The Story of Captain One Eye... Bill.



It all started one day , when his parents had died... he had nothing, no family, no materials, nothing... except the clothing on his back. He was at school when his parents died. they said his parents had died from small pox, but this was a lie, truthfully, a pirate had come and raided the town, but Bill at the time had no clue of what had happened.

He was saddened, and since his parents had no money to leave him, he was forced to live on the streets, his parents had been living in a rented house at the time, and the noblemen they were renting from had no pity when Bill's parents died.

One day, another pirate ship had come, Bill heard gunfire and cannons, he was too afraid to come out of the alley he was currently living in. but finally when the pirates were retreating, he heard one of them say, "Come on to America! To the new land! Hahahaha."

He realised what he was talking about, for just before his parents died, he was learnign about this America, some people who were poor were moving there, he saw his chance, a chance for a life with food that wasn't garbage,so he ran! As fast as he could he ran for the ship that was just about to leave. It was just about to take off when he jumped, and then landed on the side of the ship, it was a miracle when no one heard as he climbed in below deck.

He saw food and a chance to eat, so he grabbed a bunch of food and hid in the darkest corner of the ship, hoping no one would hear or see him eating the fruit he had taken from the barrels. He stayed in the corner for as longas he could, a week before he was finally caught, he was taking some fruit when he heard the captain," Throw gim in the brig!"

Bill sighed as the captain said this many times, but usually whoever the captian was going to throw in the brig was just thrown overboard and left in the middle of the ocean, but this time the "prisoner" was thrown down and Bill was noticed, the prisoner said,"STOWAWAY! CAP'N STOWAWAY!".

The captain said ,"WHAT!" and jumped down belowdeck after the prisoner, saw and said,"'Well now! Looks like we got ourselves a stowaway! Hehe! THROW EM' BOTH IN THE BRIG!"

As Bill was dragged off to the brig he noticed a small knife on the floor, but he was being held, so the only way was to wiggle out of the pirates arms and onto the floor, and he would just have to hope he would'nt stab himself on the knife.

He jumped out of the arms of the brute currently carrying him and onto the floor where he took the small knife hid it in his pocket as best he could, when all of a sudden he was shifted back into the arms of the brute, and thrown in the brig.
He waited for the pirate to walk away, he got the knife but heard the pirate coming back! So he shoved the knife in his pocket once again, now the second prisoner was coming, he stared at Bill with eyes cold as winter and said,"Stowaway!" as he was dragged off to a further cell.

As the pirate walked away, Bill got the knife out, at first he saw no use for the knife that was actually helpful, but then, he saw a rope attached to a bucket filled with, gunpowder, and bullets, lead bullets to be exact, but as he thought of this, he realised there was no use for getting out of this cell, there was no land he could get off onto.

He sat glumly realising this for a whole month, until finally he heard the captain say,"LAND HO!"

He perked up and realising his chance he started cutting the rope until it snapped, and smashed against the ground, it made just enough sound to make one of the pirates come down, and it was the same one with the pair of keys!

The pirate came over and said,"NOCK IT OFF WITH THE NOISE DOWN HERE." and with that he turned around and walked off, but not in enough time, for Bill had reached out with the knife in his hand and took the keys, he waited for the captain and the rest to get off the ship and plunder whatever town they were closest to, then finally he unlocked his cell and ran up the stairs leading to the deck then ran off the ship, but as he ran off he saw the captain about to kill a man and his wife and child, he looked at his knife and said to himself,"I've never killed anyone."

But he had to, or else they would die, so he mustered up just enough courage and then finally charged straight at the captain, and stabbed him, and the captain fell, dead.

Bill took the captains hat and started running towards other pirates shooing and killing some of the pirates, but as he was going towards one of the pirates, one of the pirates got out his knife and stabbed bill in the eye, he was on the ground bleeding, and the pirate was just about to kill him, when the villagers shooed away the pirate and took Bill in.

The pirates did'nt have enough crew left to sail the ship, so they fled further into the country, the villagers thanked Bill, and gave him the ship, and although he couldn't use the ship for about 5 years (because he was only 13) he started getting more and more crew and finally, after 5 years. he set off, with his crew.
