    Author Notes:

    There was a commotion at the end of the pier, a black horse coming at gallop, rearing to a halt as it reached the ship, Alice jumping off as she flung the reins to a waiting seaman. She was up the plank quickly and for that Bette was grateful, Alice not normally known for her

    There was a commotion at the end of the pier, a black horse coming at gallop, rearing to a halt as it reached the ship, Alice jumping off as she flung the reins to a waiting seaman. She was up the plank quickly and for that Bette was grateful, Alice not normally known for her speed.

    Alice grinned at Bette as she felt the ship pull away. “Hello, Captain. Is that a dagger in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?”

    Giving Alice a withering stare, Bette took Tina by the hand, gently pulling her closer.

    “Alright?” she asked, needing to be sure.

    “Yes. What is it?”

    Shaking her head in a non-answer, Bette gestured towards the prone figure of The Rascal on deck and Tina understood, quickly scanning the deck for the children. With as much understated urgency as possible, the Black Beauty slipped from port, much less dramatic than when it arrived, more ships of Bette’s waiting for them in deeper water. On the Captain’s deck, the crew gathered, Alice drinking from the water basin like she was parched, the front of her tunic getting soaked in the process.

    “He has the map. He got it from someone on land who brings supplies. In town I mean. The supplies. Or directions. I think it’s scroll… “

    “What the fuck are you talking about?” Pacing, Bette glanced at The Rascal face down on the deck then back to Alice, frowning, her hands on her hips. “Explain.”

    Tina put one hand on her Captain’s back, wanting to reassure as much as she herself needed the contact. She could almost feel the way Bette’s body was taut with coiled emotion, ready to be released like a caged lion.

    “Your mom, Bette. The King knows about her. Or… he thinks he knows where she is. Some scary men went all over town to get every map and scroll and piece of information they could find…they tortured a shop owner, killed some people. And he is on his way now, to get to her before you.”

    Bette froze, all the color draining from her face, as everyone spoke at once, “what the fuck, Al?”

    “Alice! Why didn’t you tell us sooner?”

    1. Ahhh oh my gosh an update I’m so happy you’re honestly one of my favourite authors and I’ve read so many of your fics over and over always meaning to start the new ones but then get lost in rereading honestly you’re incredible and I know you’ve made an ao3 which we are all grateful for but I truly love your writing I can’t wait for more you truly get us through the hiatus

        • You’re welcome and it’s always so fun rereading even when you know the outcome. I keep reading remember who you are and the beginning. I was reading remember who you are until 3am and woke up from a dream that it had a sequel of their life with their girls. I truly hope you never lose the inspiration to write for them because you’re amazing.

            • Oh my gosh more coming on RWYA oh you’ve made my day ahh I wish I saw this sooner but I’ve been so busy finally catching up. And I cannot wait for the next chapter of black beauty your writing truly is one of the greatest you’re one of the greatest writers to exist

    2. Well, this was a chapter full of suspense…. where is the the King and the King’s ships and guards. Is it possible that he is lost or the victim of inept ship’s captains? Or maybe he has been captured by Gigi and her ships? Might be a good move for Gigi… get rid of the King and take over his kingdom… Since the King has betrayed Bette and Tina in going after Bette’s mom, Bette should have no qualms in deciding not to fight Gigi but allow her to defeat the King and go about their buisness. After all, its a big world. This is the King’s fight… not Bette’s. This would be such sweet revenge for Bette and Tina… and Gigi would achieve the glory she seeks…

      So, let’s hope that this is where Bette’s mom is and that she is ready and willing to reunite with Bette. It would be terrible to come this far and for Maxine not want to have this to happen at all. I look forward to the seeing what happens next. I am nervous with the separation from the children and I am nervous with not knowing where the King is nor what is going on with Gigi.

      Thank you for this chapter. Love how much Bette and Tina care for each other and for their children. They are amazing parents. Write and publish as soon as you can….

      • Thank you Martha. I love reading your thoughts after each post! Seperating them from the children makes me nervous too, I can’t even watch my children drive away without tracking them!! HAHA
        Stay tuned for more…
        BK

    3. I literally shouted when I saw you updated!! You are my favorite writer on here! Love this story. And all of your stories really.
      I’m currently re reading “Remember who you are”.
      Totally agree with you about genq. Tibette fans deserved better.

      • Thank you Brittany! I actually did a re-read of RWYA over the holidays as well. That was my first story and holds a special place in my heart. Don’t tell anyone but there may be a follow up chapter to that story in the works LOL
        And YES we deserved better. At least we have fanfic!
        BK

    4. Well this has really made my day. I am so excited. It’s been so long since I have been here. Let me settle in and read and enjoy. Then I will post. Of course you must know I read the last page: “It was a black night, an ominous night, a night that offered only a sliver of the moon to see by. Black as midnight, black as a shadow in the night, a thief, an intruder.” You are sooooooooo talented. I cannot wait.

    5. BK!
      Adrenaline shot thru the sys upon discovering your BB update!!
      so now we sail again w/MomaBearsPirates, CubsPirates and restless,faihful crew!

      Let the gladiator-chariot games begin!!!!

    6. BK,

      What a writer you are! I read this chapter twice already, and was just as thrilled and full of anticipation reading it the second time as the first. I loved the suspense, and the “beautiful intimacy” of Bette & Tina. and how all your characters are much more than one-dimensional. I can’t wait to see what happens next.

      Peter continues to be irresistible to me, and Gracie “with all the superiority that a small girl possesses” – how adorable.

      My favorite lines, that are so perfectly Bette & Tina –

      “She looked beautiful. Tortured and complicated but so lovely it took Tina’s breath away”

      “Because very soon you are going to find out what happened to your mother. And if you think for one fucking second that I would be anywhere else but at your side, then you don’t know me very well.”
      “I know you. I. Know. You.” Bette smiled, feisty Tina her favorite.”

      I love this story, it’s an all-time favorite like all of yours are.

    8. Hey BK, so good to see an update. I really need enough time to give my full attention and i hope to have that Sunday. My life is a rollercoaster since my father passed away 5 weeks ago and with a dear friend in the hospital since four weeks. Between work and visiting him and my sister and stepmother, my free time is very little.

    9. A chapter well worth the wait BK, the rogue got less than he deserved. I have a feeling that the boy king will soon regret his treachery. He owes his very life to Bette and the healer Lady Christina. He will never get the loyalty he craves from our beloved captain by kidnapping and holding hostage those she loves dearly. Now the children are safely away, Bette will do all in her power including lay down her life to get Tina back to them. Let’s just hope it doesn’t come to that. I can’t wait for the epic battle to come.

    10. So glad to see an update. I’ve missed your stories.

      I think this one is my favorite ! Don’t get me wrong, ALL your stories are terrific but this one has an atmosphere I love, I love how you describe the duality of the characters , both hard, strong and the softness and tenderness.

      Can’t wait for more.

    11. Oh how I love your writing BK. Your writing is so beautiful. The emotions you are able to capture in these two characters always brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful and exciting story and I will be patiently waiting for the next chapter. Now I must read your new sequel Returning to the River.
