Chloe walked over the deck. Aubrey on her heels. "So, what is the plan? We don't have the stuff for a long trip." Chloe looked at them. "We are going to treasure island. We will fight on ground we know. And with a little luck we can even have a little end party before they are there." She walks over to Stacie. "Let them go full sail. And go to treasure island. I want to be her when night falls." She looked at the sea behind them. They can see the other ship and the end of the horizon. They could try and run. But then they need to go for a harbor. And leaves the city. Leaving her ship. She couldn't do that. She rather dies. Then leaving her ship behind.
The night was falling when they saw the island. "we are going upwards the river. Set up camp there. And by dawn we go to the hide place on the island." She explained the crew. Who nodded. "Remember the pirate code. Who falls behind is left behind. I don't want anybody risk her or his life. If something happens with me. Aubrey or Stacie will become the new leader." The crew nodded. And they saw the opening of the river. It wasn't a long river. And easy to see from sea. But it was all they had.
A campfire. her favorite people of the world. And rum. That was how they spend their evening. Their last evening meal. Emily was singing with Amy. Stacie and Aubrey were cuddled together by the fire. The rest was dancing around. except from Beca. who was still on the ship. Chloe didn't know why. Or what she was doing. But she trusted her.
"Wake up! they are coming!" somebody shouted. And many people shot up. they saw it to. The ship was coming this way. Chloe runs on the ship to take her weapons. "Aubrey. take the crew. Lead them to safety!" She shouted. And Aubrey looks up. "What about you?" Chloe gave her sad eyes. "I give you guys time." Stacie who was standing next to her spoke up. "you can't do that." But Aubrey held up her hand. "Pirate code. Who stand behind is left behind. We can't stop her. Come on." Both girls gave Chloe a last hug. "I will see you later." She whispers. Before taking Stacie, her hand and left with the group. Except Beca. who just left the ship. "If you are fast you don't lose them." Chloe tells her. but then she noticed the gun in Beca her hand. "And leaving you? After that I just got you back? If we die. We die together." And they settled down together by the fire. Waiting for the other ship coming their way.
It didn't take long. And hour max. before the soldiers came out of the other ship. Guns ready. Walking over to the two girls. With king Mitchell in front. Both girls looked each other in the eyes. Stands up with gun ready. The king looked at them. "Where is your crew?" he asks. And Chloe shrugged. "I gave them the option. Fight or fly. Pretty clear what they choice." And the king nodded. "Arrest them." Four man walked up. but both girl fired the guns. And two man falls. "don't think we give up without a fight." Chloe tells the king. Before she fires another shot. But then she fells a gun on her back. And a voice behind him. "I will drop that gun captain." And Chloe recognized the voice. "Jesse?" She drops the gun. With Beca following it. both girls were standing there. In front of an army. With a gun on their back. The king looked at both girls. Two soldiers walk over to Chloe and arrest her. take her back to the others. Before turning her to face Beca. "Dear daughter, I gave you a choice. And you didn't choice smart. I can't hang you. What would my people be thinking? My own daughter turned a pirate. No. but you still get your what you deserve. Jesse, you can do it." And even before Chloe could do anything. There was a gun shot in the air. And Beca falls to the ground with a scream. Blood coming from her back. It was clear that he missed the heart. He wanted to shoot another time. But the king held up his hand. "It is better if she bleeds to death. More painfully." And Chloe gasps. Her eyes not leaving Beca her body. Tears rolling down her cheeks. She was dead. The love of her life. Was dead. The soldiers took her to the ship. And Chloe didn't fight. All she wanted was to die. Right there. To follow Beca. to be with her girl.
She was sitting in a cell. Her hanging will be tomorrow. But she wanted to die today. She lost everything she loved. Her crew. Her ship. But most of all. She lost Beca. her Beca. The girl she just got. The girl who was probably her soulmate. And now she was gone. And the worse. She can't come back. She had the guards heard talking. They had talked about Beca. the people thought here that she just died of a sickness. Both Beca and Emily. She also heard that the king got another woman pregnant again. for taking over the kingdom. She closed her eyes. And cries herself to sleep. That was all she could do now.
