The good guys always win. The good guys always find love. But what about the bad guys?
Shipped away for bad behavior. Treated like a child. Juniper knows she isn't a good person, but isn't that the fun of it? So why must she endure ridiculous punishments?
Well, she may find a way out of it on the high seas. Best not to tell her parents.

"Large men surrounded her as she struggled to free herself from the net. No, no, no.
Juniper's back hit the side of the ship and she was ready to throw herself overboard when a large cutlass slammed into the wood in front of her, trapping the net in place. The men all around went quiet, and the Princess went still, eyes widening.
"Hm... I thought you were a mermaid," a smooth voice purred.
Juniper could only stare at the big sword inches from her bare feet.
"But mermaids don't have legs, and they don't carry daggers." The pirate crouched in front of her, and she immediately knew he was the Captain. But he was surprisingly young, with a shock of black hair that was wild from battle, and dark, intelligent eyes, which were scanning her rather closely.
"Congratulations, you identified the difference between a human and a mermaid." Juniper hated how rough her voice was as she spoke."

Forgotten
//He had my hands pinned tightly above my head as I squirmed beneath him. The blade twisting between his fingers. He held it up to my throat. I was afraid but refused to show it. "Hurt me." I said between gritted teeth. He just gave me a sorrowful glance before driving the dagger into my flesh.// This is no story of love and happiness. This is a story of death and destruction. One of a man and woman who met one night and not only changed the lives of themselves, but the lives of a whole world of people. One was fire and one was water. They were perfectly balanced. Until one night when the sun fell just below the tip of the tallest castle, the balance faltered, and all hell broke loose. Fire on fire. This is no memorable story that was told on for generations after. No. This is a story of the forgotten. ------------------------------------------- The prince and princess are forced to marry out of their fathers hatred for one another. Yet, there's a falter to the plan and murder gets involved. Will the two be able to put aside years of pent up hatred, or will love conquer all? #2 in tragiclovestory Socials: @0fficialcrystalwebb on tiktokConcluida

Juniper and Branch. Boyfriend and Girlfriend. They tell each other everything! Or so you would expect. Juniper is certain, there's no more secret hiding between their relationship. But Branch is keeping a large part of his past hidden deep inside himself, which will soon backfire. ~~~ 𝓡𝓮𝓼𝓾𝓶𝓮: "Stop the Wedding!" Someone's yell comes from the far back of the crowd. Gasps ripple through the guests like a shockwave. Bridget and Gristle freezing in front og the alter. Branch's head jerks left, then right, scanning the landscape, along with every head searching for the source of the voice. My attention is drawn upward. I spot a figure. Far up on the cliffs, small against the sky. Or maybe not small, just far away. The figure slides down the end of a rope, closest to him, connected to the cliff above. I nudge Branch with the back of my hand to get his attention, nodding toward the sky. Branch follows my nod, his gaze catching on to the approaching shadow. His landing is rough. Now that he is basically in the middle of the ceremony, his figure is clear. He's a Troll. His blue skin covered in dust, greenish hair sticking out from under a set of goggles. "Sorry. Is this bad timing?" The moment his face is revealed from behind the goggles, Branch gasps. "I'm just trying to find a Troll named-" The blue Troll locks eyes with Branch, and his face lights up. "Ooh! Baby Branch!" "Hey! Stop right there. I'm the Princess of this Village and I order you to tell us who you are and what you want!" The Troll stops his doings as everything goes still again. "Hey... What's up?" The Troll speaks with a sudden uncertainty, realising a little too late how incredibly bad his timing is. "You're right, Princess - totally rude of me - didn't even introduce myself." Then, he turns to me, straightening his posture and steps forward, attempting to make a formal approach. "I'm Branch's brother." His smile is wide. Completely unthreatening. And my breathing stops.Concluida
New Horizons (A Pirate Story)
"How dare you bring me aboard this ship without so much as telling me what you are?" She yelled. Kincade let out a smug grin, one that infuriated Astryd even more. She took a few more steps toward him so that they were mere feet apart. He looked down at a doubloon he was holding and slowly turned it over in his hands as he spoke. "I saw a troubled woman in a sailor's pub, obviously hiding from the royal guards. Surely you must have gotten yourself into a sticky situation. And you don't expect me to assume what you are?" Astryd fumbled for words. What was he getting at? He lifted his head to look her in the eyes. "You're a thief and now a sailor. You know what that makes you, sweetheart?" "I am not a..." she shouted, but she stumbled at the last word. She pointed her finger in Kincade's face and whispered, "pirate." -------------------------------------------- I would like to acknowledge Thompson Editing Services, who is responsible for being my editor and proofreader for this book as well as an amazing writing mentor.

