The Glorious Dawn floated tranquily shrouded in the pre-dawn darkness. Morning Glory stood silent on the bow of her ship. She smiled thinking of the victory they had won the day before and was proud of her crew.
The sun crept over the horizon bringing with it the winds that would carry then through the waters. The gail tossed her ebony curls and she turned to face her first mate. "Wake the crew ... Today is going to be interesting." She flashed a grin and made her way to the helm.

" Rachel! were gonna be late if you dont get up." he said. he smiled as he heard her goggily get up.
" alright alright.." she said.

It wasn't long before the Glorious Dawn was on her way with Morning Glory at the helm. Each one of her crew was doing the task assigned to them and everything was running smoothly. She turned to check the map she had pegged to a small table.
A cry went out and she was pulled from her contemplation. "What is is?" She asked her first mate. "Man overboard ... they want to know if you want them brought abord." Morning Glory turned her attention back to the map. "Yes ... have them brought abord."

Many hours later both Evan and Rachel were driving home from school. Evan looked like he would fall asleep any moment. " do you have football practice today?" Rachel asked.
her brother sighed in relief. " nope coach gave us the day off since we had a game yesterday."
Rachel smile. " nice sooo will you drive me to the library real quick so i can pick up a book for history?" she smiled. her brother smiled and rubbed her head. " you bookworm sure sis." she smiled at the affectionate name.
in a few moments they were in the history section at the library. Rachel was looking up and down for a certin book. " what are you looking for rach?" he asked.
she turned to him. " shhh..." she said. " oh here it is." she whispered. " okay here it is. Rachel opened it and looked at it and then handed it to evan. "look at this picture." she said. the picture was a woman standing bravely on her ship durring a battle, her hair blowing in the wind. Evan smiled. " she's a babe." Rachel laughed and then

BAM
they found themselves in the middle of an ocean.

A commotion on the deck brought her head up again and she frowned sligtly. "Take the helm." Morning Glory said before taking the stares to the lower deck. The crew seemed to freez and turned then parted making a path for their captain. She crossed her arms over her chest watching the two dripping people on the deck. "You ... " She pointed at the youngest member of the crew. "Take the girl to my ready room and get her a dry change of cloths. And you ..." She pointed at a large weathered seaman. "Take him below and put him in the brig till I decide what's to be done with them."

Rachel was scared she had no idea what was happening. " NO!! please i want to stay with my brother..." she said shivering.

Evan gave her a look that hushed her. " ma'am can you tell us where we are?" he said looking at her. he tried to stay as calm as possible but was scared himself.

Rachel was walked away to a room and was given a some pants and a loose type shirt to wear and told to stay there. she shivered still more out of fear than cold. she heard the door lock when the young man that led her here left. she wondered what would become of her brother. she found a small window that you could see out just a little she could see feet and people walking around. she saw her brothers jeans and thats all she could make out.
she sat down on a bed that was in almost the center of the room. <i> that woman looked strangely fimilar</i> she thought.

Glory watched in silence as the boy was lead below deck, then she turned and walked toward her quarters. She unlocked the door and stepped inside. "So ... " She reached out with her mind carefully touching the frightened girl's thoughts and sending reassurance. "You have no reason to be afriad of me. I need to ask a few questions of you. Have you ever heard of Michael angelo's treasure?"

_________________

Rachel was staring out the window when the woman came in. she gasped and jumped off the bed onto the floor. Rachel stood there not knowing if she should talk or not. the it dawned on her....the woman in the picture of the book her and Evan were reading until they found themselves drentched in water...how did this happen...Rachel snapped back to what the woman had asked when the woman took a step forward. " uh...yes i have i learned about it in history cla...." she shut her mouth and looked at the floor. she was still trembling despite the kind words saying she didnt have to fear the person in front of her.

Evan tried asking the man who was leading him down to the brig where they were. but he got no answer. the man less than nicely pushed him into the cell and grunted, then walked away. Evan thought about his sister and prayed to God that she would be okay.

Morning Glory deftly searched the girl's mind and satified that she didn't know the actual wherabouts of the treasure pulled away. She walked over to a small vanity and sat dwon picking up a silver handled brush. "So you have heard of the treasure... do you know where it is?" She asked just to be sure. She would go down and check on the girl's brother when she was done here.

Rachel tried to think back but couldnt remember....if she had her notes with her she could be able to tell her but that seemed a little out the question now. " no ma'am..." she said taking a step away from her. " please...where's my brother.." she asked before the woman could say anything.

Morning Glory brushed her midnight hair out and turned to face the girl. "He's below deck in the brig. Don't worry I won't hurt him ... much. You're free to roam the ship, but don't touch anything and don't get in the way of my men. I have a feeling your brother will be joining you shortly." She stood and walked from the room leaving the doors open.

_________________

" much?" she asked as the woman walked out of the room. but she was out of earshot before she knew it. she wondered what the woman's name was. she also wondered how she could get down to the brig.
Rachel didnt leave the room yet she was a little nervous. she sat in the door way and watched the men do their jobs. she noticed right away that her and the woman who seemed to be the captain were the only females aboard. she noticed a few other oddites but it wasnt anything to be too mindful of.
Rachel did see the boy that brought her too this room. he seemed about her age. he didnt seem to be doing anything.

Evan sat in the dark cell he then saw a light open up and then someone walking through. " who's there?" he asked standing up.

"My name is Morning Glory ... I am the captain of this ship. I have some questions to ask you, how you answer will decide what I am going to do with you." Glory reached out with her mind making contact with the boys mind. "Do you know of Michael Angelo's treasure?"

_________________

Evan tried to seem calm but his heart was racing. he watched the woman whom called herself morning glory. she looked like.....the book! he thought to himself. he snapped back to the real world...or what he thought was the real world and listened to her question. " Michael Angelo.....no i learned about it a while ago but i do not remember a thing..." he said honestly.

She smiled as his thoughts confirmed his reply. "Very well ... " She turned to the man that had locked him in the brig. "I'm satified ... let him out and get him some dry cloths." She turned back to Evan. "You're sister is worried about you, you should hurry. Besides I believe I have found a use for you." She turned on her heal and made her way to the deck humming to herself and smileing.

_________________

<i> a use for me? does she think she's the queen of sheba or something?</i> he thought to himself defenently(sp) not knowing she was telepathic. he thanked the burly man who let him out of the cell and then handed him the clothes.
the sailor walked back up deck.
Evan put on the clothes as fast as he could and then left his wet clothes in the cell not knowing what else to do with them.
he slowly took the stairs up to the deck and sheilded his eyes as the blinding sun poured onto him. once his eyes ajusted he found his sister.

"Rachel are you okay?" he asked seeing she had changed as well.
Rachel nodded and then hugged her brother. " yeah are you alright?"
he nodded.
"how do yo-" they both said at the same time.
Rachel was the first to talk. " the only thing i can think of is the book...the woman who seems to be the captain of this ship looks exsactly like the one in the picture ,in the book we were reading before we found ourselfs drentched in water."
Evan rubbed the bridge of his nose. " thats impossible rach...that cant be it." he said sighing.
" okay fine, whats your idea?"
Evan shurgged. " i dont have one."
" okay then...lets accept the fact that, my idea is what happend and we need to figure out how to get home."
Evan was a little hesitent(sp). " why dont we check this out a little? come on it might be fun."
Rachel didnt say anything else she was scared but she didnt want to admit it.
Evan sat next to her and watched the sailors do their jobs.
