Shipwrecked:
A Potc Short.
By: C.L. Hartwick.

Pull. Push, pull. Push....
The oars grew heavy in Nara's hands as she rowed even further out into the ocean. Struggling to keep the waves from tossing her out of the tiny rowboat she called a ship.

A ship...

She was trying to reach one, she remembered. But the girl didn't know what quite for. Only that the sun was getting hotter, the waves, rougher. And there was no water to quench her thirst.

Pull. Push. Pull-

A yawn escaped her lips and her eyes drooped . Making Nara feel even more tired than before. A little sleep wouldn't hurt, It'd be okay to get some rest..

A few minutes into dozing and she immediately regretted it. Waking quickly to find water at the bottom of her seat. It was soon disposed of, or the latter of it was and her rowing became more fast and swift. To escape the oncoming storm.

Though alas, such an attempt was useless. As there was no getting out this time.

She gasped as the rowboat was tipped to its side, knocking her over. Along with the waves that crashed against it. Dragging her under.

Struggle brought her back to the surface, only to find a darkened sky and another wave. Taking her to the bottom again.

Lighting and thunder crackled, making her more scared than she already was.

The canoe .....

Her only life safe at the moment, but she couldn't find it. Eyes searched frantically for the boat. Or even a plank of it to cling on.

Prayers were answered, and she swam as best as she could to the nearby board. Clutching it tightly as she hoisted as much of herself as she could onto it. Taking a moment to breathe.

Now there was nothing to do but hope help would come....

What seemed like hours later a soft pillow greeted her head. Making her bolt in surprise as she glanced about a room. A warm room too, and not the cold ocean she was just in.

She tiptoed out of the bed, and opened the door. Finding herself on a ship. A big ship, it seemed, and there were many people on it. Shouting and moving things here and there.

"Well, you're alive."
A voice greeted her, and she glanced up to be met by a woman with a bush of red hair, that hung loosely about her shoulders.

Curiosity filled her and she could stand it no longer. She had to know where she was.

"Where am I?"

Her question was soon answered by the woman. Who held one hand to her hip.

"Yer on The Lady." She replied.

"The Lady?" Came another inquiry, once more from Nara.

"Aye, Captain'd by King Roxanne Sparrow."

Excitement filled the young girl's eyes at the mention of the afore said surname. And she knew that she had to be in the right place now.

"Sparrow?" She spoke quickly, brushing back a strand of her dark hair. "That's my father's name."

"Indeed?" The woman answered back, eyebrow raised in suspicion. "Jack has no children that I know of. He doesn't have a wife for that matter either."

"It's true." Nara argued back, crossing her arms. "My mum said so. An' I share his surname, I don't think I'd have it if he was not." She pouted.

The woman gave a casual wave of her hand, dismissing the topic, for now. "Jack's child or not, the Capt'n will be wanting to see ye. So, follow me."

Silence rose as she followed quietly, walking from behind as they went to a cabin door. Knocking on it to alert their presence.

Permission was giving, and they were allowed in. With the woman going first.

"The mysterious passenger's awake."

"Bring her in." Another voice commanded, a female's too. Though this's one's sounded softer. And less intimidating than her current escort.

"You're the Captain??" Nara hesitantly asked, looking at the second woman. Who sat near a desk, papers pilled around her.

"I am." Came an answer as she turned, facing the young girl. Looking at her expectantly. "Though, now that you know who I am. Perhaps you'd tell us about yourself, and why we found you floating in the ocean."

"I'm Nara Lillian Sparrow." She proudly replied, holding her head up high as she crossed her arms. "And I came to find my family."
