I had to swallow my tears, for not only was my mother in distress, but I saw my father stomping very stiffly, suffering as much as I was, swallowing tears until one escaped my eye and his eye, for we both new what was most probable to happen to her.

The other girls noticed I was not a very good sword fighter as I practiced, so they approached me.

Hi, I noticed you need help with the sword huh? said Elizabeth. Maybe a little, are ye going to rat me out to the captain? I asked. No, I will help you, if ye shall let me. she said. I need a little help i gues, but what is the cacth? I asked. No cacth, I just don't want any of the crew to die, then I would have less of a chance of survival. she said. Well, that would make since. I thought. Ok, can ye help me? I asked. I hope I can, but this could take a while! she said. You'll be the one who needs help if ye make another crack like that. I thought. Show me what to do. I said. Hold the sword with your arms tilted back a bit more. she said. Show me how you swing your sword. she said. You call that a swing? Put more force on ye right arm and less on ye left. That is it! she said. We of course were doing this at a stop, for the people have moved where they are holding mother.  It will be a few months journey.

After practice, I wanted to know how Father new about these people, and I know he would not tell all to a pirate, so I snuck and found a note. It was the one that had clued him in on this madness. Suddenely, there was a light in a tent turned on, I ran as fast as I could, my heart was racing and I wanted to pant, but I was to be silent and not found. Finally, I arrived at my tent, got in, and sealed it up tight. This was the first time I had ever ran so fast!

Time to begin our Journey Roy. said father. I can not beileve I lost my daughter and my wife. i heard him say sorrowfully. I wish there was some way I could tell him, but the crew would have me hung. I thought.

Men, lets move out. he said. We climbed on the ship once agian and were off before you could blink.

What be that capin'? said Roy. What? said father. Suddenly, a huge shark appears tipping our ship over. Suddenly, I am on the edge about to fall.

FATHER! I blurted out. Natasha? he said.
