Hannah Sawyer
Hannah Sawyer's father ran a company that was well known in England and Scotland. Sawyer squid and co. Famous for its squid rings and it's hard workers.

Frank sawyer had a wife Ada and two daughters. Mary and Hannah. Mary was a prim and proper girl who was very lady like. She acted a lot older than what she actually was. Mary was 14 and had a love for animals and fashion. She loved to help Ada around the house and design her own dresses. One day she wished to run her own dress company. Ada was a very private woman. She was however very caring and had brought up the girls as best she could. She was all for family life and was more comfortable inside than outside in the nature. She loved to bake and was reluctant to step out of the 'lady line' of fashion and house work. Frank sawyer was not so much a family man. He loved his two daughters but had longed for a son. His favorite was Hannah because she wasn't as girly as Mary. He would tell Hannah tales of the sea. The Flying Dutchman, Atlantis, Davy Jones, titanic and lots more. His favorite that he would tell Hannah everyday on the boat was "if you commit a crime. You owe Davy Jones your soul" Hannah loved that tale as well. Frank loved his family but suffered from extreme anger management and schizophrenia. Although he was on medication, episodes weren't uncommon. Usually he was guilty after his actions and made it up to everyone. Franks company was ahead of its time. They used expensive boats and big nets to catch squid. They also were in possession of the finest harpoons. Hannah was a more of a tomboy girl. She didn't like the dresses and she was all for the sea. Instead of having her hair down and styled up it was always in a pony tail or fishtail braid. Her eyes were a green to match her fathers and her hair was a dark brown. Hannah loved going out on the boat with her father wielding a metal harpoon and stabbing squid as they were thrown on board. Frank wouldn't let her fire them so she held one like a loose spear and just stabbed the tentacled beasts as they were brought on board. It was usually just her and Frank. Hannah enjoyed the time she spent on the boat with her father. She didn't mind getting up at six every morning to go to work with him. Hannah would wake up and be in full uniform in a matter of minutes. The uniform was a black, short sleeved business shirt with a light blue tie and for girls it was leggings and boys it was Trousers. Girls also could wear a pencil skirt if they wished. It was also black canvas high topped shoes  or no shoes if they were working in the water a lot with nets. The uniform was smart but recognised.

It was a calm Sunday evening and Hannah had brought back a squid carcass for her father to start drying the tentacles for dried food in the winter to sell on the local market. She chased Mary around the garden who of course screamed. At dinner that night the news was broken that Ada had found someone who wanted to take Hannah on at a different job in a mill so she would no longer be working on the squid boat. "NO" Hannah shouted "YES" Ada screamed back "im not working in a mill serving people food and sewing clothes" "You will do as your told young lady and that's FINAL" frank screamed. The collie dog ran through to the other room. Ada dropped her fork and Mary sat quietly. "You heard your mother. No more squid boats. Today was your final day. Tomorrow your going for this interview" frank declared. Frank was also very determined to get Hannah working away from home Because of the boy from down the road. Jay Mitchel to Hannah. At first, Jay hated Hannah Because she had a lot of money and he was very jealous but it soon turned to him how nice she was and that got them talking. They had known each other for a couple of years and became close after they were put into the same English and history classes. It was obvious there were some romantic feelings but because jay was from a poorer family Hannah tried her hardest not to let her emotions come through as she knew her parents would never approve, however her dad had caught her walking home with Jay. They had their arms linked and Frank was not happy about it at all. From then on Hannah and Jay were kept away from each other at all costs. Jay had jet black hair with blue eyes. His face was decorated with freckles and his skin tone was quite pale. Jay was quite a bit bigger than Hannah and a lot stronger. He wasn't the skinniest and had some problems when he got into fights and ended up getting into trouble. But Hannah was excited by this violent and protective side of Jay. He was quite tattooed. He was 18 and with Hannah being 16 it made Frank hate the friendship even more. Even though Hannah was turning 17 soon it annoyed him. Jay was very violent in fact. He had pinned Hannah to the wall once or twice in their arguments but Hannah didn't seem to mind. It was like some kind of attraction she was longing for.

