Dustin had shown Willow to her room. It just had a bed and a dresser in it. That was all and that was perfectly fine Willow didn't want anything fancy, just someplace other than that cage she woke up in. She had slept fine, wasn't the best sleep she's had but with time Willow knew that she'd be so used to the movement of the boat and sound of the ocean that it would be near impossible to go back to her old life. The sun had barely risen when Violet came and woke her up.

"We wake up at six in the morning and start doing our assigned chores, " Violet had said. But because Willow wasn't assigned any chore she had to do a little of everything. From sweeping to mopping, dusting to polishing. She was even tied to a rope and had to get barnacles that were on the outside of the boat near the waters. That was by far the one thing she had so far hated the most.

She had also found out that Jane and Sawyer didn't have to do any chores and slept in. Sawyer was not to be disturbed in the mornings unless they reached land or there was something that needed his attention immediately. As for Jane, no one trusted her as far as they could throw her. They made sure that she just stayed out of their way while the cleaned or fixed something otherwise their jobs would be ten times harder than they needed to be.

Willow even learned that no one ate until all chores for the morning we're done. If someone was slacking then no one could eat until that person was done with whatever they were doing. Apparently, that was an effective way to run this boat for if that said slacker was the reason everyone couldn't eat then that person was everyone's target for their wrath.

Right now she and the others were laying on the deck sunbathing. They had finished their chores and had eaten. Now they were taking a break enjoying the peace. Looking over to the poop deck Willow saw a chair sitting there empty. We the chair didn't look much like a chair more like a throne. She instantly knew who it belonged to not just by the red and gold colors of it, but by where it was placed and for the fact that it was still unoccupied.

"So what time does the captain wake up?" Willow asked no one particular.

"Normally around eleven, " Violet answered.

"Okay mind if I ask a stupid question?" Willow asked sitting up from her spot on the floor.

"Can't be any worse than Doe and Joe's questions, " Dustin said.

"How can you people tell the time out here?" Willow asked, " there is literally no clocks anywhere on this boat."

"We've been out here long enough to know how to use a sundial, " Eleanor answered pointing over to the sundial.

Looking over to where the sundial sat Willow saw that it was handcrafted. Now that she thought of it a lot of the things on the boat looked to have been handcrafted or very expensive.

Footsteps could be heard walking up to the deck. Willow turned to see that the steps belonged to Jane. She walked right past everyone and went straight to the throne. Willow watched as Jane made herself comfortable in that chair and look very bored.

"Jane that's not your chair and the captain is going to be pissed when he sees you in it, " Chase said.

"Does it look like my beloved honey bear would dare harm me, " Jane let out.

"Jane you haven't seen the captain that pissed then, " Treasure informed.

"Oh, what is my honey bear going to do, kill me?" Jane asked.

"Well if you keep this up yes you'll be killed, " a voice announced.

Looking over to the owner of the voice Willow saw a shirtless Sawyer. He looked very pissed at Jane for sitting in his chair. Jane just quickly got up and ran over to him and place a kiss on his cheek. Sawyer pushed her off and walked over to his chair. Willow watched as Jane followed like a lost puppy. Watching Jane sit on Sawyer's lap rubbed Willow the wrong way and she didn't know why. All she knew was that she didn't like Jane.
