Chapter 14: Escape and Capture

I can not even begin to explain to extent of Samantha's boredom. She had been sitting there for the longest time and after a while, she became less and less afraid of the incredibly ditzy pirates.

"... and so that is what forks and spoons are used for." She smiled at them as they all nodded their head in unison, as if they were learning for the first time how to use kitchen utensils properly.

Samantha was still sitting on that rock while the other three pirates around her were either sitting on other rocks near by or sharpening swords and things of that sort.

Samantha eyed the sword warily as the pirate put it down. She remembered where it was, though, so she could use it for future reference. It might come in handy later.

"So, you guys, can you let me go? I haven't caused any trouble and I didn't even do anything wrong... Please?" She said pleadingly, looking at them.

The pirates looked at each other and began laughing at her.

"I think not, love. Yer not goin' anywhere." One chuckled.

Samantha grimaced and slouched down. She couldn't even put her head in her heads because her hands were still tied behind her back.

Even though Samantha has been around Danielle for so long that it has affected the way her brain works, she'll get an idea every once in a while. An idea that is not so insane or far-fetched. An idea that might actually work.

And at that moment, Samantha just so happened to get one of those ideas.

She knew that pirates who were on the island waiting for the Black Pearl were not the sharpest pencils in the box, so they could be easily fooled. And since they were not even paying much attention to her anymore, she took complete advantage of that.

"What was that?!?" Samantha said in a scared way.

In all truthfulness, Samantha didn't hear anything at all besides the pirates moving around. But this was all part of her plan... which she wasn't actually making up as she went along. She really did have everything planned out in her head. But, of course, things would get screwed up along the way. They always do.

"What was what?" One of the pirates said suspiciously, turning to her.

"Th-That noise." She said. "There! There it is again! Sounds like someone else is here." She whispered. She was such a liar...

"Maybe we should go check it out." One pirate said to the other two.

And so began their brief, but confusing argument.

"Yeah. Let's go."

"But wait. What about the woman?"

"Eh, leave her here. She ain't goin' no where."

"Aye. And besides, there's one of her and three of us."

"But she could run and hide. Do you realize what Barbossa would do to us if that happened? Or if he knew the lass was even on the island at all?!? He'd have our heads!"

"We can't die. 'Member?"

"Right... But we still shouldn't leave her here."

"Who CARES, you blundering idiot!!"

Aye, let's go to see who was makin' that racket."

"What racket!?! We didn't even hear anythin'!! So we're just going to trust our captive?!?"

"Would you three just shut up and go see what the hell was making that noise!!" Samantha yelled.

" 'Ey!! Shut yer trap, lass! We be making the decisions around 'ere!!" One pointed a menacing finger at her and glared.

"Ok, ok." Samantha said. "I just really think you should go see who's out there before they steal your gold." She shrugged her shoulders indifferently.

The three pirates, who obviously never thought of that before, looked at each other in surprise.

"Maybe we oughta go look." One said.

Samantha rolled her eyes. Back to square one, she thought.

All three then ran off in separate directions, hoping to catch whatever 'person' was stealing their gold.

Samantha sighed in relief. "Finally. Now to get out of here."

Samantha slid her tied hands under her legs until they were no longer behind her back. She heard the pirates walking around so she knew she had to be quick. If she was found, she would certainly be killed on sight since she wasn't even supposed to be on the island anyway.

She found a sword lying near by, probably a stolen one from all of the towns they've plundered. It was the sword that one of the pirates had been sharpening earlier. Samantha just knew it would come in handy.

She grabbed the sword and found a patch of hard, crusty dirt and she shoved it into the ground with all her might. She then rubbed the rope against the blade of the sword until the rope became thinner and thinner. It might've taken a few minutes but the rope was finally completely frayed. She took it off her hands and threw it to the side.

"I don't see anyone! There's no one here!!!" Samantha could hear one pirate yell in the distance.

Samantha then made a mad dash out of the large opening and into one of the corridors of the cave. She found a small window-like opening and peeked through. In the large opening she had once been in, she saw the three pirates searching for her. One of them had the torn rope in their hands and they were looking at the sword she had left in the ground.

She wanted to hit herself in the head for leaving that sword there. "Damnit!" She whispered. "I knew I shouldn't have done that!"

"I told you idiots she would leave!" Samantha heard one yell at the other two. "I told you, and now she's gone!"

Samantha knew they would come looking for her so she had to run. She didn't know where to, but she had to leave. She turned and ran. This way and that. She couldn't remember how to get back to the row boat she had come on, but that was gone anyway. She knew she would have to come to water and a boat sooner or later.

She was running out of breath when, by a complete stroke of luck, she came to a small opening. She stopped as she looked around in shocked happiness. This was where she had gotten into the cave. Everything was familiar and there was water and a boat!!! The thought ran through her head and her smile grew.

She didn't know where the boat came from, and she really didn't care because she now had a way out. But this boat actually belonged to the pirates that had captured her.

She noticed that there were no paddles. She tilted her head back in frustration. If only she knew that Will had taken all the paddles, she would surely kill him, if, of course, she wasn't killed by the pirates first.

