Amera lit a candle in her small home next to Uncle Fin's barn later that
night. She sat down in a chair at a table in her house and got out some
paper so she could start writing like she always did. She looked around for
a quill, but didn't see any. She checked some drawers, but there was no
quill. She tried to open the last drawer, but it was stuck. However, she
had a lot of strength for a girl, and forced it open. She paused. Inside
was a small key. Amera picked it up, then noticed her locket around her
neck. With her curiosity, she tried to see if the key fit. It did! She
opened up her father's locket and there was a tiny piece of paper inside,
folded up.
She unfolded it, and the paper turned out to be a map! It was of the Caribbean! She saw Port Royal, Tortuga, and many other islands she could name. But, there was one she didn't know of. There was a red line from Tortuga to that unknown island. Shes sure she hadn't seen the island before while out sailing on hers and Uncle Fin's ship, the Red Coral, and wasn't spotted on any map besides this on. With that, she put the map back in her pendent, locked it, put the key in her boot and headed towards the port.
Many people filled the streets tonight, fighting, drinking, girls running freely through. But Amera kept walking, she was use to this, she had lived here all her life, even though she had sailed to many places in the world. She walked into Marlin's Pub, looking for her Uncle Fin. There were bar fights going on all around, she didn't care though, her mind was set on her father's map. She had to find Fin!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Jack sat with Gibbs in Marlin's Pub as they drank some rum. "Well, Jack! That Will guy seems pretty useful after all, helpin' you out of gettin' hanged! He sure does take after Bill, don't he?"
Jack grinned, "Aye, I think he and his bonnie lass will be just fine. So, what do you think we should-" his voice trailed off. His eyes drifted to a rather beautiful girl that had just walked into the bar. She seemed to be looking for someone, ignoring the ciaos around her. "Uh, Jack? What were you sayin?" Gibbs gave him a puzzled look. Finally, Jack came back to reality. "Sorry mate. Our plans for the Pearl-"
They discussed their next destination for their ship and the crew. Jack finished his rum, and left with Gibbs, forgetting the mysterious girl.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "So I think we should take the Red Coral and sail to this island, I'm sure my father would have wanted me to do this." Fin downed his rum and looked up at her.
"Listen Amera, this island, I've been to it. Your father and me went there when pirates kidnapped your mother. There is lots of treasure there, but its too dangerous!"
Amera leaned in and gave him a stare, "Uncle Fin, who was the one who sailed the Red Coral out of the hurricane when you had that fever who years ago?" "You." "And who was the one who single-handedly shoe down that pirate ship, The Eliminator, with only two cannons?" "You, Amera." "And finally, who was the one who killed Mangrid the pirate, using only a dagger when he had two swords in Port Vincent just last year?"
"Okay!Okay! You've proven your point! I'll find some crew members and we'll sail out tomorrow to get this treasure!" They walked out of the pub and Amera turned to him, "This will be our greatest adventure yet!"
