As they walked past the docks, Anya noticed ships that had black sails,flying the Jolly Roger. 'Aren't those pirate ships?' she asked quietly. 'Well yes, but don't worry they wont be trouble in town. My father made an alliance with these men,as long as they're in port they are not allowed to carry their arms and make a nuisance of themselves.'

As they walked past, a couple of men nodded respectfully towards Alexander,who bowed in return. 'These pirates know that this is the only free port within miles,so they wont dare to break the agreement. Besides,most of them are my friends as well.' Just then, a huge pirate stood in their path, blocking their attempts to pass. 'And just where do you kids think your going on my dock?' he growled in a low voice. 'This ain't your dock,its a free port,move away or...' Alexander said,taking a step towards the pirate,Anya clutching his arm fiercely. 'Or what boy? Your gonna make me? Without your precious father's help?' said the pirate,drawing his blade.

There was a tense silence as both men faced each other off. Then...'Alex my boy! How have you been! Its been such a long time since I saw you or your father!' said the pirate,sheathing his blade and beaming at Alexander. 'Captain Micheal its been too long!' said Alexander,embracing him. Catching Anya's puzzled look, he replied 'Captain Micheal here is my father's personal friend, and a great joker.He always does this to scare people away.' he laughed. 'Milady, my apologies for scaring you. This old sea dog still got some youth in him' he smiled and kissed her hand.'Anya laughed.'So who's your lady friend Alex?' he asked.

'This is Miss Anya Johnson. Her father and her have been here awhile,shipwrecked about a week ago.'replied Alexander.'Ah I remember seeing a wreck on my way in. Well my dear I'll be glad to take you and your father to another port. I would sail you all the way home myself,but people in my profession aren't really acknowledged for the vital role we play in society.'he said with a laugh.'Thank you Captain,I'll be sure to pass on that message to my father' said Anya gratefully. 'Well Alex,here's some goods for your dad,tell him I'll be waiting at the Fork and Spoon tonight for him. Take care son.' He embraced Alexander.'I`ll take my leave Ms Johnson,take care of Alex here.' he said,bowing with a smile. 'And what is that suppose to mean Captain?' asked Alexander. 'She knows'. said Captain Micheal enigmatically.

'Well I have to bring these back home.Do you want to come?'asked Alexander.'Need you ask?' replied Anya,smiling. As they walked up the slope to the lighthouse,Anya was struck by a question. 'How is it that no one has heard of this island before?' 'Well we are pretty far out and most of the world don't know we exist. The local captains know where we are and most them tend to keep quiet about this island outside of its boundaries. You could say that we like our privacy. Besides, we aren't that important to be included on a map' said Alexander. 'Well i think you are important. And the island as well' said Anya,grazing into his eyes,making sure he understood the full significance of her words. Alexander blushed.

Just then,there was a loud boom and a crash. Clutching Alexander for support,Anya cried out' What was that?'

I'm a simple guy turning 19 this year.
I lend a helping hand to my friends when they fall, and a listening ear to my friends when they talk.
Kind, caring and nice are what my friends say of me.
I created this blog to start writing my stories, poems and etc.
Do leave me a comment on how I write.
Thank you.
