It had been a month of sailing when I saw the South Islands. I suddenly feel very over whelmed it had been nearly seven years since I have seen my home land. Blinking rapidly I look over at Cole, we both grin at each other, even after all this time I also feel excited. We have plundered along our way and now we will show our bounty. I am even excited to see how the Queen and her child are doing I hope he is treating her right. I still feel protective of her even though I should not feel anything. I shake those thoughts and get ready to land. When my feet touch the land I feel better than I can ever remember. I Hear feet running towards me, I tense up but relaxed when I see this young blond woman with a soft oval face with dark blue eyes a small nose and full red lips that have one of the prettiest smiles I have ever seen came slamming in to me, Anne Marie clung to him in a tight hug. She was Ruby's best friend from the moment the girl moved to the South Island and Collins best female friend. Before I had met Ruby, I had believed that I would marry this woman. I felt her tight hug as i hugged her back. It was good coming home. We had to unload so Anne stepped back and told me to find her. I always knew she was out there but until now I had not thought of Anne Marie.... I would be seeking her out soon, I turned to see Cole and Ruby embrace on the docks. He looked to be teasing his little sister which made me smile at their happy smiles. I turned to see if I was needed to unload when suddenly I heard Ruby asking how I fared. I turned to look in to those green eyes of emerald and instantly I hug her, I hear her giggle, as I release my queen I can see happiness in her. Which for me does something to me, I've only ever wanted to see Ruby happy.... I sigh with content as I hear there will be a celebration to night in my honor. She knows I don't want to live in the palace or even been on land much but she is also being Queen and I have to give it to her my mother would have loved the feisty woman in her. I wish to talk to her and tell her so I want to get to re-know everyone.... I feel lacking but I also feel I have a lot to share in my adventure.... I then see that beautiful babe of Ruby's and feel a strong desire that I must do what ever it takes to protect both of them. I wonder where this is coming from She was happily married, He was caring the babe, and he looked as cocky as ever. I helped unload the ship as soon as I was released, I needed time to prepare for tonight's festivities, I feel excited to see Anne Marie.....
