Chapter Three

Your light flashed blinding the people of the town. Just for a moment before you dulled down and pulled back from the boy. He looked up at you and smiled. He rummaged in his pocket before handing you a button. It was blue with silver sparkles in it. You smiled softly before embracing him.

"Thank you." You said.

There was a loud clomping of horses having you perk up to the guards of the kingdom. Newgate turned to you before approaching. Standing before you and the boy. You turned to the boy and held his shoulders.

"I don't know what will happen. But I need you to hide. Until Newgate or I come for you." You said.

He nodded, the two of you embraced before he took off. You stood up standing behind Newgate and peeking over his arm. Three knights hopped off their horses and approached the two of you. Newgate glared to each of them.

"I-In order of the young prince. That woman is going to have to come with us. If she turns out not to be who we are looking for. Then. She will return to you." The guard said.

"What is it you are looking for?" You asked.

"There was a fallen star. Taken the form of a woman. Since her outline was in the crater."

You took Newgates arm and looked up to him, "You aren't going to let them take me are you?"

He chuckled softly, "Of course not."

You smiled as he clutched his fist. Then punched the air shattering it. Your eyes widened as everything broke and shifted. He turned to you before pulling you up over his shoulder. You watched as the kingdom was broken and was spilt in many which a ways. Then it stopped as the two of you ran into the forest. Where the two of you hid in a cave around the beach.

"Why are we here? Shouldn't we be on your ship getting off the island?" You asked.

He rummaged in his pocket pulling out a strange object. A glass orb with a small needle inside. It was pointing to this island. You looked up to him confused.

"This is a log pose. It's leads us to the next island. But. It's pointing here for another three days. Until then. We have to stay put."

You gave a soft, "Oh."

He nodded as you drew up your legs and looked out on the beach. The waves lapped up on the pale sand having you stand. Newgate watched as you stepped out of the cave. Were you hiked up your dress and stepped into the cool water. You smiled softly as you turned to Newgate.

"It's so nice." You said.

There was a soft rustling in the bushes. You snapped over to the bushes before bolting to the cave. Holding close to Newgate the two of you took shallow breaths. Sitting in the very corner you watched as a little head poked inside.

The two of you blinked as you let go of Newgate and noticed the boy from earlier. He grinned and waved to the both of you.  You were glad he was okay. He stepped inside as you pushed away from Newgate and knelt down before the boy.

"I'm glad you're safe." You said.

"I saw what he did! He shattered the air and then boosh!" He waved his hands in the air.

You giggled, "So what's your name?"

"My name is Marco." The boy said.

He seemed proud of his name. You smiled softly and held out your hand.

"I'm (Y/N) the fallen star." You said.

Newgate watched as you two shook hands. Before you embraced the small boy. He giggled embracing you back.

"I've always wanted a mom and a dad ." He muttered.

You pulled back with a soft frown, "You don't have a family?"

He shook his head, "No."

"Then you can stay with us son."

Marco perked up before turning to Newgate, "Really?!"

"Sure. We're all children of the sea. Why not?"

Marco approached him and embraced him.

Once the sun was setting you sat on the shoreline looking to the falling sun. A sweet song left your lips as Marco and Newgate sat on some rocks by the cave. Newgate was watching you while Marco sat on his knee. The boy was thirteen years old and was abandoned when his parents found out about his devil fruit abilities.

"You love her don'tcha pops?" Marco asked.

Newgate glanced to him before back to you, "You know Marco. When you meet someone for the first time. There is a reason why they are brought to you. I believe she was brought to me. And I will do everything I can to protect that."

Marco cocked his head, "What does that mean?"

"You'll know one day. When you're older."

"Blah! I'm an adult too!"

"What are you two fighting about now?"

They turned to you embracing your knees and sitting on the shoreline. The sun was still setting behind you as Newgate got up and sat beside you.

"Nothing. Just chatting."

Marco stepped up to you and played with your hair, "Um. You know that pops did save your life. I think he should get something in return."

"Oh?" You asked.

"Yeah, like a kiss."

You furrowed, "A kiss?"

"Marco." Newgate muttered.

"Yep. It's a way of saying thank you. Pressing your lips to his."

You pursed your lips and turned to Newgate with a hue of pink scattered across his face. Reaching over you pulled him down to your level and kissed him softly. Marco giggled softly as Newgate's eyes were shot open. You pulled away with a small hue of pink and a smile.

"I guess I do owe you a thank you for taking care of me." You said.

He swallowed thickly, "S-sure."

As it began to grow dark. Newgate and Marco went to get some firewood. Leaving you alone to stay in the cave. You drew up your knees hearing the strange noises of the forest and the cave.

Until there was a rustling in the bushes. You grinned getting up and poking your head out. But. Those men were not Newgate or Marco.

"N-Newgate!" You cried.

You stuck out your hand shooting a glittering light at them before bolting off. Hiking up your dress you followed the direction Newgate left to.

"Newgate!" You cried once more.

But you couldn't get over the sound of terror and fear beating in your heart then up to your ears. You glanced around before bolting in another direction. Where you tripped over an uproot in the ground and stumbled in the greenery. As you were getting up to dart off again. Your dress got caught and tore off before you darted off once more.

But a hand grabbed your hair having you scream and cry out. You snapped to a man dressed in darks and a small shimmer of gold light.

"Ah. There you are my queen."
