I locked myself in my room until it was dark, not because I was being rude but because I was embarrassed. I couldn't show myself to the crew after how I acted that morning. I did not know how to face them. I was even contemplating on leaving once we made it to a port. But, thinking about saying farewells to the pirates left a bitter taste in my mouth. I sighed again. Then, I heard a mild knock on my door.
"Darling," Jacob called. "Can you come out for a bit? I need to talk to you."
Several thoughts came running to my mind after I heard that. I was worried. Did the pirates already decide on what they would do to me? Are they going to ask me to walk the plank? But, some of them are like family. Still, I was very disrespectful. Jacob would probably ask me to leave once we dock. I let out a deep sigh before I went to my door and opened it.
Jacob gave me a faint smile. 'That's not promising,' I thought to myself.
