Pearl walked towards the gallows, her head hung at her side. Her green eyes were dull with sadness. Her blond hair fell in front of her face as she raised her head to the gallows. The body of her beloved still hung there, warning off pirates. She put her hand her her growing stomach and tears streaked down her cheeks. In her other hand there was a bundle of white flowers. She held them up to her face and hummed her mother's old lullaby as she placed the flowers at his feet.
I sit on a cliff By the ocean shore I am watching As the sun sets The first my eyes Have seen this site As the sun and ocean Meet this night I watch with magic eyes As from the ocean Dolphins dance in the sky A dance no human eyes Did they let see before
She kneeled before him and cried. She prayed for him and sat. The rain began to fall, but Pearl didn't care. She enjoyed the rain, the sounds it made and the way it fell to the ground around her.