She whipped around when she heard the pirates coming. She quickly hopped into the boat and knelt down. She expected that there would be paddles and when there weren't, she had no other better plan than to use her hands for primitive paddles.

She got about twenty to thirty feet away from where the boat had originally been when the pirates came around the corner and saw her. They were standing there in anger watching her paddle away.

Samantha looked over her shoulder, smiled and waved. "Thank you for letting me get away!!"

She watched as one pirate punched another right in the face and the third one pulled him away.

"You FOOL!!" He yelled.

Samantha laughed and she turned around and continued on her way, the yells of the pirates echoing off the walls of the tunnel. They couldn't even go after her because she took the last boat.

She looked down below her, and since the water she was paddling on was only about three feet deep, she could see to the bottom. There was numerous gold coins and other shimmery artifacts at the bottom. She wanted to reach for some, but she didn't want to risk falling into the water.

She just paddled and paddled and paddled until she finally reached the outside of the tunnel.

***

As they got on deck, Danielle went her way and Jack went his.

Danielle was on the deck of the Black Pearl. She was just another body among the mass confusion. People were stabbing and shooting each other or just pushing one another off the deck and into the cool waters below.

While Danielle was on deck, she noticed Barbossa. She knew that if he saw her, he would just lock her back up again. Or even worse, he would just kill her. And since she wasn't prepared to die, she kept her distance from him.

She desperately wanted to see Will and give him a big bear hug. And when she saw him from a distance she wanted to yell in happiness. But she couldn't get to him. And after only a few minutes up on deck, she seriously wanted to go back below deck. There were people and pirates everywhere and she was terrified that she would get knocked off the ship and she would get eaten by sharks or just drown. Those seemed to be her two worst fears lately.

she ran below deck and just as she was running past all the pirates at the cannons, someone grabbed her arm and she almost fell.

"Sorry, Miss Danielle. We was wonderin' what happened to you." And that would be Ragetti.

Danielle looked down at them and her fear strickened face filled with relief. "Hi, how's it going, guys?" She knelt down beside them.

Without warning, the Interceptor fired again on the Pearl. Forks, knives, and spoons came hurtling through the Pearl.

Danielle gasped as she saw that a fork almost hit Pintel. She and Pintel looked at it for a moment and then looked at each other. They glanced over at Ragetti and, when he turned to look at the two, he had a fork stuck in his wooden eye.

Danielle looked shocked and thoroughly upset. Pintel took it out but Ragetti's eye came along with it. When Pintel finally gave Ragetti's eyes back, both looked out at the Interceptor and growled ferociously. Danielle was quite pissed too.

She stood up for a moment and dusted herself off.

"Hey, where you goin'?" Pintel asked. "Aren't you gonna help us fight?"

Danielle really didn't want to help the bad guys, but she also had another excuse as well. "I need to see someone." It was all she said and she turned around and walked away.

Pintel and Ragetti shrugged their shoulders and continued firing their cannon.

Danielle ran on deck. She wanted to talk to Will. She suddenly didn't care about anything else at the moment.'Perhaps I can talk him out of marrying Elizabeth', she thought nastily to herself.

She stopped when she reached the deck. She looked around and when she saw Will, she ran for the Interceptor.

But suddenly, someone grabbed her by the back of her shirt and pulled her back. She knew, she just knew that it was Barbossa.

She felt breath on the back of her neck and a creepy chill ran down her spine.

"Where ya think your goin?' " Barbossa said as he turned her around and led her back below deck. "Yer supposed to stay down here, lass." He said in an eerily calm way. But the tight, death-grip he had on her shirt said he wasn't feeling calm in any way.

"Please, don't keep me locked up down there!!!" Danielle said, trying her best to look back at him.

He ignored her and led her into another cell and locked her in. "If I see you out of here or if you try to escape, I WILL kill you. You understand? And don't you dare doubt me." He was using that dangerous tone again that was just screaming at Danielle to keep her mouth shut, and so she did. She nodded her head and Barbossa smiled evilly at her and then walked away.

It was very wet down there in her cell. Water was was sloshing everywhere and Danielle's dress was in another cell. So Danielle was stuck sitting on the wet ground. She was hungry and tired, but the only thing she was actually capable of was sleep. And so, she slept. She leaned up against the side of the side, wet or not, and she closed her eyes, knowing that soon Will and the rest of the Interceptor crew would be there.

Danielle sat and sat and sat... and waited and waited and waited. She seemed to be doing a lot of both lately.

And soon, she just wasn't capable of sleep anymore. She was to restless because she knew what would soon happen.

She listened to the noise outside die down and the final cheer of the Pearl pirates. She heard the Interceptor crew come on board and then she heard the explosion of the Interceptor in the distance. Then she heard silence, but if she listened hard enough, she could just barely hear Will talking to Barbossa on deck. And after a while, she heard two bodies splash into the water, which, of course, would be Elizabeth and Jack.

And so Danielle knew the time had come when she could see her lovely, lovable, loving William.

