It has been over a year since the death of Rose, when Abi and Will found themselves on ship headed South. Will stood on the deck looking over the railing, Abi was glaring at him. "I can't believe you sold everything we owned to get us get us tickets, so we can look for your father. Do not realize that this world is big and will be nearly impossible to find him? He could be anywhere." Will glaced at her "Then way did you come?" Abi looked at the ocean "Your the only family I have left Will, I wasn't going to lose you too." Will smiled at her.
Abi glared at him "Don't we get all mushy with me, I'll have to hurt." Will just laughed at his friend looking back at the ocean.
"Beautiful, isn't it!" A voice came from behind them. Abi and Will turned to face the stranger. Will smiled at the man "Yes, Captain. It is." The man had a brown bread and dark eyes. He leaned on the railing between Will and Abi. "Have you ever been out to sea?" He asked the two. They both shook their heads. "No, but our father were merchant sailors." said Abi. The man looked at the young girl with kind eyes. "Are they not anymore?" Abi shook her head "My father died and we are looking for his."
"Oh!" said the captain. "I'm sorry for you loss, at such a young age too." Abi gave him a weak smile. The man smiled at the two "Well, I hope you enjoy your trip. If you need anything, feel free to ask. I help in anyway I can." Will smiled "Thank you, Captain." The man the walked way to talk to someone else.
"Will what is going to happen if don't find him. We have no money. We don't know anyone. And you are only thirteen. I'm merely ten. A little young to traveling alone. What if something happens?" Abi looked at Will with weary eyes. The boy wrapped his arm around her "Don't worry Abi, we'll be fine. Your just going to have trust me. I brought you this far, haven't I?" Abi just looked away "You did. Excuse me." She leff for the cabin.
A month sailing on the ship with the same people was hard for Abi, she wanted to keep to herself and just talked to Will. Will on the other made friend with those on the ship. Him and the young boy kicked a bucket around for their entertainment.
Abi just sat alone on the bed in the cabin. She grabbed the small bag that was the remainer of her belongings. Inside was: an extra flock, her father's journal, the jar filled with beads, and her mother's gold ring, which was given to Rose from her husband. It was too big for Abit to wear it.
She took out her father's jounal and slowly flip through the pages. She couldn't read so she would look at the pictures he draw on edge of the book. Her finger would trace the drawing.
She heard a loud bang, then seconds later she was jolted forward. The candle on the table fell to the ground. Then it happened again, but it sounded closer. The whole ship rocked.
Abi quickly took her book and put in her bag. She pulled the drawstring to close it tightly and then Put the shoulder strap over her right shoulder, making her bag hangin on her left side. She heard another bang. This time a cannon came through her room, two feet away from her head. Darring, Abi look out the hole and saw a black ship.
She quickly jumped off the bed as the ship rocked again. She went to open the door, but it was jammed shut. She the door trying to make it open. Her heart raced, as she heard screaming of the other people on the ship. She went to look at the hole in the ship, she saw people runing up the stairs.
"Help me!" She screamed as the last man was about to go up stairs. He turned and saw the girl. He turned around and looked up the stairs. But his good heart got the best of him. He hurried and ran to the door. He pulled as hard as he could but it u st wouldn't open. He looked at her through the hole "I'm sorry, lass." Then he turned around and ran up stairs.
"Please don't leave me." she yelled. It was to late, he was gone. She looked down at her feet and saw water around her ankles. She turned atound and saw that water was pouring in from the hole.
Meanwhile, William was running around on the deck, looking for Abigail. But with the rush Will was pushed over bored. Will was floating in the water when the ship blow up. He swam to a piece of the ship and rested on it.
Abi found he self floating on the other side of the reckage. Drifting farther and farther away on a door. She looked around and saw the Black ship as she was floating close to it. But then her world became black.
