Chapter 5

Aria awoke to the sound of someone struggling in the corner. Her head was throbbing. "Oooh... Where am

I?" She said a little dazed. "We're captives on that pirate ship we were fighting." said a voice from the corner.

"Samuel?" she said inching closer. "Yeah. From what I've heard from idle talk after they got a hold of us, they

retreated back to this ship and sailed away." he said quietly. " Did they mention my father?" she asked

quickly. " No, I'm sorry." he replied, coming and sitting next to her. "I hope he's alright." she said, Samuel

noticed her voice had gotten shaky. All of a sudden, she broke down into sobs. " I'm sorry... (sniff)... I don't

usually cry like this... It's just i've never been held captive before... for the first time in my life i'm truly

frightened..." she trailed off. Samuel put his arm around her. He was going to have to be strong for both of

them. " It's going to be alright. We're going to get out of this mess and I highly doubt your father will let

anything happen to you, and I won't either." he said, trying to sound brave. Just then a pirate came by and

brought them some food and water. He was tall, with a beard, and a red bandana tied around his head.

Samuel also noticed that several of his teeth were missing. "Stop yer snivelin' wench." he snarled. " Well ye

can go shove it where the sun don't shine, ye lily-livered searat!" she replied, but with half of her usual

confidence. The pirate laughed and stalked off. "Meet Dan, our guard." Samuel said with a smirk. This made

Aria smile. Well, at least he has a sense of humor, though he's not the best pirate, she thought as she looked

around. The dungeon was very dark, with a dank smell of fish and rum. "Are you feeling better?" said

Samuel, looking compassionately into her eyes. "Yes, thank you." she replied, blushing. Why is he being so

nice to me? After all I did to him on the Pearl? she puzzled. "Well then, I think we should focus on trying to

get out of here." he said with a smile. "These cells will be easy to get out of. My father has been teachinmg

me to make certain types of hinges, and these are half pin barrel. With the proper application of strength,

they will lift free." he explained. "Well what are we waiting for?" said Aria rushing to the door. But he held

her back. "Are you crazy? Even if we get out of this jail cell we'd just go right back in! We have to wait until

they land somewhere." he cried. "O-" she started, but was quickly silenced by Samuel. There were footsteps

coming down the stairs. Judging by the creaks of the floorboards, the person wasn't exactly petite. "Well

now! How are ye two fairin' down 'ere? Made friends wit da rats yet? Don' worry though ye'll be put out of

yer misery soon enough, after we make a quick stop-off in Tortuga." said the portly old pirate. He looked

quite old, with sickly yellow eyes, and he was completely bald on the top of his head, with long stringy hair

growing on the lower portion of his head. "When will we reach Tortuga?" asked Samuel, putting on his most

innocent face. " I'd say about tomorra afternoon, if the weather permits. But don' you worry about being

stole away durin' the stay, i'll be here ta keep watch o'er you." he said in a sickly sweet tone. He laughed as

he walked away. "Then we escape tomorrow, it might be our only chance." said Aria. Samuel watched her as

she tried to get in a comfortable position to sleep, seeing as their was nothing else to do. She makes herself

seem so tough, but inside, she's really...nice he thought as he went and sat next to her. He fell quickly into a

deep slumber.
