The line between Heaven and Earth… Chapter one
Disclaimer: This is not a POTC thing, but I might refer to some of the pirate rules and other Davy Jones things but all in all you will not see Captain Jack or the other loving characters. Sorry, well if you badly want a POTC based story this may soon change I might… still thinking about it… Well again you won’t meet pirates till the second chapter anyways. One more thing this story will switch off between two characters, the first Sophie and then her sister Kassandra. Well the story begins. Please leave comments! The more comments the faster i will update!
As the tide on came in so did a body of a girl no older then 15 drifted upon the island. There was no one there to mourn for the lifeless body, so she just lay there as the vultures came. Above the earth a man sits counting all who is lost and will never return at sea. He sits there welcoming all the dead pirates and whoever just happened to die on a boat. This is the line Sophie is standing in quietly. No, she wasn’t a pirate, but she did die in the sea. As her turn came up the man looked at her and sighed. ‘What a shame so young..’ he must have thought. “Love what might be your name?” He said as nicely as possible. How nice can you be when telling a person they just died? “Sophie, my name is Sophie _____. “Well, Sophie Welcome to Heaven.” Pointing to a door her motioned for her to go through.
The second she stepped through everything changed. Her hair and everything else was clean and she was wearing a pure white gown. The doors lead to a forest type setting. She gasped at the beauty. But she didn’t know where to go so she turned around to go back through the doors but they disappeared. “Heaven? This is more like Hell..” She said out load as she walked through the dense forest. Before long she saw a women picking flowers. But her gown was well black. “Excuse me!!” She yelled and ran toward the women. The old lady looked up. “Oh dear, what a young girl.” She said softly not loud enough for Sophie to hear yet.
“Miss, can you help me I am lost?” Sophie said kindly relived to find other person on this land. “Yes, yes of course here come with me to my house and I will help you.” The old lady smiled and started to walk to the village. It was surprisingly crowded with many people both young and old and several middle aged. “Wow, there are a lot of people here.” “Oh yes deary this is a major port for the dead.” The lady said it so causally as though she had been there so long that she couldn’t remember the real world. “The dead..” Sophie repeated trying not to cry as she remembered her only reason for living her sister. The old lady noticed that she was new probably killed hours before.
“Here is my house please come in and I’ll explain as best as I can, love.” She said going into a small house that was on the outskirts of the town. They have been walking for maybe an hour or more she couldn’t tell anymore. The house was nice and small perfect for an elderly woman. They entered the house, and to the right there was a kitchen, which the lady walked into. “Here sit, my name is Annabel Florence, but please call me Annabel, I died 80 years ago off the coast of Singapore with my ship that was under attack by the company. I ended up here and lived here for 80 years. Well no make that 75 years I was on an other island for some time trying to relax or a couple of years but came back to the city where I belong.” Sophie was shocked she thought that once you died that’s it there was no more happiness, the after life’s was going to be dreary. “So, there are other places to go to?”
“Oh yes! Love many places, everything a heart desires, anything you want you may have everything is free to anyone there is no jail no gallows no anything.” She said smiling as she went to put a teapot on the stove. “What about the people that died on land?” Sophie knew her mother died in her own bed next to her and her sister.
“The land people are on the other side. You can get to them but its easier to just go to the information building which in the middle of the town and they hold records where everyone is and they will take you there.” Annabel said while starting to pour the tea into cups for herself and Sophie. “Are you trying to find someone?”
“Yes, my mother died in the house and I was wondering if she was here?”
“Dear, one more thing, some people don’t want to wonder around this dead place so they put themselves into a sleep and never wake up.”
Sophie looked at the old lady, trying to understand that there is a way to stop living totally.
“Its worth a try to find her, I have so many questions left unanswered.”
“Well that’s one good thing about being dead, you can talk to other dead people and find things out.” She smiled and sipped at her tea.
“Oh dear I forgot!” she got up suddenly and went to the cupboard. “Cookies for the tea!”
Sophie laughed and drank her tea. She wanted to go to the building and find out about her mother.
