Weapons and a Leaf
Chapter 1: Only the Beginning

"Damn" the girl swore and swung around to capture the stray line that had just escaped and wacked her in the head. The cruel icy wind whipped around and through her cloths as she struggled to find the line that was now thrashing around frantically. After several more attemps she caught it and belayed it to the closest pin. Aura walked down the deck carefully avoiding the people working furiously around her, gathering her pride back around her non-conciensly. "Captain" she hollered when she was in ear-shot of her mother.
"What?" her adopted-mother replied while concentrating on something else, her dull blue eyes focused elsewhere.
"The winds too strong for us today" Aura said barley audable above the howling wind.
Leilana considered this for a moment, looking around at the people straining themselves, and then shouted to Aura adopted Dad "John!" to get his attention, seeeing that she captured she continued "Do you think" she stoped. When John started to come over she hastily explained that they would be lowering the sails.
*Its almost like asking for help is a crime to her* Aura thought sadly *Thats the closest I've seen her to asking.* Aura couldn't voach for much time to know her new mother, she hade only been adopted less than a year ago. *Has it been that much time* Aura thought absently as she helped one of the passengers belay a line. *It all feels so natural. All this sailing* She then sighed and went off to help someone else.
((((((((
*Is it just me or is everyone wereing longer shirts?* Aura observed to herself as she climed above deck with dinner in one hand and a drink in the other. The Zodiac was ancored in a beautiful bay and just as Aura emerged from the chart-room the sun was setting, giving a deep rich gold glow to everything. *In fact* she mused * no one is wearing lose baggy pants, at all* she then snorted *Not an unusual habit for grandparents*
"Shit" she swore under her breath as she spoted a group of the passengers lowering a kayak the wrong way. "Lauren, Meredith, Jay!" she said a little loud to get their attention, and then proceded to show them how to lower it without bumping the side of Zodiac. She walked away uncomfortable, Jay kept on staring at her. Something she did not like, at all. In fact Aura didn't like boys, period. *Well I can't wait to dump them tomorrow. Maybe when they are gone people will start acting and dressing normal again.* she thought as she prepared for bed. She went to sleep wondering about everyones strange behavior.
