YAY SEQUEL! Enjoy :)

The sun shone bright against the pristine waters of the Caribbean and on the deck of the Black Pearl. Will clashed swords with Annabelle, who was getting practice. Elizabeth gasped and Jay flinched as they watched them collide swords. Jack turns the wheel to steer the ship. After riding the sealine for a while, Jack gasped, "There's another ship!"

The crew all groups together at the deck of the ship. There is a light wooden ship with white and red sails approaching The Black Pearl. Annabelle and Jay run to the side edge of the ship. The ship soon gets close enough to see the crew of the other ship. Only three people stand on board. One girl stood near the wheel, dressed in a dress shirt and tan pants with a large hat atop her head. Two other people, dressed in pirate's clothes, were pushing corpses off of the deck. Annabelle wondered aloud, "What are they doing here?"

Jay replies, "I don't know... but I'd rather not find out."

The girl steering the ship looks at the Black Pearl and grabs a bow and arrow. She wraps a piece of paper on the arrow and draws back her bow. The arrow spins across the waters between the two ships. Phoenix comes behind the group with Marigold and says, "What's everyone looking-"

Marigold screams, "LOOK OUT!"

Phoenix yelps and falls to the ground. The arrow flies through his hair and sticks itself in the mast. The entire group stares at it, except Phoenix, who says, "What. In. The World. Was-"

Annabelle says firmly, "Phoenix, be quiet."

"But-"

Jay says, "Does she need to repeat herself? You almost got killed by an arrow, so if I were you, I wouldn't get too snappy."

Phoenix gives Jay an angry look. Annabelle grabs the arrow and pulls out of the mast. She carefully removes the paper from the arrow. She reads aloud, "May the people by the names of Annabelle, Phoenix, and..."

Phoenix winces. Annabelle continues, "...Hayley please come aboard our ship. Come or we will come."

Jay puts his hand on Annabelle's shoulder and whispers, "Don't worry. I'll come with you."

Annabelle smiles at him weakly and looks toward the lifeboat. Annabelle then takes a deep breath and says, "Let's go." Phoenix stood up and walked to the boat. Annabelle walks up to the boat. Jay walks behind her. Phoenix climbed aboard and the others followed.

"Annabelle! Phoenix! You get back here! These are complete strangers and we don't know if they're safe or-"

"Mom. Calm down. We'll be fine. We'll come back, okay? Love you."

The ship sailed away from the Black Pearl and into the open sea. Phoenix mutters in a monotone voice, "Thank you, Marigold, for saving my life..."

Annabelle raises her eyebrows in surprise, "Phoenix, are you okay...?"

"Yeah, Marigold-"

"Who is Marigold?"

"My conscience."

"What?"

"Never mind. You wouldn't understand."

Annabelle raises her eyebrows again and looks to Jay for comfort and answers. Jay gives a confused look and shrugs. They finally get to the ship after a couple minutes of riding in silence. A girl looks down at the small boat and smiles. The girl steering screams, "Ahoy there!"

A rope falls down to the ship. Phoenix grabs on to the rope and starts to climb up. Jay picks Annabelle up and starts to levitate up to the ship's deck. The girl steering looks at the group and says, "Well, hello there."

She holds out her hand and says, "The name is Ashley. I'd prefer Ash. I was informed by the royals that you have stole something of precious value. Which one of you is Hayley...?"

Jay says, "I'm-"

"Oh! I didn't know Hayley was a boy's name."

Annabelle and Phoenix both laugh. Jay's cheeks flush red out of anger and embarrassment, "NO! I'M REPRESENTING HAYLEY! ...Hayley is dead..."

"Oh... well, then! I'm so sorry! For your loss and for calling you a girl."

Ash flashes a smile. Jay scowls. Annabelle smiles and rubs her hand across his back. Jay looks to Annabelle for comfort. Annabelle smiles and looks to Ash, "I'm sorry, but we don't have the money with us. And it wasn't really that valuable."
Ash says, "Apparently, your friend didn't tell you the amount of money she had stole. Because according to the royal guards, she had stole more than at least a couple hundred shillings."

The group goes silent. Finally, Jay says, "Well, she really was a pirate..."

Phoenix growls and looks to Jay, "Don't call her a pirate."

"Why not?"

"She was not a pirate."

"Hayley stole a couple hundred shillings. I'm pretty sure that qualifies her as a-"
Phoenix screams in rage and tackles Jay. Annabelle screams, "Phoenix!"
Ash looks at Annabelle uncomfortably and says, "Does this normally happen on your ship?!"

Annabelle shakes her head furiously and tries to throw Phoenix off of Jay. Ash shrugs and screams, "MY BET'S ON THE SORCERER!"

The two crewmates say, "Ash!"

"What?! This is the most fun I've had in a couple days!"

Ash rolls her eyes and says, "Fine."

Ash pulls the pistol out of her pocket and says, "All three of you stop fighting! Unless you want a nice hole square between your eyes."

The three stop fighting and get in a horizontal line.

"Now. This is my ship and I am captain. There will be no fighting between crew members. Is that clear?"