Not All Treasure is Silver and Gold
I think I'm gonna revise this to mature a little more lol Story 1 of Pirates of the Caribbean Jessica Williams is a well profound pirate. her name is known to most places on land and sea. At least it used to be before she disappeared for a decade. Her mother being a fallen Pirate Lord, her father being a fallen Commodore left her an orphan at the age of 17. That didn't slow her down. She made a name for herself in her ruthlessness, saving no mercy for any gender or rank. Along her life she got herself into a spat with Davy Jones on the seas, interfering with souls he was trying to collect by force. She said it was an imbalance to the natural order but he in turn nearly killed her..Tia Dorma nursed her back to health when she found Jessica washed up on the shores of her island. Her entire crew had been killed and she was left barely alive. So Tia Dorma decided to held her in exchange for her beating heart. Jessica didn't understand at the time, and claimed she had no use for it so she could happily take it. Everyone she ever cared about was dead anyways so what did she need it for? However, Tia said there was much about a human heart that she had yet to lean and she would only give the heart back once it heals and Jessica could "properly utilize it" whatever the hell that meant.. Until then Tia would put a spell on Jessica. She couldn't die until something in Jessica stirred that cold heart of hers..read to see more! (Story was made in 2010 so I'll probably be editing as I post chapters!)Concluida
Lillian's Mercy: King slayer
I woke up in a daze, unsure of why my body felt so stiff, so sore. I winced as I threw my legs over the side of the bed, and again as I stood up, pain flaring from every muscle in my body as I made my way to the polished mirror beside my wardrobe. I gasped at the sight of the bruised and battered girl in front of me. The memories from last night flooded my mind. It was my birthday. Father had invited several high class guests to the event. He expected me to begin courting. The man he had introduced me to was a plump old man. I had refused adamantly, his years against my fourteen churned my stomach. Unfortunately, my father didn't take my refusal well. He grabbed me by the arm roughly and dragged me into the attic-my bedroom. His beatings were getting worse. At least the last time i t hadn't taken much effort to hide the pain. This time that wouldn't be possible. This time, there would be no hiding it. This time the pain was too much. I whimpered as I headed to the door, but it was locked. It seems my father had predicted my state. Rage and anger burned through my veins as I slammed my fist against the door. One day I would learn to defend myself. One day I would escape this wretched castle. One day I would no longer be bound by the Caspian people. One day I will no longer be their princess. "I will get away from here, and you will pay for what you've done old man." I vowed before slamming my fist against the door again. "I will be free." I huffed as I crawled back into the bed for some much needed rest.Concluida
The Sparrow Caught in a Storm |Descendants Fic|
❝I'll tell you whatever you want if you sin' me a sea shanty, lad.❞ ❝I've already told you, princess. I am not singin' you a sea shanty.❞ She was never supposed to set foot on the Isle. Her father made sure of that when he left her in the care of the Queen of DunBroch, far from the dangers of the villain-infested land. But when a rescue mission goes horribly wrong, Jade finds herself stranded on the very island her father feared-and, more dangerously, catching the eye of a deviously handsome pirate. Though she would rather die than admit it, the enemy's first mate of all people has her attention now. He was perfectly content with his life on the Isle. They had power, territory, and every person there trembled at the mention of his captain's name-and feared his own. But when he spots a spoiled princess wearing a gold sparrow necklace, something in him shifts. His greed, once content to simmer, now starts to consume him as he finds himself unable to get her out of his mind.
Secrets of the Sea
My heart, which had been fluttering nervously in my chest, dropped to the soles of my feet. Familiar blue eyes met mine. In my dreams they were steely and cold, haunting, different from the dark amusement that glinted in them now. He reminded me of a Shadow Cat; great lethal felines that prowled through the Lost Jungle, preparing to attack his prey.Me. *** A simple tavern maid gets shipped - literally - into a world full of piracy, lies, and battles. The longer she stays out in sea, the more she learns that the pirates her country is fighting are not regular pirates, and that the people she comes to care about the most are in the middle of all the fighting. Laria must get her act together after her hometown is massacred and help win this war, but can she, when a supposed noble comes into her life at the same time her ex-fiancee returns?Concluida
