The Quest For A New Life

Chapter 5

Chapter 5: The Storm

Ben and I were hanging out in the dining room having dinner when it starts thundering bad. I got scared. The storm was getting worse. The captain told us to remain in our rooms so Ben came to mine. He talked a lot about his sister, but not his mother. I did not ask him about her but decide to wait until he brought her up. I believe Ben has issues with his mother like I do.

There were no lights on the ship. I was afraid of the dark but was okay because Ben was with me. Ben was telling me stories about his sister Queen Cindy and Queen Jane. I enjoy the stories of the queens. The queens are being forced to marry men they did not love. I am glad I am not a queen. The high winds caused the ship to start shaking.

Ben had his arms wrapped around me. We started kissing, then made love which calmed me down. I found that I was falling in love with Ben. I knew my father was going to be happy for me. I try not to think about my mom or sister because I know they are not going to be happy. "What are you thinking about?" Ben asks. "I was thinking about you. I know this is too soon to say, but I love you," I told Ben. "I love you too Pam. Will you marry me?" Ben asks me. "Yes, I will," I answer. I knew it was too soon to get married and we did not know each other for too long. I did love Ben.

Emma

Emma was walking around trying to find her room. She could not find her way around because it was dark. Emma went into a room and she saw someone. "Who is it?" Emma asks. "It is Randy Bailey," Randy answers. "What are you doing here?" Emma asks. "I got lost. This ship is big and with the lights off it is even harder to find your way around. What is your name?" Randy asks. "My name is Emma Turner," Emma lies. Emma hates lying, but she did not want anyone to know she was a princess.

"Where are you from?" Randy asks. "I am from Scotland. Where are you from?" Emma asks. "I am from New York," Randy replied. "I always wanted to go to New York," Emma replied. "You never been to New York?" Randy asks. "No, this is my first time traveling anywhere," Emma replied. "I travel a lot. I have been to England, Scotland, and Paris," Randy replied. "What do you do?" Emma asks. "I am a criminal lawyer. I used to be in the army and that is how I got to travel a lot," Randy replied. Emma calms down and enjoys talking to Randy.

King Victor

King Victor was angry that his sister Princess Emma ran away. She has been promised to marry Prince Henry. The guards came into the castle. "Have you found my sister?!" King Victor asks. "No, we have not your highness," The guard replied. "What are you doing here?!" King Victor growled. The guards waste no time in leaving. King Victor's wife Queen Celine came walking in. "Husband, I am pregnant," Queen Celine said happily.
