Finally, I can update!!!!!
Dad walked out, with half the British Navy in tow.
"Uh-Oh." I said.
"Perfect." David said.
"Are you willing to come quietly?" Dad asked.
I looked at David. He looked at me. We sighed.
"We'll come." I said, walking to him.

"And don't get me started on what sort of damage you to could have done." Mother said, after an hour of lecturing us on everything else under the sun. "If your grandfather hears about this-"
"I thought Grandfather already knew." I said.
"You speak when spoken to, young lady." Mother said. "I don't remember telling you that your grandfather knew, and I know that he doesn't know, and that's how it will stay. If he finds out, he'll accuse me of not raising my child right, and then-"
"Blame Dad for not taking proper care of us, and turning me into a rebel." I muttered under my breath.
Luckily, she didn't hear me. Dad put his hand on my shoulder, smiling. I knew that he was remembering the last time we were on the ship, alone together. We had had a lot of fun making fun of Mother. Dad told me stories of before I was born, back when she liked people. Now, she was just some crabby old hag. But she was my mother, and even I could remember the days when she told me stories instead of lectures. Was it me who was bad, or her? Was this my fault? Or did she just want to lecture someone, and I was always closest?
Finally, she let us free. I was confined to the house for a month, so I brought David up to my room. I flopped onto my bed, looking out the window. I could see the Pearl, just waiting for me to get on her.
David saw what I was watching, and smiled. "She's callin' your name, Caroline." He said. "You just need to answer her."
I smiled at the thought of me, on the ship, sailing towards the horizon.
"Maybe tomorrow." I said, and I fell asleep.
Short, but I'm being kicked off.
