Chapter one
Many years ago a young girl named Isabella skylark stood on her fathers ship. It was a foggy night and the air was thick and wet. A fine mist hung upon her silk dress as she watched the waves slowly lap at the side of the ship. Her father was the governor and her and her father had been offered a ride on the generals boat. "miss skylark i presume you are content" She looked up at the captain "i am doing very fine thank you". Isabella had always taken a liking to him,with his scraggly beard and sweet disposition,although many times she had seen him a foul mood and knew not to cross him. "i suppose ye would like to hear another story as ye always do little miss?" "yes very much" Other times when she was hanging out at the dock,Isabella would sometimes sit with the old sea captain and hear of his great tales and adventures. She didn't get to Very often due to the fact that if her mother ever found out she would surely be in trouble. "once upon a time there was a large ship,it was the fastest ship in the whole world...but pirates owned it" Isabella gasped ...excited "the sails where the color of blood and they say the ship was under a curse" "what kind of curse"? Asked Isabella curiously "nobody knows,some say that they are doomed to live forever others say that they are forced to live underwater,never to see the sun again,buy i believe that they are doomed to live forever,no food,no water nothing" "nothing"! Said Isabella shocked "how do they live?" "yes nothing,little miss ...thats the point, how do they live?" He got up and stretched "i think that is enough for one day" "no tell me more!" "fine but nothing more. I also believe that the only way that they can break the curse is to return every single piece of gold they stole from the land of no name" "why did they steal the money...and how did they get cursed"? "i said no more,i could get into trouble for tell'in you these stories" "please just one more question"! "fine,but only one" "thank you,thank you" "just ask please little miss..." "how did they get cursed"? "that one is easy,they got greedy....the men stole money and riches from everyone,and spent it on drink drowning their woes in liquor and spending nights surrounded by wom...." "that is enough captain Shank...Miss skylark doesn't need to know the life of pirates and criminals" Isabella saw her father and the general standing behind her and turned. "but i find it very interesting" Her father came over and rested his hand on her shoulder as he walked by. "thats what concerns me Isa,its not proper of young ladies to know of such things" Isabella shrugged off her fathers hand and walked to the side of the boat. How could her father ever understand the dull boring life a girl must live,sewing and embroidering never allowed to get dirty Or yell out loud what they felt. Suddenly a large wave interrupted Isabella's thoughts. As she looked down Isabella saw a small boy floating face up was a boy,he looked to be her age with pale skin and dark brown hair. "look there is a boy in the water"! She said pointing the men exchanged glances and walked over looking to where she pointed. "by god,there be a boy in the water" Said the captain astounded "yes there is,thats what i said" answered Isabella hotly "MAN OVER BOARD"! Yelled the general The crew started clambering to get ropes and things so they could hoist the boy up. In minutes he was safe on the deck and had ppl checking to see if he was alive. Isabella walked over and looked at the boy. The men hoisted him up and started carrying him to the lower decks to rest and recover. As they lifted him a small gold Necklace fell from his pocket. Isabella quickly bent down and picked it up examining it in the sunlight. There was a large gold skull in the middle of the medallion on the end with small flowers and branches coming out from behind it. "Miss Skylark,are you okay"? Asked the general "Yes General williams i am fine" Isabella quickly pocketed the medallion and wandered to the side of the ship again watching the water as she pondered the events that had happened that day. That girl was me,and this Is my story.
