Long Time no see
So much has happened and I'm still exhausted so I won't be able to write very much, but I'll try. We have become stranded on the island that the captain had to stop at! I finally found my journal, it washed ashore with some of my other belongings. well, this was actually the only useful thing, I found some perfume, and all of my hair ribbons, and thankfully, a pen. we have been wandering aimlessly along the beach for days, no food, no water, and no sign of help. there must be a village or something somewhere, but we are yet to find it. Well, this is the most exiting thing that's ever happened to me, but being as hungry as I am, it's hard to enjoy the adventure. Why didn't we grab anything useful when they attacked? I found emily's journal too, I didn't know she wrote in one, but I didn't know that I would be stranded on a haunted island in the middle of nowhere. I found out what that thing that was making noises was. it was one of the many creatures that live on this island. they are the main reason that we are staying close to shore, they can't stand water. some of them attacked our ship and killed the crew. as soon as the ship completely blew up, they lept into the water along with everyone else and just, evaporated. It was the worst thing I have ever seen. I have to go, I thing E found something, more later.

Bored again
I am SO bored, Emily is playing with the Captain's maps and it seems like trying to drive the ship without much success. Right now she is using all of her weight to try and turn the wheel. Monsieur Chatte` told me to go with her because he wants us to stay together, but I have absolutely no interest in navigation of any kind. particularly on a ship. we should be nearing the island very soon, I think around nightfall. now she is actually trying to include me so I better go.

Going Mad
we are getting nearer to the island, i can almost see it now, but there is a very thick fog surrounding the island. For the first time during this trip I have gotten sea-sick, it's quite unpleasant really. Maya is feeling it too, though she doesnt have it as bad. Monsieur Chatte` is staying in his rooms so we have alot more spare time, but I have still been very busy and have almost forgotten to write, I think you are the only thing that has kept me from going mad with boredom. Although i still am a little, Maya is starting to complain, But she has been complaining about everything lately. I wonder if she is keeping a journal, I doubt it since she seems to despise writing so much but there is still a chance. it's time for tea.

Bor-ing
I'm Back, Monsieur Chatte` wanted me to practice greetings for my fellow class-mates and teachers. It was so boring, the most exciting thing that happened was I tripped over the carpet and caught myself. I dont really have much else to write.

Where's Emily?
I heard them again, the screams and the groans. they were even worse today, I'm still shaking. Emily heard them too, I wonder where she is, I havent seen her at all today. This isnt the hugest ship either. I bet she's with the captain. We are getting closer to the island, but still not that close. I have to go, M. Chatte` is calling me.

The Brats
I met them, the brats, the younger one seemed to have a potential for sailing, she seems to love adventure and the sea she'd make a wonderful ship's maid, she'll make it interesting, at least a little longer. The older one, Maya, is a different matter, she is just the opposite, she couldnt get her feet wet if her life depended on it... i'll be glad to be rid of her. The old man is much the same as maya, the perfect innocent by-stander for my little plan. This is going to be easier than i thought.

Noises
Monsieur Chatte` left and i still have alot to write. i met the captain today and he seemed like a really shady fellow, his name is Captain Sneed, he was very hospitible though. it was really strange however that whenever i asked him about the cargo or the island or really anything, he would get very red in the face and say something like, "none of your business" and instantly change the subject. i am more scared however, by the groaning and screaming i heard from below deck! Monsieur Chatte` says its just the wind and the captain gets all tense and says that it's just the crew, nothing to be worried about and leaves it at that. it's quite frightening none the less. i dont see why the crew would scream and groan, i have hardly even seen them, but they dont seem that miserable. i dont believe it's the wind either. sneed seems like he's hiding something and i dont think whatever it is is very nice. well, other than that life on board the nesaurus has been pretty calm, Emily and I have been coming up with alot of games to play to pass the time, i dont really have much else to write so i'll try to write again soon.

