Warning: Do NOT read if you haven't read Blood Captain yet. It contains spoilers right from the start!

Disclaimer: Sadly I don't add Vampirates, Justin Somper does. The first paragraph is taken from the last chapter of Vampirates: Blood Captain.

Summery: Takes Place exactly where Blood Captain ended. Hope you enjoy! I've included different points of view but the story mainly focuses on Grace. There will be some GracexLorcan later on. And I will continue my other story too.

Chapter One

Grace felt a moment of perfect peace. She knew it couldn't last Why, it might even be some kind of dream. But however fleeting the moment might be, whether a dream or not, she didn't care. It was the moment she had waited for all her life and nothing, nothing, was going to spoil it for her.

Darcy

Darcy stood beside the captain's lifeless form. Watching the woman sit up and push her hair woman behind her ears. "Look over here!" She heard Grace cry. The woman turned her head slowly toward Grace and stood. Grace was in tears while Connor was frowning, Lorcan stood staring at the young woman. Then they started to fade into the mist. Darcy gasped as she watched Lorcan, Grace and Connor start to disappear along with woman; as the other souls had. She heard a faint cry it was Grace, "Mother!" her voice sounded distant like she was already faraway from here.

"Mother?" Darcy echoed softly, confused, "I thought the twin's mother was dead." She turned towards Mosh Zu. "I don't understand, what happened to them? Will they be ok?" Mosh Zu looked at her tiredly, "I'm not sure, Darcy. We'll just have to wait and see."

Grace

Grace, Connor, Sally and Lorcan hugged each other tightly. She was full of questions but held them back for the moment, she was just so happy. She had never had a mother like figure but now Sally was back and they had a chance to be a proper family again. They could all live happily ever after together and forget what had happened in the last few months. Forget about the pirates and vampires. Go on to live a normal life.

Deep down Grace knew it would never work. She didn't even know if her mother would be able to stay. And what about Lorcan? Or her life aboard the Nocturne? Or Connor's life as a pirate? No, it would never work; she knew that but still she couldn't help but hope.

Sally parted from the group's embrace first, putting a hand loosely on each of the twins arms. Her eyes were full of tears but she was smiling "I'm so proud of you, both of you." Grace and Connor just smiled, to overwhelmed to speak. "You've been so brave, copping with all of this. Your father would be so proud of the two of you as am I."

Connor was first to address their mother, "We missed you."

"I know sweetie, I missed you to."

"Can you stay with us?" Grace asked, realizing the answer as soon as she saw Sally's face fall. "I'm sorry, Gracie, it would be to dangerous."

"I don't understand."

"There are a lot of things you don't know about me and your father, dangerous things. I can't explain now, but one day you will understand, I promise.

"But why can't you tell us now." Grace pestered

"I don't have much time now, it would take to long to explain. there are things better off left alone, . All you need to know is how proud I am of you and how much I love you."

"Please stay, mother, we need you." Connor asked brushing the tears away from his face.

"I wish I could Connor, but I can't,; you haven't seen what I have, you don't know what I do."

"Don't leave Sally" Lorcan said.

"Sorry Lorcan, you know I can't."

"They need you."

"They've got each other and you'll look after them."

"I need you."

Grace watched surprised as Sally smiled through her tears at Lorcan. She couldn't help but feel slightly bitter at his words but she quickly brushed it aside.

"No you don't, Lorcan, not anymore."

Grace couldn't't help but wonder about her mother's answer. She needed to know more, but she couldn't ask the questions she wanted to know; their wasn't time. Sally's outline was already fainter then it had been and Grace could sense it was time to say goodbye.

"Don't go, mother." Grace said sobbing

"I have to. Goodbye Grace" She held Grace in a tight hug for a minuet before letting go

"Goodbye Connor" She said hugging Connor .

"Goodbye Lorcan." she said pulling him into another hug. "Look after them for me."

"I will Sally, don't worry. Look out for yourself."

Sally was once more surrounded in mist.

"Will we ever see you again?" Connor asked

"Your father had a saying; trust the tide. We'll be together one day. But until then travel safe."

Sally faded into the mist. Grace knew it wouldn't't have lasted but this was to soon.

She turned around, Connor had also disappeared. The only person who stood beside her in the thinning mist was Lorcan…

Ok, hoped you liked it. Let me know what you think or if you have any other ideas. I think this chapter went a bit fast so I'll try to space the chapters out a bit more if I can. I'm not sure if I should use more/less POV's or leave it as it is. I might change the title too. Anyway let me know what you think,

lol,
