~Islas' POV(5 Days from Dubre)~

I woke up today still sitting on the cold wood floor below deck on my Mothers ship, it would be an understatement to say that at this point I've lost all hope. Although I will admit at least they're feeding me, and giving me fresh water once a day, I half expected my Mother to deny me all comforts. I guess she wants me to make it to Dubre, she wanted me to make it just so I can be hung, kind of sad if you think about it. Before all of this happened my Mother was like my best friend, my confidant, and now all she's become is this cruel shell of a woman. Maybe I drove her to it, and maybe it was years of sitting beside a man who had no heart and was more than willing to sell his own daughter. All I know is that the Mother I loved, and grew up with is long gone, and I know that in a way I did that to her when I killed my Father.

~Hellenas' POV~

We are now only fives days from Dubre, and to say that I'm second guessing my sentencing on my daughter would be an understatement. I don't want to see her hang, I always hated hangings, while others rejoiced, and my husband forced Isla to watch, I would close my eyes and pray for it to all end. I know that there's no going back, I know that this has to be done for my kingdom, they need this. They need to know that their Queen is willing to do whatever it takes to keep them safe, happy, and make sure that the kingdom is prosperous. However, my head tells me that this is right, while my husband's voice rings in my head telling me to do it. My heart is begging me to stop all of this and let my little girl and her child live, let them return to the sea. Sadly I know that that isn't an option, this has to be done even if it kills me to do it, I have to watch my daughter hang.

~Jacks' POV~

We've been sailing non stop towards Dubre since sunrise yesterday, luckily the wind has been on our side, and I couldn't be happier about it. However I know that now that we've started we can't stop, I need to save my family before it's too late. I just wish that there was another option other than killing the woman who brought her into this world. Isla may disagree with me, but if her Mother's dead than Dubre will fall and people will give up, they'll understand that you don't fuck with a Pirates family. Isla is my family, her and our child are my family, and without them I fear that I have nothing, without them all the fighting and running I've done to survive is for nothing. Without them by my side I might as well turn myself in to whatever lord, or king I've threatened and join them in death. I was pulled from my thoughts by Sweet coming up to the helm, he gave me a sad worried look and I shook my head knowing that's exactly how he got Isla to talk. All he needs to know is that I'm not her, and I won't be leaving the helm until she is safe, and in my arms again.

"What do you want Sweet?"

He sighed, shaking his head.

"I miss her to ya know? She saved my life countless times, she's my best friend, however we both know that running ourselves ragged isn't going to solve anything. Being tired makes us weak, and if we're weak we might as well kiss our asses goodbye, you should get some sleep Jack."

I shook my head.

"I can't, not without her, god why did she do it? Why did she choose to save a group of good for nothing pirates over herself and our unborn child?"

"She loved us Jack, me like a brother, and you..."

He sighed looking out at the sea ahead of us.

"You hold what's left of her heart, she would do anything to save her family, plus the way she sees it, is if she's dead then she can be with her lost child. She would give anything to go back to that day and save it, she knows that you love her, and if you save her she'll be happy. However she's not afraid of death, she knows that with death she'll gain a whole new form of happiness. So whether we're late or early, she'll be alright, I know she will be, she is the Queen of the Sea after all."
