Chapter 1 Anna's Diary and Captain's Log
October 12, 1769
As the storm season is the coming to an end, this fine, sunny Thrusday is the perfect day to set sail. Sara is first mate, and I'm overjoyed to have her here. Damien has come, also. If I hadn't convinced him to come, I would have lost it all by now. He and Sara are my only support. It's a difficult task, to be captain of any ship. And on top of that, this last year hasn't helped a bit. My dreams have been coming back. This time, worse than ever. I've stopped talking about it to anyone, including Sara. But she knows something's wrong. Everyone says twins have a special connection.
In my dreams, I find myself standing at the bow of a ship, staring at the churning black water, my arms spread out as if I were to jump. I know I shouldn't, but a little voice inside my head kept telling me to jump. I fight the urge, and I fight it and fight it, until it becomes a screaming surge of sound and I can no longer bear it. I let myself fall, but I stop in mid air and realize that my hands and feet are tied and I cannot move.
Just as suddenly, everything begins to swirl, and when it stops, I find myself in a dark room, lit only by a small circle of candles. In the center of the room, there is something, a powerful something, and it's just beyond my reach. I move towards it and every time, just before I can see it, I'm jolted awake by and unknown force.
These dreams have made me very jumpy of late. The crew is already starting to question my sanity and it's only the first day out. I'm not insane! I'm not!
Or am I?
Oh, God, I'm losing it! No, no I'm not. I'm just scared. No. Can't be scared. Must show courage. I'm so powerless.... I've never felt powerless before in my life, and I'm not about to start!
I've got to control myself. I must stop letting these dreams get to me. They're nothing more then dreams, Anna! Nothing more than dreams... right?
Yours Truly,
Anna Sparrow
Hey, Lookie! I actually updated!!! I kind of actually started chapter 2 afore I started this one, so it took a while for me to actually write it. Sorry it's so short. Not good at this kind of stuff....
