Kamiah fled to her house, away from the big boat. She peeked outside so she could see, but was mostly hidden. She looked down at her hand at the ring she always wore. The ring was very valuable to her because it had been passed down generation to generation in her family. It was tradition for the eldest girl to wear it. Kamiah got the fact that items passed down through families were important, but this ring didn't look super special. The part you wore was carved out of a seashell, and the top had a tiny little stone on it. The stone was a grey- blue. Though it was fairly pretty, there didn't seem to be any value for it. Of course Kamiah liked it, she just wondered about the ring..
Kamiah watched the ship come to the island while the village men came toward it, weapons hidden behind their backs if the newcomers were dangerous. Kamiah watched as some people came off the ship. They looked strange, Kamiah thought. The people looked as though they were from a distant land. The clothes the islanders wore were very different from theirs. Kamiah couldn't make out their appearance that well since her house was away from the shore, but she could make them out as they came closer. At first she thought the village men were allowing them to come into the village, but then she realized they were fighting off the villagers who tried to stop them. Kamiah instantly knew these men didn't have good intentions. Her eyes widened in terror as she heard a loud sound and felt the earth shake underneath her. She carefully looked outside again and saw a cannon ball coming from the ship, towards the village. She covered her mouth before she could scream. The newcomers were close now and she felt she should hide if she didn't want the strange men to find her..
Kamiah looked around her small house, deciding where it would be best to hide. Just as she found the best spot, one of the strange men entered her house. He looked at Kamiah up and down, as if looking for something. Then he grabbed her from behind before she could hide. She screamed and tried to kick the man but struggled as he got out some rope and quickly tied her hand up. He knocked her down to the ground and tied up her feet too- that is, after Kamiah managed to kick him in the face. That made him angry, and Kamiah regretted it as he made the rope around her ankles very tight. She tried to scream again, but before she could, the man gagged her with a piece of cloth. Her eyes swarmed with tears. She had no clue what had just happened and was extremely scared. She didn't know where her parents were, or if they were okay. And she had no idea how to escape. She watched as the man carried her to their huge ship, awaiting to find out what would happen next...
Okay so I need opinions. Should I keep the chapters shorter like this so I can post every to every other day, or should I have longer chapters and only post a couple times a week? Please tell me in the comments so I know!
