Hope Keeps Us Moving [PRIVATE]

[changa]

Angelica, when she was ready, lay down in the bed next to her child. "Sleep now, Ginny," she said softly.

Thorne looked back at Jack. "Now I think you'll want to follow orders," he said, and pulled the knife out.

"No, Thorne. It was my fault. They're my lashings."

[Question]

Ginny did not sleep. She wanted to play. Most likely she'd sleep for awhile and wake Angelica up in the middle of the night. The joy of mother hood!

Jack grunted, "I guess."

"Not anymore. I want you to give her the lashings."

[changa]

Angelica groaned when Ginny pulled her hair in happiness. She gave Ginny her fingers in hope that she'd stay quiet.

Thorne shot him a sideways look of suspicion, but walked away and into his cabin.

"Well, I want you to give me the lashings," she said desperately.

[Question]

Ginny squealed with delight and she held onto Angelica's fingers. You had to admit, she was adorable.

Ginny hollered towards Thorne's direction, "Let me go!"

Thorne smiled wickedly, "Do it, or she dies."

[changa]

Angelica slowly drifted off as her fingers were gnawed on, bent backward, and just plain wiggled.

"No,"

"I'm sorry, Ginny," she said, a tear running down her face. With a CRACK, blood began to drip down Ginny's back.[/quote]

[Question]

-Morning-
So much had changed since the evening before, now Angelica was a mother. Ginny started to cry, hungry, in need of cleaning, and fussy.

"My mama will hurt you!" Ginny threatend.

Ginny bit her lip hard, she didn't understand! She helped Angelica. "Ohhhh...why?" She cried.

[changa]

Angelica stretched, and looked at her baby. She poured milk into a bottle she had purchased yesterday. She gave it to Ginny and began changing her makeshift diaper.

"Down at the bottom of the ocean? Sure,"

"I have no choice, carino, or he'll kill you," she sobbed.

[Question]

Thorne walked it, "Is it dead yet?"

"She'll come back up!" Ginny promised.

Ginny cried out in sudden pain, "Stop! Please!" Thorne grinned.

[changa]

"She. And no, she is not, as you can clearly see,"

"Until I kill her," he said, and slammed the door of his cabin.

"How many more?!" she yelled over Ginny's screams.

[Question]

Thorne sighed, "Darn. I'd figure you'd neglect her."

Ginny fumed, she started to call Thorne abunch of fowl names.

"How much did you steal?" Thorne asked. Ginny fell to the ground, clawing at the boards of the ship. "Mama please, no more! Pl-leaaase!"
