Well hi. lets see, i like to write, a lot. i have dozens notebooks filled with stories. so i'll let me know what you think of this one, and let me know if you want more. Thanks :)

"I'm telling you i don't know!" i yell desprately at the doctor.

"you have to be kidding. you expect me to believe that. something, anything about how you got here." he yells back at me. Calmer now. "anything at all. Our sailors found a wrecked ship a week ago. you were on it. We need you to tell us anything you can."

I look down. i've been having nightmares about this. "I'll tell you everything i know, if you take me to the wreckage." he nods and helps me out of bed. He practically carries me to the ship: A pile of broken wood and debries.  there's a bloody shirt on one of the planks. When I pick it up memories flood my vision. I fall down crying.

We were in love. Danny, i think that was his name. i remember him running across the deck that day. In that very shirt."Hey Charlotte ,some on your going to miss Leo, he's going to fire one of the cannins!" Danny, a tall muscular man, with bleach blonde hair runs under the crow's nest carrrying a fuse. I laugh "Not without me he we won't!" Charlotte, a medium sized girl with carmel hair, that was me. I grab a rope and jump out of the crows nest. He catches me and we kiss. Magical, the only word that fits how i feal around him. He sets me down and we race eachother below.

We were sailing in the red sea, transporting spices and other things. We had set sail a few days before, ignoring the warnings from oir town elder. The skies looked fine, that was good enough for us.

We never had a cannon before, everone came below to watch. It was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. Even dad was impressed, and he was against getting it in the first place. We all had a feast that night, Mom, Dad the captain, my two brothers, Danny and his family, Leo the guard, and Simon the mapmaker. We laughed and ate untill sunset. We were happy, thats all that mattered.

A huge storm hit that night, it almost came outa nowhere. the waves were huge, it felt like we were in a hurricane, the winds were so strong. We tied the sails, and ran below deck. I was so scared, Danny held me and told me everything would be ok, but it looked really bad. He held my hand the whole time, untill we herd a large creek. He immedietely got up to check what it was. The ship was being torn apart, the supports were failing. I ran up to help him, he sounded so scared, i wanted to comfort him now. When i got up he was pulling on a rope conected to the mast, it was breaking.I ran to his side and pulled. It worked... sort of. instead of falling tward the wheel, it fell on us.

Danny tackled me onto the ground, I screamed. The mast came down on top of us. I remember his heavy breathing, as we crawled out, and how dizzy i felt. Danny was bleading, really badly.

I remember holding him, crying. Him saying he'd be ok, that we'd get out of this together. I rember watching the giant wave come hurtleing twards the ship. It breaking under our feet. The freezing, salty water. I remember grabing something, yelling his name, then... nothing.

I woke up in a cabin, bandages all over me. A doctor asking me questions i couldn't anwser.
