Chapter 5- Off We Go

At 8:00a.m. Will, Angela and Romi were waiting at the bar where they were supposed to meet. No sign of Jack or the others yet. Finally 30 minutes later They all scrambled down the stairs from their rooms.

"Sorry, a little too much to drink last night." Mr. Gibbs was the first to speak. They all looked like they had been beaten to death minus the bruises.

Will looked at Jack. Arms folded. "Ye look like an old woman whelp."

"Yes well we had agreed to meet here at a certain time and we all did except for you."

"My humblest apologies. Now let's eat so we can get started."

After a big breakfast, they sat at the table and Jack pulled out the map and laid it in the middle. "Right then Romi, where exactly do we need to head to?"

"According to the map we need to go through this forest here to get to this side of the coast. That will probably take about a day or so, this forest is quite large. After we get through that we need to walk along the coast, the only problem is that it is full of cliffs and rocks so we need to be careful getting through that. It appears in the map that we will come across a series of caves at this point. It says, "El oro se va a encontrar en la cueva del oso." ( The gold will be found in the cave of the bear.)"

"Thanks luv, we should get some supplies we'll be needin' and get started on our way. Mr. Gibbs take the men to find the supplies we'll be needin'. Will come wit' me to get food and water. Ye girls should get a change of clothes. And shoes." Jack said as he looked at them with their dainty shoes on.

"Good idea Jack. Come on Angie, I've got some clothes and boots we can wear."

"We'll meet at Romi's house to get you when we're done." Will and Jack got up to leave. Mr. Gibb's and the men left to get the supplies.

On the way to Romi's house Angela just had to ask. "Romi, are you smitten with Jack?" She felt her cheeks burn red. "Maybe. Don't you think he's handsome?" "I guess so. Just be careful. He is a pirate after all." Romi just sighed as she smiled at this, "Yes he is."

They arrived at her house and Romi found some pants tucked away in a trunk. She tossed a pair at Angela then grabbed a couple of shirts and some boots she hadn't worn since she was 16. Thank goodness they were still in good condition.

The girls got dressed and walked out the door and waited for the men to arrive. They both had on, practically, the same outfit. A pair of black baggy pants that tied at the top with a sash, defining their small waists. The shirts were white and also baggy tucked into the pants with sleeves that flared to their wrists. The boots were black leather.

The men were walking up to Romi's house, Jack and Will stopped and just stared at Angela and Romi.

"What? Is there something the matter?" Angela asked looking down at her outfit.

Will stuttered a bit, "A-Actually nothing is the matter."

Jack not being a bit shy spoke up. "I never thought I would be attracted to a lass wearin' men's clothes."

Romi blushed furiously at this, and Angela just grinned at Will. "So you think I look attractive like this Will?"

"Well it's not to say you don't look attractive in a dress,I've just never seen you dressed like that before."

"Right then, let's be on our way please." Jack heaved a bag over his shoulder and began walking. Everyone else picked up their things and set off behind Jack. They made their way out of the village and began their venture into the forest. After a few hours of walking, Jack looked up at the sun. "We have about 4 more hours of daylight, what say ye we continue as much as we can now and make camp when the sun sets?" Everyone agreed and kept walking. Will up ahead next to Jack, Mr. Gibbs, Latch and Mr. Cotton right behind them and Angela and Romi took up the rear. Not that they were slower, by all means they seemed to be handling the long walk better than the men. They just wanted to stay behind so they could talk without being heard.

"It's quite obvious Jack likes you Romi. Has he said anything to you?"

"Not quite, I mean last night he walked me home, and he was quite the gentleman, which is quite odd for a pirate. Although he was rather fresh after you and Will left."

"He didn't try anything did he??"

"No just insinuated for something to happen. I was quite firm with him. So he backed off. You can tell he's a man that is not used to being turned down by women."

They giggled out loud and the others turned around to look at them. Jack and Will eyed them suspiciously.

Romi spoke up. "What? Can't we talk."

Jack and Will just looked at each other and shook their heads. Which caused the girls to laugh out loud even harder.

The sun finally began to set. They all laid their things on the ground. And Mr. Gibbs was busy pulling out the materials they had to make tents to sleep in. Angela and Romi had begun to make a fire in order to cook the meat they had. Romi looked up and noticed there were only 3 tents made. "Mr. Gibbs, are there any more tents?"

"No miss. This be all we have."

"How many people fit in those?"

"I would say 3 would fit in each tent just fine."

Romi turned to Angela, but she had gotten up already and was talking to Will. They glanced in her direction and just smiled. Will got up and made an announcement. "Listen up! Mr. Gibbs and Latch will be in one tent. Angela and I will share one, everyone else can have the rest."

Romi frowned and Jack smiled. "I don't think that will work Will. Why don't Angela and I share a tent and you and Jack take the other?"

"Aw come on now luv. I don't bite." Jack grinned from ear to ear.

"Angela don't you think that would be a better idea??"

"Actually, Will and I never get to have time like this."

"You can have your time when we get back." Romi was now talking through her teeth.

Angela looked at Will and slyly said with a wink, "Alright we'll see how things go."
