The Sharkhayes Trilogy: The Sharkhayes Staff

Chapter 1: The refugees

Nick was put in charge of a group of Spanish refugees after the British Port Royale raid. He only noticed Sam Yellowfoote. She was all he thought about. Then came that fateful day. The English raided the refugee camp, he had a choice to save all the refugees, but one. Sam was still in her tent. He made his choice.

"No one left behind." Nick said.

He ran toward the tent, and woke Sam up.

"SAM! The English!" he yelled.

Sam woke up.

"Ni-" She started.

"No time! Go catch up with the other refugees, if I don't make it, you are in charge of the Spanish Fire Armada." He said.

With that, he ra off to his tent. He looked around frantically for his family's most cherished possession. The Sharkhayes Staff. He grabbed the Staff and charged the English. Sam turned back to see Nick get stabbed by a bayonet.

Actually, it looks like I'm gonna have to make this a series. :)
