AUTHOR'S NOTE: So sorry it took so long updating. You see I have been living in a cabin in the woods miles away from my beloved computer for the past week.

Chapter. 14 Cannibal Picnic

Emma sat shivering in the dark as she waited for Elizabeth. A big cap slid further down on her face. Emma scowled and lifted it up again. Normally, Emma liked dressing up in costumes in The Kingdom. It was fun pretending to be Dopey or one of the princesses, but the outfit Elizabeth had given her was no fun. The sleeves on the shirt were long and baggy and the breeches and stockings were made of scratchy wool. Worst of all, the clothes made her look like a boy. She didn't see why Elizabeth had to make her look like this.

Emma sat outside Beckett's office. Elizabeth burst out suddenly carrying a gun in one hand and a stack of papers in the other. The papers that Beckett had been willing to trade for Jack's compass. "Come along, Emma," Elizabeth said quickly. She gripped Emma's hand and pulled her along.

"Where did you get those papers?" Emma demanded. She was a little suspicious of all this activity. First, Elizabeth had broken them out of the carriage. The carriage that was supposed to take them to freedom. Then, she had swiped a spare set of clothes for Emma from a sleeping cabin boy. Finally, she had slunk into Beckett's private rooms with a pistol hidden in her dress.

"Doesn't matter," Elizabeth said.

"Then, where did you get them?!" Emma cried, "If it doesn't matter then why won't you tell me?!"

"I'm just borrowing them," Elizabeth insisted.

"Oh," Emma said. She narrowed her eyes suspiciously, "Is this like when Jack borrows something? Cause he's not a very good borrower. He doesn't usually give them back."

"Shh!" Elizabeth hushed. She pulled Emma against the wall of a building. A small company of guards hurried past. Elizabeth let out a sigh of relief and motioned for Emma to follow her.

"Where are we going?" Emma asked in a small voice.

"We're getting on a boat," Elizabeth said, "We have to find Will and Kelsey and quick!"

Emma gripped the corner of Elizabeth's dress in one hand and struggled to keep up. "Are you sure your daddy won't be mad at us for running away?"

Elizabeth paused briefly. She didn't want to think about her father. She prayed that he would be okay. She knew it wasn't the proper just to leave him behind to face Beckett, but she had no choice. She had to find Will. "He'll be fine, Emma," she said with a confidence that she didn't have, "It's Will and Kelsey that I'm worried about."

"Oh," Emma shrugged simply, "I'm not worried about Kelsey."

"You're not?"

"No," Emma said, "She's been in worse trouble than this. Though I might be a little bit worried about Jack..."

"Why Jack?" Elizabeth asked.

Emma shivered, "If he knows what's good for him, he'll hide now. Because when Kelsey finds him, she's gonna kill him!" Emma had no idea how right she was.

"THEY'RE GOING TO WHAT?!" Kelsey screamed. Several natives scattered when Kelsey's face started turning from red to purple.

"Now love," Jack said trying to calm her down, "It's not as bad as all that."

"NOT AS BAD AS ALL THAT?!" Kelsey continued to holler, "JACK! THEY'RE GOING TO EAT US!" Kelsey groaned and shoved her face in her hands. She began to laugh slightly maniacally, "You know what. I could use a good laugh right now. Tell me. How is it not as bad as all that."

"Well, the way I see it," Jack shrugged, "They'll get full after they eat one of us. So the other can scarper off."

"I'm doomed!" Kelsey groaned.

"They could try and eat me," Jack said.

"Please," Kelsey said with a sigh, "Why have hamburger when you can have filet mignon?" Jack rolled his eyes as two of the natives approached them. Jack babbled something to one of them. "What did you say?!" Kelsey demanded.

"I told them you were tenderer," Jack said.

"He's bigger," Kelsey piped.

"She's fresher." Jack retorted.

"He has more flavor."

"She's cleaner."

"He's full of rum!" The two natives looked at Jack and licked their lips before returning to the fire. "This is stupid!" Kelsey cried, "We should be figuring out how to get out of here!"

"Hmm," Jack said, "I have a plan."

"Great," Kelsey said with a sigh. Jack hurried over to the natives and yelled something at them. Kelsey caught the words "Big Fire" Kelsey raised an eyebrow as she watched Jack flail about. The natives redoubled their efforts of throwing wood onto the fire. Suddenly, Jack tore off in the opposite direction. He grabbed Kelsey by the arm as he ran.

