Chapter 2 Disaster
The ship rocked back and forth on the top of the stormy waters as rain doused the decks in the early morning. The ship was made of the mahogany wood with pure white sails and a large dark black flag with a picture of two swords crossed ignited in flames. Men scrabbled about on the deck doing their assigned jobs as they screamed to one another. One person screamed the loudest and was ovbiously in control of the ship.
At first glance they looked a feminie male but upon closer look it was seen that it was a young woman in her early twenties. She had long dark red hair that was soaked with sea water and clung to her soft face. Her eyes were a dark emerald and below the left eye streched a hidious scar that was the only flaw of her beauty. She was dressed richly in black men's dress pants and a white evening shirt. She wore a pair of heavy boots with a dagger on the right one. Around her waist was a leather belt with a sheath that held a magnificent sword encrusted with rubies and amethyst.
"Put your backs into!" She yelled down from her place at the wheel to the men who were trying to get things under control.
"Adurna!" Some one yelled rushing toward her as best they could. "We have two overboard! And Jonn says he sees through the storm!" The young man called as he came to stand next to the girl. The young man was maybe fifteen years old with black hair and brown eyes. He was kind looking and strong of muscles.
"Kin who fell over!" She asked loudly over the roar of the wind.
"Broc and Teirn." Kin yelled.
"We need to be out of the storm before nightfall or we're doomed!" Adurna said loudly.
"What 'bout Broc and Teirn?" Kin asked.
"It's too late for them!" She said though not harshly in fact she sounded almost depressed.
"You'll have a munitiny on your hands!" Kin warned as he moved away.
Suddenly a flash of lighting was seen stricking the large mast of the ship which caught fire even though water from the sea rushed onto the ship and rain fell from the sky. The flames grew and moved quickly sending everyone into a panic. Screaming continued and only grew louder as people jumped from the ship in fear.
"Are you pirates or mice!" Adurna screamed to her crew as she tried to regain control of the ship after everyone quite doing what they were suppose to do.
"Forget the ship, Adurna!" Kin yelled as he regained his footing.
"I won't forget my ship! Where's your loyalty?" Adurna yelled as the ship struck a large rock that had gone unseen. It threw everyone forward or at least who was left and the ship began to take on water fast.
"My loyalty is to me!" Kin yelled to Adurna before he jumped overboard with the remaing members of the crew. Adurna stood up quickly and ran to where the hatch of the deck was. She pulled it open and jumped down into the darkness out of the light of the flames. She ran to the door of her cabin and threw it open. She quickly threw her things into a pack and made sure she had everything before going back up to the deck.
She stood up to see almost the entire deck consumed in flames. Adurna took a deep breath and ran towards the stern of the ship. In a single leap she was off the ship and onto the hue rock that the ship had crashed into. She made her way towards the far side and tried to calm herself. She had to close her eyes so she would not look at her burning ship. She needed to find real land and soon or she would die without food or shelter. She looked out around her and far away almost directly in front of her she saw what looked like the mountains. Surely it meant shore. Adurna made sure the pack was on securily before diving into the chilly spring waters. It was hard to swim with the pack and swords but she just had to reach the shore.
A/N: I know I didn't do as well writing this chapter as I did the last. Review!
