Chapter 12: La Isla de la Cantera

"Jack, stay here with your crew. I will signal for you from that cliff when I am ready for you all to come ashore"

"What are you gonna do, luv?"

"Some persuasion"

Jack looked at her in confusion.

"I'll explain later"

"Be careful, luv"

"I will"

Magdalena and her uncle boarded the dingy and headed towards the beach. They arrived at sunrise heading towards his home. When they arrived, there was nothing left except for his horse inside what was left of his barn. Felipe started to cry. Magdalena was furious.

"Tio, Let's go"

"Adonde?"

"There must be someone you can talk to."

"We will go see my partner"

"Vamanos"

They headed towards town. It was already mid-morning when they arrived in town at the bank.

"Your partner is here?"

"Si, mija, He works here. Stay here with the horse while I go in to see him"

Felipe entered the bank, where his business partner looked at him like he saw a ghost.

"Felipe?"

"I thought you were dead. I mean it was rumored"

His business partner looked nervous. Felipe knew now the truth. His partner, Jose, had wanted all of the business, so he had struck a deal with the mayor, to kill him and stay with the business and his land.

"You look nervous, Jose. Is there something you want to tell me"

"Uhh!"

Jose started to cry in fear. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me"

Felipe just turned around and left the banker standing there. Magdalena watched as her uncle came out of the bank. She knew what had happened and headed towards the door, but her uncle stopped her. She turned around towards the horse.

"Go to the cliff and send a signal to Jack. I am going to go and speak to this mayor"

Before Felipe could protest, she was gone. Felipe ran back towards the cliff as fast as he could. From the church, stood a young priest who just looked on in interest as he witnessed what had occurred. He saw Jose come out of the bank. Jose followed Felipe. He had a pistol in his hand. The priest thought that this could not be good and decided to follow the both of them.

Magdalena arrived at the mayor's mansion that was heavily guarded.

"You girl, What do you want?"

"I need to speak to the mayor?"

"Not without an appointment"

"I do not need an appointment"

"Oh yes you do"

"Bueno, it's his death and yours, because you do not know what is coming to you"

The men did not know how to react. They had never seen a woman act the way she had. Before they could question her anymore she was gone. She headed back towards town to await Jack and their crew.

Felipe reached the cliff at sunset and signaled to the Pearl. He then turned around to see Jose standing in front of him with a pistol pointing straight at him.

"Who are you signaling too?"

"My new family, being I have no one left here. How could you? You were like a brother to me."

"Money speaks a lot about a person. You were very wrong about me. Twas a mistake for you to come back here. Now I will finish what the armada could not finish"

He fired a shot that landed into Felipe's chest. Felipe fell to the ground. Jose saw the ship with the black sails and he knew immediately that they were pirates. He quickly ran towards the mayor's mansion to warn them of the pirates. When Jose was out of sight, the priest grabbed his donkey and went to where Felipe was lying unconscious. He laid Felipe over the donkey and headed back to the mission as fast as he could. When he arrived he saw the same woman that was with Felipe earlier sitting at the fountain waiting. She didn't see him, so he quickly took Felipe inside and laid him at the altar and hurried outside to get Magdalena.

"Senora?"

"Si, padre!"

"The man you were with earlier has been shot. I believe he is dying. He has lost a lot of blood. He is inside the church. Quickly come child. "

They ran inside the church. "Tio, No Tio" She ran to him and sat his head in her lap. "Tio, I love you. Don't leave me now after I have found you again" He woke up. "Mija, Jack is coming. He will avenge all of this" Felipe fell limp in her arms. Magdalena sat there for a long time with the dead Felipe in her arms. She finally heard the sounds of the cannons and knew that it had began.

"Padre, take care of his body. I will be back"

"Vaya con dios"

Magdalena left the church. Where she saw The pearl attacking the docks. She also saw a group of pirates making their way towards her. When they got closer she saw Jack, Gibbs, and few more of the pirates.

"Jack, my uncle is dead. We must go towards the Mayor's mansion"

"Sorry, luv"

He kissed her and then grabbed her hand and let the group of pirates towards the mansion. They were met half way by a group of soldiers. Magdalena let go of Jack's hand a ran towards a soldier ready for the attack. The rest of the men followed. Magdalena and Jack made their way through the soldiers. Magdalena came upon a big Spaniard and began to fight him but was quickly overpowered by him and he held her by the neck by his sword. Jack saw this and made his way towards her, but seeing there was no way he could help her, He threw his sword down in defeat. Gibbs saw this and took the opportunity to run back towards the Pearl before he was captured as well. Jack and Magdalena were led towards the jail to await their punishment.

Gibbs reached the Pearl safely and made his way towards the temporary captain, Captain Barbossa.

"Barbossa, we must rescue Jack and his bonny lass!"

Barbossa did not say a word. He knew that if he did not rescue Jack, He could finally have his ship back and Jack would have been killed. Killed! he thought. A few years ago, he would have quite enjoyed that idea, but now for some strange reason the weird captain had grew on him, kind of like a stepson would.

"Ah, shit. We leave now, but we will return in the morning to rescue them. We need a plan"

Gibbs was in shock at what he was hearing as were the rest of the crew.
