Saturday was nlrmally supossed to be normal, but apparently, Fearless Darcy Burke didn't approve. And it was obvious Merciless Devin Devereaux, her sister* didnt know a single thing about it.
It had all started on Pirate Island:
Jake and his crew were jusy hanging out on the beach when Darcy came over and sweetly asked to talk to Jake in private. As soon as they were out of sight, it was plain Darcy never intended to talk, because Jake received a hard punch in the face. When he cried out, but Darcy hand gagged him and told him not to tell anyone. After punching him again, she darted off, but not before threatening to hurt him at a level he never saw before if he told.
Jake was bewildered. Even though he knew Darcy's name meant dark, she wouldnt suddenly turn on them, would she? Five minutes later,he returned to Izzy and Cubby. Luckily, he didnt look too beat up. But that was only the beginning.
Later on that day, Darcy came to Jake with a dark look on her face. "Have you told anyone?" she hissed.
"N-no, Darcy," Jake whompered.
"Ha! Liar!" Darcy shouted.
"It's th-the truth!" Jake whimpered.
"Ugh," Darcy huffed. Her hand curled into a fist and she slammed it hard onto Jake's nose. Jake screamed in pain. It hurt. Alot. He looked at Darcy in bewilderment. Darcy wasnt really that strong. A stream of blood dripped from his nose and stained his shirt.
"you are not to tell anyone!" Darcy said emphatically. "Or I'll hurt you alot worse, and anyone who you tell!" She flourished her sharp daggers, which were hanging at either sides of her belt. Then she leapt out as quickly as she had come.
"The others cant see me like this," Jake thought as he wiped his nose. He was halfway through the action when both Izzy and Cubby came in.
Izzy's brown eyes widened. "What happened?"
"I, I cant tell you," Jake said slowly. Darcy's words echoed in his mind. "I'll hurt you and who you tell"
Jake shuddered, but the awful words kept repeating themselves. Then finally he couldnt keep it in. "It was Darcy" he said
"You mean Darcy Burke?" Cubby asked in a shaky voice. Jake nodded.
"Oh no," Izzy said. "If Devin find out," she couldnt bring herself to say what she was going to say.
"If she finds out," someone said. Darcy.
Jake, Izzy, and Cubby turned around to find her glaring at them. "So, Jake, i see you let the news loose."
"What other choice did I have?" Jake asked.
Darcy ignored Jake and snapped her fingers in Cubby's face. "You! Get out! I'll deal with you after them." Cubby timidly nodded and left, and Jake didnt blame him. When the door close, Darcy locked it, "Now for your punishment," she sneered sinisterly. She stared at the ceiling, as if deep in thought. "I know," Darcy smiled evilly. She pulled out a whip. Jake had no idea where she got it.
"You'll have to thank Aisha," Darcy smiled, referring to Sneaky Aisha Everett, the bucaneer alliance captain on Devin's ship.
"Aisha's in this too!" Izzy squeaked.
Darcy glared at her, "No, Aisha let me use it. She had no idea what I really intended to use it for!" She laughed sinisterly. Jake squinted. Something wasnt right. He didnt have time to ponder over it more because he felt a searing pain his chest. The whistle of Darcy's whip sounded, and Jake saw his shirt ripped and stained with blood. Darcy dealt Jake to five more strikes, then she ordered, "Get out now, so I can deal with your little friend."
Jake's blood ran cold. Who knew what Darcy was now capable of now? "Never," Jake said defiantly.
"Hmmm," Darcy "pondered". "If you wont leave, you'll watch Izzy suffer!"
