Aurelia kicked at the loose planks of the dock and muttered to herself, "Where are the damn sea turtles when you need them?"
Someone coughed behind her, breaking her out of her reverie. "I'm sorry Miss but are ye alright?" Aurelia turned to see a pretty dark skinned woman standing directly behind her.
"No!" Aurelia shouted throwing her hands up in the air as she began to pace. "I'm trapped in this damned pirate port. I was marooned by someone I thought I could trust and now I have no way to find me dad!" Aurelia bit her lip. "My, I mean my dad." Four hours on land and the place was a hive of activity.
Pirates waltzed back and fourth between taverns and women giggled, trying to pick them up. "I'm Anamaria," the woman said drawing Aurelia's attention back to her. "I hope you know yer way around here. You won't get very far if you don't."
Aurelia rushed to her side and grabbed her arm. "Please you have to help me! I need to get off this island. I can pay you." Anamaria considered this for a minute.
"I'll help if…"
"If?" Aurelia prompted.
"If you sit down and tell me everything from the beginning but first tell me who marooned you."
A/N: I know it's short and really late but I had major writers block. Sorry please don't be mad and not read out of spite. Remember I'll review yours if you review mine.
