Help from the Caribbean!

 


Many might not know the story behind this but there is so much behind this message. Let me go from the beginning. Two decades, a there was small girl who was abandoned by her family at the docks. She waited for hours, no one turned up to take her home. The night set in, the moon shun bright in it's apex. The girl shivered in the cold, right then a big ship arrived at the dock from nowhere. The girl was taken by surprise, but she showed no interest. She did not want to think about anything, so she fell asleep shivering in the cold. In the morning, when the little girl woke up, it was very sunny right above her head and she felt as though she was floating in water. And yes, she in the ship which she saw the previous night. She tried to run, but she was held captive by the people on board. The girl screamed her guts out, but no one paid attention to her. Sooner she realized the people who held her captive were not ordinary people, but pirates of the sea. It's usually said that the pirates know when a child is abandoned so they do not leave them behind. They take the child along with them so the children too can become one among them, like an army against the normal beings. But the care given by those pirates were more than enough for an abandoned child to grow up. 
The war they were getting prepared for, was against those humans who abandoned those children and those stood by them and watched everything happen. The pirates I mention are not those who come in movies with hands blown-up, with an eye patch, but with loving souls who looked out for people like the small girl and those like her. In the same ship as this little girl, there was a small boy as well. He was not abandoned, but was born in the ship where his parents met. He always disliked the ship and it's cause, so he decided to set fire to the ship. He put up a show as if he was a part of the cause, when we were floating across the Caribbean, he found a way to slip an emergency 'help!' note into a glass and tried to toss it into the ocean. The little girl, grateful for giving her a home, she tried stopping him, but it was too late for her to stop him from doing such a deed. 
When the bottle was tossed into the ocean, the girl tossed herself too. She was rescued, but she was not able to stop the boy from doing so. She revealed what the boy had done, but the pirates had bigger plan for him. So, they let him go and let the emergency note just float away. The pirates did not want to wage a war, but to teach the beings a lesson and value of a life. They sailed for miles. They found a good and suitable land in a few years. We also found the glass with the 'help!' emergency written and realized that it was what the boy has tossed it into the ocean. Everyone on deck had grown older, and it was time for the younger pirates to take charge, and the girl along with the boy were the captains for the great Caribbean ship which sailed mighty as a valiant soldier. You must be wondering how the fable is well known by me, I am the very girl who was abandoned, fought for her people, became the captain of The Caribbean, and the one narrating my life experience. And the glass bottle is a treasure from the person who meant well to me. 
The emergency note was only because he felt left out among the chaos we had created. It was a temporary thing he felt, but was sorry about it too. Now, there is no plan for being against the normalcies but peace prevails among the communities as everyone had their reasons for doing what they actually did. 
Caribbean Sails Always and Forever.
