Chapter 10
When we got to the Isle Damerta, I was standing beside Jack at the helm. Jack had one hand resting lazily on the helm and had his arm resting across my shoulders. I sighed and looked at the island in front of us. "So who is going in with you?" I inquired as I picked at the dirt underneath my finger nails, which was a bad habit for me. He cleared his throat and replied "Well Luv, the original plan was to only have me and William go in, but, if memory serves me right, the last time I forced you stay on a ship you taught your mother's parrot how to insult me. So since I don't want a repeat of that, only this time it would be different since you would be teaching Mr. Cotton's parrot, the plan is for me, William, and you to go in there and rescue o-what's-her-face." I looked up at him and smiled as the memory of the day when I taught my mother's parrot, Shelby, how to insult him. I turned to him and muttered, "You shouldn't had left me at the ship."
I heard someone clear their throat and looked over to where the sound came from. Standing there was Mr. Gibbs he looked at me and I saw a flash of fear in his eyes. He then looked at Jack and said quickly "Cap'n we're here." Jack nodded, "Lower the anchor. Mr. Turner, Miss Taylor, and I are going to shore." Mr. Gibbs nodded and scurried off yelling orders to the crew.
When they finally lowered the long boat into the murky and mysterious waters below the ship, Will, Jack, and I climbed in and headed toward the isle. The trip was a silent one for me but not for Jack and Will. So I was left by myself with a feeling that something very very bad was going to happen. I looked down into the murky water trying to shake off the feeling but it kept irritating me. It was like a fly that you swat away a million times but it keeps coming back.
Finally I was pulled away from the feeling when we reached the inside of the cave. I got up and followed behind Jack and Will as I heard a familiar voice echoing throughout the cave.
We climbed up a steep rock and peeked inside the cave. There was a lot of them standing there looking up to a man with a straggly beard who wore a sand dollar shape hat. The man clothes were worn out from what I could only guess was years of work at sea. By my observation he looked like the captain. Behind him and off to the side stood my very close friend Elizabeth. I gasped as I seen the knife in the hands of the captain. Will saw Elizabeth too and gasped and whispered, "Elizabeth!" He began to climb down from our hiding spot, which was littered with gold and jewels which made a soft clinking sound as he moved down. Jack blocked Will's way before he could blow our cover. "Wait for the opportune moment," Jack sighed. "When is that, Jack! When it's the profit for you?" Will snarled as he glared at Jack. I jumped down from where I sat and stood in front of Jack and glared at Will. "Will you shut it! I'm surprised that no one has come back here to look and see who the bloody hell is yelling!" I hissed, "Also has Jack gave you any reason to not trust him? Just trust him now and don't do anything stupid." Will looked at me for a minute then looked back a Jack and gave him a death glare, "Jade, Elizabeth is your best friend. Is that not true?" I faltered and nodded, "It's true she is my best friend, but I don't see why you are bringing that up." His gaze turned to mine as he growled, "How can you put her fate into his hands then? He's a pirate! Why do you have so much faith in him?" The anger in me flared as I retorted, "Firstly I didn't put her fate into his hands, William. You did when you freed Jack from that cell! So don't put that on me! Secondly, the reason I have so much faith in him is because he has known me longer than you, Elizabeth, her father, my parents, and most of my friends back in Port Royal! Lastly, don't ever insult Jack in front of me!"
Silence overcame our conversation but the voices still echoed within the cave signaling that no one had heard our argument which was surprising. Will stood there with a look of astonishment on his face. "You would stand up for him?" he asked incredulously. "Of course why wouldn't I?" I inquired. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jack looking at me with some emotion glinting in his eye that I couldn't place. I turned my eyes back to Will and he gave me a "are-you-serious" look. "Ok fine, the only exception is if it is out of a certain reasoning," I confessed. I saw Jack smirk at Will as Will glared back. "Now can we please save Liz and get the heck out of here!" I hissed.
Will nodded and we started toward the back entrance into the place Elizabeth was. I was walking behind Jack when I felt and sharp pain hit my head.
After that the last thing I saw was Jack turn around and look down at me before he fell too. Then everything went black.
