Chapter 1

"Oi! You, boy!" a burly man cried. Sam looked up. "Yes sir?" "Help me move these boxes on board!" "Yes sir!" Sam cried and ran to help the giant man. As they loaded the boxes on the ship the rest of the crew got ready to set sail to the famous land of wonder. Wives kissed their husbands and children cried. But Sam was the only one who didn't say goodbye to anyone. Finally it was time to go. The boat casted anchor and the boat drifted away.

Sam sat alone on the deck with his dinner. All around friends sat with friends, laughing and joking loudly. One of the men saw Sam sitting alone. "Hey kid!' Sam looked up. "Me?" "Ya you, how old are you?" the man asked quite loudly. "16."Sam said softly. The man whistled. "Why is a young lad like you doing away this far from home? Wont your mammy miss ya?" "Don't have a mammy." Sam responded quietly. The man flinched. "Sorry kid." After that no one else talked to that 'kid' for the rest of the night.

Sam went to the cabin the captain had assigned. Inside there was one small bed, a dresser, and a tall mirror. Sam walked to the mirror and took off the grubby shirt. The bandage that had been over her chest had come loose. She started to redo it so no one would find out that she was a female. As she fixed it she thought "how am I going to pull this off? If they find out that I am a girl than they will kick me off this ship for sure! And they won't keep me just because I have no one to go back to. That was the only reason I came on this ship in the first place." She pulled a fresh new shirt on just as she heard shouts coming from on the deck above. She ran up and looked around. Everywhere men were running around with great difficulty because of the waves and wind. But that wasn't it. They were also shouting things like "battle stations!" and "man the guns!" as this happened Sam looked out to the thrashing waves and saw something that made shivers run along her spine. The very same thing that all sailors fear to encounter. Pirates!

Please tell me how I did! Thanks:D
