Hi! My name is Hope, I love God, playing the flute, beaches, chatting with friends, and lots more! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Donotclick/ en-us Homeschool Blogger Sat, 27 Oct 2007 11:37:00 -0500 Sat, 27 Oct 2007 11:37:00 -0500 Father my moved the hair out of my eyes , and looked deeply into my eyes. Natasha. he whispered while hugging me very tightly. I-I am sorry, I just wanted to be part of the crew! I said. I am not angry with you my dear Natasha! he said. You aren't? I asked in shock. No, I am just happy you are safe! he said. I hugged him back. We need to find mother. I said. There be a storm ahead capin'! said Roy.  The waves hit the ship like wild boar. The boat tipped harder and harder. We were trying to get on the side going up, we hiked to left, then right, then left, then right agian. We were left breathless as the waves crashed more and more quickly! Are hearts pounding more than ever. But then, we see a boat. It had not been dameged by the storm a bit. It was shooting canonballs, but here is the weird part, they are shooting it at the sea! They must be causing it Captain! I said. Eye, but how can we fire? Are ship can not fire and stay above water! he said. Tell all the men to stay to the left. I said. I shalln't let you! Fine then, I'll fall off! I said rushing to the cannons. Lean to the left! Father said. I fired the cannons at their ship, they were hit, but their ship was still ok. I fired all the cannons, their ship almost sinking, but it needed a little something to make sure it sunk. I'll fire all the rum at once! I thought. I headed for the bar, came out with all the rum and fired, they sunk! Why did ye fire are rum? asked Roy. To save our lives! I said. We were all relieved! But wait, we were supposed to be headed in the opesset direction! I said.  For Chapter 7, read next entry. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Donotclick/416112/ Sat, 27 Oct 2007 11:37:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Donotclick/416112/ 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. Read next entry for the next chapter! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Donotclick/407127/ Thu, 11 Oct 2007 18:58:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Donotclick/407127/ As I was boarding the ship, I saw 4 other girls enter the ship. I shall not be alone I suppose then. I thought to myself. I was very nervous father would discover me, so I just blended in. I was not use to blending in, being the daughter of the captain and all. I must get an eye pach of some sort to hide my face and blend in with the pirates that eyes havebeen takin' from them. Most of the pirates have lost something, Bill his his right leg, Jack his hair, and my father and I, shall never see mother agian. It is a cruel world for both the pirate and there prey. Were shall we stop now capin'? said Roy. England. saod father. I want to know if Susan, is alive. Mother. I whispered to myself. I missed her so! Abbie, Allie, Eliza, Natilie, and Christina stepped away from the crew when we reached England. Natasha! yelled father. Come out, I am going to your mother, after 11 years. I almost cried with joy, but then I realized that he would never introduce mother to pirates. I must think of something to see her agian! I pondered it for a moment. Sir. I said. It would not be wise to travel strange lands alone, you have not been here for eleven years you know. I said.  I promised her, I wouldn't become a pirate, I love her so much, I could not risk to lose her. He said regretfully. Then why did you turn to piracy, why did you get your self into this? Did you have no bread to eat and water to drink? I asked.  This does not concern you! yelled father. He was trying to find the old cabbin. He saw the door had been newly broken down. He ran inside. Susan! he yelled. He found a note on the wall it read If you ever want to see your wife agian, then turn in your lute to walt street England tommorow. And don't hold back, Our sources tell us how much lute though hast gathered. Susan. he whispered.

