Desiree was so excited to watch Master And Commander tonight. She had finally talked her 17-year-old brother Benjamin into going out and renting it. Desiree and her brother were closer than most siblings are, or at least admit. Benjamin took very seriously the traditional role of taking care of and protecting his little sister that older brothers could care less about.

"Ben! Hurry up I want to watch the movie!"she shouted. Desiree was 15 with long light brown hair and stood at about 5' 4". She loved to watch epics with suspense! She found watching surgical scenes from a long time ago fascinating and heard that this movie had a few in it.

"Ben!" She called obnoxiously.

"I'm right here Desiree; stop your screaming" he said walking into the living room.

"Good so can we watch it now?"

"Yeah whatever" he said sitting down on the couch, not too excited about it.

After the movie was over Desiree added it to her favorite movie list. "Did you like it Ben?"

" Yeah… It was… interesting" he said awkwardly. "But it was kind of gross when the little kid got his arm cut off and stuff."

"I thought it was cool" Desiree said, not that she liked seeing people in pain; she just thought the methods that they used were cool.

"Well I'm going to bed Dezy" Ben announced. Dezy, or Dez was her nickname.

"Ok, well night" she said running up the stairs into her room and leaping onto the bed. Thoughts were spinning in her mind about the movie.

"Wouldn't be cool" she thought to herself, "to be there when it all happened?"

Thinking this she slowly drifted off to sleep, dreaming about the film. In the dream she was in the water watching a ship drift by in the night. Then suddenly, Desiree felt extremely cold and began to shiver. She was so cold that it was difficult to breath. She looked around and realized that she wasn't floating about as you would in a dream, she was floating in the water, and she had to pump her legs to stay above it.

"Ben!" she screamed, coughing up water. Desiree felt two hands around her waist turning the young girl to see Ben in the water.

"Where are we?" he asked panicked.

Even if Desiree knew the answer, her mouth was full of water, and she was to confused to say anything.

She noticed the ship that she had seen had men on it who noticed the two of them in the water. They were scurrying about the deck, shouting things at eachother. A rope was thrown over the side. Ben swam over to it pulling his sister with him and grabbed the rope. Desiree clung to him as they were being pulled up and hauled over the side.

They stood up to see a young man with tied back black hair staring at them in wonder. The brother and sister looked around and saw many men dressed in odd clothing starring agape at them in a similar fashion.

"Mr. Calamy, pass the word to the captain", the man in front said.

"Aye sir" said a young man who left the circle of sailors.

"My name is Mr. Pullings" the man said extending his arm to the shivering Ben who shook it, "Benjamin Gonham."

Pullings looked at Desiree, "And this is…" he asked.

Ben put an arm around his sis. "My sister Desiree" he said.

"Very good, come with me" Pullings said turning and walking away, "The doctor will want to make sure your alright".

"Whats going on?" Desiree whispered into her brother's ear.

"I don't know, just keep close to me, I'll do the talking" he said.

Desiree was to cold and too bewildered to say much else. She wondered if they were not in a dream. She walked quickly to keep up with her brother who followed Pullings beneathdeck.
