I just wanted to say that I was sorta in a hurry when I wrote this so it
might not be as good as the first two chapters. I also lost inspiration.

A Daughter and a Treasure
Days passed in what seemed only hours as the Jack, Will, Sarah, and the crew went on their way. They stopped many times to get fresh supplies and Sarah saw so many sites she started to keep a diary with the leather- bound book Will gave her. Will was very nice where Jack was very distant. He looked at her with grief in his eyes until Will told her.
"Jack once had a daughter. Her name was Sarah too. She was a beauty that one. But she fell into the water one night while walking on the deck. Jack found her floating near the boat the next morning. He was stricken. She died the moment she hit the water. See, she was a fragile little lass. Pale as a dove, with raven black hair and bright brown eyes."
Sarah sat there listening to his sad story when jack came in. Will stopped immediately. Sarah looked up with tears in her eyes and ran and gave Jack a hug. He wrapped his arms around her and she said, "I will be your daughter for now." She said and began to bawl.
She could feel Jack's body heaving as he cried with her and could feel Will's arms go around both of them. Then they all let go and wiped the tears away.
"Ssarah! Come, look at thiss!" Jack cried the next day. Sarah rubbed the grit out of her eyes and went up to the deck. When she looked out where Jack's finger was pointed she gasped. It was a great big turtle. From far away it looked like an island, but if you looked close enough you could see its shell and eyes. The eyes were closed though. There were all sorts of trees, and plants on the turtle's back and Sarah could also see some buildings.
"Are we going there?" She asked and Jack smiled and shook his head happily. "Does it have a name?"
"Sparsseness. The isle of the Sparssen Treasure. There'ss gold on that turtle and we are going to find it!" he called out some orders and the ship began to move towards the turtle.
They had been searching through the island-turtle for three days until they found something. It wasn't what they wanted to find though. They were taking a long break when Sarah wandered through some bushes and came face-to-face with a native. She screamed and ran backwards but was caught by another who was hiding. They put their hands over her mouth and dragged her away.
When they finally got to their destination they tied Sarah's hands and feet together and gagged her mouth with a foul tasting cloth. They didn't really look as dangerous as they first did when they captured her. One had on some blue breaches and a red shirt and the other was just the opposite. They both had strange hats on sort of like Jack's. They were all dirty and smelled really bad.
"Who is she?" One asks the other. "I've never seen her before. Those men come here every year but this is the first time I've seen her!" This man seemed hyper and his teeth were all black.
"It doesn't matter. The thing is why is she with them?" The other, calmer man said thoughtfully.
Sarah tried to say something but the cloth muffled it. The calm man took it off. "Those men are my friends! Now let me go! Jack!" she cried out. The man shoved the cloth back into her mouth and lied down to sleep. Soon after the hyper one followed suite.
Hours later Sarah had gotten the ropes off of her ankles and the cloth out of her mouth. Just as she was about to get the ropes off of her wrists there was a sound. Suddenly Will's face appeared followed by Jack's. They smiled and cut the ropes off. More men from the ship came and the two captors woke up. Swords were pulled out before they could move and Jack stepped in front of them.
"What do you think you are doing with my daughter?" he said menacingly. There was no slur in his voice now.
The two men's eyes opened wide and they looked at me. "Uh, I'm sorry, mate. I didn't know she was yours. We just found her wandering the forest. We meant no harm, really!" he said with an Australian accent. Why hadn't she noticed it before?
"I don't believe you. Martin, give him the stick." Jack said and walked off. Will helped Sarah to her feet and shielded her. She struggled to see what Jack meant by giving them the stick when she heard the screams. The stick was a sword through their stomach. Sarah cringed and let Will lead her away.
"I'm sorry you had to witness that, Sarah." Jack said a while later. Sarah looked up at Will and then Jack. Then she lied down on her pallet and went to sleep.
About three hours later someone yelled that they found something. Everyone got their stuff together and made their way to the spot. Men began to get shovels and dig while Jack, Will, and Sarah watched. T took an hour until they got the chest unburied. Jack went up to it and hit the lock with a shovel. It popped open and fell off. Jack carefully opened the lid and frowned.
What was in the treasure chest? Was it gold? Or was it something else? If you want to know then just review and tell me to write more! I need at least three reviews to do it!!!
