The Cove
By Emily Fredette
Prologue
They were so scared, they had no idea if their beautiful girlfriends would survive. All they could do is pace around on the boat and think of all the things they wanted to say to Gunner's and Cutthroat. How little time they really had had with each other. If something happened to them Kalib and Joseph would have no idea what to do.
"I wish I could see her right now and tell her what she means to me," Kalib said staring out at the other boat. "I hope she is alright. When she gets back I am going to do it. I will ask her to marry me, even if it's against piracy or whatever, I don't care. I love her to much to see her set sail on a new journey without me."
Joseph looked over at him with sympathy. He knew exactly what Kalib meant. He felt the exact same way about Constance as Kalib did for Maggie. All he had thought about ever since he first met her was how much he truly loved her. Even though he didn't act like it toward her at first.
"I want to grow old with her. I want to be with her forever. Oh god, what if something did happen to her?" tears started to fall from his eyes. "I need her. She is my everything now." You could just barely make out what he was saying through his sobs.
"Do you think they are in love with us like we are them?" Kalib asked totally trained in thought.
"I do. I really think they love us just as much as we love them. I mean we were their hostages, look where we are now though. They trust us, they wouldn't have let us take their boat if they didn't," Joseph said. He had a point too. "I think they truly want us here with them."
"You're right. They wouldn't trust us with all of this if they didn't love us," there was a moment of silence as Kalib stared out to sea, deep in thought. He had an idea. Hoping that Joseph would go with him he told him. "We should help."
"What?" Joseph questioned in complete confusion. "Are you okay? You might want to lie down."
"I'm fine, just listen. We want them to love us right? I mean we want them to be truly, madly in love with us right? So lets go show them how much we love them and help," Kalib explained as he paced along the bow. " I know where Maggie keeps her extra cutlasses. That way we'll be armed, and there is a small rowboat on the side here. Let's go. Let's help."
"I'm in. Just one question though. Since when were you the one to come up with these brilliant plans?" Joseph mocked him a little before heading for the rowboat.
"I learned from the best now didn't I?" He laughed and got in. They lowered the boat into the water and started over to Beckett's ship.
