10 year old Brooke Langdon sat quietly in her carriage as it journeyed through the rain draped streets of Port Royal. She was the daughter of Governor Robert Langdon. Her mother had died of the plague and her father had moved to Port Royal to take her mind of her mom's death. Brooke didn't prefer the high life as the governor's daughter. She loved adventure!
As the carriage drove past the many ram shackled shops and homes, Abigail saw a group of 5 boys surrounding a 6th boy wrestling another boy who was not responding to the blows. Abigail pulled on a rope next to her to signal the driver to stop. The carriage screeched to a halt. She got out and started towards the boys. When they saw the governor's daughter walking toward them, they ran away leaving the boy they had been beating on in the dust. The boy got up. Brooke could see he had jet black hair ad his clothes were ragged and ripped everywhere. He shook his fits at the boys.
"You'd better run. Jerks!" he cried. Then he turned around, his eyes widened. The governor's daughter stood, a ghost in the rain, with her pure white dress.
"I hope those boys didn't hurt you." Said Brooke a note of concern in her voice, the boy shook his head. Now that the boy had turned around she could see sea green eyes under his long black hair.
"Not at all my lady." He replied as a drop of blood slid from a cut on his lip. His right eye was purple and bruised. Brooke smiled at him.
"What's your name?"
"Jack your majesty"
"Call me Brooke" she replied. "Do you have a last name Jack?"
"No." said Jack "I don't have a family." Brooke gasped slightly.
"I'm sorry. She said
"Its ok." Said Jack shrugging "My dad was always on the ocean so I didn't see him much, and my mom left with him when I was 6. She never came back and my dad didn't come looking for me."
The carriage driver walked over to Brooke.
"Miss, we must be going." He said in a hurried voice.
'Ok." Said Brooke. As she walked back to the carriage, she glanced back to say bye to Jack but he had already run off. She sighed and jumped back into the carriage.
