The sound of the water slashing up against the hull of "The Siren's Song" was all I could hear. Well, that and the familiar songs and sounds of laughter from my crew bustling around on deck. The sun was covered by puffy clouds, keeping,the heat to a bearable level, instead of a sweltering heat. This is my life, sailing the seas, exploring and being free to do as I please.
" Hey Cap'tn! We gotta situation-", Eric, my first mate, yells up to me. I sigh, climbing down the ladder and walking over to him.
" Well? What's the situation?"
"Uhh, well, there's a stowaway sir-"
Shocked I looked at him, then to where he was pointing to the rest of the crew surrounding a small girl.
Whistling to get their attention, I yell at them to back up and give her some room, the poor girl looked terrified.
" Who are you?", I ask softly, walking over to her, but backing up when she curls in on herself.  That's when I realize how torn and dirty she and her clothes are. I take off my shirt and hold it out to her," Here, put this on until we can find you something, now can you tell me your name?"
" ..no.."
" Why not?"
" .. I can't remember it.."
My eyes widen a bit, showing my slight shock, then return to normal.
" Well, my name is Sam, I'm the captain of this ship, how did you get on board?"
" ...snuck on sir, but I had too! I had to get away from them, they hurt me.. ", she explains, trailing off on the verge of tears.
I walk over to Eric, and tell him to find her some food and clothes. The last time we docked anywhere was about six days ago, that was when she jumped on.. I'm surprised she survived this long..
I snap out of my thoughts as Eric walks up to me, holding a bowl of food and a bundle of fabric, which I quickly assume is clothes. She jumps up suddenly and lunges at Eric, the crew pulling their weapons out just as fast. " STOP!"
Every one freezes, staring at me.
" Are you done being stupid? She was going going for the food-", I say, pointing at the girl stuffing her face.
The crew puts their weapons away, looking like kicked animals, I just shake my head, and walk over to her, putting my hand on her head. She looks up at me, confused.
" u-uh?", she mumbles out confused.
" Welcome to The Siren's Song brat, you're part of my crew now-"
