Chapter 3: Ye got the wrong ship.
Ria was sniffing when she packed her neseccary stuff. Nicol was in bed, although she was awake now but Ria wanted her to stay there for a while. So Nicola just stared at Amy packing her belongings. Amy was still sobbing. The three gilrs were quiet, except for some sobs and sniffs sometimes.
After Ria had finished her packing she helped Amy while packing Nicola's belongings as well. When they finished packing completely, they got changed to something warm and headed out, only leaving an unconscious commodore on the floor.
Amy was still crying when they reached the port. Ria whispered soothing, calming words so Amy could relax a bit, before she left to ask someone when the next ship would arrive.
When Amy woudn't stop crying, Nicola squeezed her sister's hand and gave her a comforting hug. "Amy, everything going to be fine.... Don't cry, please" She told Amy. "What exactly happened, when I fainted? Did... did father really hit mum?" Nicola asked, half hoping that he hadn't hit her.
Amy swallowed as she nodded. She was shaking. "Yes... He hit mommy... I was so scared! I thought you were.... dead. I couldn't help mommy.... I was too scared to scream or even do anything!" She answered loudly, sttuttering. Then she burst out crying into Nicola's arm. A look of fear was embroidered into Amy's eyes from that day on.
Nicola was angry and full of hatred for her father. She hugged Amy tight, as she felt tears ofd anger falling down. Her father had hurt Amy, not physically like what he had done to Nicola and Ria, but emotionally.
'Amy wasn't going to be the same,' Nicola thought, sadly. Norrington had made a permanent scar in Amy's emotions.
When Ria came back, she saw Nicola and Amy hugging each other, and she sensed a combination of fear, anger and hatred. She silently let the tears of mixed emptions drip down then wiped them with her sleeve.
And from that day on, all three of them will never love or forgive Norrington.
"Hey, Nicola... Amy!" Ria called, acting as everything was just normal. "We're going to some other new island and live a new better life... The shipt's going to arrive soon, alright? We've got plenty of money so don't worry..." She smiled at her daughters.
Nicola grinned back as she knew Ria stole the money off of Norrington when he was knocked out. Even Amy gave her a watery grin.
Soon the dock get quite crowded. There were tourists, sailors, people on the run and homeless people.
Ria grabbed hold of Amy's and Nicoal's hands. "We better stick together, savvy?" She asked, as she grabbed their luggage somehow.
Amy grabbed her bag and Nicola grabbed her own bag. They both nodded. Amy had stopped crying as if she had cried out all the tears. Nicola was feeling pretty tired.
Soon enough two identical ships came in sight as they anchored themselves behind one and another. Ria pointed to the ship they were going to go on and told them a bit about it. But only Amy seemed to be listening, because Nicola was busy looking at a group of rugged looking people. She eyed them suspiciously and wasn't paying much attention to her mother's explaining. By now, a lot of people had crowded around and somehow they had automatically formed two lines. One line went to the ship Ria Nicola and Amy were going in and the other line headed to the other identical ship.
"Wow, mommy, those two ships sure look alike!" Nicola mentioned. As she moved forward the line, she yawned.
Her mother and sister agreed. "They look like twins mommy!" Amy suggested, happier again. And Ria chuckled at that comment.
As the line was nearly they're turn to go into their ship, a guard showed up, which made the group of people who Nicola suspicied run, pushing Nicola right off of her feet. When she got up, she saw the guard chase after those group of people. She heard that the 'group of people' turned out to be a group of thieves. 'Lucky I'm not staying in Port Royal no more...." She thought sleepily, as she got onto the ship absent-mindedly.
She had been living on this port for all her years and now she was leaving it, probably forever. "I'll miss you...." Nicola whispered her thoughts out loud, as she sighed. There was no turning around now, the other identical ship was already looking like a dot. Then Nicola's eyes widened. 'Wait, the 'other' identical ship?' She thought as she clicked that she was on the wrong ship. "Ph, no! Mommy, Amy... We caught the wrong......" She looked around. There were o signs of Amy or Ria. All there were was rough looking pirates and whores.
A panic struck over Nicola. Sher had realized that she was the one on the wrong boat. She got scared and wondered if she could swim back... But the dock was already looking half a dot. She tried to see if she could recognise her mother or Amy. But all she heard were faint shouts and yells from the distance. 'Maybe mommy and Amy are shouting andyelling for me right now.' Nicola thought, hopefully.
"Mommy, Amy! I'm alright!" She didn't know if they would be able to hear her, but she tried anyway. She noticed that now everybody on the ship was staring at her because of her yelling.
An old man with a wooden leg stepped out. "What's a little kid like ye doing? On this boat?" He asked wth a heavy pirate accent.
"Oh, looking at the poor kid.... She's scared." A lady with blonde curly hair mentioned as she noticed Nicola's shakings.
"I... I caught the wrong ship...." Nicola squeaked. "Could... could you please turn this ship around? Back to Port Royal I mean..." She favoured, nervously.
A bearded man shook his head. "Uh-uh... Too risky, might get caught by the guards. Anyway, there's too many rough pirates onboard this ship, they could kill ye for turning this ship round!" He told her.
Nicola gulped. "Well then. Where's this ship heading to?" She questioned, her shoulders sinking down a little. She was waiting for an answer from anyone.
"Tortuga." A man sitting alone in the shadows, ontop of a barrel said out loud, which caught everybody's attention.
