Chapter Seven

Finally, Elizabeth let me out of bed to find Peter. First I looked on deck and he wasn't there. Then I looked in his room, suprisingly he wasn't there either. Last I looked in the kitchen, knowing boys like to eat a lot. He wasn't there either! Then Will came up to me. "Sorry," he said looking at his feet.

"Who told you to say that?" I asked him.

"Elizabeth."

"K. So, are you going to tie me up again?"

"No," he replied. "Elizabeth would kill me!" We both laughed, so I guess he is ok with me, for now. Then I left and looked in every part of the ship left, no Peter though. So then I went to my room, by know I had my own room because Anna Maria refused to stay in the same room.

"So," said I voice from the door, who I knew was Jack. I couldn't see him because I was bunched up under my covers.

"Go away!" I yelled.

"Fine, I was just trying to help," he said in a calm voice. It was annoying, it was like I was a little 5 year old yelling, where you want your mom to get angry just to start a fight.

"What do you want?" I said still under the covers, not even looking at him.

"I wanted to ask you a couple more questions. To get to know you a little better, and take your mind of what has been bothering you for the last couple of days," he said siting down on the edge of the bed and pulling the covers down. I think he was surprised to find me crying in a little rolled up ball. "Why do you get all upset when you can't find someone?"

"I'd rather not talk about it."

"I won't tell anyone," he said.

"Fine. When I was five,big sister went out in the middle of the night to see her boyfriend. She was only 16 and just got her drivers license, so she only drove to Wal- Mart and back. Well, we shared a room, and when I woke up she wasn't there. So, I got up and started looking for her and she wasn't in the house. So, I just thought she went to her friend's house and spent the night. But when I woke up the next morning, my parents were crying and they told me she got in a car wreck and died. My little sister as only a few moths old so she didn't know what was going on. I've been afraid of not being able to find someone after that. So, any time I can't find someone I freak – out." I said opening up to Jack. Which surprised both of us. By now I was crying even harder then before.

"I'm so sorry," Jack said sniffing.

"Are you crying?" I asked him siting up.

"No, I just have something inn my eye!" Then he ran out the door crying.

By now the sun was setting, and no one had seen Peter. I was looking at the horizon with a telescope. "Hey what is that," I asked the person next to me, who happed to be Jack.

"Whooo! Step back!" he said. " If you fall over again we can't find Peter to save you!"

"Haha! Very funny! But I think it is another ship," I said pointing.

"Gimme that!" Jack said grabbing the telescope. "Darn it! It is! It is the royal navy! Everybody get in position!"

I cannot tell you what happened because they made me stay in my room so I wouldn't get hurt. It was a victory for the pirates, but I felt sorry for the navy. Because their ship was totally gone and most of them were dead.

"What happened?!?" I asked in general. There was only a couple of people hurt that I could see. "Any body hurt come to my room!!" I yelled.

Then about 15 people came to my room and I did the best I could to make their arms stop bleeding and their legs too. By dinner everyone was ok.

"Dinner time!!!!" yelled the voice again.

That was the first time I saw Peter. But he sat at the other side of the table from me. I wrote a note on a napkin and threw it at him. He read it and nodded.

"Sorry I have to go. I will b back later," I announced.

A few minutes later Peter did the same thing. We met at the deck. "So you aren't mad at me?" Peter asked me.

"No, it wasn't your fault your crazy brother tied me up!"

"Ok, I have never done this before. But I just wanted to tell you that I loved you," Peter said then ran off.

"Wait!!!"
