring voices that could tempt even the strongest of men. theyll persuade you to go with them, and just as you arent expecting it, theyll take you underwater and to davy jones locker." he said as he rested his hand on my back. i nodded and watched off the side of the ship as faint glimmers of scales caught the ever so faint light from the moon.

"there lass, see?" he said as he pointed to one. she had long hair that went past her back and onto the beginning of her tail. it trailed along behind her as she swam along the side of the ship. there were soft voices coming from the other side of the ship, singing a soft, yet beautiful melody. her long, white tail under the water made it look green. we had anchored down on a small cove, deciding that was the safest out of all the places near us.

because we were off the map, we couldnt really tell what was around us, besides what we could see. as i got ready for bed, i heard jake approaching the door.

"dont let the sirens bite!" he shouted, making everyone laugh. he came into the room, shutting the door behind himself.

"hello, lovely." he smiled as he took my hat off of the desk.

"hello, captain." i replied as i watched him hang them up, in their now designated spots. the long nightgown and thin, silk robe that i had on, trailed behind me, just like the sirens tail.

"my siren, how beautiful you are. the most beautiful of them all." he said as he bowed in front of me, making me smile. as he came back up, i gently grabbed his hands in mine and smiled.

"i have something for you. a trinket, of sorts." he said as he reached into his back pocket. he pulled out a small music box, it had the words 'STARDUST CHORDS' engraved in the top of the silver lid. i carefully took it from his hands, opening the top and spinning the handle.

the melody filled the air as he held my waist in his hands.

"i saw the name of it, and immediately thought of you, my star." he beamed. i looked up at him as the fire in his eyes captivated me. i had never seen them burn so bright. the dark umber eyes felt like they could finally give my soul a place to call home.

"my star, may i ask you something?" he said as he ran the tips of his fingers through the ends of my hair.

"of course, jake." i replied as he smiled.

"lets go look at the stars, shall we?" he asked as he trailed his hand down my shoulder, arm, and eventually to my hand, encapsulating it. i nodded and he led me out of the room, and up the steps. the deck was stained a deep red, but you couldnt tell because of the naturally dark wood itself.

"see how beautiful they are?" he asked as he looked up to the sky. i had never seen anything like it. they surrounded us, making it feel like you were swimming in them. they reflected off of the water, making them seem infinite.

"you look just like them, especially this one." he said as he pointed to the north star.

"i call you that because you give me a sense of direction, and youll always be my home. ive been to a million places, but youre my home." he muttered, trying to be smooth, but i could tell there was something on his mind.

"whats on your mind, captain?" i wondered as he wrapped me around him. a small gust of wind blew past us, making me shiver.

"let me grab my jacket, love. youre freezing." he said as he began to let go of me.

"i can get it captain." i replied. i was already a step ahead of him, so he stood behind me, allowing me to get it.

i went into the quarters, searching for where he put it. it wasnt on the rack, it wasnt in his closet, it wasnt in his trunk.

"where could it be?" i mumbled to myself. i searched around the room, looking for where it could be, yet to no avail. i looked on the bed, and there it sat as i cursed myself for not looking there first. i put it on, buttoning a few buttons with a small amount of struggle. when i got it buttoned, i smoothed it over before going back out.

"i looked everywhere for it, and it was on the b- jake?" i said as i stepped up the steps that led to the upper portion, just above the captains quarters. he wasnt where i had left him, making me panic.

"jake?" i asked into the air. no reply. i immediately rushed down the steps and across the ship, into the quartermasters quarters. joshua was fast asleep, light snores coming from him.

"joshua, hurry." i said as i shook him awake.

"whats wrong?" he said as he rolled over to look at me. his eyes adjusted to the faint light, seeing the panic on my face.

"i cant find j- the captain. i cant find the captain." i corrected myself as he sat up.

"we went outside to go look at the stars, and i went to go grab his jacket, and he wasnt there when i came back." i trembled. he stood up, getting his boots on and pulling a jacket on. i followed him outside, and he scanned the area.

"stay here lass, he got off the boat. dirty sirens." he said as he looked off the edge, seeing that the net was off the side of the ship. panic filled my veins more than i thought was possible.

i watched as he got off the side of the boat, landing in the mud as it covered his feet, flintlock in hand. i waited until he was a few paces ahead before getting off myself. i quietly followed joshua as he whistled for his brother. i watched as he slowly disappeared into the small opening of a cavern, before i followed along.

i watched as he stopped at an opening in the rocks, looking through it. i quietly came up next to him, also looking through.

"i thought i told you to stay on the ship, lass." he warned.

"i want to help find him, quartermaster, my apologies." i whispered. he nodded and looked through the opening again, finally spotting him. he sat on the edge of a cenote.

"youre back later than expected, captain." she purred as she held her chest in his face.

"my apologies, celio." he replied as he held her face in his hands.

"your twin, where is he? dont want to worry about him." she smirked as she looked up at him.

"hes back on the ship, dont worry." he replied as he pressed a kiss upon her lips, just as he did mine. my heart sank and my stomach dropped more than it ever had. i felt as if i was going to be sick.

"he told me he loved me." i mumbled to myself as i watched him.

"he does, its the siren, they take over his mind." joshua replied. i nodded and continued watching.

