Author's Note: Hey guys sorry it's been soooo long since I've updated, I had writer's block. So I apologize if this isn't as good as the rest and it's short, I felt like I needed to post at least something. Thanks for waiting :) . I promise the next chapter will be more interesting, it has to be.

Enjoy this chapter:

I don't know how long it's been since we've sneaked in here, but the main thing is that we haven't been found. Netherlands now have a nice scar on his side where he was stabbed. It really doesn't look nice on it's own, but somehow he manages to pull it off, maybe it's that cocky smile he has.

We take it in turns keeping an eye out from the deck, to see if anyone is around and how close we are to the shore or something. Today it's the Netherlands turn, he opens the trapdoor slightly and peers out of it to check if anyone is coming. He opens it fully and steps onto the deck, I'm guessing it's all clear for once. After a couple of minutes he jumps back down, winces slightly as he pulled his side, serves him right for jumping down. Even though he's wincing, he has a enormous grin on his face.

"What's that grin for, is there a funny shape cloud in the sky again?" I ask, what else could it be, it can't be nothing else surely.

"Nah even better than that." He sits next to me " I see land, a port, looks like we're gonna dock there as we are heading straight for it." I look at him intently, I forgot ships had to dock to get food from time to time.

"So we're gonna dock, we can't go anywhere, we are pirates if you're forgotten, they'll trial us and have us hanged if escape from this ship and hide on land." I shake my head and sigh, sometimes he can forget the most obvious of things

"Listen I know sometimes I miss out details, but this time we won't have to hide on land, I see that my ship heading towards it and it hasn't got it's fancy flags up so this ship hopefully won't attack it." He holds me close nuzzling his face in my neck, trying to cheer me up, why is he always the optimist.

"How do you know it's you're ship without all the fancy flags then?"

" I built that baby, I'm pretty sure on what it looks like without all the fancy flags" I smile, for once, maybe luck would be on our side and we can escape from here. It be nice to smell the fresh air, eat non stale food, say what I want to say and to walk around freely.

What are you doing, I told myself, don't get you're hopes up. I mental shake my head. Wait, wait until we dock then see what will happen, the last thing I want is to get my hopes up, get caught and loose the one I love permanently.