I thought to myself.  I wonder if he is aware of my absence. I am going to check up on Natasha. said father. He knocked on my door. Natasha, open up. said father. He came in and he saw no trace of me. I had taken the rope so he had no idea that I left the ship, he thought I was probably hiding 'cause I was mad. I had ran a two day journey in 24 hours. Here it is. I said panting. Finally, I get to see if father buys this and will allow me to enter his crew. I thought. I saw a huge bar fight taking place there, every pirate for himself. I tried not to get involved, but they pravoked me into it. I threw punches, i kicked and then,  I  found that had drunk thimself to a point where they passedout. Then, after the morning had come, I saw father. He said, Greetings fellow pirates! he exclaimed. I know this is a sudden offer, but my crew has been captured, so I was wondering if anyone would like to be on my crew? he said. A huge line formed, I had no wory about having to get to the front, father always says you can never have to big of a crew. I was only fearful because I am a woman, not only do they concider us weaker and worthless, but they concider us to be a maker of misshaps. I do not really understand these pirate things and thoughts, I just know what a pirate would say. Finally, it became my turn to step up to the desk, Hello sir. I said. Hello, how may I help you miss? he aked. I want to be a part of your crew. I said firmly. Well, I think I could find good use for you, tell me what you are good at. he said. I am good at hand to hand combat, with any weapon. I said. You are in. he said unsurelly. We loaded up on the deck. I took my 2 days worth of food and was on my way to be a pat of his crew.  I was happy, but did not let it show. I had but a normal pirate look. I wonder what it will be like to really get a share of the lute, be in on the action, brethe in the sea insted of hiding. Read next entry for the next chapter! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Donotclick/391540/ Sat, 15 Sep 2007 07:20:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Donotclick/391540/ Another pirate dives into the water, swims over, climbs on our ship with a knife in his mouth and a sword on his side. Suddenley, A whole multitude of pirates sworm our ship, we got out our best weapons I had always wanted to use my sword! I exclaimed. No. said my father. Fighting is for us, you go hide. But father. Now! he yelled. I  went to the gun cabinet to hide. Then, I saw them trowing our crew off of our ship, I grab a gun. I was unseen, so it made them easier to shoot. You know, just enough to knock 'em off our ship. After the battle was over, they took 200 of our men, we were left with only Roy, myself, and my father. Who was  shooting at them? said father. I tip toed to the food cabnet, so it was not so plain that it was me.  Natasha. said father. You better still be hiding! I rushed out of the cabinet and said, Father, why must I hide my face at the time of war? I am 16 now, old enough to see what you see. I said angrily. Because, said father. You are a lady, and you should not have snuck on here so your mother could have shown you how to act as one! So you could have abandoned me so you could become a pirate? I then stormed off to my tent. We best find a new crew sir, we can't run it with but 2 men and a women. said Roy. You are right, we best go to find the nearest pirate hiding spot for pirates and ask around to see if they be willing to become part of my crew. said father. I was very displeased by hearing Roy say but 2 men and a women, I am as capable to be a crew member as anyone else! I fought in all the wars with him ever since I found the gun cabnet without his knowing anyway! I said. I am going to go into the carribean, find a disguise, and be a part of his crew, he is to greedy to notice my absence anyway! I said to myself. I climbed off the ship with a sword, gun, and enough food to last me 4 days worth travel. I am ready! I said to myself quietly. I headed out with a single dabloon because father was WAY to selfish to pay me but a dabloon. It was enogh to buy a bandanna and a new outfit. I looked completely different, my only concern was if he would allow a women to his crew.

But dear, I am not about to let my poor daughter live like this, in an abandund cabbin, eating scraps! I heard father say while I was peeking through the door. Well, I guess you could bring back enough gold to last us. Mother said. I want our daughter to live a better life than being the daughter of a pirate! Mother said. I saw that father was going to not be back for a very long time, so I decided to just, look at the ship and then be off before he finds me! So I crawl in then I sneak around to look at it. The deck was carved to look like there was a mermaid, the dining room looked like one that had been carved by the royal Kings hands himself! I must go with him! I said to myself. I will hide until our house is out of site, I am sure mother was just worried it would lead to piracy, my father is NOT a pirate! I decided to hide in some of the cabbnets, they will not look here until supper! Isaid. We had traveled for 5 hours, it was past time for me to go to sleep, and I needed to get some food, I won't make noise if I just get a small slice of bread, I thought. I shook the cabnets at the first move of my arm. I froze completly, I had no idea what to do. That cabnet moved capin'! said my father's first mate ( Roy) With each step my father took, it felt like my heart skipped a beat! He opened the cabinets, so I pretended to be asleep, that way he would not yell at me! Natasha. he said firmly. I opend my eyes. When did I get here? I said hoping he'd buy it. Can we make it back home? said my father to Roy. No, the winds are to hard to fight against, They got us were a 7 day journey would, and we are still going the oppisite way. said Roy. Well. said Father. I gues if you are going to disobey me, I will punish you like I would my crew, swab the deck. 11 years later Natasha! my father yelled. Eye captian. I said. We are entering the carribean, help me set camp. Eye sir. I said grumbling. suddenley, the blow of a cannon ball came by.
