I groaned and rubbed the tiredness from my eyes, I haven't had a wink of sleep since Elizabeth was left in London. I feel horrible about leaving her behind I knew I shouldn't have listened to her but I do trust her that she can take care of herself. as of right now we were just floating out at sea trying to think of a plan to find Elizabeth. I looked down at the map below me trying to figure something out the best bet would be to go back to Elizabeth's friend Hayleigh to see if she has heard of anything but if we are to go back to London we are going to need more manpower because as of right now we are 4 men short. I backed up from the side table and headed out onto the main deck I stood outside for a moment feeling the wind blow before heading up to the mainmast and start opening the sails. 

"captain" I looked down at the main deck it was Jackson. I grabbed a rope a swung down to the main deck.

"what do ya need Jackson?" I asked

"it's the middle of the night what are you doing?" he asked me with his arms crossed 

"I was lowering the sails, we are headed back to the island" 

"what" he looked at me confused and a little angry 

"look if we want to get Elizabeth back we are going to need more than just us" I yawned " now either you can help me or go back to bed," I said walking off to go steer the ship

"captain when was the last time you slept" I stopped walking I turned to him

"few hours ago, why?" 

"because I can tell by the way your eye is twitching that you haven't slept in two days" I covered my left eye to stop the twitching I didn't even realize I was doing

"the other eye" I switched my hand

"look don't worry about me I'm fine," I told him 

"captain go to bed, I'll steer for tonight" he ushered me into my office and closed the door I sighed, and headed into the back of my office where there was another door that led to my bedroom. I took off my pants and my shirt but I paused to look over one of the many scars that I had, particularly the stab wound on my side 

"I'm sure Elizabeth is fine, she can take care of herself" 

"I'm sure Elizabeth is fine, she can take care of herself"

I was woken up by water being thrown on me, I gasped and sat up off the floor I looked around I was in a brick room with one window that had bars on it and hay on the floor. I then looked for who threw the water on me, it wasn't until now I realized what I was wearing. the dress I had was long gone and I was in a white corset and pants.

"wakey wakey," they said the room wasn't bright to I couldn't see their face well they made their way to the door and opened it allowing two men to enter the room. when they did they both grabbed me by my arms

"what the hell are you doing let go of me," i said trying to pry my arms out of their hands. "I swear to god I wil-"

"you'll do what Elizabeth" I heard a familiar voice say just then my aunt the queen of England walked in 

"Auntie Mary, tell these men to let go of me," I asked her she chuckled aunt mary was wearing a floor-length light blue gown with a white coat and matching gloves

"I'm not doing shit for you Elizabeth, you and your little friends stole from me. you are lucky I don't behead you. your father has told the entire family of what you have done and may I say they are not pleased." 

"like I give a shit what they think anymore. that family has never done anything good for me it's always what I can do for them. Charles is an abusive insufferable ass and he deserves to be shot, my mother just sits there and takes his lying, cheating shit." I soon felt a hand slap across my face

"you will not speak of my brother that way. he as also told me that you are no longer a part of this family and that I should do whatever I please with you. as I said before I won't behead you, that's too good of punishment so ill have you shipped off." she waved her hand and a bag was put over my head I started to kick and thrash around hoping to get out of the hold of these men. but nothing worked

"you piece of shit, you're just like your brother aunt mary."

"oh yeah and how is that"

"you are both cheating, lying pigs who love to manipulate people, you have done nothing good for this country you are honestly the worst queen it has ever seen. your people starve while you sit on your high horse eating whatever it is you want. I wouldn't be surprised if they revolted against ya. and when are you going to tell your husband that my cousins aren't even his children." the bag was ripped off my head and I was greeted with an angry look on my aunt's face. all I could do is smirk in her face.  she backed up from me without a word

"get her out of my face" mary stepped to the side as the two men hauled me out of the room and out into the cold air. at quick glance I could see the people in the same rooms as I was in, off to god knows where. eventually, they put the bag back over my head and chained my hands and feet together. 

"you know if I ever find you two again I won't be afraid to gut you like a fish and leave you tied up for the rats in an alleyway," I told them as they continued to carry me off

"got room for one more" I heard one of the men say

" what the hell are you talking about" I butted in "where are you taking me"

"this one has a mouth on it so deal with it, "the other guy said I then felt myself being put over someone's shoulder not too long after I was sat down on a hard floor and the bag was taken off my head and the chains around my ankles were taken off but the ones on my hands remained. when I looked around I saw I was on the floor of a jail cell similar to the one on savage's ship, the smell of saltwater also filled my nose.

oh shit

I forgot about everyone, the look of worry spread across my face, I promised them I would make it back to the ship, fuck they have to be so worried by now god knows how many days it's been. fuck and now I have no idea where I'm being taken to. I stood up from the floor and walked up to the bars of the cell from what I could see the entire ship was made of cells. then someone walked below deck from upstairs.

"OYE, YOU" he turned around and looked at me "yeh you, where are you taking me" he did nothing but laugh I looked at him like he had lost his mind

"shut the hell up and don't worry about it," he said turning his back to me 

"don't turn away from me I REFUSE TO BE IGNORED"

"he's never gonna tell you" I heard someone say I looked across from me where the voice was coming from and a young man, couldn't be older than 17 walked up to the bars

"what are you talkin' about"

"We have been on this ship for weeks and they won't tell us nothin'" 

"we?" I asked just then more arms started to poke out of some of the bars and voices could be heard. the entire ship was made of cages and each cage had 1 to 5 people in them may I say these cells are not big at all. 

my heart sank as I got the striking feeling I may never see the crew again.
