Ch.8

"We head for shallow waters..." he said in a calm voice, before panic finally took over him.

The two of us woke the entire crew, trying to get them to move fast. Thankfully no one noticed that I was there since I made quick work on getting up deck. I climbed up the mast to avoid being crushed by the mass of males coming up. Jack held his hand up in the air closed as he ran through the bodies, ordering the crew to get to land. When Gibbs asked him which port, Jack only said to go to land. I came from the main mast and watched as the monkey swung down suddenly, grabbing Jacks hat throwing it over board. Before Gibbs could give the order to get it back, Jack interrupted, saying that the just needed to get to land, then dashed away. I noticed him holding a cloth in his hand and decided to follow him, Gibbs thought the same thing as myself, but he just didn't know what had happened. We found Jack hiding under the stairs, petrified, but I couldn't blame him for that, having Davy Jones' beast come after him, wasn't a pleasant thing to know. When asked what was after us Jack said that it was nothing, and that he was just being strange. He and locked eyes for a brief moment and I just nodded to him, for a bit of reassurance. With Jacks order for land and the rest of the crew confused as to why we were heading to land on such short notice.

We got lucky if you ask me. In a few days we found land and docked the Pearl on its shores. What we didn't expect was to be ambushed by the natives there, everyone except for Jack and myself were taken away by said natives. Everything seemed to be going well... I think anyways. Jack seemed to be their leader, or god, or something of the sort and they probably thought I was his servant or.... something along the lines of that since they made sure I was at his side, no matter what... and I meant no matter what, so I think they think that I'm Jack's lover... or something. Day and night I had to be at least two feet from him at maximum. Though, Jack would probably say that it would be for the best, since there was always a risk of something happening to me, but I find that a little too convenient for my tastes. I don't know how long we were there for, it seemed to be a few days. The tribe here didn't like my appearance apparently, so they took away my baggy shirt, leaving me in my breeches and wraps, which I'm thankful for since I would have acted violently if they took them off. My shirt was tied around my waist since I refused to let them take with them. Jack had painted eyes down his face and a necklace made out of human toes around his neck, plus a feathered crown that sat on his head. As for myself, my eyelids were painted black, then went down my face to my cheeks where they gave it a bit of swirl, then dabbed blue around it. When they came to my stomach I to struggled with the villagers, until Jack wrapped me in his arms and his warm breath hit my ear, when whispered for me to just let it happen, which I did, feeling heat come to my cheeks. They then drew something on my stomach with red, I haven't looked at it yet, and I really don't want to even if Jack said that it looked good on me. Currently I was leaning against Jack's should since I wasn't allowed to sit down. His eyes were closed, but with eyes being painted on his eyelids, it didn't look like it.

"Looks like the savages brought some new meat up." I whispered quietly to Jack, knowing that could hear me easily. He gave me a grunt in response, probably trying to figure out how we could escape this island without being eaten.

When I looked at the person they brought, I had to stop myself from gasping. There tied like a pig on the stick, was my brother, and from looks of things, he was starting to wake up, when he was awake enough to think properly he looked at us, while we looked back. Jack stood up and I followed him as we walked towards Will. Jack started poking Will a few times, then met my eye and I just tilted my head down and shook my head like it was no good. I made eye contact with Will and just shrugged a bit as Jack dealt with the tribe. "Don't do anything stupid." I mumbled to him while poking him a bit. Jack came back over after saying something else and nodded to me a bit, while my brother tried to get Jacks attention again by saying that he and Elizabeth were arrested when we helped Jack escaped and that they needed our help if Jack and I went with him back to Port Royal. Jack paused on the spot and turned aroun catching my eye, which was in a slight glare. He walked towards the tribe saying something else, I didn't know what, I never tried to speak to the tribe and looked back at Will when the tribe started cheering.

"Save us." I whispered to my brother before walking over to Jack, placing my arm over his shoulder. The two of us watched as the tribe took Will away, probably to where the others were being held, while Will asked us what was said we went back over to his chair slowly as the tribal men all left. "I hope we get off this island soon, I miss wearing a shirt." I mumbled to Jack.

Of course, Jack, being Jack, slid his arm around my bare waist, something that I was starting to get use to since he did it often as he could. "I think you look lovely without that shirt on luv. It makes you look so much more... feminine." He whispered into my ear in his husky voice, his callused fingers gently rubbing my side.

"You just like seeing me almost naked." I whispered back with a slight roll of eyes. When we came to Jack's 'throne' he let go of my waist and sat down. Soon the tribe was in high spirits, it looked like it was they were going to celebrate something I made a face and shook my head at the sight. Two of the younger tribe members came to Jack and put something behind his ears or something like that. From the smell of it, I gathered it was garlic. I leaned over to Jack when the two came over to me and did the same thing. "I think their up to something." I whispered to him a little on edge. Jack didn't answer me thought instead he picked up the toe necklace and took a bite out of one of the toes, which caused me to look away in disgust. "Just not right..." I muttered under my breath. Jack must have heard my because he chuckled quietly at my side.

I sent him a bland look which he ignored, like he usually did. The tribes men started piling wood in the center of the huts, and I could tell that Jack's ego started to swell a bit. He stood up from his throne with me trailing behind him, and threw his arms us.

