Hey! Ok so here's my POTC story. It's got adventure, humor, romance, and any other kind of genre I decide to put into it.
Well, i really hope you like, but only you can choose if you do, so read on and find out!
Chapter One
I'll get straight to the point. It was by far the strangest thing that had ever happened to me. Like, getting sucked into another demention! Literally! The most bizarre, weirdest, down right—ok, I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm sure you're wondering what was so weird, and why I'm freaking out about it… so I'll tell you…
Me. I'm just a normal gal right out of high school, looking for a side job and trying to figure out what's going on with my life. I'm not "get down and dirty girl" or "prim and proper" either. I'm just… me. But I must say that a person never really knows who they are until their pushed to the limit, and I mean the max. For example, thrown into another world that they don't understand besides what they've seen in movies or read in a book; a place where you don't fit in and it's down right hard to know matter how you act.
It all started the day I got my waitress job at the diner down the street. The owner had just put me on shift and it wasn't as bad as I had expected; kinda a slow diner in my opinion. The only thing I despised what the disgusting outfit they made us wear. Ugh: white skirt with pink trim and a pair of grandma sneakers. Just fantastic! I thought to myself as I walked up to a few guys in the corner. And they were some real cuties: long hair, kinda gruff…maybe artists or something.
"Good morning gentlemen. Can I take your order?" I asked with the biggest smile I could muster up through the embarrassment. All I could think about was how awful I looked with my long brown hair tied up in a messy bun, but I had to bring my thoughts back to the diner because the blonde one (not as cute) was in the middle of ordering a coffee.
"…and a sweet and sticky bun please" He finished as I quickly scribbled down what I heard on my notepad.
"And you?" I asked the brunette across from him, who had dazzling chocolate eyes and a short brown gotee.
"Just coffee thanks," He said with a smile.
I nodded swiftly and left, looking back over my shoulder at the duo. And of course it happened! I found myself doing a face plant on the red and white tile. But that's not where it happened… although I sometimes wish it had been—anyways, after regaining my head I pulled myself to my knees and practically crawled behind the counter. What a great day this was turning out to be… and it would only get more confusing.
After a little bickering with another waitress, I was forced to return to the pair with two coffees and—oh! I had forgotten the sticky bun…so stupid. So I ran back and picked one up from the display case under the counter. Finally I made my way back and dropped their orders on the table.
"Thanks," Blondie said with a grin and I simply nodded and turned to leave when it caught my eye that the brunette was pouring something into his coffee.
He grinned looking me in the eye and I felt my heart flutter , "Rum..." He said simply, "Makes a good mix, the two."
In the next twenty minutes I must have tripped twice, spilled a cup of tea, broke three plates, and asked them if they needed anything else about four times… but all in all I though it was going good. Liar. I mean so what if I wanted to drown myself in dish water and dig my head and hide in the fry baskets. Ok, I wanted nothing more than to run home and curl up in bed with my cat. So when 6 o'clock came around I was out that door in about a minute, disgusted in my heavy winter jacket. I glanced back through the diner window, which was hazed over with frost, at the two guys and decided it was time to go... It was Simi-hard to find my tiny car under a sheet of snow, but I managed. And when I finally got to my tiny red Volkswagen, I also got the treat of a parking ticket. It's not my fault the stupid meters only go up to two hours! And seriously, who's has that many quarters just lying around? I don't. So I groaned and got in…I hate people… and cars… and New Jersey winter weather… sickening.
I started my drive home, dreaming of some island far away… a deserted island where I could just lay in the sand for hours letting the sun beat down on my skin. My mistake. Soon enough I felt my car skidding on the icy roads and all I could think of was, "Shit! Mom told me to put chains on my wheels!" Again… my mistake.
I began to feel dizzy and my heart was beating through my chest. I let out a scream before I felt myself freefall and plunge suddenly into icy death warmed up. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god…" Was all I found myself saying. I pressed against the car door with all my might, all the body weight I could push before I felt my feet become numb. Water was flying through the cracks in the windows and rapidly rising to my knees. It felt like a thousand needles prickling at my body and there was no escape. I let out another scream before I decided it was time to take a breath and pray. And I pushed and pulled and yanked and tugged but the damn door wouldn't budge. I'm going to DIE!! I thought as my head began floating and my vision blurred. My thoughts mingled together in an array of bright light and pure silence, and suddenly I was sleepy. And I felt safe and secure, like I could just let go and everything would be alright…so I did.
Everything was warm and silent…
I could feel the sun on my skin…
And the sand beneath my back…
It was just like my dream…
Before…
BANG!!!!
My eyes shot open and a blazing sun stared down at me. I blinked a few times to focus my eyes to a blue sky with skattered clouds. And when a warm breeze wrapped itself around my body, I knew something was going on... shit, I am dead. But if i was dead I don't think the next sense I encountered would have happened; because as my hearing started coming back I could hear screaming and laughing and swords and guns firing and... was that a cannon? But my eyes stayed fixed on the sun, even now that it was burning my pupils, I was afraid to look anywhere else. Eventually with a gulp I forced myself to look to my right. And a world unlike my own came into a sideways view. A view of old buildings and people running in all directions and a beach and… Is that…a pirate ship in the distance???
So, I left it at a bit of a cliff hanger... but not really...
And I know! The first chapter is kinda boring but trust me they well get more interesting!!!
