• One cruise ship, one ticket, one life, no way out.

    When you step aboard cruise ship 328 prepare to be scared.

    "Ohhhhh it's a WONDERFUL day! blaugh " said Riley Smith stepping aboard the new cruise ship. It was summer vacation and the 14 year old girls had to get away for 3 weeks.
    "Ma'am, I'll need to check your bags." said the captain. He was wearing a large red hat and had no resemblence of a captain, but all the same the girls needed to get away.
    "She's clear." said the captain pushing Riley out of the way.
    Next walked in Morgan Brookes. She had a reputation and she made sure everyone knew. "Your clear." the captain said and pushed her aside.
    Next came in Abby Williams. "Ma'am let me see your bag! What are you hiding?" "Just personal stuff." Abby answered. The captain stared at her and then lost interest. "Your clear." he finsihed.

    Then he led them down a dark hall. "This is our truely exquisite hallway we have here." Then Riley and Morgan tried opening a door. The captain spun around. "DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!" he yelled. "Sorry." said Riley backing down.
    "Where's our room?" demanded Morgan. "This is your room. It was made by the former designer Mr. Pablo DeShanblo." "What happened to him?" asked Morgan. "Ummm, we don't talk about him." answered the capain.
    "Now, the bar room is closed tonight and lights out at 10." "WHAT?!" screamed Morgan. "Light's out at 10." repeated the captain. "WHAT!?" creamed Morgan again. "Light's out at 10." he answered. Abby rolled her eyes. "I know what you said but why!" "Its used for, uh, saftey procusions and we can't, um, discuss these matters in front of our guests, now, enjoy your stay at cruise ship 328." he finsihed.

    Later that night the captain was in his room playing with his stuffed lion Mr. Wuddles. "Oh Mr. Wuddles," he started brushing the lions maine, "Why do we have to meet in secret, if they find out, they'll fire me, from being a captain, my next top dream job instead of being a lion trainer." Then the lights went off. "Oh no!" shrieked the captain, "What is this! I don't like thunder storms." Then, a shadow appeared. The room went dark and cold, the ghost came in and stared at the captain. "Who are you! Get out!" were his last words. A shreik in the night and everything went back except for the puddle of red below the lion Mr. Wuddles.

    The next morning, Morgan came into Rileys room and got her up. "I heard a shriek! Lets go Riley get up!" They ran into the room and found the dead captain. "Oh my gosh!" yelled Morgan. "I can't belive anyone would kill a poor lion!" said Riley. Then Morgan got up. "We have to call Dr. Rodnick."

    Minutes later they came in with the Doctor of the ship. He was british and rather loopy in the head. "Dr. Rodnick, Dr. Rocknick!" yelled Riley. "What?" he said. "Dead! Dead!" she yelled pointing at the captain. "A dead man!!!" gasped Rodnick, "Oh, oh my! this very seriouse very seriouse indeed. Why did you cover his face." asked Rodnick. "We decided to respect the dead." answered Morgan. "Well well thats always what we british say." Then Riley picked up a dart that was stuck in the captian. "DON'T TOUCH THE DART!" yelled Rodnick. Then Riley 'wiped' the poison off on Rodnick. "Don't rub it on me! Blimey you!" Then he looked down at the plush lion. "Who would kill such a creature. Oh a lock of hair! TAKE THIS HAIRBALL TO THE LAB ALL OF YOU!"

    "Ma'am what's your name?" asked Rodnick looking at Morgan. "Well, I'm Morgan Brookes and my friend is Riley Smith." she answered nervously. "Put them on the suspect list! How could they be the first to know!" "WHAT! We were vacationing right across room we could here screams!" Morgan said defending herself. "This dart has been setled for at least 5 hours." "Thats because it was at night time and everyone was supposed to be sleeping. Didn't you hear the curfew?" she asked. "Well, I have no curfew I mean, not in the science lab!"

    "Now, about this captain. How do you bury a man on a ship?" asked Rodnick. "I guess you throw him overboard and let the kraken eat him." "There is no kraken, that is a pirates myth." said Rodnick matter o factly. Morgan rolled her eyes. "Well ladies i must leave now, you will be tryed young ladies, and the Rodnick has spoken!" he said leaving the room.

    An hour later Riley was lounging in the lounge with Morgan and Rodnick. "Aww this is a pretty lounge!" said Riley. "Riley! When are you going to get rid of that STUIPID garaffe thing!" asked Morgan. "Don't call him stuipid!" yelled Riley slapping Morgan. "Whatever." morgan answered slapping back. "Will you two stop fighting!?" asked Rodnick. "NO!" they both yelled slapping Rodnick. "NOOOOOO!" screamed a voice. They looked around and in the corner was a little girl. "What's wrong?" asked Morgan. "NOOOOO! She's here!" screamed the girl. "Who?" "The ghost!" "I told you there were ghosts!" answered Riley. The girl got up and sat on the couch, "She's very angry." "Why?" asked Morgan. "Because she died here." "How?" asked Riley.

    "Well, it all started a dark night when the cruise ship had opened 40 years ago. She was best friends with a man named Benjamin Elliott. Then one night while she was reading Little Woman Ben came in with a knife. Some say he'd gone insane and others say he loved History SO much he wanted to make some of his own. So he killed her." "Who's her?" asked Morgan. "Millie Lewis. And after that night Ben fled the ship and the only wittness was Kevin Rienke who was found dead hung in the bathroom."
