Author's Note: Well, this is the last chapter. It's the shortest of them all, but I think it's good enough. Thanks for the reviews, favorites, and follows! It was all greatly appreciated! Thank you!
The Present
Grinning, Enola happily munched on an apple, her feet dangling in the river water. It was another beautiful day on the island that she and everyone else inhabited. It had been five months since that whole catastrophe had taken place. Some of the pirates were still alive and had pleaded to be kept alive. The Mariner had relented and allowed them to live. So, she, the Mariner, Helen, Blood, Jaymz, and the rest of the ex-pirates were all living on the island in complete harmony. There wasn't any other disturbances after that horrendous day and all was well and peaceful.
"Enola?"
Lowering her apple to her lap, Enola looked up and saw Jaymz approaching her. He was still as attractive as the first day she had met him. His dark hair had grown longer, barely touching his shoulders and his green eyes were still mesmerizing. Jaymz took a seat next to her, also putting his bare feet into the river. Casually, he threw an arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to his body.
Enola sighed in contentment, leaning her head against his shoulder and tossing her half-eaten apple elsewhere. "What are you up to, Jaymz?" she questioned him, curiosity painting her voice.
"Nothing much," answered Jaymz, no longer using his pirate lingo. He had abandoned it the day his father died. "I was helping Blood and Scout carry more wood to the huts. What about you? What has my girl been up to?" He brushed his lips across her cheek in a brief kiss.
"Nothing, just sitting here," Enola breathed, shutting her eyes. "Relaxing."
Jaymz hummed in response, nodding his head. It was then that the two of them noticed the Mariner and Helen walking on the other side of the river, their hands joined.
Yes, the Mariner had decided to stay with them.
This timeā¦for good.
A smile found its way onto Enola's face and she wrapped her arms around Jaymz's waist, sighing once more.
All was at peace.
The End
