A Tale Of Two Identities

It all started on a dark and stormy night when I was sailing with my uncle, the famous Captain Will Hawk. The seas were high and the wind was strong, but with my uncle and I sailing the ship, nothing would be able to sink it. "Captain there be another ship approaching. Looks to be….. It is, tis the British. Uncle, what do you want to do?" I said standing my ground with a telescope in hand. "Lower the sails we can't fight in this weather." He shouted to the crew. "Emerald they are after me, now ye go hide. I promised your father that I wouldn't let you get captured by the British or by Captain Black. Now go find Mr. Smith and hide." My Uncle said. "Aye aye, sir" I said and gave him a hug before I ran off to find Mr. Smith.

As I was looking for Mr. Smith, I had to hide so that I wasn't seen, which I was very good at. I climbed up the ropes on to the mast and jumped down and grabbed onto a rope that was being thrust around by the wind. I landed on the deck and ran down to the bottom of the ship. As I was running I ran right into Mr. Smith. "Mr. Smith we have to hide my uncle is surrendering to the British, all they want is him" I said catching my breath.

"Alright come on me lady I know of a secret hiding spot that was created especially for this kind of situation." Mr. Smith said as I followed him. When we stopped all there was, was the wall of the ship. "Are ye sure this is the right spot?" "Aye me lady just watch." He said as he pulled the lantern and the wall of the ship opened up into a small room. After we walked in I felt the ship come to a sudden stop and that's when Mr. Smith shut the door and latched it shut."Mr. Smith why is my uncle surrendering? I thought a pirate is never supposed to unless it is a grave situation." I asked confused.

"Well, ye see me, lady, when your uncle was younger there was a woman by the name of Angela. She was the best thing that ever had happened to your uncle, he loved her very much. Yet one day exactly like this, the same thing happened and the British came after your uncle. He and Angela came and hid in this very here room. Since he wasn't going to surrender easily the British came on board and searched the ship for ye uncle. The British searched and searched, but alas they couldn't find your uncle until one soldier accidentally hit the lantern and the door opened. Your uncle stood in front of Angela ready to fight to keep her safe, but alas the solider hit your uncle on the head and knocked him out. That's how he got that scar right across his left eye. The solider took Angela and the British kept her as a prisoner instead of your uncle...

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
