Another chapter! After a looong wait again. Life is stressful at the moment. Hugs and cookies to all who reviewed!
The crew and Amy were dragged away all except Jack who the cannibals bowed down to as soon as he set foot on land.
The cannibals forced them to line up in a row, threatening them with their spears. A particularly important looking cannibal strolled up and down the line. He gave a silent nod to a select few from the crew and they were taken away. Amy's heart thumped as he stopped in front of her. She gulped and lowered her head, refusing to look him in the eye.
The cannibal said something that sounded along the lines of "See pew pew." and measured her head height against Gibbs who was standing next to her. She assumed they were calling her short. She scowled.
The important cannibal observed the remaining crew and banged his spear on the floor, apparantly satisfied. They were dragged off again into the clearing where the unfortunate picked people were taken to. There in the clearing were two particularly nasty looking cages, made entirely out of human bones.
"That's fast work." Amy observed, sickened at the same time. They were all shoved into the cages when another few of them burst through the trees, carrying none other than Will Turner hanging off a stick. Will was yelling something about Elizabeth and compasses.
they released him and pushed him into the cage Amy was in.
"Well well well, look what the cannibals dragged in. " She said, grinning. "Nice to see you again, Will."
"I wish it was under better circumstances." He replied.

"Well...this sucks." Amy commented. The bone cages were hanging a long way down from a rope bridge.
"Why would he do this?" Will asked angrily. "If Jack's their chief -"
"Aye, the pelagostos made Jack their chief." Gibbs replied.
"Pelagostos?" Amy repeated.
"Their official name. You see, Jack only remains chief as long as he acts like chief."
"So he has no choice. He's a captive as much as the rest of us." Will said.
Amy sighed and sat down, her legs dangling thorugh the gaps in the cage, feeling helpless.
"Worse, as it turns out." Gibbs said. "See, the Pelagostos believe Jack is a god in human form and they intend to do the honour of releasing him from his fleshy prison."
"You mean...?" Amy asked turning slightly pale.
Cotton munched on Gibbs' finger to demonstrate.
"Ah!" He yelped, pulling his hand away. "They'll roast him and eat him."
Amy shuddered.
"Where's the rest of the crew?" Will asked.
"You dont wanna know, mate..." Amy shuddered again.
Will looked questioningly at Gibbs who explained "These cages we're in? Weren't built until after we got here..."
Will swiftly removed his hand from one of the bones. The echoing sound of drums reached their ears.
"The feast is about to begin." Gibbs said. "Jack's life will end when the drums stop..."
"How d'you know all this stuff?" Amy asked in disbelief. Gibbs ignored her.
"We cant just sit here and wait, can we?" Will said, looking around the cage.
"You got a plan?" Amy asked.
"I've got a plan..."
"We're all doomed." Amy sighed.
The first bit in this chapter was a big ol' pain to write since I have no idea what happened to get them in the bone cages so I made it up.
Reviee please!
Lots o' love, Kissus. xxx