All three say simultaneously, "Yes, ma'am."

Ash looks at Annabelle and says, "Now, you will take me to your ship and I shall take the money which you have stolen from the royalty."
Annabelle asks, "Do you work for the king?"

"No, but I was hired by them. I am a professional assassin who works for a business-"

A man behind Ash says, "She must have been taught very well. She killed almost our entire crew."

Ash whips around and says, "Lucas. You mean my entire crew. You aren't exactly captain of this ship. Secondly," Ash turns around to look at the three, "I was trained by an expert at his craft and he was about my age. Unfortunately, he was killed by one of the targets. He ended up killing his hirer. Someone by the name of Adam."

Annabelle's eyes widen and she asks, "Who was your trainer?!"

"...A person by the name of David..."

Annabelle gasps and falls to the ground. Jay catches her. Annabelle's head starts pounding as she hears David's maniacal laughter and sees Adam's corpse sprawled across the floor. Ash says, "Is she okay?!"
Annabelle looks up and growls at Ash, "Your trainer was a monster."

Ash says, "Well... I'm sorry for what he did to mentally scar you, but-"

"He tried to kill my friend."
"Is this the friend that is dead or..."
"DOES THAT EVEN MATTER?! I STILL HAVE THE NIGHTMARES!"
Annabelle breaks down. Jay looks beyond the ship to see a tentacle coming out of the water. Jay says, "We've got company..."

Everyone looks to where Jay is looking. Ash says, "Oh. No."

The tentacle wraps itself around the mast and pulls it out of the ship. The tentacle then takes the broken-off mast and smashes it on the ship. Everyone screams in a panic. The mast crashes through the middle of the ship, breaking it in half. The crew gathers on one half of the ship as they watch the other sink down to the bottom of Davy Jones' Locker.

"Seriously?!" Ash screamed. "I just got this ship!"

"I think staying alive is more important right now!" Josi shouted.

"But the ship was so beautiful! I hadn't even gone battle with it yet!"

"Well, you are now!" Jay told her.

"AND I'M SUPPOSED TO KNOW HOW TO BATTLE A KRAKEN?!"

Jay groans and makes a force field around the crew. The Kraken smashes its tentacles against the force field. Jay screams in pain and falls to the ground. The force field shatters as if it were glass. Annabelle rushes to Jay's aid, but one of the Kraken's tentacles grabs Annabelle and picks her up. Annabelle screams, "JAY!"

He looks up to her in panic.

He tries flying up to her, but another one of the Kraken's tentacles smashes Jay midair. Jay falls to the ground. Phoenix helps Jay up and asks, "Are you okay?"

The Kraken swings Annabelle counter-clockwise. It then throws its tentacle back and throws Annabelle into the air. Annabelle screams at the top of her lungs, "JAYYYYYYYY!"

Jay tries flying toward Annabelle again, but another tentacle grabs him and throws him onto the deck. He gets up and looks to where Annabelle was, but couldn't see her.

Jay looks to Phoenix with an angry look, tears in his eyes, "Well, I'm not okay anymore!"

The Kraken then picks up Josi and Phoenix and throws them across the sea. Jay tries flying, but falls to the ground. The Kraken starts to swim away. Jay screams, "COME ON, YOU COWARD! ARE YOU TOO SCARED TO TAKE ME ON-"

Jay starts to cough and a drop of blood falls to the ground. Ash screams, "You coward of a kraken! You take my crew and my ship, then leave without a fight!"

The Kraken turns and starts to swim back to the ship. Lucas says, "So, what exactly is our plan now that we've got the monster chasing after us?"

Jay shrugs. Ash runs to the downstairs. Lucas says, "Seriously, Ash. Are you taking shelter?!"

Ash struggles to get back up the stairs. Jay asks, "What are you doing?"

"Carrying- up- a cannon!"

Jay and Lucas stare at her wide-eyed. Ash prepares the cannon and fires a cannonball straight at the Kraken. It blows a hole into one of the tentacles. The Kraken then looks at them with a look of sympathy, like it almost wanted to spare their lives because they were so pathetic, and advances towards the ship.

"Now what?!" Lucas screamed.

"I don't know! I normally leave all the weapons at the front of the ship which we now don't have!"

Jay clears his throat.

"What." Ash and Lucas say simultaneously.

"I'm a sorcerer," he informs them.

"Yes, thank you for telling us. We didn't notice," Ash says sarcastically. "Now help us think of a weapon we could use to defeat the Kraken!"

"I am my own weapon!" Jay shouts at them.

Lucas and Ash freeze for a moment. "Oh right… Go ahead, then."

Jay produces a ball of energy and throws it at the Kraken. The Kraken stops, momentarily confused. Then it's eyes focus on the ship again and it growls angrily.

"I think you just made it angrier…" Lucas points out.

Jay shoots a look at Lucas.

"GO GO GO GO GO!" Ash shouts. The crew rushes to the side of the ship. They almost reach the other side when the Kraken picks up their boat, and casts it into the far sea.
