Hey guys, what do you think so far? Fingers crossed you are reading this and the story is completed. I have been swinging between moods for proof reading and writing. Unfortunately I have had more drive to write than read. I know that I am keeping you guys waiting a while but at least you are getting some stories and chapters finished. Content warning for themes in this chapter. Much love RSD xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo.

"Come on Your Majesty" Brad mocked.

"You want Mal?" he teased.

"Then throw your sword down" he stated as he nodded down to the ground.

"Then we can talk" he suggested suggestively.

"Ben don't!" I warned.

"Shut it you!" Brad stated as he shoved me.

"Well?" he asked.

"It doesn't bother me how she dies; beheading or drowning-" he continued.

"Your choice!" he snapped.

"Neither!" Ben snapped back.

"Brad you really don't need to do this" Ben stressed.

"Yes I do!" Brad disagreed.

"Why?" Ben asked in a panic.

"Because she left me" Brad grimaced.

"So you think killing her is acceptable?" Ben wondered incredulously.

"If that is the case Uma you want to be ca-" I started.

"I SAID SHUT IT!" Brad roared cutting me off.

"Uma knows what we have is the real thing" he said as he looked over lovingly to Uma and they both winked at each other.

"Deluded" I muttered. Brad snarled and I felt a pain in the right hand side of my head as he quickly struck my head and I fell to the floor at his feet.

"Call me that again!" he growled before he kicked me in the stomach. I gasped as the air was knocked out of my lungs as my stomach started to contract. I groaned in pain and I brought my knees up to my stomach best way I could. I heard Ben shout out to me and Brad kicked me in the stomach again as Ben was pushed back by two pirates.

"STOP IT!" Ben shouted.

"Take me" he added.

"What?" Brad asked in shock.

"BEN NO!" I screamed and Brad quickly kicked me in the stomach again making me cry out in pain.

"URGH!" I shouted.

"STOP IT!" Evie, Jay and Carlos shouted.

"Take me" Ben repeated.

"Let Mal go free?" he pleaded

"Hmm" Brad grunted.

"Well that is a change in events" he said happily.

"Isn't it my sweet?" he asked smoothly as he looked at Uma.

"Yes" she confirmed.

"Hmm" Uma said as he looked Ben up and down slowly.

"We could use him to get off the Isle" she stated.

"Grab him" she instructed and two pirates grabbed Ben and knocked the sword out of his hand.

"NO!" I shouted.

"STOP!" I screamed.

"Don't Ben!" I begged.

"They'll kill you" I screamed.

"Shut up you!" Brad spat at me.

"I'm going to enjoy this" he said smugly as he walked up to Ben. I watched as Brad and Ben both looked at each other for a few seconds before Brad uppercut Ben in the stomach causing Ben to groan in pain.

"Is that the best you have got?" Ben stated bluntly.

"No" Brad laughed.

"I'm just warming up" he warned him.

"Let Mal go then" Ben said as he threw a worried glance at me. Yes I was in pain but I knew one thing for definite I wasn't going to go anywhere unless Ben came with me.

"What?" Uma asked innocently which made me groan.

"Let her go" Ben stated. I watched as Brad and Uma threw a look at each other and my stomach started to sink as I watched Brad slyly wink at Uma. I didn't know what was going through their minds but I knew that I wasn't going to like it; especially if it had anything to do with Ben or my family's safety.

"Ok" he said.

"Help her up" he instructed and I felt two pair of hands harshly help me up to my heavy and painful feet.

"Ben you can't do this" I said sadly.

"I can" he pressed.

"Just get home safely" he said slowly.

"No!" I pressed.

"I'm not leaving without you" I promised and me and Ben threw a loving look at each other.

"Oh how touching" Uma mocked.

"Well as a gesture of good will I will do as his Majesty said" Brad said and he grabbed hold me and dragged me onto the plank at the side of the ship.

"What are you doing?" Ben asked panic stricken.

"You said let her go" Brad shrugged.

"You bastard!" I snapped and I tried to struggle against Brad.

"Mal!" Evie cried out as she stood at the side of the ship.

"Evie!" I exclaimed.

"I'm sorry I couldn't keep you safe from him" I apologised as my eyes locked onto the dried and congealed blood that was on the side of her head.

"Don't worry about that" she pressed.

"Brad you better not" Jay warned darkly.

"Or else what Jay?" he snapped.

"You are outnumbered" he said smugly and I tried to shove Brad so he would release his grip on me.

"Stop that!" Brad snapped.

"You'll only fall quicker" he teased.

"BRAD!" Ben shouted.

"Yes your Majesty" Brad mocked.

"Don't!" Ben begged.

"You said you would let her go free" he pressed.

"I never said anything" Brad laughed.

"Brad!" Uma called out.

"Yes my love" Brad replied sincerely.

"End this I'm getting sick of seeing her face" Uma stated as she pulled a disgruntled face.

"As you wish" Brad shrugged and he pushed me and I became unsteady on the plank. I heard Ben, Evie, Jay, Harry and Carlos shout my name as Brad shoved me more harshly and I fell from the plank. Time suddenly became very slow as I flew through the air. I heard everyone shout my name once more and I looked over to them quickly and I watched as they all threw me a look of panic before my eyes locked onto Ben. My body plunged down and I quickly felt the pain as I collided painfully with the cold water. It felt like a thousand sharp knifes stabbing me. I looked up to the sky and my lungs started to heave in panic as my hands and feet were still bound together so I couldn't save myself. I painfully kicked my legs and attempted to stay afloat however I started to feel myself sink. I screamed out and struggled against my bindings in vain and I went under the water. I wriggled around under the water and bubbles escaped from my mouth in panic. My lungs started to heave as I kicked my legs and I was able to fling my head back which made me lift my face up and my head resurfaced. I took another deep breath and due to the current I was dragged underneath the water; however this time when I wriggled due to my exhaustion I was pulled back down. The deeper I was getting dragged down into the water the tighter my lungs felt; I continued to struggle however I felt as if my life was getting dragged out of my body. I looked up and I saw a light above me; everything became calm and my mind went on to Ben. It looked like I was never meant to get my happily ever after; maybe I didn't deserve it. However I wanted the last thought on my mind before death came to greet me was the love of my life.

"I love you Ben" I said to myself and my body become slack as I concentrated on not letting Ben leave my mind.
