Chapter 4: Off the boat
The waves sloshed upon the sides of the enormous ship, and then drew back in a jumble of white foam. More and more emerald waves found an excuse to morph themselves into a glamorous color of white-a color fit for a queen but given only to the good. Scarlet had been starring at this cycle for over an hour; her own emerald eyes were at home near the sea, and Scarlet's beauty was unmistakably striking near the waters, which was frankly why she was there.
But no courting advances were made and Scarlet was forced to think; as chance would have it, her mind wandered to the topic of her children. She had never thought of them before, and never really liked them before either. Bonnie was the only child she ever loved-with that though, Scarlet's heart sunk to an immeasurably depth. "Bonnie would have loved to be on a ship.Pa would have too."
The next day, Scarlet woke up to the whistle of the ship and to Abigail's voice, "Scarlet wake up! We here in England, Scarlet!"
"I'm coming, I'm coming," shouted Scarlet as she primped herself and readied her baggage. "Coming."