"This is your plan?!" Kelsey cried.

"Yep," Jack said.

"This is never going to work!"

"It would work a lot better if you'd run faster," Jack yelled over his shoulder. Kelsey followed after him. The two tore across a bridge. Kelsey had her eyes squeezed tight as she did. "Don't look down! Don't look down! Don't look down!"

"What are you doing?" Jack demanded.

"I'm afraid of heights," Kelsey said.

Jack rolled his eyes, "Kelsey, you can fly."

"I can?" Kelsey said, "Oh yeah! I can." Kelsey laughed sheepishly. Suddenly, Jack halted in front of her. Kelsey struggled to stop and bumped into his shoulder. Two natives stood in front of them. "Great," Kelsey groaned, "I hate spears. I hate sharp pointy spears."

"I can handle this," Jack said drawing his sword. He scurried forwards to face the natives. Kelsey meanwhile sat cross legged on the bridge. She desperately flipped through the pages until she found the first song. "The seaweed is always greener in somebody else's lake..." Kelsey slowly raised her arms up and as she did two mighty waves rose up from either side of the bridge. Jack jumped back away from the water. Kelsey brought her hands together and the waves swept over the bridge washing away the natives. "Hmm," Kelsey mused, "Moses parting the Red Sea... in reverse."

Jack stood there with wide, wide, eyes before he whirled around to face Kelsey. "Love," he said briskly, "Is there some tidbit of information you didn't deem important enough to tell me?"

"Long story," Kelsey said, "The spark notes version is this. I have this book and now I can control water. I believe we were running..."

"You have The Book of Songs?!" Jack cried, "That's the most powerful..."

"I KNOW WHAT IT IS!" Kelsey cried, "We don't have time to have a book club meeting Get moving!" She shoved Jack forwards and they took off again.

"Here!" Jack cried, "We can hide here." He pulled Kelsey inside a half-dilapidated hut that was perched on the edge of a cliff. Kelsey frowned. Yeah, that looks safe! Once inside, Jack began rummaging through the leftover supplies hidden in the hut. He picked up a pepper shaker and frowned. Kelsey leaned over and inspected the shaker. The seal of the East India Trading Company was on the bottom. Kelsey frowned. This deal isn't going to work out so well. "I think they're gone," Jack said after a while. The two slowly emerged from the hut. Jack let out a cry of surprise.

"What is it...? ARGH!" Kelsey cried. She looked out. All of the natives surrounded them looking at them with hungry eyes. "Jack," Kelsey spat, "Do me a favor. STOP THINKING!"

Jack smiled at the natives. He raised his arm and sprinkled some of the pepper underneath his arms. "A little seasoning."

Minutes later Kelsey and Jack were tied together on a pole. "This is NOT the way I planned to go!" Kelsey scowled, "A Kelsey and Jack shish kabob? Jeez!"

The two were inching nearer and nearer to the fire. "Come on Water Goddess!" Jack yelled, "Use your powers! Save us!"

"I can't!" Kelsey yelled, "There's no water around here!" What good is having the most powerful thing in The Kingdom if I can't save my own life with it?!

"Not good!" Jack cried. He blew down on the fire in a desperate attempt to put it out. The fire merely flared higher. Kelsey cringed as she felt the heat against her cheek.

"Well, at least there's some poetic justice at work here," Kelsey said.

"What's that?" Jack asked.

"YOU'RE on the bottom!" Kelsey snapped, "So I'll at least outlive you."

"Comforting," Jack grumbled.

Suddenly, a scrawny native ran in yelling something at the top of his lungs. He pointed at the cages desperately. Jack followed his finger before yelling at them. "Well, go on go get them!"

"Go get who?" Kelsey asked, "What did they say?"

Jack shrugged, "Something about Will and the others escaping."

"And you sent them after them?!" Kelsey yelled, "They could be in danger!"

"WE'RE in danger, love!" Jack retorted. He began to bounce back and forth on the pole until the pole flopped to the ground.

