Black Heart {OUAT fanfiction}

Part 19

Days follow again. And still we're just sailing on the seas. There's no land ahead of us, and Will promised me to see my father again. Before it all might go downhill. But I refuse to believe his promise. He let me down once, he will let me down twice, even a third time if he has to.

I need to go away but there's no way for me to leave. I can't escape. He's watching me all day long and I can't even move or he's calling out my name. I hate it. I hate him. Better said. I never said I hated Will, now I do. He's keeping an creepy eye on me which doesn't make me very comfortable..

Every minute of the day I had that particular song in my head. I could scream it off the rooftops. It meant so much to me, especially now. If my dad was here, and I would be a singer, I would dedicate that song to him. He might not always be there for me, but he certainly means a lot to me.. I might have said that I hated him, that I don't like the way he treats me. But suddenly it all makes sense, he was making me an independent woman. He learned me how to stand up for myself, by not doing a thing to stop it. Why haven't I realized any of that earlier?

This is why I have to leave. This is what he learned me. I have to stand strong, right now, right here.

With a fast pace I walk towards the Captain's Quarters, I don't even bother to knock. "I need to speak to my crew. And I do not accept a no." I say as I slam my hands on his desk. He looks at me quiet surprised. He gives me a small nod. I can't believe he just gave me permission.

I run over the deck, I push every men aside who's in my way. There isn't really any way to reach my ship, the only option is to jump.

I climb up the railing of Will's ship, and jump. The moment I thought I would fall, I can feel strong hands grab my arms. I open my eyes and look up. I look at Joe and some other guy, which I don't know the name of. He saved me, I'm already thankful for that.

They help me onto the ship and the second I'm standing, Joe wraps his arms around me tightly. I rest my head against his chest and just listen to his heartbeat. Slow and steady.

"I thought we would never see you again." A low, unfamiliar voice says. I turn around, it's definitely someone I've never seen before. "What's the plan, Captain." But he's part of the crew. I smile at the remaining men.

"I realized something when I was standing there, you might have noticed that I was thinking." I start, and look around at my men. I give a quick look at Will's ship. His entire crew is looking at me. "I realized I loved you guys. I can not go anywhere without you from now on. You're my crew. My men." One of the men hug me, another one joins, and another. And so does the entire crew. I smile as I try to hug them all back. I quickly look at Will's ship again, jealousy is on his face.

They let me go, and all smile like diamonds. "We have something to do." I tell them.

"We certainly have, we're tied to a ship. We can't go anywhere."

"True, also, my father learned me to stand strong. And right now, we're gonna do the impossible. Who's with me." A few looks go around, but they all let out a loud 'Yes!'. "There's this list, with people, people who're exactly like me, like us. The Black Bloods. We have to find them before Will does. I know that he wants to destroy them, and that's where I come in. We're going to find them, and save them."

"Are there more of us?"

"There are definitely more of us." I say lowly. "I always said I wanted them out of this world, but realizing how strong we would be together, makes me want to start an army."

The rest of the day I was able to stay on my own ship. We had so much fun. I haven't had so much fun in a long time, and now I realized how much you need fun in your life. And below all the fun, we were just giving each other hints of the plans we have. No one would understand what we were planning, 'cause it sounds like we were hella drunk.

Even the night I could spend on my ship. Everyone was already in bed, but I was still sitting on the deck. Staring at the skies. There was one big star up there, shining brightly. I took the necklace from under my shirt and held it in my hand. "Well mom. In the end we all get what we want, right?" I sigh. "If I could only talk to you in person right now, there are many stories to be told. Or many things I want to  ask you." I hold onto the necklace tightly. It is the only thing what's left of my mom. And I don't intend to lose this, not after I lost everything in my life already. "We're going to find them. And we're going to win. Wherever they are, we're going to win." I take one last look at the skies, as a tear slips down my face. "I'll win for you, mommy."

Believing in the possibility of a happy ending is one thing, getting one, is a totally different thing.
