This is a mixture of 2 pieces of homework that I had to do, with some improvement.

I own everyone but Caliban (Shakespeare own's him)

Cassidy is a 14 year old girl who has spent most of her life at sea (if not all of it). One night her ship crashes on an undiscovered island. One day they get separated. Cassidy learns of the island curse. Will Cassidy, Kim and Ross find each other and save the island's inhabitants from the curse?

The Island

(Chap 1: Lost at sea)

It was so dark it was impossible to see what was sea and what was sky. Unable to indicate the whereabouts of the horizon I lay back and let the hardly moving water take us.

I'm Cassidy, by the way. Let me tell you my story. It was on a night like this, that I met Caliban in a place simply known as 'The Island'…

I decided to just let ourselves drift. There was no telling where we were. There was no horizon, I hadn't a compass and the stars had all been hidden, but by nothing, it was as if the stars had all bunt up and faded away into nothing.

Suddenly there was a jolt as the ship stopped in it's tracks. I held onto my hat, so no one could tell who I was. They were all the same these pirates, under the superstition that it's bad luck to have a woman aboard any ship or boat. I had to pretend to be a boy. My parents were murdered when I was no more than three days old. My owner wanted to dell me, but people only wanted male slaves, and soon she sold me and my friend Kim to pirates at the age of 2 (Kim was 1) as boys.

"What the devil happened lad?" the Captain asked as he came up from his sleeping quarters.

"I don't know capn'"

"But you should know, your o lookout duty aren't you?"

"Actually, as of an hour ago, my shift should have ended, but someone didn't turn up for his duty. I felt that I should stay at the post to be safe."

"It appears that we've landed on some sort of island, captain." Sam called. Sam was a short, slightly round, man with short white hair and a tendency to state the obvious.

With in a few hours we had setup camp and already half the crew was missing.

"Where can they be?" Kim asked me.

"I don't know… Let's just go to sleep, we'll organise a search party tomorrow.

Sorry it's so short, but this was only to explain how they arrived, it will get better.
