The Pirates of Rum :Ch.1:

Chapter One: Pirates!

It was a few years ago around the eighteenth century, little Sam was eight and she was with her father walking around the village. When Sam's curious dark brown eyes wandered over to a crowd, without her father noticing Sam ran towards the crowd. There was a man heading his way to a stage with a rope in the shape of a hoop on it, a noose.  Sam raised one of her eyebrows, then she heard a word that made her smile, "pirate".

When the men was about to get on stage he stopped at started to wait for the man on the stage to shut up. Since Sam was short she ran up to the man without drawing attention to herself. When she reached the man, she smiled kindly making the man raise a dark eyebrow. "Are ye... a pirate!?" Sam asked happily, "aye." The man answered, Sam was jumping up and down from excitement. She couldn't believe she was actually talking to a pirate!

"That is so cool!! I've always wanted to become a pirate!"  Sam giggled,

"Heh, is that so lass?" The pirate chuckled, Sam nodded happily as a response.

"Well since that be, ye can call me capt'n," the pirate captain chuckled,

"aye, capt'n!" Sam smiled brightly.

The pirate captain smiled, then slowly looked up at the man on stage, he was almost done. The pirate captain sighed, "hey lass, since I would be needing this anymore; can you look after it for me?" The pirate captain asked as he placed his pirate hat on Sam's head, "o-of course!!" Sam yelled happily then she hugged the pirate captain. After Sam let go of him the pirate captain walked up on the stage, someone put the noose around the pirate captain's neck, and then a lever was pulled... hanging the pirate captain.

Sam gasped and her eyes widened, she ran back over to her father. "D-Dad!! Those horrible men just hanged the capt'n!!!" Sam yelled teary eyed. Her father looked over to the noose, "bloody pirate. Severs him right, all they cause is trouble. They are demons." Sam's father growled, "they aren't all demons..." Sam sighed under her breath. Then Sam's father quickly dragged his daughter home.

Years later, Sam was around fifth teen, and she was looking up at a ship; her ship, her pirate ship. "Well... we finally finish it!" Sam chuckled to her friend Connor, who nodded as a response.  Sam quickly drank the rest of the rum that was in her rum bottle, "the will be happy," Connor said with a smile. "Aye," Sam said as she sat on a rock. She looked up at the pirate ship her and her crew just finally finished, then she tightly gripped the dark brown pirate hat that the first pirate she ever met gave her. "Better get back to our homes before it gets too late, we have to be up early tomorrow!" Sam chuckled as she headed up to the village. "Aye capt'n Sam!" Connor laughed, Sam smiled and waved to her first mate.

Now, the pirate captain Sam was leaning against the ship's railing, which she named "The Bitch" while she was drunk, remembering those memories. She spines on the heal of her boot and looks to the crew and smiles, "and a bottle of rum..." Sam quietly sang to herself as she walked over to her crew.
