I woke up today staying in my clothes from yesterday knowing that we have a long ride ahead of us. I pulled on my dagger sheaths putting my daggers in place before grabbing my sword and sheath strapping it to my waist. I put my hair up in two messy buns at the base of my neck before placing my hat on my head and walking out onto the deck, I looked around not seeing Jack.

I went up to the helm.
"Sweet?"
"Yes Isla?"
"Where's Jack?"
He shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know, he wasn't below deck I checked."
"Well he's not in my cabin, so where is he?"
"I honestly don't know Isla."
I sighed, shaking my head walking away from him and going below deck, I could hear snoring, but he wasn't in any of the hanging cots. I followed the sound seeing a little room tucked away, I smirked, shaking my head and opening the door. I kicked Jack out of the hanging cot and he looked at me with anger in his eyes before letting out a sigh.
"What can I do for you Princess?"
"Get up, and get to work, I won't tolerate laziness on my ship, if you're not on deck in five minutes, I'm going to kill you."
He stood up with a smirk on his face.
"You won't kill me."
"Oh no? Try me."
"You won't kill me because you need me, if something goes wrong in this plan of yours you need me to help you escape. That plus the fact that you're slowly starting to come to the dark side, you're giving in and that kills you. You're falling for another pirate and all you want is for it to stop, welcome to the dark side love, just hope you can handle it."
I sighed, shaking my head in a way he's right, but I couldn't let him know that.
"Five minutes."
I walked out of the room, and up to the deck knowing he'll be out shortly, I can't believe it's only been two days. Two days and he's even more infuriating than I remember, I don't understand why he has to make everything so damn difficult. I can't understand why I can't follow through with my threats when it comes to him, he's no different than any member of my crew, yet he has my wrapped around his finger, somehow he's managed to get to me. He's right I am falling for another pirate, I just can't let anyone know it, it's a weakness that I can't afford right now. I just hope that in the end it doesn't affect my plan, because if it does I might have to kill the only other man I've let get close to me, and that will kill me if my father doesn't kill me first. It wasn't long before Jack came up on deck, he got to work and I watched the men closely, I looked up seeing Decka up on the mast, I saw her turn looking behind us. When I turned to see what she was looking at I saw another ship closing in on us, and as I looked at the colors it was sailing under fear struck my heart. It started pounding in my chest, I could hear it drum through my ears, and I knew exactly what this all meant. My father's back, he must've figured out that I'm still alive, I looked at the men before shaking my head.
