If i wake up i will just have to hear my bossy mother tell me what to do. Wait a second, their is a wad of cloth stuck in my mouth! I jolted awake and took in my surroundings. My wrist's and ankles were tied and i was in what seemed a hot, stinky sack. All of a sudden i heard deep breathing. "Gangway!" Clunk,Clunk. "Aye captain." "Pegleg, give me my marlinespike." "Here it is captain." Ssssss, Bump! When i looked up i saw the ugliest man ever. Then to my horror he started to reach towards me and before i knew it he had ripped the gag out of my mouth. "Good morning lass. Pegleg take her to her quarters aft the brute." "Do i drag her?" "No loose her, she can't escape."
"Tis be it princess." "My quarters are a cell in a dungeon?" "Aye, princess. I must go now the captain will be expecting me." "Great i am locked up in a dungeon aboard the 'brute' whatever that is." "Ye will find out soon, sure enough." "Pegleg the captain wants ye in the dining room." "Just what i was saying." Clunk, Clunk. "Be ye the newbie?" "I guess so." "Good girl, or so i hear, the captain wants me to give ye this sea chest." "What do i do with it?" "Ye put your belonging's in it." "Well i left all my belonging's behind, as you are rudely not noticing." "Didn't mean to be rude and beside i think the captain likes ye." "What 's his name?" "Captain Blackbeard." "Who are you?" "Just the cabin boy, by the way the captain would like you to come to sup with him tonight. Do you accept?" "Well if it is the only way to get food around here i guess so."
"So where is the dining room?" "On cart five." "You said cart, are we on a train?" "Aye, it's called the brute. Almost forgot, cart six is the mystery cart so i have to take ye above the brute." " Do you mean on top of the train!" "Aye." "We could die!" "Na, I've done it a bunch." "Is there railing up there?" "Here we are , up ye go." "You never answered my question!" "Just go and see for yourself." Fright flooded through me as i climbed up the ladder and pushed open the trap door. Just as i stood up a huge gust of wind blew me off. I screamed and grasped an edge on the side of the train. My left hand slipped and someone yanked me back up on the roof of the train. We remained silent the rest of the way, with me clutching him tightly. Finally we got to the next cart and he slid me through the trap door.
"Ahoy lass! It upsets me that you won't talk to me." "I have had nothing to say." "Sit down lass." This is the captain? The ugly man that freed me from the sack? "What's for dinner?" "Hungry? It's just stew, nothing like you're used to." "Is that an insult?" "Perhaps. Now quit talking and sup."
"Why is cart six called the mystery cart?" I instantly knew that i had said something bad because everyone was silent. "Cabin boy take her to her cell." "Aye captain."
