Epilogue
Sorry if this is boring, it will get better in the next chapter!
I gazed out of the square porthole and sighed. The sea clamly tossed itself, almost to a beat. I intentionally sighed again. Dramatic? You would be to if you were handcuffed to a desk.
Placing my hand on my palm and leaning on the desk, I drowsily closed my eyes. One of my longer bangs fell in front of my eyes. I rolled my eyes and blew it off. Just as I was attempting to get back up, I heard a snap. Slowly looking over to the entrance, and to my horror, flames were spitting heat against the wooden door.
"Ack," I choked out. Quickly looking around the room I spotted a caulking iron. I swifly reached for it and jammed it into the chains holding my one hand to the table leg.
"Come on... come on..." I pleaded, wedging it deeper and deeper.
Looking back and forth from the chains to the doorway, I bit my lip and tossed it aside. The flames were getting higher. I heard thumping on the top deck. I spotted an adz, and quickly started hammering it harder into the links.
"The roof is fairly low. I hope it doesn't..." and as though it knew what I was going to say, the roof started giving way. When I finally got a chain link broken, I cheered in triumph out loud. But my celebration was interupted by a collapsing of the roof above me.
Two men, still struggling to sphear eachother, felling a heap in front of me. The flames already leaping ito the room, caught on to the timber that lay under their bodies. I quickly attempted to leap over the two men, but one grabbed my ankle. I tripped and looked behind me.
"I ain't die'n 'lone girly."
"Him!" I managed to spit out motioning to the man that lay beside him. Using my other foot to kick his jaw, he cried out in pain and relesed me. I scrambled up and took off out the door. Everything was in a panic. I dashed updeck, and tried to look for a boat. The flames thundered exploding each barel of gunpowder.
Unfortunatley, the captin spotted me and leapt off the higher deck. I started off, but he threw his arm around me, and pointed his sword to my throat.
" Your coming with me," he snarled in my ear.
"NO!" I screamed. "let me go!" I furiously kick and hollered. I finally kicked him so hard in the shin he collapsed, relesing me. I didn't hesitate to get to my feet. I grabbed a small tin of canister oil, and poured it behind me. Carefully, but swiftly, I kicked a burning piece of wood toward it.
His eyes widened with fear as he lay moaning in pain. I smirked and leapt off the side of the boat in which two men were hoisting a small wooden boat down in attempt to leave their ship. I grabbed the boat as I tumbled into the water.
They swore and hollered at me as I landed in the water, canoe splashing beside me. I grabbed a pocket knife out of my dress and rapidly cut the ropes. I didn't linger to get into the small wooden boat and paddle off.
Sure they were going to attempt find me again, I thought to myself. But I noticed dark clouds swifly coming towards us. I was still pleased 'cause knew I had nothing to worry about at that point. A flaming ship coudln't survive a sea storm. I chuckled to myself and began paddleing away.
"But yet... neither could a small life boat." I though, eyebrows narrowing in. I suddenly started to panic once more. I looked in all directions, but couldn't see land. I swallowed hard and began to paddle faster. My arms ached, but I didn't care. I kept paddleing more rapidly as many more clouds gathered. Eventually, I didn't make it to land. In fact, I didn't see land at all.
