"AnaMaria!!" You call happily, running across the deck. You are in an especially happy mood this morning. A smile dancing across your face, the remnant feel of a kiss on your lips. You were bored being in your cabin all alone, so you decided to go find AnaMaria. You want some answers.
You run around the corner and crash right into someone.
"Smart." You whisper under your breath to yourself.
"You might want to watch where you're goin', lass." you hear. You look up, delighted.
"AnaMaria!" You are so happy you give the grumpy woman a hug.
She shrugs you off, a bit shocked. "I gotta get to work, Mrs. Captain. What do you need?"
Your face turns serious. "Answers."
"About what?"
"How and why I was 'murdered.'"
"I told you only the goddess Calypso knows."
"Really." You know AnaMaria knows more than what she says. "You also know Calypso isn't a real goddess, no matter what the pirates say. "Are you certain?"
The look in her eye betrays her words. "Yes."
You give her a look.
Her brave face wavers. "Well, I suppose it would do no harm to tell you a bit. But not much!" she firmly insists.
"Deal." the firmness in your eye over powers hers.
She motions for you to sit down.
You do. She sits next to you.
She draws a very deep breath.
"How was I murdered?" You ask.
She sighs again, and rubs her forehead. "Do you remember that one time you dared to love?"
You nearly shudder, having a possible idea of what was coming next. "Maybe."
"That boy mentioned you to a few of his friends after he toyed with your heart. They got drunk at a party a few nights later. They were idiots and truly imbeciles in all they are. They doused a corner of your house in beer and lit it on fire. Somehow, through a twist of fate, right after you were roasted, you ended up here, with the Captain."
You're shocked, horrified, freaked out, hurt, betrayed, and many other things you can't name. You wanted to explode. "What?"
A wind caresses your hair, and you brush it back behind your ear.
"But what about my history here? What about all the things that have happened here?"
"You prayed to your God." AnaMAria said. "I truly believe He rescued you."
"Thank You, Lord Jesus" you pray.
