A/N: Lots of people seem to be confused about who is who, so I am going to
explain. On the other hand, if you like the suspense (I don't), then don't
read any further.
Caden: Bad Guy/Captain's son/he likes Claire
That 20-year-old girl: good guy/Anamaria's sister/in love with jack's brother/Alex's aunt
The man that Alex talked to: Bad Guy/Claire's kidnapper/Alex is working for him/he isn't the captain
There, I think that covers everyone I want you to hear about for now. TA!
Did You Know: Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff are in a HUGE fight right now. Over *Aaron Carter.* I pity them. I prefer the rock stars.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Pirates of the Caribbean. If anything, it owns me. I only own my Orlando Bloom posters. And the life-size cutout of Legolas.
CHAPTER 9: TENSION/THE SEARCH BEGINS
"Alex!" Claire said, and started to run over to him, but Caden stopped her by grabbing her arm. "Let go of me," she said. But he ignored her, and continued to stare at Alex, who stared right back. There was a deathly silence. You could cut the tension and hate in the air with a knife. Finally Alex spoke.
"You heard her Caden, let her go,"
"Maybe I don't want to let her go," Caden replied through clenched teeth. Claire got so scared that she finally yanked her arm from Caden and jumped out of reach.
"Good," Alex started, noting the situation. "Now Claire, I want you to go outside and wait for me. I have got business to attend to."
"What-" she started to ask, but was cut off by Alex giving her a dark look that clearly said 'your life is in my hands, so you better do what I want'. So, as Claire began inching her way towards the door, she saw Caden draw his sword. So did Alex. Alex glanced at her, and she immediately ran out the door, and straight into the captain. She screamed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Alex heard the scream, but did not pay attention to it. Instead, he was locking swords with Caden. Both of their movements were graceful, each sword clinging to the other head on. (if you want a better picture in your head, just imagine the sword fight in POTC between Jack and Will.) Caden backed up to catch his breath.
"So Alex, do really like her? Or is it just me?" he asked, grinning.
"Don't you dare even think about Claire. I swear, you'll never come near her again, not while I'm around."
"Then I guess I better make sure you're not around anymore."
And the fierce fight began once more.
~~* *~* *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, we are off." Jack said as he finished explaining everything he knew about what was gone. They were now aboard the Black Pearl and getting ready to set sail.
"Of course you do know what you are doing, right, Jack?" Will asked, looking around the ship and noticing the crew running around like madmen, getting things ready for sailing the ship.
It took awhile for Will to say this. He had just run about 2½ miles to find the ship, because it had to be somewhere that people wouldn't find it.
"Yes, yes, we are going. Just sit back and relax Mr. Turner, and Claire will be with you soon. That is me promise." Jack said grinning.
"Oh alright." Will said as he plopped down, thinking of Claire. Where could she be? That was the only thing running through his mind.
The ship began to sail, heading South East, into the open sea, and Jack was once again using the compass that didn't work.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
She hadn't realized how late it had become. It must have been well after dinnertime, because the moon was shining. But this was not the main thing that was focused on Claire's mind. What was, on the other hand, was a skeleton in ragged pirate's clothes that stood before her, grinning. She screamed, and kept on screaming, until the skeleton finally clamped a hand over her mouth and said in a hushed whisper:
"Stop screaming. You'll draw attention to yourself. Oh, where are me manners? Me name is Captain Fredrick Barbossa, and I own this here ship." He smiled, and removed his hand.
Claire didn't stop screaming.
What she saw was so horrifying, she couldn't stop. Everywhere, everywhere she looked, there were skeletons, just like the one before her. They all didn't seem to notice that they were skeletons, just walking around, doing the nightly chores on the ship.
Then it all clicked.
These skeletons-pirates, people-were victims of the curse. The curse of the Black Pearl. The curse of the medallion. And they needed *her* blood to make it go away. No wonder they kidnapped her.
"ALEX!" Claire screamed, praying that he would come out of that door and protect her.

General Norrington was barking orders to all his captains, commodores, and lieutenants. Anamaria and Elizabeth watched, but not really noticing.
"General," Elizabeth began, "That's my daughter and husband out there. Make me proud."
A/N: Some people are saying that I should just get rid of Caden, because he makes the plot too confusing. And the twenty year old girl. Should I? It's all up to you! REVIEW!! And I would also like to thank Reese Sparrow, for reviewing on EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER!!!! She rocks!
