3. Victorian pirates
Princess Elsbeth Dorothy Alberton. That is me. Daughter of the Queen of England. 7th in line to the throne, Brown, wavy hair, brown eyes. Basic girl, besides the whole being a princess business. I was not always one. I was not always Elsbeth.
Exactly 2709 days ago, Princess Elsbeth died. In her sleep, do not worry, there was no pain. But you see, they didn't want to tell their kingdom that the princess had died, so they did what they always do, they got someone who looks like her, and that was me.
My name is Adeline. My mother is called Marie, and I do not know my Father, he left when I was young. I am from France, so they had to teach me English on he way, the boat folk.
I remember I was at the market. I wonder if she misses me, my mother. I wonder if they told her anything.
Anyway, I was at the market, I had a few books and a few apples, and was on my way to buy some bread, when a man dressed in a white shirt and tight trousers, a weird hat, boots and a lot of feathers, he came over to me.
"A'ight miss. Come wi me." He said, grabbing my and pulling me along.
"If ya wan' ya life, ya won't scream ma'am" He said, and I was suddenly aware of a metal rod against my back. A sword.
He couldn't have been much older that me, he had grey eyes and black hair. He was beautiful.
After a while, we came to a boat.
"Ge' on" He said.
I understood English, but I could not speak it.
---------3 hours later--------
"What's ya name then?" The man asked.
"Mon nom est Adeline, quelle est la vôtre?" I asked
"What? Right, Adeline was the fing that sounded like a name t' me! 'Ello Adeline, I'm Captain William Vain, and this-" He said, pointing to the boats floor.
"This' be the White Pearl!" He said with a slight smile.
"He-Hello William-" I said.
"So ya do speak English then?"
"No-not much." I said.
"We'll fix that for ya." He said, and started teaching me English.
------------4 Days later-----------
"Do ya speech then matey." He said, he'd taught me a speech to say as soon as we got to England.
"H-Hello people of L-London, I am Princess Elsbeth, I would like to A-a-apo-apologies for my ab-absence for the past few weeks. Unfortunately I fell ill, But here I am. Healthy as ever. Thank you!" I said.
"Well done! Ya good at a posh accent." He said getting closer.
"thank you, you're very pretty." I said.
"Wha'?" He said.
"I said you're very pretty"
"You're quite pretty yourself." He said, bring me closer. He pulled me in and kisses me passionately.
It was amazing. I've never felt anything like it. There as a sudden jolt in the boat.
"JOHNATHAN! YOU BETTE' HAVE A GOOD REASON!" He shouted and went upstairs. I followed, wanting to know what made him a captain.
"Wew', we is nearly there sir, but we has a snitch sir." Said Johnathan.
"Who? WHO IS IT?" He said with pure anger in his voice.
A man stepped forward. the next half an hour was horrid. William cut him, beat him, made him mop up his own blood, then walked him off the plank. It was the worst thing ever. But I loved him.
After all these years, I still love him, I wonder what he's doing. I hear many stories of pirates, but honestly, I know the truth, Pirates are sweet and kind, but believe in there morals, and hate people disobeying them. I wonder if I'll see him again, I want to, but I know it is highly unlikely.