Hannah lay in bed that night staring at the ceiling. Oh no. Tonight wasn't the last night. She was going tomorrow on that boat. She also wasn't going away down the country No way. Why were her parents stuck up and unwilling to let her keep working on the boat?

Hannah woke up 15 minutes earlier than usual time that's he would so she had a chance to hide on the boat. She got into uniform. A black business shirt, blue tie, leggings and canvas shoes. She ran out onto the boat and hid in the box where harpoon kits and hooks were kept. Last day? Pfff as if.

Frank was prepared To go out to sea. Yes. It would be lonely without his companion but he was still very angry with his daughters attitude. So angry that he had broken a wall on his way down. The boat was halfway out to see when Hannah got out the box. She sat on the stern railing and looked back. This was her last day of freedom before ending off like the other snobs in these fashion mills. She knew her parents only wanted her away from Jay. It was just because her father was old fashioned. So he had some of it she didn't hear her enraged father come up behind her.

Frank smacked his daughter harder than he meant to when she fell off the railing and into the water by the propellers. His expression changed as the water went red by the stern and Hannah didn't surface. At first, he thought it was a silly joke to get him into the water. But after two minutes it seemed like she wasn't fooling around. Frank stopped the boat and threw the anchor over the side. He jumped in and spent 2 hours searching. But there was no sign of Hannah. The only thing left on the boat was the cockle shell necklace she was wearing.

Frank broke the news to a distraught Ada and heartbroken Mary. He spent the night drinking and crying. He was mortified with guilt. If his anger outburst had just stopped Hannah would still be sitting across from him. It bothered him that they didn't have a body to bury either.

2 months had passed and Frank was a bad state. He drank a lot and the boat hadn't been out since the day Hannah was killed. The only income they had was from the other boats in his company that were going out. Mary had been sent to take Hannah's job in the fashion mill, Ada was living with her mother and Frank was in the house alone. He was dozing off when something ran past the window. "What the hell?" He said out loud to himself. He opened the window "Whoever is out there go away. We're closed" He then heard footsteps up the stairs. They had gotten in. "Come out you bastard" he cursed grabbing a harpoon as he went upstairs. He turned into the bathroom when he saw his daughter standing there. Not Mary, Hannah. She had a huge gash on her forehead from what he guessed was the propeller of the boat. Her eyes were sunken in and rimmed in red. She was cut in places and her hands were very webbed. He looked and saw the palm was covered in suction cups. She swiped her shell necklace off the side and put it back on. She was still in the clothes she had on the day she died and her hair was in a fishtail braid. It had a blue rose pinned into the top of it and her fringe covered one of her dead eyes. Blood was slightly seeping out of one and her lips were a dark blue. Her eyes also had blue and black eye makeup that she had on the day she died. It had ran down her cheeks and looked a right mess "Hannah. I'm so so sorry. If you knew what I felt like. I'm very truly sorry" Hannah just stared. She didn't make a sound. "You know. To make it up to you, why don't we go out on the boat and do what we used to. Go catch the monsters of the sea. It'll be like the good ol days" by good ol days do you mean before you killed me"

Frank stopped talking and asked why she came back. Hannah just shrugged and looked to the floor. Frank stood back. He turned as the landing clock chimed 12am. He turned back to get smacked in the face with a harpoon. It was Hannah's. Everything faded to black.

When Frank awake he could hear water sloping up at the side of a boat. He saw it was his squid boat. He was sat in a chair and Hannah was standing on the side. "Do you know how painful it was to have a propeller blade jam through my head and then feel my lungs fill with water "she spoke in no more than a whisper "Darling. I tried to find you and pull you out. But I couldn't" "Oh I know you couldn't find me. I hid from you and died in peace in a sea cave" she spoke louder Frank stopped talking as his daughter pushed him so he was hanging over the railing. She turned him to face her. Frank looked deep into her sunken eyes. She smiled and spoke "You owe Davey Jones your soul" and threw him into the sea. Frank saw the boat driving off into nowhere...
