CarmianIt all started when my parents died, because of the extreme cold of the winter in 1913. We were a very poor family, with me as the only child. I’d just turned 18 in July, and had made the decision about going to Australia. The reason of that is because, when I was younger my dad used to talk about his brother, my uncle actually, who lived in Australia. So I had to earn some money, but that weren’t the easiest thing to do. So I had to figure out, what other options there where. But if I could get any money, then where should I find a ship that went to Australia. Not many ships sailed from London to Australia in the winter months. But after a few days I managed to get this job, as a shipmate, on a ship called ‘Mary’. It wasn’t exactly a ship you’d think, could sail to the other side of the world. I wasn’t trying to make friends or anything, so I kept me for myself. And it was going fine for a whole month. One day it was raining, and I were on my way to take the dishes, but I didn’t got that far before, I saw this unbelievable beautiful girl. Her hair was very long, had a very strong red colour and it was a bit curly as well. She was wearing pants, which surprised me, and a shirt who sat close to the body. My first thought was, that I had to talk to that girl! Already the next morning, I saw her again. Actually I think that I saw her every day, for a week or two, before I said anything to her. Suddenly, one day I just went over to her. ,,Hello. I’m Jack Ward.’’ I said and bowed. She did look surprised, but she replied to me anyway. ,,Hi. Carmian Chappell.’’ And we shook hands, just like men do. I couldn’t believe that I actually was talking to her. Rest of the trip, we talked every day. The day the ship finally went to shore, I was panicked. Would I never see her again? Was this just goodbye? Then I went out looking for her. After an hour or more, I finally found her. I looked right at her, and she did look like she was shocked to see me. She said that she was in a hurry and had to go. I grab her hand, so that she would stop. She did. I was now very close to her. I kissed her. It felt like hours just passed me by, still I knew that it only last for about five seconds. Then it just flew out of me; ,,I’ll go with you.’’I’d never been more relieved, when she said that she wouldn’t mind being with me. We then went to this, small village. There was some kind of forest behind of the village. It looked very dry. Not that far away from the village there where a house. It belonged to Carmian. She must have been rich, cause there where all these statues and paintings. At nightfall she said that I could sleep on the couch. That night I couldn’t fall asleep. So I looked around in the house, which was huge. I found this beautiful chest of drawers, and I just couldn’t resist looking what was inside of it. I found a letter, and even although I knew I shouldn’t read it, I did. It said: ‘’Please show up in court in London, England, on the date 4.12.1912. Reasoning: Betrayal, theft and violation of England’s laws. Sent by the Court of England.’’I really didn’t got the time to think, before she tore it out of my hand. She began to yell at me, but all the sudden she stopped. She stood very still, while her eyes where looking terrified. I turned around, to see why she was so upset. But Carmian grabbed my arm, and forced me to run out of the house with her. I don’t got any idea of how long we ran. But when we finally stopped, the sun was rising. I had about a million questions, but I was so tired that I couldn’t even talk. We’re had stop at this big tree. I had to sit down, at least just for some few minutes. But I fell asleep, and when I woke up again, Carmain was nowhere to see. Once more I panicked, and this time really panicked. I didn’t know how long I’ve been asleep, and I could see that someone had been dragged along the earth. I went back to the house, with the hope that she was there. She weren’t. Instead there was a lot of military and the house looked more like a base. After some time, I saw Carmian. She came out of the house, with some man, who just threw her to the ground. The man started kicking her, in her stomach, another man pulled her up and beat her in the head. I wouldn’t just sit here and watch her being beaten to death, so I jumped up, ran over to those men and tried to get them away from Carmian. I never should have done that. Because some other men, came from behind, dragged me away and knocked me unconscious. Now I’m on my way to some military base and from there, I’m being sent to France to fight the war. I don’t know what have happen to Carmian. A lot of questions, I still don’t have any answers to. But as soon as possible, I’m flees away and back to Australia to find her.
