Well, I've found out how many chapters are left, and it's going to ch. 17!
That means only 2 more chapters to R&R, please do so! Now it's back to a
very adventure-packed chapter with Sparrow and the crew!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Night crept over the sea, surrounding the Black Pearl. The ship was moving swiftly, through the dark waters. Jack stood at the helm, the deck was barren. Off in the distance, on the horizon, he spotted the island in which they were searching for.
"All hands on deck!" He shouted and rang the bell. He started to hear the scurrying of feet and growling voices from below. As soon as the crew was on deck, up came Elizabeth and Will. Amera followed them, not even looking at Jack.
Anamaria took the helm as Jack came down the steps and into the crowd of pirates. "Listen up maties! In about an hour, we're getting' off and makin' our way into the caves of that island over there! Now we'll-" he stopped. The crew was listening and waiting for further orders; but, Jack realized what he had to do. He looked around at the crowd, then stopped when he saw Amera amongst them.
Amera was just a few feet from him, long dark hair back in its sassy bun, with her arms crossed and an evil glare. And at that moment, Jack did the unexpected. "Since this treasure hunt was never really my idea, you won't be taken orders from me." Everyone mumbled a little in confusion, including Will and Elizabeth.
"I think since the map belongs to Knightly, and she has been nice enough to share the gold with us, she should be your captain. Well.at least until we get our gold and get out of here!" Amera walked over to the center of the crowd, and Sparrow took off the sapphire necklace and handed it to her. She nodded in gratitude, and Jack grinned. Amera then spoke about the matter at hand, "Alright, this isn't gonna be easy. When we dock, we won't be alone. The Prowler will be there, and most of you know it's one of the most feared pirate ships in the Caribbean.much like this one. So, this is what we'll do."
It took awhile to explain the plan, but everyone finally understood as they came up to the rocky island. There was a huge cave in the center of it, with only a narrow waterway leading into it. They docked offshore, unseen by the Prowler by the fog. Everyone noticed that the crew had emptied from their ship, and were already inside the cave.
The crew got their weapons and supplies together, and row boats were lowered as pirates made their way over. Will and Elizabeth got in one with Gibbs and began to row over, even though Will didn't like the idea of Elizabeth coming along.
On deck, Amera tied her leather strap holding her gun and sword on, then put her dagger in her boot. She went over to a boat, and almost climbed in until someone put a hand on her shoulder. Amera stopped and turned to Jack. "Listen, I know I can't say anything that will make this better-" "Then don't Sparrow." Jack put his hands up in defense, "I just wanted to say.be careful. And I got your back." "Don't worry, I won't need it," She said in but a whisper and crept into the row boat as Jack followed.
~*~*~* It was a long time until they reached the deep dark cave. The crew waited until everyone was inside. Anamaria and Mr. Cotton stayed on the Black Pearl, to keep it protected just in case. Everyone pulled the boats ashore and headed into a large tunnel, which Amera knew about from her map.
"Blimy! This isn't just a cave, it's a tomb!" One of the pirates whispered. As they passed through the cave. They had a few torches lit, and they didn't see a pretty sight. There were skeletons everywhere, of pirates from long ago. Obviously, a fight had occurred, precisely seventeen years ago.
Everyone walked in silence as Amera thought about the past. She never really knew what happened here, because her uncle Fin wouldn't tell her everything about her parents death. However, she did remember the last time she saw them.
~*~*~*~*~*
There were gunshots everywhere. Pirates from the Prowler tried to enter the Knightly household. "Amera, sweetie, come with me!" Mrs. Knightly took her eight year old daughter and ran to their living room. She lifted up the carpet, revealing a secret door. She started lowering her daughter inside of it. "What's going on mommy?" The little girl was confused and tired, it was very early in the morning.
The mom looked behind her then looked back at her child, "Amera, whatever you do, stay down her until you father comes and gets you! Be quiet until then! I love you!" The woman hugged and kissed the girl one last time then shut the door and covered it with the carpet.
Pirates barged through the front door and the woman grabbed a sword for her defense. But, it was no use, they took her away, not knowing where the little girl was. But, the pirates didn't leave the house standing, they set fire to it. Luckily, it wasn't until a few moments later her father, Jonathan Knightly came in the burning house with his brother Fin. They opened the secret door and Fin picked the girl up and they ran out of the house.
"Fin, take her to a safe place, one of your friends house to keep her safe. Then, go to the docks and meet me at the Red Coral. We're getting my wife back! Captain Benjamin Kiedis has gone too far! If he wants me, he'll get me, but I won't let him have Wendy!"
The little girl, confused spoke up, "Daddy? Where are you going? I don't want you to leave!" Jonathan knelt before Amera and hugged her. "Darling, promise me something. Promise me you will live a long life and be happy. Do this for me." Then, he got up and took off his necklace and put it around the girl's neck.
"Keep this with you. I have a key hidden that will open it, when you find it, open it and use what's inside. Remember Amera, I will always love you!" The little girl started crying, "I love you daddy!" Then, Fin picked the girl up and took her away. Amera looked back, seeing her father, running towards the docks. Fin came back two weeks later, Amera didn't understand what he told her then, but she grew up, understanding that she would never see her father or mother again.
All Amera knew was that what happened all those years ago, happened on the very island, in that very cave she was in.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Well, this is ch. 16. It'll be more action-packed next chapter, the last chapter. Will Amera's past come back again? Can she really defeat Christopher? Does Jack love Amera? Will the passion they had ever surface again? Answer these questions guys, post them on my board & I'll see if your right or dead wrong! Plus, I'd like to know if you guys think I should make a sequel, opinions please! I've had and awesome ride with ya'll, don't come back now, ya hear? lol! ~midnightdreams87
