The Sailor and the Queen, Chapter 1, Draft 1

¨Good Morning Basileia aroha!¨ Queen Amanda said opening the gates and walking out, she had long wavy Auburn hair with bright green eyes, she wore a short sleeved red dress with black polka dots and a green trim and green flats.
¨Good Morning your Highness!¨ A Maid said back waving
but as the gates to the rest of the kingdom opened the Queen was astounded by what she saw, her kingdom all blown apart!
¨What happened here?¨ She asked
¨Your Highness, P-P-Pirates!¨ A villager stuttered to her
¨Pirates?¨
¨Yes your Majesty, Pirates¨ Another Villager said
¨Start building up the houses, everyone follow me you can stay in the castle well your houses are being built¨ She said and the villagers started clapping.
¨Thank you so much!¨ She said but as she looked around she saw that in the midst of all of this joy there was a spot of sadness, a woman crying while sitting on the stone wall.
¨My dear, Why are you crying?¨ she asked her sitting next to the woman
¨My-My daughter, my Queen. It is her first birthday and-and the building co-collapsed on top of her¨ The woman said crying more tears than humanly possible.
¨My dear woman, what is your name?¨ The kind queen said putting an arm around her shoulders
¨Abigail , My Queen¨ She said
¨and what was your daughter's name?¨ the Queen asked her
¨T-Tesha, My Queen¨ Abigail said
¨Abigail, your name means happy and your daughters name means survivor. She will be remembered¨ The Queen said.
¨Everyone form a line and we will walk into the palace¨ The Queen said
¨Maddie! Get any clothes you can find to put on these poor people. Joy, Get the cook to cook up a great feast for tonight, tell him it is to feed 200. Casey, get all of the blankets and pillows you can find. Eeva, go to Sir Michaels and tell him to secure the perimeter.¨ Queen Amanda ordered as she marched into the place. The people of the town were shivering even though it was warm summer’s day not of cold though of fear. When they walked into the great hall they saw at least 15 maids lining the great hall with pillows and blankets except for the center it was covered in blankets and massive pillows.
That night the feast was certainly to feed 200, it was massive and everyone was starving they ate so much! The Queen was sitting at the head of the table when suddenly a guard carrying the royal crest (an eagle) on his chest and shield walked up to the table.
¨Your Highness the town has been sukerd and the rest of the fires have been put out¨ Sir Michaels said to her
¨Thank you Sir Michaels, see if you can salvage anything from the houses¨ Queen Amanda said to him.

That night after she had made sure that her people were comfy in the great hall she went to her room to take a breather.
¨Oh Mother, I try so hard but how did I miss the pirate attack?¨ The young queen said talking to the portrait of a queen she has in her room. She looked exactly like her mother, they could have been twins except her mother had blue eyes she had green like her father's. She started taking her jewelry off and accidentally knocked over a bottle of perfume
¨Oh!¨ She said bending down to pick it up, as she did she saw a note that had obviously fallen off the bottom of the bottle it read;
My Dearest Amanda,
If this note has fallen off then I know that there has been another pirate attack. Under the perfume bottle there is a lever, in that secret box there is a map, the map is of where I hid the pirates. I didn’t kill them, I couldn't. Please save our people.
Lots of love, Your Mother Adrian.

She looked inside the box and saw the map.
¨I love you Mum, Thank you for the map, now I have a lead.¨ She said tightening her grip on the map.
