Alice Hellstorm stalked across the deck furious, her husband quickly followed. Turning quickly on her heel she came face to face with and giving him a look that couldn't make even him more than fearless. Her eyes had fire in them, she felt betrayed, not only for herself but her sons.

"Five sons, five bloody sons, five honorable sons and you bestow an honor on a little whore, she's a bastard,"screamed Alice. Rob Hellstorm looked at his wife, she had gone into a fury when she found out he had a daughter with another woman, but now she was outraged at the fact he was giving his daughter the prize every man on the seas was after. There wasn't much Alice could do, the young girl and her mother were safely tucked on a ship headed towards India. It was a decision that came mutually from Rob and his daughter's mother's father who did not want his daughter to have to life with a disgraced name after the truth had come out that her child's father was not her late husband. Rob's daughter was going to grow up in noble blood and would never have to experience the hardships of his life.

"Alice,"hissed Rob,"There are six of em', Ruby is either gonna be the first to be caught or the last. Chances are she'll be the last. Many men want the jewel, damn Ali, yer own life is in danger cause they'd be thinkin' you have it. Ruby is goin' ta India so she won't be found, if anything my five bloody sons should be thankin' me for not puttin' a bounty on their heads."

"I cannot believe you,"whispered Alice before storming down the gangplank and away from the ship. Rob stood at the edge of the ship watching his wife walking away. He had been arguing with Alice for two days over the issue. Rob couldn't make her understand, the jewel was safer in India, it had been his plan all along. He prayed no one ever found Ruby Hellstorm.

Walking away from the edge of the ship he shook his head. In a month he planned to sail to India without his wife, he wanted to make sure Ruby and her mother were set up comfortably. Though little did he know that he'd never see his wife again, as he predicted, most men, mainly pirates truly believed she was the jewel and after they discovered she wasn't the jewel the killing continued.
