An Assassins Love

24. As Long as You Love Me

AN

I'm going to start off by saying that I'm sorry if grammar or spelling is off the wall in any part of the story. The grammar wedsite I use doesn't always work or get what I'm trying to say and it really hates all the pirate slang and that kind of junk. 

I also wanted to say that I have been put on some new meds to help with my anxiety and depression and I've actually felt like doing something other than lay in my bed. So, with that being said I'm hoping that more of this story will come sooner. I never know what I'm going to do until I wake up and before I didn't want to do anything. And even with a crowd of people I still felt alone but I'm getting better. 

So here is the next part of Edward and Aurora's mushy love story. Enjoy. :)

Ps: ZoeyWSchmidt this song is for you. lol 

----------------------------------------------

Edward and I finally made it back to the Great Inaguata find that Kidd and Ade had gotten the Jackdaw back from Rackham and had been searching for any trace of us. "Stealing a fishing schooner single handed? Damned carny, Captain." Ade said after Edward finished telling the story of how we got off the island. Oh, did I say that the fisherman were friendly people? I meant that we had to kill over half of them before the rest decided to join with us. Now, we're all at the pirate hideout getting drunk.

"As is taking my brig back from this pillock," Edward said gesturing to a tied up Rackham. "Once again, I thank you both." I wasn't really listening to the three of them. I was just enjoying having good food and rum.

"So, how did you take it back from him?" I asked and took a swig of rum. "I mean it couldn't have been that hard."

"This billy-Huff didn't last a month with the Jackdaw before he came limping back to Nassau. Took the pardon straight away." Kidd said back.

"I had to lads! That Rogers was on to me from the start." Rackham yelled out trying to defend himself.

"Pussy," I muttered then ade stood up and grabbed him. "Hold your tough Rackham."

Kidd then looked back over to Edward "So, what now? Still chasing your elusive fortune?" Oh, here we go again with this shit.

"Aye. And I'm close. I've heard the sage is sailing out of Kingston on a ship called the Princess."

"Put your ambition to better use, Kenway. Find the sage with us." Kidd was more than a little desperate to get Edward off the path he was on in finding the sage, and it was starting to show.

"I've no stomach for you and your mystics, Mary," he said standing up and leaning over to say Kidd's real name so no one but us would hear it. "I want a taste of the good life. An easy life."

"No one honest has an easy life, Edward. And it's aching for the one that causes the most pain." Kidd said then walked over to where Ade was holding Rackham. "Alright, Rackham. Back to retirement."

"I take it we're going to Kingston now?" I asked softly.

"Aye. We're getting close to finding the Sage." I didn't respond back. I just set there thinking of my life before in Kingston. I know that some day the search for this sage guy would lead us back to Kingston but I was hoping it wouldn't be this soon. Edward set back down in front of me and forced me to look at him. "I know you don't want to go back there now. I know the pain that place holds for you. But I promise that no one there is going to lay a finger on you."
