I Didn't Do Anything

A One-Shot

MsLarkRiser1894

I'm going to get whipped. I just know it, even though the Captain hasn't ordered anything yet. The look on his face when he accused me of countermanding his orders was proof enough.

Lieutenant Hornblower stands next to me, his face grim. Although the fact that he's a lieutenant means that he won't get the same punishment as me, he's still in trouble. I'm grateful that he spoke up for me, though. No one's ever done that before.

The other sailors all think I'm the senior officers' pet, a little goody-two-shooes, but I'm not. I just try to follow orders. And now I'm going to be punished for it.

I don't understand. I didn't do anything...

My second one-shot... Reviews are more than welcome, so long as they're not flames!
