Chapter 25

Curiously I starred over at Jack, who was cradling his jar of dirt, with his hand bandaged up again-just like when he had his spot.

Maybe he had cut his hand?

I shrugged to myself, while I leaned against Sirius, who sat with his back to Jack's, and looked disdainfully back at Elizabeth and James, who sat in the back, opposite of Sirius, Jack and I.

But Ragetti and Pintel obediently rowed the long boat, trying to keep their eyes peeled for any suspicious movements.

"You're pulling too fast." Pintel growled to Ragetti.

"You're pulling too slow!" Ragetti then motioned out to the open ocean," We don't want the Kraken to catch us."

Jack's head whipped back in nervousness at the sound of the Kraken's name being spoken. But then he nonchalantly turned his head back in forward, obviously trying not to cause a worry.

"I'm saving me strength for when it comes." Pintel explained his theory back to Ragetti. "And I don't think it's the 'kracken' anyways. I always heard it said 'krayken'."

"With a long 'a'?" Ragetti looked puzzled, as they both continued to row.

"Uh-huh." Pintel nodded his head, while Sirius rolled his eyes and placed a hand upon my knee, as if trying to seek my support to not reach over and kill Pintel and Ragetti for their famous bickering.

I placed a hand over Sirius's hand, while Ragetti snapped back to Pintel," No, no, no, no, no, no. 'Krocken' is how it's pronounced in the original Scandinavian. And 'kracken' is closer to that."

"We ain't Scandinavians, are we?" Pintel pointed out, before growling," 'krayken'."

I then heard a groan of agitation coming from Elizabeth, thus making me intervene.

"It's a mythological creature, boys," I sighed, patting both of their shoulders," you can call it whatever you want."

"That right!" Ragetti proclaimed loudly," It's a mythological creature, I can calls it what I wants."

Pintel groaned and waved his hand dismissively at Ragetti, thus beginning a tranquil silence upon the longboat.

I sighed happily. I don't know if it was really a good idea to allow both of them to part of "my" crew.
