[Solomon O]

Chapter 5

Solomon was led by Captain John to the center of town. The more Solomon saw the more he liked it here in Port Royal. His new house was across the dirt road from a busy looking Gunsmith. As Solomon entered his new home he was amazed. This place was nothing like any of the houses they had on his home island, no, it was 100 times better. In the first room of the house there was a table that was littered with papers of importance. There was a picture of Captain John’s ship La Revanche des Brouillards on the wall. Behind the table was a expensive looking couch in front of a fire place. In the corner of the house was a spiral staircase that led to the second floor. When you came up the stairs you walked into room with another table with even more papers on it. There were three doors here; on led to the balcony, another led to the master bedroom, the last led to a empty room with a single table in the corner.

“This will be your room, Solomon, I will get you a bed and more stuff in here as soon as possible” said the captain
“Ok, I got one question though, where do we do our business?” asked Solomon
“What business?” asked the confused Captain
“You know, like the toilet” Stated Solo
“Oh, that will be done outside in a outhouse”

The rest of the day was spent tracking down a spare bed for Solo. That night when Solomon climbed into his comfortable bed, his mind was full of questions, What will happen now that we are in port royal?, Will we ever go out on the ship again?

He woke early that morning; somewhere a cat meowed, Solo looked out his window. The town was lying under a morning fog only the tops of houses punctured the thick mist, the fort – lying on top of the hill was untouched, and the masts from various ships could also be seen. Solomon slowly and quietly crept downstairs to find the captain already awake. “Happy Birthday,” he said. With all the excitement Solo had forgotten today was that special day of the year, he was 13 now.
“Here, I got you this last night” The captain handed Solo a masterly crafted pistol, It had 3 barrels that could shoot 3 times before reloading
“Thank you”
“You’re welcome, Solo”

The next month Solomon spent on the island he enjoyed, the first week he was lonely and had nothing to do but wonder the streets. Until one day he met another kid of the same age named Hector Blastspinner. Hector and Solo made great friends, soon Solo spent nearly everyday with Hector, whether it be fishing or working for money they spent a lot of time together and soon were very good friends. Everything was great until Captain John revealed he was leaving on an important mission to track down and sink 3 pirate ships and also Solomon was not to be coming with him.
