I wanted to see how different the two will go.. I will add on to this story . YOU CAN ADD ON TOO. ( its like an ad on story)But please make yer posts at least 2 paragraphs long. I don't take the spammish
Ok here it goes....
It was said I would never amount to anything. It turns out they were wrong. It was September the 28th in the year 1708. The wind blew hard that day and as I passed the docks, the masts, set with sails, saw no rest nor protection from the harsh wind.
I too had no rest that day. 13 and far too young to be tired on a daily basis. My father had just came back to London from the West Indies and I was to meet him at the docks. As I ran I could see the my father ship in the distance. Its large beige sails danced in the sun and the maidens hair, that lay at the bow, that was once golden, now was gray.
Once aboard the Spanish Jewel, that was the name of my fathers ship, I glanced at its crew. They varied in all shapes, tones, and sizes. But all I had known since my birth. I myself was born aboard this ship. " 'ows abou' yeh 'elp swab teh deck miss?", one man said. " Show some respec' a lady's onboard.", one I heard that voice I knew who it was. I turned around to see my fathers face. The same as the day he left. I ran into his arms and embraced him with all I had. " How are you belle?" My name was Emily, but he called me belle, I never asked why.................

"I'm doing very well papa." I answered drowning my face on his shoulder. A tear ran down my cheek and I smiled as I pulled away. "What's wrong Belle?" he asked me a bit worried. "Nothing I am just so happy to see you! I hate when you leave!" I answered looking around at the men unloading the contents of the ship. "Ah, I am very sorry." he said with a sigh and thinking for abit. "YOu know, next time would you like to come with me?" he asked lifting a brow. My eyes lit up and I smiled broadly. "Really Papa?" I asked never thinking he would ever take me along on the ship with him. "Yes...and you can be my first mate." he told me and I was surged with happiness, not only would I not be away from my father anymore but I would also be able to see the many places he had told me about. "Ah wonderful then." he said when I did not answer only nodded my head in agreement. "Oh, Belle!" he said with a surprised face. "I brought you gifts, would you like to see?" he asked me as he stood and I grasped his hand. He led me over to captains quarters... (hope this is ok Maria, but go ahead and delete if I missed something about how to do this...)

As I stepped in to the quarters. The lights were dimmed and the smell of his pipe filled the room. This was always my favprite part of the ship. The maroon walls were covered in portraits and maps of all his journeys.
He pulled me closer to him and asked me to sit down." What?What is it?" I said as he sat in his chair." Close your eyes." he told me. I did as he asked. I felt a warm plop on my lap and when I opened my eyes to see what it was it was a small black kitten."Oh papa! I love it" I held the kittens nose to mine." I'll call her Rose." I stood up and emraced my father." Thank you."
He led me out side and what I saw was no pretty sight. A large ship was just over the horizons and smoke blew out from the cannons.I looked towards the town to see houses burning. My mother was running up the street carrying my 3 year old siste in her arms. a shot was fired and she and my sistr hit the floor."Nooo! " I screamed and ran of the deck in ahurry. Rose in my pocket.
I ran to where she lay and turned her over to see her face , an empty expression and my sisters face covered in blood. I wiped away my tears with my blood staIned hand. My father, I thought was running over to comfort me with my mothers and sisters death but it wasn't. He, who ever it was pulled me away from my dead relatives and I screamed to stay. The man covered my mouth and dragged me into an ally. I could hear the cries of my kitten still in my pocket................

The man led me to a darkened room. Twas not on a ship, but rather in a small house. The windows were draped with black cloth, so nobody could peek in. The man led me to a chair and asked me to sit down. I refused and asked what he wanted with me. He gave a smirk and said " Now... why would I tell you that?" a made a face at him then plopped into my chair. He threw an aplle into my lap." 'ere, its a snack." He laughed, for I could not grasp it because my hands were still bound behind my back. shortly after a boy walked in, he looked to be my age or maybe a year older. He smiled at me as he walked in. And tooo me he seemed to be of no threat. the boy pulled up into a chair next to me. " The names Thomas." he said then quickly untied my hands. ....

" Thank you." I said in return. He gave me an odd look and for quit some time a silence befell upon the room. He raised a brow at me then softly said" Yer name." " oh" I quickly responed"..uh.uh Emily". I smiled as he smiled back. His eyes were of royal blue, the most beautiful I had ever seen, and his face was soft, but dirty. For some reason. I trusted him....
