The Necklace of Two Worlds

Chapter Eleven: The Second Stay on the Iron Vulture.
Sam sat on the bed, crying in the cell that she willingly entered a few minutes after surrendering to Don Karnage and his pirates. She knew that she had a limited amount of time before the pirates would get rid of her.
"What am I gonna do?"
Sam looked at the necklace without its amulet. The amulet was taken by Karnage to make sure that Sam would stay on the Iron Vulture.
With a deep sigh, Sam dried her eyes for the fifth time; she had been crying after she entered the cell. Her thoughts were on her friends, whom she had rescued from Karnage and his crew.
"Hey, you!"
Sam turned to the door of the cell and saw Mad Dog.
"What do you want?" The cat asked rudely.
"The captain wants to see you." The weasel-like dog answered.
"Fine." Sam replied, getting to her feet.
The feline heard the lock on the cell door click, telling her that the door was opened, and Mad Dog confirmed it by pulling the door.
"Come on!" The dog demanded in his whine-like voice, "The captain doesn't like to be kept waiting!"
"I'm coming." Sam growled before she followed Mad Dog.
Then, Mad Dog slapped shackles that had a chain on them on the cat's wrists and started dragging Sam very harshly.
Karnage was looking at the mirror to make himself look even better and remove any
flaws on himself, when a knock was heard.
"Who is it?" The captain of the Air Pirates asked without turning from the mirror.
"It's me, boss!" Mad Dog's voice replied from the other side of the door.
"Do you bring the prisoner?"
"Yes, sir!" The underling replied loudly, which was followed by a 'ow' from Sam.
"Bring her in!" The captain commanded.
The door opened revealing Mad Dog and the chained Sam, who had a red mark on her face, on the other side. The ferret-like canine pulled the chain and halfway dragged Sam into the room.
"Ow!" Sam exclaimed as the pain to her wrists were doubled every time Mad Dog yanked on the chain her shackles were attached to.
"Mad Dog!" Karnage scolded the underling, "Do not be yankeding the girl! I need her to being in one pieces!"
"But…?" Mad Dog tried to speak, but Karnage dismissed him by saying, "Get out!"
Dropping the chain to Sam's shackles, Mad Dog dashed out in fear of his captain's wrath.
Seeing this, Sam became a little more fearful for her life, but she knew that she's perfectly safe until Karnage has the treasure of Lolan.
Karnage turned to Sam and started to say, "I am apologizing for this rough behavior to you, but…"
"Save it for the next girl." The cat said sourly, "I know this is another precaution to keep me from running away."
Karnage was outraged for being interrupted, but he reclaimed his fury and said in a dead-cold voice, "I do not people talking when I am talking, so consider this a warning: Do not do it again."
Sam, somewhat fearful, said, "Fair enough."
Seeing Sam being afraid of him, Karnage grinned wily as he cleared his throat and pulled out the map.
"Now," spoke the pirate, "is the treasure at Red Dog Island?"
"Yes." Sam answered honestly.
The tan wolf thought about the answer quickly and said, "You would not being the lying liar right now, would you?"
"No." Sam answered again.
"That is very good." Karnage mused a little.
Then, the captain entered his thoughts for a few moments before returning his attention back to Sam.
"You will not be making no trouble for me," Karnage said, pulling out his saber, "or you be gutted very horribly."
"I get it!" The cat reacted upon seeing the saber.
Karnage would have became enraged, but he needed her alive to get to the treasure.
"Captain!" Dumptruck's voice rang out, "We're nearing Red Dog Island!"
Hearing this, the wolf grinned evilly.
Karnage and Sam, who was pulled by the chain and shackles, entered the cockpit.
"This is the cockpit?" Sam asked, hoping that the captain took a wrong turn.
"Yes, it is." The wolf answered.
Sam was trying, but she was also failing at trying to confuse the captain of the Air Pirates.
"Captain, look!" Mad Dog 'whined' as he pointed at a very small island that had a large mountain.
Sam saw this and thought that most of the residents would live on the mountain, whether or not that they know that the treasure might be in the mountain.
Karnage grinned as he saw the island, and said, "Finally! The treasure of the lost city of Lolan will be mine!"
Then, Sam knew that Karnage was probably be too busy rejoicing to realized that she had a plan in her mind, but she needed to be on the island by herself before she could execute her plan to save herself and to keep the treasure from Karnage's greedy hands.
Karnage turned to his crew and yelled out a command.
"Prepare for landing!"
The crew obeyed and quickly.
"So, what are you up to?" The feline asked to take a peek into Karnage's plan, if not his, in Sam's opinion, twisted mind.
"Since, these may be your finally moments of being alive," Karnage said with no remorse in his voice, "I will tell you. I plan to use the secret weapon of Lolan to loot Cape Suzette and become the richest man in the world."
"You sure have high hopes." Sam commented, not knowing to be insulting or respectful.
"Why, thank you." The pirate replied in pride, "I will be returning the amulet to you, but only after the Iron Vulture has landed."
Then, the captain walked out of the cockpit, leaving Sam with her thought: 'And that's when I strike.'