Kelsey breathed a sigh of relief, "We're safe!" Jack got to his feet taking her with him. "Ja-a-a-ack!" Kelsey cried as Jack took off running. He raced across the bridge with Kelsey yelling at him the entire way. "I HATE YOUR ROTTEN GUTS, JACK!"

Jack suddenly came to a halt again. Standing before him were two massive native women. "Jack?" Kelsey asked anxiously."What's the holdup?What are you doing?!" Kelsey screamed.

"One moment," Jack said. He let out a wild cry and charged forwards.

"What are you doing?!" Kelsey screamed. One of the women stepped to one side and Jack drove the stick into a pile of coconuts. They were stuck. "Now what, Einstein?" Kelsey snapped.

"I have another idea!" Jack cried he whirled around quickly catapulting the coconut towards one of the women. The women caught it like a soccer ball. She lowered it slowly glaring at Jack. Jack swallowed nervously. "We may have a problem."

Kelsey craned her neck to get a good look at the woman. She groaned, "JACK I HATE YOUR ROTTEN GUTS AND YOUR ROTTEN IDEAS!" The women began pelting fruit at the two of them. Every time Jack turned another piece got stuck to the pole that they were tied to.

"STOP!" Jack roared suddenly.

Kelsey looked at the pole covered in fruit. "Great, make us look more appetizing! Now we really are a shish kabob!"

"Rest assured, love," Jack said, "I have another idea."

"I DON'T LIKE YOUR IDEAS!"

Jack ran forwards and pole vaulted over the edge of cliff. The two of them flipped over and over until they landed nimbly on the other side of the cliff. Kelsey was screaming her head off the entire time. Jack chuckled nervously, "See. It worked."

Suddenly, a mango began sliding to the other side. "Oh no!" Kelsey groaned. One side of the pole grew too heavy and Kelsey and Jack toppled over the edge of a cliff. The space between the cliffs grew narrower and narrower until the pole got stuck between the two. The rope unraveled so the two of them bounced up and down between the ledges like a yoyo. Finally, they stopped. "You okay, Kelsey?" Jack cried. Kelsey gripped Jack's neck and proceeded to throttle him.

"IF YOU EVER, EVER, EVER DO THAT AGAIN, I SWEAR TO GOD...!" Kelsey's rant was cut off by a scraping noise. Both of them looked up nervously.

"Oh bugger!" Jack swore. The pole broke and the two crashed down to the earth, (but first they crashed through three wooden bridges). Luckily, the two of them had a soft landing on the leaf covered ground. The fruit splattered all around them.

"Ohh!" Kelsey groaned, "I need an aspirin."

Escaping had been no walk in the park for Will either. He and the others had managed to pull their cages up and roll them to the bottom of the hill. All while dodging the natives who were furious that they escaped. The crew ran across the beach with Will and Gibbs following behind them. Meanwhile, the two misfit pirates from Barbosa's crew, Pintel and Ragetti were climbing on the Pearl. The two looked up in shock, guilty looks plastered all over their faces.

"We done it for you!" Pintel insisted, "We knew you would come back..."

"Climb aboard boys!" Gibbs cried, "Get ready to make sail!"

"What about Jack and Kelsey?!" Will demanded.

"RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!" Kelsey tore past the stunned group of pirates.

"Kelsey?" Gibbs cried as Kelsey scrambled on board.

"Kelsey!" Will cried, "Where's Jack?!"

"William Turner! You get your fine butt up here this instant!" Kelsey yelled down, "Quick get ready to make sail!"

"No!" Will cried, "I won't leave without Jack!"

"Oy!"

Will turned around slowly. Jack was scampering towards them. He sighed a sigh of relief and then he saw what was behind Jack. An entire army of angry cannibals. "Never mind. Let's go!" Will cried.

"Cast off!" Gibbs cried as he climbed aboard.

Jack desperately climbed aboard. He found himself clinging to the boat alongside Kelsey. He gave her a golden smile before turning to the cannibals. "My children!" he said dramatically, "You will always remember this as the day..." Kelsey rolled her eyes and hummed the First Song. A mighty wave rose up and completely soaked Jack midsentence. "Captain Jack Sparrow," he muttered dejectedly. He smiled at Kelsey. "I thought that went well."

"Get...on...the... boat!" Kelsey said ferociously. Jack nodded and scampered aboard with Kelsey close behind him.
