Chapter 8- Unfamiliar Voices

Romi reached the edge of the river and saw it was wider and deeper than she originally thought. She removed her clothing and walked into the water. She decided to take a swim, but was startled just as she got all the way in by a noise in the bushes. "Who's there?" No answer. She raised an eyebrow and decided to dismiss it. Could have been just an animal sneaking around. She suddenly caught sight of a tri-corner hat right behind a rather large bush. Yup it was an animal alright. One called Captain Jack Sparrow.

"I know you're out there Jack! Stop being a peeping tom and show yourself."

Jack stepped out from behind the bushes trying to pretend as though he had no idea what she was talking about. "Ah there you are luv. Was just looking for ye."

"Mmmhhmm. You were looking for me on the floor behind a bush? Interesting."

This time it was Jack's turn to blush, and Romi laughed hysterically at this. "I don't see what's so funny."

"You may not, but I sure do." "Aha. So ye think you can laugh at me and get away with it aye?" Jack started to take his hat off, then his shirt. "Jack what are you doing? You better not come in here! Jack I'm warning you!"

Too late, Jack was completely naked and ran into the water towards her. Romi freaked and began swimming as fast as she could but to no avail. Jack was a skilled swimmer and caught up with her in no time. He grabbed on to her ankles and pulled her to him. They were both laughing now and tickling and just having a good time. Jack then pulled Romi closer to him and kissed her. She responded by putting her arms and legs around him. He explored her body with his hands and she gasped as his fingers slid down to her most sensitive part. She arched her neck back as he continued to caress her. Jack trailed kisses from her shoulders to her neck. He could sense that she was about to hit her peak by her moans and her rapid breathing. He stopped and began carrying her to the shore. "Let's go back to the tent." He said as he winked at her. Romi looked at him with pouting lips. "Ok, shame we don't have a blanket right here."

They both dressed hurriedly and made way back. As they approached Jack heard unfamiliar voices coming from the camp. He stopped and Romi looked at him curiously then understood, she too heard the voices and panic filled her. Angela! Will! What if something happened to them?

They crouched behind some bushes and peeked out at who was at their camp. Jack was furious, sure enough Angela, Will and his crew were tied up by their wrists and gagged. Their captor had his back to them and was giving orders to take the prisoners and the treasure back to their ship. As he turned around, Jack couldn't believe it. It was Captain Martinez. The very man he stole the map from. But it was impossible. He was left to drown! How could he have survived? Jack turned to look at Romi and saw she was frozen with terror. He held her close. "Don't worry luv, we'll save them." She couldn't respond.

Jack saw there were 3 others with the captain and quickly thought up a plan. "Romi see those swords over there?" She nodded. "I'm going to create a distraction by going in, I need you to make some noise when I prompt you too. But first I'm going to try and reach one of those swords. Here take my gun. Aim and shoot it when I say. Understand?" "Yes I do, but please be careful Jack." She looked at him with pleading eyes and he bent down to give her a kiss. "Nothing to worry 'bout luv, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow." He said with a wink.

He got up and scurried as quickly as he could towards the swords that laid on the floor, obviously they were thrown there when his crew were captured. He picked one up and gracefully just walked right into the camp. "Listen up you swine! " They all turned around and faced Jack, lifting their guns at the prisoners, Captain Martinez glared at him but Jack kept on talking. "Put ye'r guns down, my men have this camp surrounded and will shoot you all at my command, savvy?" The Captain just laughed at his demand. "You really think me a fool don't ye? Gentlemen, this be the Captain that sunk me ship. Shoot him!" He ordered.

Jack quickly yelled, "Shoot now!" Romi took aim and shot one of the crew. He fell to the floor and the others looked about in fright and shot towards the trees wasting their ammo. Captain Martinez took out his cutlass and ran towards Jack, before reaching him Jack had thrown the sword he had in his hands to Will who caught it in midair. Jack reached for his own cutlass and the sword fight had begun. Will quickly killed one of the two that were left and proceeded to engage in his own sword fight with the other. Lucky for him he was a good swordsman since his wrists were tied together. Romi fled the bushes and reached Gibbs she began to untie his wrists and the others. With Jack's crew free now and holding their swords, Captain Martinez and the last remaining crewmember dropped their swords to the ground. Jack walked up to the other captain. "How did ye manage to survive? And most importantly how did ye find me?"

"After ye left me in the ocean and blew up me ship, I managed to stay afloat on a piece of wood from the blast. I floated for a few days till I came ashore on an island. Lucky for me a merchant ship came nearby and spotted me. They picked me up and I agreed to work on their ship as payment. We sailed to San Juan where I managed to commandeer a ship and find me a small crew. I knew ye would come to Spain since ye had me map! When I arrived I asked questions and sure enough they heard about ye and the barkeep in a tavern overheard which way ye'd be goin' "

"That's interesting. And ye thought ye could find me and kill me and take me treasure aye?"

Captain Martinez gave him a glare, then caught sight of Romi. "Romina Ramos?" He let out an evil laugh. "Never thought I'd see ye'r pretty face again. By the way, how's ye'r father? Oh that's right, I killed 'im." Romi walked up to him and gave him a hard slap across the face. "I can't wait to see you die Martinez." With that she spat in his face. He just wiped it off and smiled at her. "You are a disgusting devil of a man." Just then he grabbed Romi, brought out his gun and pointed it to her head. "Lower ye'r weapons Captain Sparrow, or the girl dies." Jack was taken aback in shock. "Now Captain!" He dug the pistol harder against her temple. Jack and the others quickly dropped their swords. "And I'll be havin' me map back as well." With a look of contempt Jack fished out the map from his coat pocket and threw it at Martinez. The evil captain motioned for his crewmember to pick it up. He did and brought it to Martinez who then ordered him to tie them all up. A few minutes later, having them tied yet again, left the camp with Romi as their captive.

Jack was lucid with anger. He quickly began to loosen the ropes at his wrists and when he finally managed to break free of those and the ones around his ankles, he undid the ties on the others as well. "Mr. Cotton, Gibbs and Latch round up our supplies and the treasure and head back for the Pearl, get me men ready and take Angela with you. Will come with me, we need to get my girl back."
