So, honestly, I forgot about the prisoners. Lol. If I didn't remember to include them somewhere else, it'd be kind of strange. So, yeah, decided to do something about that. Enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 24:
Jack looked up as his father approached him. Something in the man's eyes told them that they were going to do something...different. He got to his feet, facing him.
"Need something?" He asked.
"Ye and I are taking a few others back to the ship. We have one more thing to do." The captain explained.
"And what's that?" He narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
"Ye'll find out when we get there." He crossed his arms. "Ye coming or not?"
"Fine." Jack consented. "Only to get away from these trees."
"Aye, well, I don't like em either, lad." Captain Jack admitted. "C'mon now."
The captain headed back towards the main group, the younger pirate racing after him.
"Who're we taking?"
"Scrum! Pintel! Monkey! Come with me!" The older pirate shouted.
Scrum and Pintel raced over, followed by Jack the Monkey, who climbed up the captain's shoulder. He tensed, then looked at the monkey. He wagged a finger, shaking his head.
"We going yet?" Jack asked, raising an eyebrow impatiently.
"Aye. Let's go." Captain Jack nodded.
*X*
"Where are we going, Captain?" Pintel asked as they pushed through the trees towards the shore.
"Back to the ships." He responded tonelessly.
"Why?" Scrum asked, surprise in his voice.
"To take care of some prisoners before they take the ships over." The captain told him.
"You mean to execute them?" The young Jack asked.
"Exactly."
