Princess Abigail gazed out over the ocean. She was aboard the ship with her father and crew heading to a neighboring kingdom where she was to wed the prince there. The two kings felt it a good match to keep peace between the kingdoms and to insure they each had an ally they could turn to in the case of war.
Princess Abigail wore an elegant full light pink dress and a tiara on her head. Abigail barely stood 5 feet and weighed a mere 100 pounds. She'd just turned 16 as it was customary to wed even earlier than that. Her black hair cascaded down her back as her green eyes watched a pair of dolphins swimming beside the ship. She really wasn't ready to be married yet, but knew that her father had her best interests at heart. He was making sure she'd be taken care of as well and that there would be peace between the kingdoms.
Suddenly there came a cry from the crow's nest. "PIRATES! Starboard side!" Abigail ran to the other side of the ship and stared at the massive ship approaching quickly with the jolly rogers skull and crossbones flag flying. A crewman quickly ushered her to her room and told her to stay there.
She heard the cannons and the clashing of swords above and she paced in her room not knowing what was going on. And then...there was silence. Abigail's heart pounded in her chest and she was terrified. She grabbed a sword from the wall and held it shaking in her hands, not even holding it correctly, she stared at the door.
