Chapter 10: Confessions
Diego was running back to the crew to tell them what he had just seen.
"We've got a problem" Diego said then he froze. His cew had been attacked. Some were dead and few were barley hanging on to life.
"Oh no" Diego said. then he saw Sid,Crash and Eddie hidding in a tree.
"What happend?" Diego asked.
"Jamal happend, Diego. He wants his revenge!" Sid yelled.
"Yeah and he has Shira!" Crash yelled.
"She works for him!" Eddie screamed.
"Wait what?" Diego said confused.
"She works for him. His ship has been following us since the day we found her! She's a liar!" Sid wailed.
"No. She can't be" Diego said.
"But she is" Crash relied.
Before Diego could say anything else something grabbed his back leg and dragged him in to the bushes. The same happend with Sid, Crash and Eddie. Diego was hit in the head with somthing and tied against a post with his remaining crew members. Later when he woke it was pitch black no fire to light up the ship. Just darkness.
"Hello Diego, remember me?" A deep voice said.
"I thought I killed you" Diego said.
"Well here I am" It said again.
"Show youself coward" Diego said. Then a large saber walked out from the shadows. He was a darker orange than Diego. With a white underside and dark brown eyes. Across one eye a large scar; Jamal.
"I see you still have a battle scar" Diego said.
"Thanks to you" He replied, "Now say hello to your little friend. Shira"
Shira came walking out of the darkness with two sabers at her side to keep her from running away.
"She works for me" Jamal said.
"Why?" Diego asked, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was going to, in the cave but" she said and trailed off. she refused to look at Diego in the eye. She just stared at the ground.
"What do you want?" Diego asked the saber.
"Tell me where the maps are"jamal said.
"Why?" Diego said.
"that tresure is mine" he relied
"My ship" Diego said.
"Good, now I'll kill you later but your last hours can be spent with shira" Jamal said and with that he left.
Diego and Shira were left in the room.
"I'm Sorry" Shira was the first to speak up.
"It's okay. Why does he want that tresure so bad and why do you work for him?" He asked.
"Well, it has been said if you find the river of gold and drink from it you are ganted everlasting ife. Also I was forced to come on this ship. I jumped to try and get away but he ended up finding me." She said and she started to untie him from the ropes.
"Oh Isn't there some sort of challenge or trap?" He asked.
"Well the whole cave that the tresure is in, it's said to have a beast so scary it makes even the most bravest sabers run away." she said and Diego chuckled. She had untied hm.
"Is my crew on here?" he asked.
"Yes"
"Where are they?"
"The north side"
"Take me?"
"We have some tresure to find, captin"
"Lets go" diego saiid and they left. they were careful not to be seen but no one was on the ship.
"This way" shira said and ran to a room, "Help me break it down" She said. Both got into position.
"One..." Diego said.
"Two.." Shira replied a little louder.
"Three!" Both yelled and rammed into the door and it broke down with ease.
"Diego!" Sid yelled and hugged Diego tightly.
"Sid! Off!" Diego said.
"Sorry. And Shira I knew you were on our side!" sid said and Shira smiled.
"Whose ready to steal a ship?" She asked everyone and they all started to cheer.
"Lets go!" Diego yelled and ran to the top deck. Only a few gaurds were on there and were killed quickly. Garcia went to steer the boat away from the island. Everyone cheered.
"To the tresure!" Shira shouted.
"To the tresure!" the crew shouted back.
When Jamal was going back to where his ship was he nearly fainted. It was gone.
"Shira that traitor! Back to thier ship!" He yelled and went back to the ship. He saw a redish figure and went after it.
"Well if it isn't Mandy" He said evily.
"What do you want?" She asked terrified.
"You are going to help me find what I seek" He said with a devileshly smile. He and his crew along with Mandy boarded the ship to find Diego and his crew.
"I feel sorry for them" Diego said.
"Why?" Shira replied.
"Because I took the maps" He said.
"How?"
"Last minute I got the map and ran off that's when Sid found me. I was going to throw it over the cliff but then somthing happend to my necklace so I attatched it to the necklace and walked away."
"Oh" She said remembering Diego's tragic words.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing"
"Shira"
"I'm fine"
"The truth?"
"No it's nothing"
"If it was nothing you would tell me"
"Ok Fine. You know what I heard you. I heard you confess to Sid. You said you dont love me and you said you would never love me. So you know what I'm fine with that"
"But I'm not"
"What?"
"I'm not okay with not loving you"
"What?"
"I lied."
"Why?"
"Because they're not ready to know"
Then Shira's and Diego's necklace glowed brightly. They floated as they did before and they stuck together as before.
"Yin and Yang" Shira said.
"What?" Diego asked.
"Yin the shady place and Yang the sunny place"
"I don't get it"
"I'm not going to give you the whole history but try to figure it out. Dark and light. Male and female. Hot and cold. Fire and Water."
"I can't live without you and you can't live without me" He said and Shira smiled and nodded.
"Diego!" Garcia yelled from outside.
"I gotta go" Diego said. Then he kissed her and left.
