Chapter Ten: A New Plan
"Cap'n! They're coming!" said Bósun as he came into the room.
Barbossa grinned, revealing rotting teeth. "You know the plan," he said to him. Bósun laughed and walked out of Lissie's and Beth's room.
"Not a word," Barbossa whispered to them dangerously, and he too left.
Will and Jack came in.
"Lissie!"
"Beth!" they said, running over.
"Are you two all righ'?" asked Jack.
They nodded, but Lissie quickly said, "It doesn't matter about us anymore! Just GET OUT—"
"No," said Will firmly.
"We're not leavin' ye two," said Jack.
Beth rolled her eyes. "You're wasting time! GET OUT—"
"I thought I warned you, Beth."
All four of them looked around at the doorway at the same time. Barbossa was standing there, along with a few others behind him. He looked at Will.
"Throw him to the sharks!" he yelled. Then, his gaze turned to Jack. "This one, I want with me."
Two pirates each plunged toward them, grabbing their arms and dragging them out of the room.
"LET ME GO!" Will roared.
"I thought I already went through this…TWICE!" Jack screamed.
Beth and Lissie started to run toward them, but Barbossa locked the door. They were trapped.
"NOOOOO!" Lissie yelled, wet trails streaming down her cheeks.
Beth started banging on the door, running and throwing all her weight against it. "LET US OUT!" she screamed, tears also spilling out of her eyes.
Lissie bolted to the window, seeing Will in the water. She took a nearby candlestick and slammed it into the window, breaking it. Will caught sight of her, but he was pulled beneath the surface…
"NOOOO!" Lissie screamed, sitting bolt upright.
"What? What is it?" asked Beth quietly.
"WE'VE GOT TO GET OU—" but Beth suddenly put her hand over her mouth.
"SSH! Do you want Barbossa to hear you?!"
"Dream… the dreams have started again!"
"No dip," said Beth.
"No, but…" she explained how Will and Jack came, and how they would meet their deaths… Will would have a watery grave just like his father…
Beth put her hands over her mouth to keep herself from screaming, her eyes widening.
"We've got to stop them!" she said, jumping to her feet.
"How?! Beth, we don't even know if they got back here!"
"You were the one who said they'd do anything for us, how can you doubt that?!"
"Well, even if they did, we have no idea what so ever where they are, or where WE are!"
Beth fell silent. Just as Lissie opened her mouth to say something, however, Barbossa opened the door, seeing Beth still on her feet and Lissie still sitting on the ground, covered in cold sweat.
Since ye girls like to talk so much, I think me crew'd like it if they got a day off work tomorrow, if yer quiet, that is," he added.
They glared at him as he laughed and shut the door.
"Great, now we've got our work cut out for us," said Lissie.
"No! This could be a good thing!" Beth whispered, running back to Lissie. "He's probably going to put us up on the deck, so we may be able to see Jack and Will coming!" she said excitedly.
Lissie smiled. "If we see them coming…"
"We can warn them not to get near!"
"Thank you GOD!" said Lissie.
Finally, FINALLY, they had a plan!
