Chapter Sixteen
Name:
Morgan started walking up the stairs to the top deck. Her hands shook slightly as she tried to control the beating of her heart, which was racing inside her chest. Reaching the top stair and looking towards the helm. Morgan realized that in the brief encounter she had with Chris, Gavin and Jason had switched out. She frowned, walking towards Jason with concern in her eyes.
"Where is he?" Morgan asked Jason.
"Something wrong?" Jason asked, searching her eyes.
Morgan looked around quickly seeing Chris off in the distance and she shook her head no.
"I just need to find the captain." She said her eyes begining to wander.
"Lass I think right now it would be best to just giv

Siren's Gulley: Morgan dropped Gavin's hand as they stepped out of the cabin. Gavin didn't notice his eyes fixated on the scene before him. Two big cliffs border a water passage. The sky was light and seemed to sparkle as if inviting them in. The setting sun gave the entrance a golden hue. Gavin frowned. He left Morgan side and headed as quickly as he could down the stairs and across the low deck. She hesitated, staring at the sky once more before following him. She reached the helm just in time to hear Jason and Gavin talking. "You said there was an emergency!" Gavin said, narrowing his eyes at Jason. "Captain, you don't think that the entrance being so happy looking is dangerous?" Jason whispered to him. "Seriously, when did you become superstitious on me." G

Betrayal: She was floating through the darkness. It wasn't darkness like when she was running through the woods trying to escape. No noise; no sense of overwhelming fear. Just nothing. She felt like a giant weight was taken off her and she could breathe. As she drifted it was peaceful. She closed her eyes enjoying the calming feeling of this place. "Morgan!!" She heard a distant echo. She opened her eyes staring into the darkness. Did she hear something? Did she forget something? "Morgan!!" She jolted. There it was again. Her name. It was distant and faded but she heard it. Who needs her? Who was she forgetting? "Damn it Morgan come on!"

Liar: Morgan stood outside the cabin on the upper deck. This can't be happening, she thought. How could he not believe her? What would she have to gain? She was hurt and angry and then angry because she was hurt. She glanced back at the cabin door wanting to go back in. Wanting to talk to him. Wanting to make him understand. She began to turn back to the door but felt Jason's hand on her arm stopping her. " I'm sorry lass. Orders are orders." Jason said with remorse in his voice. She exhaled the breath she was holding in and started to stairs. With Jason close behind her she started down them into the lower deck. She was lost in her own thoughts of what she could do or say to make him believe her. She mindlessly walked across the lower deck feeling like a pris

Illusions: Gavin had left Chris and made his way up to the helm. Jason was deep in thought concentrating on the ocean. Gavin approached him frustrated. Jason raised an eyebrow at him as if to ask what was wrong. Gavin took a deep breath in. "She was right." Gavin said to Jason in one exhale. Jason looked at him confused. Gavin took a step closer and lowered his voice. " Morgan. She's right about Chris. He tried to steal the map and somehow planted poison on Morgan. He's somehow aligned with Travis." Gavin explained, his stomach feeling like it was burning at the mention of Travis's name. He was doing everything possible to remain in control. Ignoring every impulse he had. All he wanted to do right now was to

Goodbye: Morgan made her way to the front of the helm. The men were still cheering and celebrating. She smiled seeing their reaction. She was very relieved to finally be out of the gulley. Jason saw her and smiled at her. She walked over and squeezed his shoulder "I don't know how you all came up or pulled that off but I'm thankful it worked." Jason chuckled. "Yes Thank god. I heard-" she started to say but then she found her answer. The crow nest was on the floor of the lower deck. Shattered pieces of wood scattered about. She moved away from Jason, her eyes studying the scene. The mass that held the crows nest was cracked at the top like something just snapped it. It was just the very top so the sails were not damaged. She didn't even realize it b

The Sunflower Inn: Morgan didn't look back; the pull to stay was too strong. Claire clung to her hand as she made it into the city. It was a small fishing community she noted as she walked by several stands set up by the dock. The men eyed them curiously. She ignored them as they ventured further. The town opened up into a small market. She thought it was a little strange how it went straight to selling things but if people were new you wanted them to start buying and trading right away; why not Morgan thought. "Fresh fruit!"a woman called out to them. Claire looked at her letting her know she was hungry. Morgan nodded and headed over to the fruit stand. "Go on, which ones do you want?" Morgan said to Claire scooting her up to the stand.

Taken: Robbie leads Claire and Morgan through the small kitchen. They weaved in out of random supplies. Sacks of rice, potatoes, and flour laid out on the floor as the girls followed Robbie. In the very back of the kitchen was a door that led to the outside. They walked through it. Outside the sun was setting and the sky had a warm glow. Even though they were in town you could still feel the sea in the air. Walking out the back door of the inn you faced an old red barn. Robbie led the girls to it. The barn you could tell had been there for a very long time. The red paint was starting to peel away. The barn was an open style barn. Robbie walked through the arch way of the barn. "I'll get him ready. You two wait here." He said to Morgan and Claire. Two stalls were set up on either side. An old white horse gra

Captive: Gavin turned on his heel and raced back to The Morning Star. Jacob, Jason, Thomas, and Alan were running towards him. "Get to the Star!" Gavin yelled at them as he ran towards them. The men stopped looking at him confused. They glanced at one another trying to understand what Gavin yelled. "The Star! Get to the ship!" He yelled again. Jason heard him this time. He nodded to him as he turned towards the ship. "To the Star lads!" Jason said to them. Jason didn't leave them time to understand. He grabbed a hold of Thomas' shoulder and spun him around. Jason then took off to the ship. Thomas and Alan fo
