Chapter 38

WARD CAMERON'S BOAT - IN THE AFTERNOON

"Get back, John B! Get back! Get away from the throttle!" Ward Cameron yells, chasing after him with a hook.

"Okay, okay." John B says, panicking.

"We're not going anywhere until you listen! You understand?! Listen! It wasn't my fault. It was your father that tried to change." Ward Cameron yells. John B saw an opportunity to fight back and get the hook away from Ward. But he ended up falling in the struggle.

He ran to where the radios were, punching the door until he could get the radio.

"Mayday, mayday, mayday." John B frantically calls, trying to get some help, but Ward had already turned off the power.

"If anyone can hear this, this is the My Druthers. Mayday, mayday, mayday. Oh my god." John B panics as Ward Cameron lunged at him with the hook. The two continued fighting before John B ran inside to find a weapon that he was able to use against Ward.

"Stay right there! Don't move!" John B says.

"I swear I'll kill you, Ward!" John B yells

"Do it. Do it John B. I know you want to." Ward says.

"Fuck, shut up!" John B yells.

"But then.. you'd have my body to deal with. Believe me, its more complicated than it seems." Ward says, like he was speaking from experience. The two continued struggling until John B managed to find the jet ski and get away.

AT THE CHATEAU - EVENING (BEFORE SUNSET)

"Your majesty! We have to go back home to your castle soon!" Violet says the evening was coming soon and her shift at work would start. 

"No! I don't want to go back!" Lily whines.

"Come on, we gotta go back before the Queen's mom and dad get's mad at Princess V." Violet says, she needed to drop Lily off before heading off to her shift at The Wreck.

"Noooooooooo!" Lily says, she was about to cry sooner or later. She let go of Violet's hand and ran over to JJ. She wrapped her small arms around JJ's legs.

"I wanna stay with Prince JJ." Lily says, crying. JJ and Violet looked at each other, not knowing what to do, they just stood there.

"What are you gonna do?" Pope whispers, Violet shrugs.

"Queen Lily!" JJ says, bending over and carrying the five year old in one of his arms.

"Prince JJ is not going anywhere anytime soon, okay?" JJ says, trying to reassure the little kid.

"I don't wanna go back to mommy and daddy and Tommy!" Lily whines, sniffing her nose. 

"You just gotta go back to mommy and daddy for a little while." JJ explains.

"But- but I don't wanna. I wanna stay here with prince and princess Pogies." She says. She rubbed her eyes with one of her tiny palms.

"Prince and Princess Pogies are always gonna be here." Violet says.

"What if you forget me?" Lily says, sad that she had to.

"We are never gonna forget our Queen Lily." Kiara says, pinching Lily's chubby cheeks.

"Can- can I see prince and princess Pogies tomorrow?" Lily asks Violet. She didn't actually know the answer to that, and couldn't promise it either.
