The boatman who i now knew as peirre parked is boat into the harbour  he climbed out and he then helped me out i thanked him clutching my bag and locket we walked together on the  beach and i just stopped for a moment to take in the beauty of the blue ocean and the sun drowning into the sea i said beautiful  very loud and peirre  heard he then said

Peirre-"yes it is very beautiful ma'am  but dont you feel bored looking athe sea its the same colour it always is"

Clarissa-"is it  always the same colour Mr peirre does it never change"

Peirre-" Miss may i ask how old you are  because now without my boat  motor  noise your voice sounds very young"

Clarissa-"Does it Mr peirre please if i tell you my age Dont take  me back  i beg of you"

Peirre-"Ok  i promise  how old are you miss and whats your name"

Clarissa-"my name is clarissa  but please call me clary i was 15 when i boarded the ship that sunk and i only just turned 16 last night"

Peirre-" Young Miss clary why did you board the ship so young  and do you even know what you will  have to deal with on this island"

Clarissa-"I wanted to be free  my whole life i have been kept prisoner in my own home  all because of my curse"

Peirre-"Why where you kept prisoner and what curse Miss clary"

Clarissa -"Mr peirre  i am cursed with a beauty so  enchanting that whomever sees me ends up dying in one way or the other my parents forced me  to dress ugly and do makeup  ugly so i could hide my beauty my whole life i said nothing thinking that it was there love for me but i was wrong"

Peirre-"what do you mean young miss clary"

Clarissa-"i mean i am of royal blood peirre and my parent tried to brain wash me into believing  that i had to obey any man who they chose as a suitor and he could beat me into submission i didnt want that life i wanted to be free  and choose my iwn suitor live my own life the way my aged girls  lived but please Mr Peirre do not  take me back  to that hell hole"

I watched as peirre considered my words and then i saw his eyes glaze over as if  he was haunted by his own bad memories  i touched his arm  abd i saw his tears fall  i asked him  why he was sad  he told me of his sister juliette who was very beautiful  and how his  parents forced her into marriage  to a abusive man and he beat her and raped her all through there marriage.

until one day she could not take it  any more  and she ended her own life but he told me what her last word to him  were that there would other juilettes like her going through hells such as ahe went througg and peirre would be approched by one very young he was to take care of her and that was her last wish before her soul left her body .

I could feel  my own tears  falling as if i was juliette  the memories so  vivid and heart wrenching  the fear so real like i had lived it  i sobbed  and then i heard  a ghostly female voice whispered

Ghostly Female voice  "show your face  to  peirre clarissa and let him take care of you please he need to be emptied of his guilt at her dying"

I mind whispered back  asking

Clarissa-"who are you  and why do you worry for pierre and how is it you know my name "

Ghostly female voice-"Because i have been around you for years  waiting until you come of age  to hear me  i am peirres sister juliette  and the good gods made you  look exactly like i had in life and gave you themiddle name claudia  to fill the void in peirres heart  when he lost me he will protect you and raise you as his own  blood relative please become Juliette Claudia  D'Aboville make his heart beat again"