"come with me, ill show you more than youve ever seen." she beseeched as she grabbed onto his hands. he nodded, and just as joshua was lining up his shot, they sank into the water.

we ran after them and joshua shed his shoes and jacket along with all of his gear before jumping in after them. a minute later, he came back up, gasping for air as he rubbed the painful sting from the water out of his eyes.

"theyre too deep. im gonna try again." he said before taking a deep breath and diving back under. i watched as a small amount of red came up to the top, making me panic. i watched as clouds of red came out of a smaller cave under the water, praying that they were okay. he eventually reemerged with jakes body in his hands before gasping and setting him on the ground.

"i killed her." he said as he shook the water off of his face and out of his hair. just a second later, jake nearly sprung back to life, coughing and throwing up whatever water he inhaled.

"fuckin hell." he mumbled through the coughs as he held his chest. he rubbed the water off of his face as joshua came up and sat on the ground next to him.

"siren. dirty, dirty siren." he announced as he looked down at jake. tears filled my eyes as the scene replayed in my head.

the way he held onto her face, and the way he ever so slightly touched her. the hands that once held me, were on another woman, a monster.

"what happened?" he asked as he sat up.

"siren." joshua replied. i sat silent, trying to fight off the scene in my head. i knew it wasnt his fault, but part of me wanted nothing more than to scream at him for it.

"fuckin monsters." he mumbled as he looked up at me.

"anything she did to me, she did without me knowing. its like she took over my body, my mind even." he said as he held my face in the palm of his hand, just as he did her. the look on my face stayed blank, as if i was looking straight through him.

"my star, look at me." he pleaded. i ignored him and looked down at my now muddy feet. i quickly stood up, going back on the ship after washing my feet off. i quickly got re-dressed, as everything was covered in a thin coating of mud and sand. i went to joshuas room, deciding to spend the night there. i slept in a hammock that joshua had hung for me and covered me in a blanket.

i slept until about noon, and the ship had moved far away, jakes doing. i got dressed and folded the hammock and blankets up, laying them on his table.

i left his quarters and was met with samuel.

"samuel, wheres the captain?" i asked.

"hes on the upper deck." he replied. i nodded and went to find him. when i did, he looked at me without saying a word before continuing to steer the ship.

"jake, we need to talk." i said as i stood next to him.

"about what?" he said as he acted if nothing had ever happened. i gave him a small glare and sighed.

"you know exactly what we need to talk about." i replied, crossing my arms.

"what? because something happened that wasnt my fault and now youre in a pissy mood because of it." he yelled. i stood there, in shock and in fear, he had certainly never talked to me like that and it made me scared, rightfully so.

"if i do recall, i have every right to be 'in a pissy mood', i was kidnapped and taken from the only place i have ever called home, and now the only person i really trust and have grown to love, stabbed me in the back right before my eyes. think about that next time you want to say something to me." i said as i started to walk away.

"thats not the way you talk to your captain, is it?" he growled as he grabbed my arm.

"you are not my captain, im your captive." i said, venom dripping off of my words. he was taken aback as he dropped my arm to my waist, and i walked away, deciding to go busy myself.

i found myself on the upper part of the deck, on the opposite side, with a kitten in my arms. he was playful and looked just like one of the other cats aboard.

his thick, jet black coat glistened in the sun as i sat there and played with him. he chased after my hand, pouncing on it.

"youre a sweetheart, arent you?" i said as i picked him up and held him in my arms. he purred away as he chewed on my finger.

after a bit, i set him down and decided to go find someone to talk to so that i wasnt bored out of my mind. samuel sat in the crows nest, navigating as usual. i climbed up there, looking down on the ship as i sat next to him.

"what happened? i saw the entire thing." he said as he watched his compass.

"your brother got taken by a siren and joshua and i ended up finding him. he kissed her and it broke my heart and now hes claming that im in a 'pissy mood'. i have every right to be; i was taken from the only place i have ever called home, and now im starting to love him and that happened. ive just felt lost. last night, we were sitting on the upper deck, talking and he told me that i was his home. i felt like the only thing that could tie his heart down that wasnt the sea, and then it happened and i watched it all. i didnt want to, but i couldnt tear my eyes away." i explained.

"i agree with you. he shouldnt have yelled at you." he replied as he closed the lid to his compass. it read: TO A BRAVE NEW WORLD. it was a beautiful compass with lots of engraved roses and vines.

"after we hit this clearing, wanna do something fun?" he asked. i nodded before he shouted directions down to jake. we got to the clearing and he grabbed my hand, pulling me close to his body as he threaded a rope around his foot. he grabbed onto it and pulled me to his chest, letting me hold the rope as tight as i could.

"three.."

"two!" he jumped, causing me to shriek and eventually laugh as we caught sight of the ship and the water below. he slid down the rope and onto the deck, taking me down with him.

we laughed together as he set me down on the floor and jumped down, himself. i could feel jakes eyes boring into the back of my skull, and samuel could sense it as well. thanks to it being around lunch time, he ran down into the bilge to grab a bottle of rum before coming back up.

we all sat together at the table as conversation filled the air. jake sat to the left of me while samuel sat to the right. we talked over our food and rum before the tension between jake and i had gotten too strong, and he excused himself for 'captain duties'. i watched as he left the room, slamming the door behind him. i looked over to samuel and he rolled his eyes.

"itll blow over, give him time." he said before he took a bite of his apple. i nodded and took a sip of my rum.

"he gets dramatic sometimes." he added.

"i think he just gets overwhelmed and cranky." i partially joked, attempting to lighten the mood.
