    Vulnerability

    Paling, the Rascal took a step back, only now noticing that Shane was behind him, the room suddenly a lot smaller than it had been a minute ago.

    “We are all on the same team, yes? Team End Golnar… I am your most humble, most loyal servant. Ready to do your bidding should you call, ready the moment you draw your sword…”

    “Sit” Bette ordered, gesturing to the table to her right where Carmen was pouring a drink from a dark bottle. Moving gingerly, Bette sat as well, crossing her long legs, by all appearances relaxed as the day was long. A hot mug was placed in front of her by Shane, nothing more than medicated tea, prepared earlier by Tina. Adding a healthy shot of rum to the mug, Bette nodded at the goblet in front of the Rascal.

    “Drink, Rascal. Drink to loyalty and honesty and the pirate’s code. And then… then we will see what this truth serum reveals…”

    ***

    “Your teas make me tired. I can’t think straight, my brain feels fuzzy…” complaining, Bette lifted her arm so Tina could touch along her side, checking for swelling, pleased with the results. In just her underwear, Bette stifled a yawn, even though it was only just past lunch.

    “It’s not just the tea, Babe. It’s the rum you are adding to it… take a deep breath in… in Bette, not out… yes like that. Again, there, one more time… good.”

    “The King tried to get that Red Rascal to tell him what our plans are, Tee.”

    Tina paused, meeting Bette’s eyes with a questioning look. “And?”

    “And, he told him. He told the King what he thought our plan was.”

    “Riddles and diversions, Babe. What does that mean?”

    “It means the Red told the King I would betray him…but he doesn’t know the full plan and it is simply a diversion to keep the King preoccupied while we go see if my mother is on the island…”

    There was very little light in the brig of the ship, not at night anyway. No hammock, no blanket, no way to know what was happening above. But at least it was dry, The Rascal thought, moving his foot to test the shackle placed there. He had been fed, another good sign. Black Bette was not known for taking prisoners and sitting here was just fine for The Rascal, for now anyway. He had plans, big plans.

    1. I am so glad to see a new chapter of this wonderful tale. I am only midway through but had to stop and comment that I think most if not all of us are still riding the waves with our valiant captain. I will comment further when I finish the chapter.

    2. Ah, the plot thickens. It seems that the rascal has not only signed his own death warrant but the boy king also. Bette will not sit still while he harms anyone she loves. Bette may not know the whole story, but I feel like someone who is now loyal to her in the king’s fleet will not take lightly the treachery that is afoot.

    3. Hey BK,

      What a lovely surprise to see a new update!

      Hope you are doing well and enjoyed your vacation.

      I am not sure when i have the time to read it, i am already way behind with reading all the updates from the last two weeks. Maybe this weekend but certainly somewhere next week or weekend.

      Take care my friend!

      • BiBi – so nice to hear from you my friend! I feel like we are so incredibly busy right now – I can’t believe it is mid September already! Hope you were able to get some time off to unplug and rest. Now that the weather is getting cooler might be time for a long weekend away… take care!
        BK

        • Hey BK,

          Time is flying away from me. I have a lot going on in my life at the moment and a lot of worry about a few friends battling with illness and my father who has another surgery next Tuesday, and still busy work days, I certainly can use a long weekend away to relax. But i have to settle with reading FF and that always relax me and gives me the opportunity to escape the real world for a moment.

          And what a pleasure to read your story, i am still on board at the Captain’s ship!
          But you always leave me worrying about Captain Bette, Healer Tina and their children. If i could i would jump on the Ship to help and protect them from the traitor and the stupid childless King Boy. But sadly i have to be there in spirit with them.

          Please promise me you keep them safe and healthy, no more capturing, being held prison or wounded. And with the help of the Poisoner and The Healer the Captain will win this battle.

          Take care my friend and I hope you are able to have a long weekend away!

          • Totally believing for recovery of your Pops and your friends battling sickness. Take as much time as you need, and let otherloved one’s care for U.

            Agree with U most heartedly about “NO more being captured, held prisoner or wounded!! It’s time for our Captain, Healer, and faithful crew to kick butt!!!

    4. Thank you for updating this wonderful story! Actually, my current favorite by my favorite author. I have missed it!!! I love your writing, BK. When I read your stories, it is like watching a movie in my mind, such excellent descriptive writing. Trust that I will eagerly follow wherever you go, as long as our beloved Tibette remains safe. You had me worried a little bit with the crows nest incident. Golly, our poor heroine needs to heal yet again. As a doctor, I was empathizing with Tina about patient compliance. Even so, she shouldn’t feel that her healing efforts were incomplete. After all, x-rays are still many years away(1895)! As well as other diagnostic means. Her knowledge is admirable. Too bad, ice wasn’t readily available. Thank goodness that Bette has her equally heroic “bestie” Shane by her side! Please keep her safe too! Can hardly wait for the next chapter! Great work, my friend. Now, I’m off in search of another BK story to dive into, or reread. Happy writing! Dr A

      • Dr. A! Yes, poor Bette has taken a beating in this story – I needed her to be a little off her mark so others can think there is a crack in her defenses… hahah we all know how that will turn out!
        Funny you mention the time line for x-rays… I actually tried to google when ice was used as a remedy and it seems there is still some time to go before doctors stopped trying to sweat out their patients and used ice to decrease swelling. And like you said, Bette isn’t the most compliant of patients, even if this go around she is promising to try and do better!
        Thanks for commenting… always appreciate your insight and enouragement!

    5. Made my day to se this new chapter posted!

      I almost posted comments after reading the first page I was so moved. BK, such beautiful writing.

      I was holding my breath after Bette slipped on the rope. For sure Tina would blame herself for Bette not completely being healed. As always I love how you write Bette & Tina. I love their flirty banter – “Don’t use that sexy voice with me” ….”So bossy. It turns me on”

      And my favorite line – “Long enough for Bette to feel held, treasured and for Tina to marinate in the strength and tenderness of her Captain”

      Can’t wait to see what comes next – does the King reach Bette’s mother first? what of the Rascal? And the poisoner and the healer – will they become the heroes of this great story?

      I love this story! Thanks BK for another great chapter.

      • Westywest – so nice to hear from you! Glad you enjoyed this chapter. There are some lingering questions and tbh I don’t plan these stories… I just start writing – and deleting – and revising and then writing again. It’s a tedious process lol. You bring up good points – who reaches Bette’s mom first? Who will be the heros and what is the endgame for the rascal… lots to ponder fo sho…

        Thanks for always commenting and encouraging have a great weekend!

    6. AHOY!!! Thanks BK!! Yay!! finally a new chapter!!

      Oh wow!! Wake up call for Bette!! Not only because of the fall, but also to witness that she’s surrounded by reliable people so she should learn to trust others, especially sweet Tina! Sigh…. So looking forward to know what will happen to the boy king and his armada!

      I really enjoy reading your story BK, feels like each word is blending and melting and flowing smoothly although the plot thickens!!

      Stay safe and do update us, BK! ^^,

      (imagine that I was swinging from the rope ladder when saying that)

      • haha! I love when you comment, Merlion! Def a wake up call for our dear sweet Captain who is used to handling business all one her own. You are so right – she should learn to trust others! Thank you for the kind words and stay safe yourself… buckle up for the next chapter…. the battle begins!

        No swinging for rope ladders though… :))
