Lily watched the rats that were running under her hammock with utter fear and disgust. She really needed to pee, but didn't dare to leave her bed. She yawned and put her book away. She tore her eyes of the rats and blew her candle out. The ship was moving even more and Mary looked through the small gap above her head. There were no stars. Not a single one was there to be seen, while 15 minutes ago, the sky was all clear. "William?" She whispered. "Hey, Turner?" The boy that was lying in the hangmat next to hers moved a bit and mumbled something like "what". "There's thick fog outside. A few minutes ago it was all bright." William turned around to face Lily. "So?"
"It's weird... we are on open sea and I don't like fog. Hey, could you bring me a bucket, I have to pee." She whispered. "Get it yourself, jeez. and go to sleep!" William snapped. "But there are rats!" Lily squeeked. "Okay fine, I need to pee now as well." He stood up and Lily smiled innocently to him. "Thanks, Will." Will stepped out of his hangmat and jumped on the floor. Lily saw him walking up to deck where the crew was drinking, playing games and laughing.
Then, screams were heard and a loud bang followed., The whole ship was shaking and Lily fell out of her hammock on the floor, hitting her head. A rat was walking on her leg and panicky she slammed it away. More bangs were heard, but now pieces of wood were flying in the air. Lily covered her ears with her hands and buried her face in her knees that were up to her chin. "Lily?!" She heard Will yelling and he ran up to her, pulling her arm. "What's happening?!" She cried. "Pirates!" He replied panicky and he duck just in time for the whole wall of their cabin got blown away. The rats were all gone, trying to run, and Lily saw bodies in the water. Up the water, she saw a big, black ship, with black sails and a pirate flag waving up the mast. "We have to jump!" Will said. "No, No, I am not going in there!" Lily said while thinking about all kinds of big sea creatures. Will pulled her with him and they ran up to deck. Everything was destroyed and the pirates were starting to enter the ship. Lily shrieked when a pirate stabbed the first mate to death and when the pirate came up to her, Lily threw a piece of wood ran up to railing to jump in the cold water.
The current and the waved were pulling her to all directions. A sharp pain ran through her left arm and something scratched above her stomach. She felt like she was going deeper under water, but she succeeded to get her head up the water, gasping for air. The whole ship was ruined and she started to cry loudly. "Help me!" She cried. "Will?" She reached for a piece of wood to float on it, but it was too small. She looked around, and saw a bigger one. She swum to it and climbed on it. It was very big, almost like a small raft. She stuck her neck out and searched over the water. She gasped for air again when she saw Will lying in the water, not moving. With the raft she floated quickly towards him and with all her strength she pulled him up to raft. She laid him on his back and slammed on his chest. He gave a few coughs and went knock out again. Lily listened and he was still breathing.
Her head and her left arm were bleeding. She noticed a big blood stain under her chest and touched it. It hurt, and quickly she removed her hand. She laid down next to Will, holding his hand tight. What were minutes, felt like hours. She watched the ship burning, that was getting smaller while they were drifting away from it. She was still crying when she heard a yelling voice of a girl her age and she turned her head. Another ship was sailing towards them. Lily wanted to scream for help but instead she closed her eyes and passed out.
