Chapter Twelve

Below deck, Skye and Kate came to a large trunk. Kate lifted the lid, revealing a disorganized heap of clothes.

“Help yourself,” Kate told her.

The two of them searched through the trunk for clothing that would fit their smaller builds. As she pulled out a few shirts to look at, Kate glanced at Skye with a smile.

“Last night when I asked you about your friends, I never imagined I’d get to meet ‘em, especially so soon,” she remarked.

Skye’s face lit with a smile as well. “I know. I couldn’t have been more stunned or overjoyed to wake up and see Will.”

“He’s a very nice young man,” Kate commented.

“Yes, he is. The nicest I have ever met.” Skye paused with an adoring look.

Kate grinned and teased, “Handsome too.”

Skye blushed and was silent for a long moment before saying, “I was so afraid I’d never see him again.”

Skye turned her attention back to the trunk. Before long, she had picked out a pair of dark breeches and a white shirt like those she had on, but clean and much nicer. She also pulled out a brown waistcoat.

When Kate had found what she wanted, she went to the cabinet John had told her about and gathered bandages and some ointment, all items that pirates rarely came by. She and Skye then changed into the new clothes and Kate tended Skye’s wound.

Kate smiled as they left the cabin. “You’re welcome.

On deck, Skye knew that Will and Matthew were very anxious to hear the tale she had to tell them. She and Kate walked up to the helm where the two of them waited with John and Skye took a seat on a barrel that Will pulled up for her. From there, she told them everything that had happened since the night she was taken from the orphanage. When Skye came to the part about the storm saving her from being beaten by Kelley, Matthew glanced momentarily at John, who squirmed a little under his friend’s gaze. God had used the storm for His plan.

As soon as all the stories had been told, Will and Matthew stood to get back to the ship repairs they had been doing early that morning. Skye and Kate helped as well, though Skye was limited as to what she could do without causing herself pain. Will kept a close watch on her and quickly came to her aid whenever she needed it.

Some time later, John grew tired of standing at the wheel, watching the work, so he called, “Who wants to take over up here for a while?”

“I can.”

John was a little surprised to see Skye. She walked up beside him, ready and anxious to take the responsibility of steering the ship.

“Do you think you can handle it?” John asked after studying her for a moment.

Skye only nodded.

John stepped back, letting her take the wheel, though she could sense his reluctance.

“Just keep ‘er goin’ straight east, all right?” he said. His tone