When Will was brought below deck along with the rest of the Interceptor crew, Danielle was absolutely speechless. But what was even more surprising was that Will was put into the same cell as Danielle.

Weren't expecting that, were you? Wait, no, you might've been.

So the Interceptor crew was in one cell and Will and Danielle were in another.

Danielle stared at him in awe. She wanted to give him a big hug and just scream "I love you". But she didn't. She just stared, which scared him a bit so he stood on the other side of the cell.

"A-Are you Orl- I mean Will Turner?" Danielle asked him. She already knew that question but she just wanted him to talk to her. Kind of obsessive, huh? But we already went over that in the first chapter.

"Yes, yes I am. How did you know?" Will asked as he turned around to look at her.

"I know a lot of things." She smiled. Then she began counting off her fingers. "I know you're father was a pirate, you're a blacksmith, you're not on good terms with Jack Sparrow right now, you were given a pirate medallion by your father when you were a child, and you're in love with Elizabeth Swann." She said the woman's nmae with slight disdain.

Now it was Will's turn to stare in awe. "Who are you?"

"I'm Danielle. I'm a clairvoyant." She smiled pleasantly and she looked over Will's shoulder at the rest of the Interceptor crew to see that they were staring in amazement at her as well. Of course, we already know she's not a real clairvoyant.

"Oh." Was his simple response. He really couldn't think of any other answer. And he wanted to comment on her clothes, but he thought better of it.

You're probably wondering why Danielle didn't just jump on Will. She didn't for one simple reason: she wanted to give a good impression. She didn't want him to think she was some kind of rabid fangirl, although their weren't exactly 'fangirls' back then.

And so there was silence for quite some time. All that was heard was the gentle rocking of the boat as it sailed to the Isla de Muerta.

Oh no!!! But this chapter doesn't end yet!!!

After a long time of silently waiting for what everyone but Danielle considered their doom, Pintel and Ragetti came below deck with some old mops and a very nasty bucket of smelly, filthy slime. They began mopping and so began everyone's conversation.

" 'Ello Miss Danielle!! How are ya?" Ragetti said as he held the mop in his hands.

Danielle smiled nicely. "Hi you two."

"We would let you out, but Barbossa gave everyone direct orders to keep you locked up. Sorry." Pintel said with an apologetic look on his face.

"That's ok." She said. She knew they meant no harm.

Will looked at Danielle, who was now at the front of the cell with him, in confusion. "You know these two?" He said in an almost disgusted way.

She didn't like the way Will said that. "Yes I know these two. They're my friends!" Danielle said, looking at Will defiantly.

Will looked back at Pintel and Ragetti. "You knew William Turner?" He said.

"Ol' Bootstrap Bill? We knew him." Pintel said darkly. Never sat well with Bootstrap what we did to Jack Sparrow, the mutiny and all. He said it wasn't right wit the code, that's why he sent off a piece of the treasure to you as it were. He said we deserved to be cursed... and remain cursed." He just glared at Will as if he was the one who did something wrong.

By now, everyone was listening to Pintel.

"Stupid blighter." Ragetti mumbled.

"Ragetti!! Watch it!" Danielle said.

"Sorry." Was his reply.

"But as you can imagine, that didn't sit to well wit the Captain." Pintel said, still leaning on his mop.

"That didn't sit too well with the Captain, at all. Tell him what Barbossa did." Ragetti said, lightly punching Pintel in the shoulder.

"I'm telling the story!" Pintel barked.

"Pintel!! Be nice!" Danielle said.

"What are you?" Will said sarcastically to Danielle. "Their mother?"

Danielle didn't like his attitude, but she still thought he was absolutely gorgeous. "No. More like a supervisor or chaperone... Or perhaps I'm just a third party in their friendship." She said.

Pintel continued talking. "So, what the Captain did, he strapped a cannon to Bootstrap's bootstraps."

"Bootstrap's bootstraps." Ragetti chuckled. Pintel ignored him.

Will leaned forward against the bars and he looked solemnly at the two pirates.

"The last we saw of ol' Bill Turner, he was sinkin' to the crushin' black oblivion of Davy Jones's Locker." Pintel stopped his dark attitude for a moment and suddenly his voice became less harsh. " 'Course, it was only after we knew we needed his blood to lift the curse."

"That's what you call ironic." Ragetti said. Pintel nodded his head in agreement.

Without warning, Barbossa, along with a few other pirates, stormed down the stairs leading the the brig. He tossed Ragetti the keys to the cells. "Bring him!" He growled. "And bring the woman too."

Ragetti unlocked the cell Will and Danielle was in and they brought the two onto the deck where they were led into a small row boat. Barbossa got in with the two and so did Pintel and Ragetti.

The two wanted to tell Danielle that they would let her escape if they could, but Barbossa was near by and they couldn't risk it.

This boat, along with several others, floated along to the Isla de Muerta, which was only a few hundred yards away from the Black Pearl. They went into the cave another way than the way Samantha escaped, or else they would've seen her.

Samantha didn't see them either.

So once more, the girls never caught sight of each other even when you think they would.
