Chapter 1

"Arin!" I yell from the Captain's Quarters. A figure stepped in and stood at attention. "You're not Arin." I gurgled.

"And you're drunk." A voice laughed. "It's Nikola. Arin's sleeping right now."

"I feel a ship following us. Their waves are crashing against ours." I say, taking a swig of rum.

Nikola's eyes widened and yelled out, "Daniel! Scout around! Are there ships?"

A voice called back, "Navy ship about 20 meters southeast!"

"Call the troops!" I groggily stand up, but I fall back down.

"Rest, Captain." Nikola grabbed the rum bottle. "I'll take care of the troops."

"I need to see the fight!" I protest, but sleep overtakes my body.

(pretend this is a line breaker) (Duh)

Someone shakes my shoulder. "Captain!" They yell.

"Ay." I grumble, with a slight Russian accent. "Imma up for a hangover."

"Your food, Captain." Arin comes into focus.

"No need to call me Captain." I say, grabbing the silver tray full of food. "We've been friends for a while, Arin. Ever since we were working in the stables on land."

Arin laughed. "Those were the good days, but sadly, we're here, working for ourselves."

"At least it's freedom." Nikola comes in. "Captain awake?"

"Yep." I say, popping the P.

"Well, the ship stopped, should I call the blacksmith?" Nikola would find any reason to hang around Hanns the carpenter.

"No," I say. "You're not going to snuggle this time. Continue sailing." She scowled.

"But, Arin-" Nikola tried to blame.

"No blaming the first mate." I scold her. "I made you into a sailing master because you worked hard. What me to make you back into the "swabbie?"

"No, Captain." Nikola widen her eyes and left the Quarters. I heard her footsteps running.

"No need to threaten her." Arin scolded me. "I know you're drunk, but really?"

"Ay." I wave her off. "Go off with your first matey business. Imma eat my steak."

"Captain Nicole, Captain Nicole!" One of the Cabin Boys, Sammi, ran in. Well, she's a girl. Maybe Cabin Girl?

"What?" I asked, irritated.

"We're not at sea anymore." She pointed out the door. "We're not near any continent. The compass is going crazy! What now?"

I peered out the door and saw a large ship next my beauty.