"No, no, no. More wood big fire. I am chief, was big fire. Go on." He encouraged them, he turned to the two 'guards' that always stood at the throne and got them to leave their spot to put more wood on the pile. When the tribes' back was turned to us, we looked at each other and took off. We ran across a bridge and down to a smaller part of the tribal area, making sure we weren't being followed. When we were about to jump, we stopped just short of killing ourselves and looked down at the canyon below us. I ran a hand through my hair, and sighed through my nose. 'Now how are we going to get across?' I thought bitterly. Jack pulled me away from the edge and looked at the long sticks of bamboo. He picked one up and held it in his hands.

"I don't think that's going to work." I muttered quietly. Jack seemed to agree and put the bamboo stick down and started looking for something else. We decided to walk into one of the huts and looked around. I had to say though, they collected a lot of modern things. I tapped Jack on his shoulder, spotting two ropes nearby and pointed them out to him. "I think that's what we need." I whispered to him. He looked over to where I was pointed at and grinned. "I knew there was a reason why I kept you on the ship." He said walking over to the coiled rope. He took one and placed it over his shoulder and was about to walk out with me behind him, with my rope, when he spotted something. He picked up a can of Paprika, I looked over his shoulder, standing on my tiptoes as he turned it over, the bottom had 'East India Company' written on it with their symbol underneath. I noticed Jack's eyes widen a bit and turned around suddenly crashing into me. Now, I should probably say this, just so we're clear... when I'm not on my tiptoes, I reach Jack's forehead, when I am on my tiptoes, I'm basically the same height as him. So when he turned around as suddenly as he did, and crashed into me, something very unexpected happened. We kissed. It was a complete accident, that freaked me out immensely, due to the fact, that one, I never kissed anyone before, two, I have never been in any intimate relationship with anyone in that kind of matter, the only one who I've ever been close to has been Will, and finally three, I don't know why but I enjoyed it much more than I probably should have. Now, I'm going to guess that you think that we stayed like that right? Well... you're wrong. As soon as I felt the pressure on my lips I jumped back, and let out a startled yelp. I must have missed stepped cause I soon falling backwards. If it weren't for Jack grabbing my arm and pulling me close to him, I probably would have let the whole tribe know where we were.

"Now luv, I can't imagine that I'm that bad of a kisser hm?" Jack said teasing me, probably with a very egotistical smirk on his face. At the moment, I have pretty much pressed into his chest with his arms on my bare shoulders. My cheeks were burning, so I gathered that my face was quite red. Pushing myself off his chest, which I would admit was as toned as I figured it was, and turned around not facing him.

"I shouldn't have been standing so close behind you. We should probably get going now in case the tribe comes here." I said, trying to keep my voice as steady as I could make it. Thankfully or unthankfully, depends on how you look at it I assume, Jack didn't say anything, he walked around me still holding onto the Paprika and nudged me a bit in the arm as he passed.

"Don't be so down luv. First we have to escape here, then we worry about our kiss savvy?" he said, smirking, I just know he is. I looked up at him, feeling the burning in my cheeks lesson, to see that he didn't have the perverted look on his face that I thought he'd have. This was a rare look, one of understanding and one that looked like he cared. "Aye, we'll worry about it later." I agreed softly, only to see him grin back at me.

"Then let's go." He said and walked out of the hut with me in toll. It was when he stopped suddenly, and I bumped into him, did I realize why he suddenly sounded disappointed. "Oh bugger..." There in front of us were the tribes men, I gulped a little and dropped the rope I was carrying. Jack did the same thing then unscrewed the top of the paprika, and shook it onto himself, saying something about seasoning. I bowed my head, placing my hand on my forehead and shook my head with a sigh. "Now we're in for it..." I mumbled quietly. "Eaten alive and all that good stuff...."

We were soon tied up with the rope we were carrying on the long bamboo poles we were looking at before, then carried off to back to the main part of the tribal area. Four posts were placed around the wood pit, and I figured that, that was where they were going to place us, so we could burn... that's such a pleasant thought isn't it?

Around us the male tribesmen were dancing and hollering around in celebration. 'And lucky us, we're the main course!' I thought bitterly. The men who were carrying us walked over to the pit and put us over the pit using two of the sticks to hold us up. "Wonderful..." I murmured, looking down at the wood that was soon going to burn us alive. I'm sure how long we were there for, waiting for something decent to happen. I was counting how many ways there was to annoy Jack before we were burned live, but I couldn't think of anything, thanks to Jack and that damned accident kiss. Soon one of the men came running in with a lit torch, exclaiming something, probably about fire. He leaned down, ready to seal our fate, when one of the younger ones came running into the village. Everything came to a pause as they turned their eyes onto Jack, since, he was their chief after all. Once Jack then the signal to go, they all ran to whatever had happened. The one who was carrying the torch dropped it on the grass near the pit, joining his people. Unfortunately though... that almost set the wood on fire.

"That's not good." Jack and I said at the same time. Jack leaned down and tried to blow it out, only making sparks fly onto the grass, and wood, starting them on fire. "You idiot..." I groaned, watching as the fire pit started on fire. We started struggling, trying to ourselves loose so we get free, while the fire started getting higher, and warmer. It was only when we had struggled enough, that we pretty much jumped off the supporting sticks, landing on our sides and backs. I rolled onto knees, groaning and muttering about the pain, then got onto my feet, and having to walk hunched back so the pole I was tied to didn't drag on the ground. 'A fine mess you got us into this time Jack...' I thought bitterly and started walking away or rather hobbled away.
