"Yo ho, yo ho a
pirates life for me!" I sang over the roaring waves of the sea
on top of the main mast during the storm. I was sailing to Port Royal
(Wallaibou Bay). I am sailing to visit Saint Vincent and the
Grenadines; I have a summer home there, on my lovely ship. The Bloody
Princess I named her, and did I mention that I built her from
scratch... well along with my best friend Caribbean. Yeah I know this
is the 21st century and all but I get bored during the summer. I used
to stay inside and read. Until I met Caribbean, trouble is her middle
name. And mine is mischief. Actually those are the nicknames people
call us. Last summer we crashed the most popular guys' party by
throwing water balloons at everyone then we threw pieces of the huge
cake at people. What can I say? We crave adventure and cause mayhem
while having adventure. Now we are in the middle of this huge storm
on our first voyage.
"What on Earth do you think you're
doing? You really think you are a bloody pirate on the Bloody
Princess!" Caribbean screamed climbing up to sit next to me on
the mast.
"Well, aren't I?" I said.
"Sky I
never know what to think... you're not even wearing you're safety
rope! We're in the middle of a huge storm!" She screamed over
the noise of the storm.
"Fine! I'll come down." I
screamed back at her.
"Will you come down the safe way
then?" Caribbean asked hopefully.
"You know me better
than that!" I said as I turned toward the mast put my right foot
on it and pushed off doing a back flip and doing other complicated
flips all the way down landing on my feet and sliding into a split on
the deck.
"It was worth a try." Caribbean said as she
came down the safe way (by grabbing the rope and sliding down Captain
Jack style).
"If I didn't know you well enough I'd say
you're getting too cautious." I said laughing.
"Captain
we need to go over the maps the crew is getting nervous about getting
off course." said my First Mate William Moon.
"Okay
we'll need to go to my cabin, that means you too Caribbean after all
it is our cabin and our ship." I said.
With that we all
trouped down to our cabin. Caribbean has her side of the cabin the
walls are covered with Captain Jack posters.
While my side of the
cabin the walls are covered with Will Turner posters and the desk was
cluttered with maps.
"Pirates' fans much?" said Will.
"My dear good William whatever gave you that idea? We are
not merely fans we are worshipers!" I said. With That I turned
to my biggest picture of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom the HOTTIE) and
pretend to bow down to him.
"It's for good luck! The goddess
of all pirates has sent us this storm to see if we are worthy enough
to sail the seven seas. After this we shall have great adventures and
nice weather and we'll follow that trail!" Caribbean said.
"The
people from Eldorado are not pirates! That's bad luck! And you do
know that there isn't a goddess that protects the pirate's right."
I said.
"Yes I do know there is no pirate protecting goddess
but don't go telling the crew that. They are all very superstitious
except for Jack Star and Will here. Also… my bad! I meant we will
fight…to run away." Caribbean said.
"I think I will
take that advice and run away from the both of you!" Will said.
With that all three of us started cracking up. Suddenly the door
slammed open and my second mate Jack Star came in.
"Sorry I
burst in but I did knock but no one answered." Jack said.
"That's okay Jack. We could hardly hear ourselves in here
either." I said.
"Hey Jackie! Come to join our dream of
bringing us that horizon." said Caribbean.
"Drink up me
hearties yo ho!" Jack sang.
"Yo ho, yo ho, a pirates
life for me!" We all sang.
"That's it!" I cried
jumping up and racing out in the storm and quickly climbed the
tallest mast.
"Sky!!!!! What the heck is up with you?!"
Caribbean screamed at me.
My thoughts: I wonder if we sing the pirate's song the storm will go away or we'll be able to ride it out. I have that gut instinct that it will and so far its never been wrong. Only one way to find out.
"I'd better go up
and see what crazy idea she has now." Said Will.
"Aren't
you a little too eager to spent time alone with her?" Caribbean
asked.
Well...um...she needs someone to make sure she doesn't get
hurt. She does
things on a gut instinct and at last minute. You know her. And besides just think of what would happen to us if something happened to her.
Especially since you're getting so cautious all of a sudden." Will said.
"You like her
don't you?" Caribbean said.
"Well..." Will started
to speak.
"You do just admit it us girls can tell these
things." Caribbean interrupted.
"I just don't want her
to get hurt. After all we don't exactly have a professional doctor on
the ship." Will said than climbed up the mast.
Will's thoughts: Okay maybe I do like her. The only reason I agreed to come on this voyage is because I want to be near her. To find a weakness. I'll find a way to get her back for what she did to me. She used me. She rubbed my feelings in my face. I was made fun of for a whole year. I'll get her back I'll make Scarlet pay!
"Why can't boys just admit their feelings? It would
make things a lot easier on us girls always having their friends find
out if a boy likes them. It gets so complicated." Caribbean said
as she watched Will trying to catch up with Sky.
"Because we
guys are shy. We don't want to get turned down." said Jack
coming from the cabin.
"Do you think Will likes Sky?"
Caribbean asked.
"I think we should stay out of it. Will is
a person who can guard his feelings if he has to. If he doesn't want
anyone to know then he'll take his feelings to the grave. He's not
always like Sky. She has no problem telling someone her feelings.
Although there was a time where he was exactly like Sky." Jack
said.
"What happened? "Caribbean asked.
"He told
this girl that he liked her. He spilled out everything. And it
backfired. Ever since that moment its been shoved in his face and
he's been made fun of ever since. It went on for a whole year. He
really fell for her." Jack said.
"Who was the girl?"
Caribbean asked.
"All we know of her is that her first name
is Scarlet.
If I ever see that demon ever again I swear I'll kill her." Jack
said, "No one messes with my friend like that."
"Scarlet...Did
she look very exotic? Kinda well almost exactly like Sky?"
Caribbean asked.
"Now that I think about it yeah she did. Why did you ask that question?" Jack asked.
"I don't know it just popped into my brain and out of my mouth." Caribbean said.
"You don't think
Sky is
Scarlet?
If she was I'd..." Jack trailed off.
"No! I've known
Sky since forever. That's not like her. Never!" Caribbean said.
Suddenly there came singing from the top of the highest mast that
everyone joined in.
"We pillage, we plunder, we rifle,
and loot.
Drink up me 'earties yo ho!
We kidnap and
ravage and don't give a hoot.
Drink up me 'earties yo ho!
Yo ho, yo ho a pirate's life for me!
We exort,
we pilfer, we flinch, we sack.
Drink up me 'earties yo
ho!"
Then suddenly the storm cleared as if it never
happened.
"My idea worked I knew it would! We have passed
the test from the great Goddess who protects the pirates. We're free
to seek adventure and our destiny!" I screamed.
Then I
noticed the strange island before me and got a very bad feeling in my
gut. And so far it's never been wrong.
"Captain Sky do you
have any idea where we are?" Will asked.
"I don't know
but I can just barely remember this place. I know I've been here
before I can feel it. Why can't I remember this place?" I
said.
I racked my brain trying to remember why this place seemed
so familiar.
My vision: Then I saw myself fighting a person who looked exactly like me, but I don't have a twin. "How did you find this place again?" the other me asked. "Never mind that now I can finally be rid of you." I said. "Ha I highly drought that." said the other me. Then suddenly I was pushed off a cliff by the other me.
I found myself falling out of consciousness and falling toward the deck of the Bloody Princess.
