This is my very first story! I'm excited to finally have it up! Please read and review!
Lily Evans, the governor's daughter, was fast asleep when she suddenly heard the loud boom of cannon fire. She woke with a start and ran to the window. She could see people fighting and saw some figures marching up to the gates of her mansion. Lily didn't recognize them, but it was dark outside, as it was the middle of the night.
Suddenly, her maid, Julianne, burst through the doors to her bedroom. "Miss, please, get away from the windows! We need to hide, quickly." Julianne pulled Lily out of the room and rushed her down the back stairs, instead of the main stairs.
"What's happening?" Lily asked, trying to turn around. "Pirates. We have to hurry; we can't let them catch up to us!" Julianne replied. Finally, they reached a small door and pushed through it. They stepped into the room, which happened to be the kitchen. Lily hid in a cabinet under the sink, while Julianne hid in the food storage closet.
Abruptly, they heard the door crash open and loud voices. "She wasn't in her room. I think we just missed her, judging by the state of her bed covers. We have to find her or else the attack will have been for nothing and James will be so angry!" said a loud voice. "We might as well stock up on food, while we're here." said another quieter voice.
Lily heard them open the storage closet and Julianne's frightened squeak as the men discovered and pulled her out of the closet. "Who are you? Do you know where Miss Evans is?" questioned the first man. "I-I don't k-know…" came Julianne's panicky yelp. "I bet she's in here somewhere. Check the cabinets," quipped the first man. Lily listened to the sound of cabinets being opened and slammed shut. The sound of them coming closer made Lily become more and more anxious. She glanced around and realized she had nowhere to go.
Finally, there was one cupboard left and it was quickly thrown open by the pirates. "Well, well, well, what do we have here? It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Evans." The first man laughed unkindly as he heard Lily's petrified squeal.