Drives Me Crazy
Hello, i'm back, it's been a long time since i last wrote. But the most exciting thing that happened is that Maya gained her sealegs (life on a ship is far more exciting and romantic in stories). I hardly ever even see the crew, they seem to scurry about as though they are afraid of something, it's quite strange, really. I have gained no more enthusiasm for boarding school than when we started off. Maya seems never to stop talking about it, i can hear her now "oh, i cannot wait to arrive, it will be so wonderful to be at the boarding school, but i am afraid that i will be quite out of fashion." It is starting to drive me crazy, the trip is only a month and a half long! there is more to life than being the best dressed at the most fashionable party held by someone who is very high in social standing. She is still my friend, though it seems like spending every moment with her is making me cross. I have to go.

Boarding School
i'm going to try to write in a journal during the voyage. Luckily Monsieur Chatte` doesn't know about it, if he did i would have to be very careful about what i write since he would insist on reading it. i will start at the beginning. my grandmother sent me with Maya to school so that she wont have to keep searching for tutors, the last six quit after they said something along the lines of "she has too much of an eye for adventure and not enough of one for her times tables." at least that's what my last one said. Oh, i do envy Maya sometimes, she is practically perfect in almost every way. Well, at least monsieur chatte` doesn't run and scream away from me. he says one day I could make a wonderful writer, at least he thinks I have a wild imagination. Writing isn't very lady-like, the kind i do, any-way, i am riding the ship nesaurus with maya and Monsieur chatte` to a boarding school for well bred young ladies. We need to stop at some island along the way, it isn't very along the way but oh well , i love the sea so i shouldn't complain. Back to the beginning, my god i do ramble, well, i'll get better. it sounds very mysterious, the island, it's called phobionus or something like that, I wish my friend jacob could have come but he doesn't have to go to school, (lucky Jacob). He taught me to whistle, spit and throw apples, no-one knows though. I have to go now, time for tea.

Starting Off
my father told me to write in this journal while on the ship nesaurus. i guess i'll start at the beginning, my parents sent me to an expensive boarding school far away. my journey will take 1 1/2 months to arrive only because the captain has to stop at some island i don't know the name of to pick up some precious cargo and we have to go way off course to get to it and that will take about 2 weeks. any-way, i'll be there for 3 years THREE YEARS! i cant believe i'll be gone from my family so long, it seems like cruelty. at least i have monsieur chatte` and emily, my school-mate and best friend. i don't want monsieur chatte` (my tutor) to read this and Emily, well, i don't want her to read it either. i have to go, monsieur chatte` is on his way.

The Plan
I shouldn't be doing this, selling miss goody two shoes and the little princess, but the moneys good and i need it. Oh well, what the heck, i don't even know them. my heart has grown soft, snap out of it i'm the captain of the ship nesaurus and i wont let two spoiled brats and that old man get in my way. if all goes as planned the tutor will see enough to watch the little brats being taken away by the islanders so that he'll go back to their parents with the perfect story and i'll come out on top. who knows how old that tutor is but he's obviously too old to do anything but sit and watch my wonderful plan unfold.

Trying to Laugh
I woke up this morning and realized my dog really had been murdered. Life here is supremely miserable. I haven't smiled for more then two years and that was when I saw Cabsuler try to laugh it was so funny I Laughed which really made him laugh. Just thinking about it makes me Smile a little, but no one will see me so I won't count it as a smile. It will just be one of my million of secrets. Where all the other secrets I know will go. Those laugh and smile are both words I almost never use. They're like swearing, but you hear someone swear more then laugh even. Right, back to my dog. She was murdered yesterday, and I really realized it this morning when she didn't bark when Joeflandur (my dogs murderer) slowly walked up the drive on dementated woden crutches. He is so, so, oh I don't know how to put him into words. He is slimy and has only one eye. He wears blackened, burnt clothes over his scrawny body, which is filthy. It at least covers the burns he has. Oh you don't know do you. Joeflandur once fell into a pond of light gasoline. He barely survived. He blamed my dog for pushing him in. My dog didn't do it. He blamed him though and now a year later he had the chance to shoot her when she walked one step onto his property which was when he shot her. Poor Haily. My Dog Haily. There will never be another dog on this island. Never.
