The Terrible Demise of Tortuga.

Prologue 2. (First prologue is in achatina)

Aaron Buckleshoot was a citizen who lived in Tortuga. His wife had died giving birth to their last child Joe. He had a daughter named Amara who married a baker named Peter and they had two children. Justin and Elizabeth. His son Joe married a woman named Amanda. They had two children, Aaron Jr. and Olivia. Their whole family lived close to the docks in a boat house. (Don’t ask) there wasn’t a lot of room in the city so they decided to live together. Even though it was crowded it was cozy and homey. Their house was connected to the city by a bridge.

Aaron woke up one cloudy morning. His alarm clock was ringing noisily. He heard Joe groaning from the other room. Aaron got up every morning to feed the animals he took care of. Aaron was the animal caretaker and vet in the city. Although most the animals he took care of he owned. Sitting at the edge of his bed was his hound Troy. Troy was a rare breed that was a cross between a German shepherd and a wolf. “Morning Troy.” Aaron said sleepily. Troy barked. Aaron nodded. “I know, I know, morning chores. Quickly he got up and change into work clothes. Then he headed into the animal’s room. Waiting to help him was Elizabeth and his other hound Gabriella(yes, I named the hounds after Troy and Gabriella in high School Musical) Elizabeth was still in her nightgown and was clutching a teddy squirrel to her chest. Aaron smiled. “Morning Elizabeth.” He said to the little girl. “GOOD morning Grandpa.” Elizabeth said sweetly. “I see you brought Steve(he motioned to the teddy squirrel),you ready to start feeding?” He asked. Elizabeth nodded eagerly. First they fed Ol’ Betsy the sarco bc she could get very hangry in the mornings if not fed. Then they fed Archie the archaeopteryx, then Scoundrel the pegomastax, Diana the shinehorn, Jax the araneo, Carmen the titanboa and finally last but not least their family of jerboas.

“Run along now Elizabeth you need to wash up for breakfast.” Aaron told her. She ran off. After he fed Troy and Gabriella he washed up and headed to the dining room/kitchen/living room. (Hey I said the houses in the city where small.)There his family sat. Aaron sat down at the head of the table then bowed his head and prayed: “Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this day and for our family and thank you for providing for us. Amen.” He prayed. “Amen.” They all said. Then they began to eat their pancakes, bacon, and eggs. “Lizebeth, Lizebeth, can i please have da syrup?” Justin asked. (Justin was only four and he adored his big sister. He couldn’t pronounce her name though so her just said “Lizebeth”. They were the best of friends.) Elizabeth passed the syrup to him. “Here you go Justin.” She said. “Lizebeth, Lizebeth can you please pour the syrup?” He asked. Elizabeth obliged. “Tank you.” He said. Elizabeth smiled. “So dad, did you know there’s a new family coming here?” Amara asked Aaron. Aaron looked up curiously. “No.” He said. “Yes, there is. It’s a family of…seven actually. The peacekeepers have told everyone to not tell them about the night protocols (every night in the city you had to stay in your houses after 8:00 pm and turn out the lights by 9:30 or you could get arrested.) I don’t know why…” Amara said. But Aaron knew why whenever he had first come to the island with his wife a long long time ago nobody had told them the protocols either and they would have gotten arrested if it hadn’t been for Ol’Betsy. The guards were so scared of his creatures that they didn’t mess with them. But Aaron doubted these new people had a sarco. He’d have to warn them secretly. Aaron smiled grimly. “I’ll go visit them.” He said. “Dad…” Joe began. Aaron turned and looked into his son’s white eyes. (Joe had got a disease when he was just a baby and though he was left unharmed from it, it had left him blind.) “Don’t worry Joe, I’ll be okay.” Aaron said.
