OK, so this is my first story and I want to know how I'm doing, so add lots of comments please! I don't know much about the site so give me a break! Any way... this might suck in the first 2 chapters but it should pick up in the third. Sorry for spelling/grammar mistakes but give me a break I'm in sixth grade. Anyway I'll try to update every Friday so you people can read a new chapter every week. Sorry if you think this commenting stuff sucks but some people like it. So if it's annoying to you, you can just skip it.


CHAPTER 1:

"There was a pirate named Tetra who braved the open seas and explored areas no one knew even existed. But one day she went to see a special ship that had a big treasure but ev-"

"Oh my god! Niko shut the heck up! Everyone on this ship has heard that dumb story a hundred times already! God!" Tetra, the ships captain screamed at Niko, the pirate who was reading the story he had written about their current journey-to go see the ghost ship that everyone had deemed cursed. "Look! you made Link fall asleep already poor guy! God!" Tetra was tan and had blond hair that she wore up in a high bun. She wore a red bandanna around her neck and a white shirt with a thin blue sleeveless vest over it.

"Sure boss." Niko responded, picking his things up. "Sure boss? That's what I get. Pick this crap up and I never want to see it again, you hear me?" she complained with her voice raised so high the whole ship was staring at them.

Niko was a sickly skinny-looking young man who joined the group of pirates right out of high school. He wore a brownish orange bandanna over his head and a striped shirt the same color of his bandanna and blue jeans. He came from a corrupted family where he would get beaten every day and his parents hated him. He came to join the band of pirates looking for a way out his dangerous neighborhood and for a supportive family and some friends.

"Link! Wake up!" Tetra shouted kneeling down next to Link's ear.

"Aah!" Link, the boy stuck listening to Niko's story screamed. He wore a dark green tunic with a brown belt that had a large gold button in the middle of it. He had a thin light green long-sleeved shirt under his tunic and wore khaki pants and brown boots. His hair was golden blond like Tetra's. He wore a long hat over it that was the same color of his tunic. He was a young boy, only 12 or 13 and recently joined up with the pirates to get some adventure in his life instead of growing up to be a farmer like the last 4 generations of his family. He was quiet, innocent, and tried to stay out of trouble, not rough and strong like the rest of the crew.

The whole deck shook in startlement when Tetra woke link up.

"Boss! You really shouldn't wake people up like that. It scares the heck out of us!" a huge man named Alfonzo stated from up in the look-out. Alfonzo wore a maroon v-neck sweater and torn khaki pants and his hair was dark brown and had a tan complexion. The bandanna Alfonzo wore upon his head was the same color of his shirt and had a white decoration in the middle of it. He was the toughest of all the pirates and was great at fighting and Tetra knew she could count on him being second in command. He had become a pirate just to do it and thinks it was the best decision he'd ever made in his life. He thought that there was no better way of living than being a pirate.

"You know what I say! No alarm clock like the Tetra clock! If you could sell me, you'd make millions!" Tetra responded. She was feisty and could take care of herself. Everyone thought that Tetra desired to find the ghost ship because of the large treasure thought to be on it, but she really wanted to prove to the world that she was not cowardly. She decided to start a band of pirates with Alfonzo because of her family. Tetra's rich parents gave her food and water and an allowance but never really cared about her to any extent. She was really close to her older sister who took care of her when she was younger but died in a horse riding accident a year before Tetra ran off to recruit Alfonzo and become a pirate. But no one knew that because Tetra never talked about her past. She was tough and strict most of the time, but cared deeply for her crew and tried to act as her older sister did. She was well respected and about Link's age making her very mature to run a ship of pirates at that age.

"Hey, Tetra, uh-" Link stammered.

"WHAT LINK? Just spit it out already!" Tetra shouted in Link's face.

"Uh, nothing, never mind." Link replied, terrified. He wasn't used to being yelled at all the time yet.

Tetra's expression changed and she sat down "Link, I want to know what you have to say." she said softly, exposing her nice, understanding side.

Link took a seat next to Tetra. "Well, I was just thinking that maybe this ghost ship thing isn't such a good idea..."

"THAT'S WHAT YOU WANTED TO SAY!" Tetra shouted as they both stood up, back in link's face. "You are such a weakling! I don't understand why you decided to join us!"

"I'm s-" link got cut off.

"If you are too weak to go look for a stupid ghost ship I don't think I want you on my crew! If you don't think you can handle it, I'll drop you off at Malida Island It's right next to us! It'll only take a few minutes to go there and come back!"

"I'm sorry!" Link said raising his voice a little.

"DON'T APOLOGIZE! I don't a weak apology from you! I want to know if you can handle searching for the Ghost ship! CAN YOU HANDLE IT?" Tetra finished her lecture.

"Yes." Link said, back to his normal, quiet voice level.

"GOOD!" Tetra stormed off to her captains wheel. When Link looked around he saw everyone staring at him. His cheeks started to glow red and after a moment of embarrassment, he rushed down to the cabin.

Link plopped on his small, uncomfortable lower bunk bed and took out some paper and started writing.

Dear parents,

I miss you all so much and think I'm going to come home soon. Say hi to Little sis Arill for me.

-LINK

Link put the paper in an envelope and addressed it to his farm. He put it in his pockets and went back upstairs to where Tetra and the rest of the crew were.

"SHIP!" Alfonzo screamed from the look-out.

Tetra came running and climbed up the ladder to see the ship. Alfonzo handed Tetra the telescope and she had a concentrated look on her face as she searched for the ship.

"I SEE IT!" Tetra shouted in excitement.

The ship was dark brown and spooky-looking. It looked very old and it's sail was raised up so it was hardly moving.

"I think we have ourselves a ghost ship here, crew!" Tetra said as she turned around with a huge smile spread across her face.

Excitement and cheers clamored through the ship. Even Link felt happy. Not because the Ghost ship has been spotted, but because Tetra was so happy. He had never seen her like this and thought that she looked like enjoyable company.

Tetra hurried to the wheel and turned the ship tword the ghost ship. As soon as their pirate ship was turned, the air grew cold and foggy.

Pains and unsettlement grew in Link's stomach and he started to feel queezy.

Niko coughed and tried to wave away the fog in front of him.

"Tetra, this fog is so thick I can't see a thing!" Alfonzo shouted down.

"It's fine. I know where to go." Tetra replied in a mysterious voice with a large, mischievous grin on her face.


Hi, yes it's me again. Sorry if you don't like it but remember the first two chapters are going to be slow, non-humorous and all-together crappy. But, it's necessary you read them for the story or else you'll be like what the heck and won't know what's happening because I'm making the story a little different then the game.
