 * My Story **
 * Author: Charne Jordaan **
 * Title: **** Captain Tory **


 * It was late at night. The wind was howling through every peep and crack. The mist was beginning to settle over the city. All that was visible was the dim flicker of the city lights. There were no other people around except for Captain Tory and I. He kept looking over his shoulder to make sure no one was coming or watching us. **
 * He then swung his lantern three times and slowly the schooner appeared. From out of no where this magnificent, twelve mass sail boat appeared in the harbour in front of us. Slowly the plank lowered to the side. Captain Tory went onto the boat straight away. I was stunned, as I could not believe what I was seeing. I was afraid as I did not know what to expect. Was this just a dream? I pinched myself three times to make sure I was awake. And yes I was, this was real, but how? **
 * Then Captain Tory turned and told me to follow him and that everything would be all right. I slowly followed him onto the ship. When I reached the top of the plank I was amazed at the size of the ship. It was enormous and there was several lanterns burning on board of the ship. There were thirteen crew members lined up to greet the captain and me. **
 * The first mate told the captain that the ship was ready to sail. I wondered where we were going. Just then I heard a crew member whisper to another mate that we were on our way to **Sandpipers Beach** where we were going to find a lost key. This key would unlock the jail cell where my parents were kept hostage. I wondered how long it would take to get there when I felt movement under my feet. When I looked around me I noticed that while I was lost in my thoughts the crew members had taken up their position on their posts, the sails were all up and we had slowly taken off. We were flying! Wow we were actually flying, this was awesome! **
 * It took us half a day to get to **Sandpipers Beach** . Once we arrived a anchor was dropped from the ships and that slowly lowered us to the water. The plank was lowered onto the beach and we all walked onto the beach. Captain Tory pulled out a map and showed us where we were heading, it looked very far. This was going to take us a day, I sighed with disappointment. Captain Tory noticed the expression on my face and told me not to worry; all is not what it seems. I was puzzled by his remark when I suddenly noticed these big flat rocks flying to us from out of nowhere. The captained smiled and told me that all had to worry about is staying on top of the stone as we each had our own. **
 * Again the captain swung the lantern three times and slowly the rocks started lifting off the ground. I had to jump onto the rock quickly before I was left behind. It was harder then it seemed. I was very unbalance as I had never done this before. I couldn’t even balance myself on a skate board. I decide to rather sit down and hold on tightly to the sides. **
 * Within five minutes we reached this huge tunnel. The stones flied into the tunnel, it was very dark in the tunnel, I could not even see my hand in front of me. The captain clapped his hands three times and all these lanterns lit up to show us the path. We followed the tunnel until we reached this big cage. The bars were very close to each other. Once we got near it I realized that only I could fit through it. Now I know why I had to come along. **
 * The captain told me I only get one chance to grab the key from the middle. I had to count to three, and climb though the bars, I held my breath as the cage was filled with poison gas and reach for the key. I was not to let go of the bars, I had to hold on with one hand and reach with the other hand. Once I took hold of the key I had 5 seconds to get out. I was very scared but all I could think was it was up to me to save my parents. Only I can get the key to unlock their prison door. **
 * So I reached through the bars, held my breath and within three seconds I had the key. Yes, I did it! Suddenly It al went black around me, my throat started getting tight, I could breath! Suddenly everything went black and when I came to, Captain Tory and me was standing in front of this big black door. He told me to put the key in the big lock and turn it three times to my left. Suddenly the door flew open and there were my parents. They had these huge smiles and were very happy to see me. They took my hand and we walked away from Captain Tory. I turned to wave to him but he was gone, just as if I was just dreaming. **
