Mutants of the Caribbean
Scene Twelve: Admitting Your Cursed Is the First Step to Recovery

Kitty looked around the room she had been locked into. She was just trying to figure out the best way out when the door opened and Remy and John walked in.
"Yo'll be dinin' with mon Capitaine tonigh', Chere." Remy said as he held up a purple dress, "An' he requests yo' wear dis."
Kitty grimaced at the site of the dress, she hated purple. "Like, tell the Captain that I'm, like, disinclined to aqueace to his request."
Remy laughed, "Mon Capitaine said Chere may say dat." He looked at John and smiled, "Mon Capitaine also said data if data be dey case Chere'll be dinin' wit dey crew, an' yo'll be naked."
Kitty scowled and grabbed the dress.
Remy frowned, "Fine." He and John left Kitty to dress.

Kitty sat quietly at a table full of food. Eric smiled.
"You must be hungry."
Kitty started eating ravenously.
"Try the wine," Eric said, handing Kitty a goblet.
Kitty drank it.
"And the apples?" He said, holding a tray of apples out to her, "One of those next."
Kitty looked terrified, "It's poisoned!"
Eric laughed, "There would be no sense in killing you, Miss Alvers."
Kitty looked confused, "Then, like, release me, you hae your trinket; I'm no further value to you!"
Eric held up the medallion, "You have no idea what this is, do you?"
"It's, like, a pirate's medallion." Kitty answered.
"It's one from a set of 882 pieces sealed in a stone chest, all of them cursed; so that any mortal who removes one from that chest shall be punished for all eternity." Eric explained.
Kitty laughed, "I'm, like, too old to believe in ghost stories anymore, Captain Magneto."
Eric nodded, "We thought the same thing when we first heard the tale. A chest full of gold buried on an island that can not be found, except by those who already know where it is." He sighed, "We found it. There was the chest, inside was the gold pieces and we took them all." He handed the gold piece to Pietro, who had been serving them, "We spent them on food and drink and other worldly things. The more we gave them the more we came to realize-that nothing would satisfy our hunger or quench our thirst. We are cursed men, Miss Alvers. Once we were compelled by greed, now we are consumed by it. There is only one way to end our curse. All the gold must be restored and the blood repaid. Thanks to you we have the final piece."
Kitty's eyes were wide, "What about the blood repaid?" she hid a knife under her skirt.
Eric smiled, "That's why there would be no sense in killing you…yet." He held an apple out to her, "Apple?"
Kitty stood up and stabbed Eric. She gasped when he bled but didn't react to the stabbing.
"I'm curious," Eric said, grabbing Kitty's wrist, "What were you planning on doing after you killed me?"
"The moonlight reveals us for what we really are, not among the living nor the dead. For too long we have been dying of a thirst we cannot quench, we have been starving to death, but have not died. I feel nothing, not the wind on my face nor the spray of the sea. Not even the warmth of a woman's touch." He opened the door.
Kitty looked around in shock at the crew, who were all skeletons.
"You should best begin believing in ghost stories Miss Alvers; You're in one!" Eric growled as he stepped out of the door and into the moonlight. He suddenly changed into a rotted looking skeleton.
Kitty screamed, phased through Eric's grasp, and ran inside.
Eric and the crew laughed evilly. Eric stopped and frowned at the crew. "Back to work!" He yelled.
