The Black Spot

The Captain didnt leave his bed for many days. He didn't get up but when He got up he started to drink rum. I must get away from here, Jim, The Captain said. I sailed on Captain Flint's ship.  Flint's men want to find me. They want the sea- chest in my room. I must get away. But The Captain couldn't go anywhere. He was too drank.
I heard a noise outside the inn. It was the noise of someone tapping a stick on the road. The noise came closer and closer. Then I heard a voice calling. Then I heard a voice calling, Will anyone help me? It was a beggar and He was blind. I helped to the beggar and I held out my hand to him and he took hold of it. But the blind man suddenly pulled me towards him and twister my arm.
Now, boy, take me to the Captain or I'll break your arm, said the beggar. I cried out. I was very frightened,  I took him to The Captain.
Blind Pew! said the captain. Aye, Captain I've come said the blind Pew, then He said me Hod out the Captain's left hand. I did it, and Blind Pew put a piece of paper in the Captain's hand. The Black Spot shouted the Captain and the colour of his face changed from white to red. We'll come for you tonight said blind Pew and He left the inn.
The Captain stood up. He put his hand on his throat. His face was purple and he fell onto the floor. I called to my mother to help the Captain, but he was dead. I told my mother what had happened. Pirates are coming, I said. We ran outside, we asked help to the Village. But no one wanted to help us. Every one was afraid. At last one man sent his son to get Dr. Livesey, he'll know what to do, said the man.
My mother and I returned to the inn. Let's open his sea chest, I said. We opened the wooden chest, inside there was a bag of money and  a leather packet. I'll take the money he owes me and no more, she said.
Suddenly I heard a whistle and I heard tap, tap, tap of a stick, Blind Pew has come back. I took the leather packet from the chest and my mother tokk a few coins. We scaped for the back door of the inn and we ran towards the village. Behind us we heard shouts. Get the chest, Get the map, Blind Pew shouted.
Suddenly we heard many men riding towards us and we heard the sound of a gunshot. Blind Pew shouted Don't leave me! he fell on the ground,  the horsemen didn't see him in the darkness and they rode over him. Blind Pew gave a terrible scream and he dead.
