S3e1|| Poguelandia

(Y/n) pov

Nobody ever said that life was going to be easy. Back home, it was always Kooks and Pogues. There were the people who had everything and then some of us with nothing, it's always been like that. Nothing could change that.

But I never saw it that way. I always thought we could live together and not butt heads every other day. Unfortunately, it wasn't like that and Kooks were always picking fights with Pogues.

Some people were able to make the best out of our circumstances and others, well, they just couldn't. They fought against it. The gold lost on the Merchant was John B's, my brother, and our father's way out of poverty. I was a Kook until a certain blond haired boy named JJ Maybank changed my life for the better.

I'm a Pogue and we're hard workers. But we always got our treasure stolen from us by Ward Cameron and his psychopathic son, Rafe Cameron. We almost died for the treasure but that didn't matter to them. We've been shot, drowned, stung, almost eaten by a gator and we have nothing to show for it.

Now we're on an island in the middle of nowhere. It's beautiful and it's our home in the meantime. I wouldn't want it any other way, honestly.

Enough about me, though. Poguelandia is more important.

"JJ, that looks fucking cool!", I cheered as he placed our flag on a coconut tree.

"Yeah, baby! You know it!", he shouted in return.

We've been building everything here from scratch. Honestly, I've lost track of how long we've been here for. I don't really care though, it's nice here. I love it here, I don't mind staying here for the rest of our lives.

"Rescue? Nah, that's bullshit. I mean...this place, it's gorgeous! It's paradise, (Y/n)! We're not going back ever. Think about it, our life without fighting and being nearly killed by Rafe Cameron? That's peaceful. We've got everything we need right here.", he rambled.

"Yeah, exactly like we've talked about.", I stated with a smile.

"Exactly. How's your spear looking? You ready to provide for the family?", he teased.

"Hell yeah, babe, I'm ready to stab something or someone!", I chuckled.

"You aren't stabbing anyone as long as they aren't a threat, miss Maybank.", he joked.

"Yeah? What would you do if I did stab someone?", I teased as I brought myself closer to him.

"Well, I guess I'd have to punish you then, wouldn't I?", he answered as he squeezed my butt.

I giggled as I kissed his lips, interlacing my fingers with his own.

"Now, let's get to spearfishing unless you wanna go back to eating coconuts forever.", he whispered.

"Nah, I'm good on coconuts, babe. I'm ready for some real food.", I taunted.

"Alright, now remember, you've gotta watch your shadow. The second they see even a glimpse of it, they're gone.", he stated sternly as we approached the shoreline.

"Yessir, Captain Maybank, I'm ready as I'll ever be.", I saluted as I crouched, ready with my spear in hand.

"You see that? That's a skate, he sees me and now he's headed to you. This is it, time it right, don't screw it up.", he finished.
