Chapter 14
I fell forward at the sudden jolt of movement on the ground beneath our feet. It felt as if the whole world were being cracked into like an egg.
Just when I was beginning to believe the man that cried 'Cave in', the rumbling stopped. I uncovered my head and looked around cautiously before letting my eyes fall on the wall that once stood between me and my fathers treasures.
It was gone, revealing a dark, twisting tunnel, leading down into the depths of the caverns. My arm was seized and I was pushed to the front of the group, coming close to taking a tumble down the stone stairs. "Lead the way dea'ie."
I flinched, looking from Boone, back to the staircase, dark and damp. With a sigh, I took a lantern from the hands of another gruesome looking man, and held it out from my body. The light lit only a small portion of the stairs, leaving where they led still un-seen.
I took a step forward, downward, glancing back to see if they were following. They were. I was almost shoved down the stairs but, caught myself before I fell.
With a growl, I continued my path toward the everlasting darkness. It seemed that the staircase was forever leading downward.
I sighed and leaned against the wall, rubbing my feet, only protected by a thin layer of slipper like shoes. "Get goin' wench.."
I rolled my eyes and continued, lifting the lantern high in the air. And, with a final step, we were on the level ground, staring at yet another door.
It was a wooden door, as if this were simply a hallway in a house and on the other side was a bedroom with a cozy bed, with warm blankets. I found myself daydreaming of just that. A nice cozy bed, with Jack.
Jack.. It was the first time I actually thought of him since we arrived at the island. How I would love to hear him call my name.
I strained my ears, desperatly wanting to hear an echoing voice shout 'Madison!' from atop the staircase. But..alas, nothing came.
I had beaten most of the men down the stairs and was indifferent on if they could see their way or not. Infact, I'd be glad if I heard one come crashing down right about now.
I sighed and pushed the door back, letting it creak on it's old, rusting hinges. I narrowed my eyes and peered into the now open door, lifting the lantern so I could brighten the dark room.
When the light from the three candles shown into the room, my eyes felt as if they had popped out of my head.
Thousands and millions of tiny gold coins, glittered from the light onto my face as I stepped in. My eyes found a small hole in the ceiling, letting light pour into the room in the far corner.
My mind went reeling and on a split second decision, I slammed the door behind me, pushing a chest full of treasures infront of it, so they could not enter.
After another two were placed behind it and on top of it, I turned, running toward the opening. My feet slid on the gold, but I finally mounted the monsterous mountain.
I could barely grasp the edge of the opening but, with a jump, I could easily pull myself up through. From the door, there was a sound of men beating on the wood, shouting obscene names at me and ordering me to open the door.
"Not on your life..." I knealt down and started stuffing my pockets, stockings, shoes and the space between my breasts with gold and jewels. They were filling up quickly and before I could shove another peice of gold in an extra space, shots were fired from beyond the door.
I gasped and stood up as the door was blasted with holes. That was all it took to make me decide that I had enough gold. I leapt up and lifted myself up into the opening, letting the sun shine on my face.
My eyes closed until they were adjusted to the sudden burst of sunlight. As soon as I stood up completely, I looked around, finding myself in a valley, hidden behind two mountains.
With my pockets full, I bit my lower lip and ran North, knowing that's where Boone's ship had came into the island.
