A Pirate's Life for me

I sat outside on the porch looking out at the beautiful scenery before me.

Suddenly, a soft breeze came, blowing through my blond hair.

It was times like these I missed the most. I never got to relax like this very often because I was always on the move either my parents' hopeless attempts to get me courted or a gala that we were invited to. By the time we got home after all that I was quite exhausted.

Even as I was as tired as I was; I still somehow managed to daydream about being a pirate, free to do whatever you want none to stop you, but alas a woman of my caliber cannot do such a thing because it is considered un-lady like.

"Amelia, dear? It's time for us to get to the hanging." my mother said pulling me to my room to get all gushed up for the event.

I sigh saying, "Mother, isn't this a little too much for a hanging?"

She only laughed and said, "Honey, you haven't heard? Cornel Smith is getting promoted to General today as well and you have to look your best!"

Oh great. You see, my parents have been quite persistent for me to get married to Cornel Smith, but I always deny him whenever he asks. I just don't like him and that's that.

I am not getting forced to marry someone who I do not love! It's just not right.

Looks like that's not stopping my parents…. -_-

"Come along, dear" my mother called.

"Yes, mother" I said sighing following her outside.

We began walking on the cobblestone streets to out destination.

After a few minutes of walking, we began to see crowds of people and the infamous nuse.

I and my mother moved into the crowd to get a good view of who was to be hanged.

What I saw I was not expecting, the famous pirate, Arthur Kirkland was up there with a smirk on his face ready to take his fate.

How did this happen? Wasn't he supposed to be the best pirate in all the seven seas? Then why was he up there getting hanged?

I told myself I would have to do something and fast.

It was quite hot out and that gave me the perfect plan.

I fainted there right on the spot causing everyone's attention to be on me.

The now General Smith rushed to my side asking,

"Miss Lockhart are you alright?"

No I'm not alright you idiot I just fainted! I screamed at him in my head.

I watched as the lass looking straight at me with a puzzled expression on her face, promptly fainted on the spot.

It must be a distraction for me to get away she doesn't seem like the girl to faint often.

So, as everyone was tending to the woman; I made a quick getaway heading for my ship.

I would have to get that girl soon it seems like she would be a valuable asset to me crew.

Very much later, I woke up in the arms of General Smith.

I sighed mentally out of all the people. Why did it have to be him?

"Oh! Amelia, darling. You're awake; I was so worried about you!"

Oh on a first name basis now are we? I spat at him in my mind.

I sighed pushing him away and getting up dusting myself off walking away soon after.

"A-Amelia! W-Wait!" he called but I did not listen only continue moving farther and farther away from him heading towards my home.

I began walking briskly through the dark, chilly night. I had never been out this late before and I began to become quite frightened.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed me from an alleyway, putting a hand over my mouth so I wouldn't scream.

I was terribly frightened. Who was this person? What did they want?

The person chuckled a little and said,

"Don't worry, lass I won't hurt ya."

By the voice I could tell that this person was British. Was it Arthur Kirkland come to take me away? No that stupid. Why would he want me?

He moved us into the pale moonlight and I saw my capturer for the first time.

It was the pirate captain, Arthur Kirkland.

And so ends chapter one!
