mistake! I'm too old! I'm actually supposed to be 18! Oops! BIG oops!
Partouf pointed this out to me. I'll be making corrections throughout the
whole fanfic. Again, I'm sorry for the misinformation! Enjoy the NEW AND
IMPROVED chapters. **
Alright!

MY MISADVENTURE IN THE CARIBBEAN!
************************************************************************
It was a nice, sunny, too-stereotypical Caribbean day.
I was wearing a pea-green tank top, with light blue capris and black beach sandals, and a blue bucket hat was perched atop my flaming red hair, with my moss-green eyes peeking out from underneath the rim.
I was happy to be here, except for one small, eensy teensy problem.
I was stuck inside our hotel room, unpacking my underwear and socks.
My mum had decided to take a vacation to the Caribbean, and had invited me along, seeing as she was 51 and in need of watching in case she made a fool of herself.
'Jillian, I need your help! I can't find my glasses!'
'Mum, they're perched atop your HEAD!'
See what I mean? Without me, it'd be chaos.
Utter chaos.
Anywho, I quickly overturned my bag into one drawer, slammed it shut, and said to mum as I ran by 'Hey, I'm going down to see the beach, okay? I'll be back in an hour! You stay here and read, okay?' Mum just smiled, and said 'Wear your hat, it's a sunny day! And call me if you're in any trouble!'
'Yeah, I know, mum!' I called over my shoulder, and grabbed my small blue backpack from the pile of luggage by the door, slinging it over my shoulder. I practically leaped down the stairs, still acting like a child at my age, and I skipped through the lobby, ignoring the stares I got from some of the 'finer' people staying there.
My insanity escalated when I ran down to the beach, and I pulled off a wonderful cartwheel, shrieking 'YAHOO!' at the top of my lungs. Sand flew everywhere, and I ran for it as a couple of vacationers ran after me, shouting insults. I ducked past people, running full out, and laughing at the same time. The shouts became fainter, but I kept running, and I found a small rock crevice which I could just fit into.
I slid between the two rocks, and found that I could actually slide all the way to the other side! I sidled through, and came out into a rocky cove, with shells and seaweed littering the jagged rocks. 'This has to be the BESTEST PLACE EVER!' I squealed, and I hopped from rock to rock, picking up shells and stuffing some nice ones into my bag. I never even noticed how late it was getting, until I looked up and stretched, finally seeing how low the sun was in the sky.
'Shit, I have to get back! Mom'll be, like, so worried about me!' I swore, and turned to go back. But, as I had wandered about, I had . . . . Lost my way.
Go figure.
My mind was filled with panic, and whenever that happened, my body went numb. So, basically, I couldn't feel the water lapping around my sandals until I looked down. I snapped my head up to look out at the sea, and saw that the tide was coming in fast. I ran away from the water, looking for anywhere on a higher level. But, the cove was surrounded by tall, steep cliffs. I wasn't going anywhere.
I was about to just sit and think about my present situation, when I saw a small cave, with a slope leading upwards in it. ~Thank you, Spirit! ~ I thought, and ran for the cave. I scrambled up the slope, finding handholds in the jagged rocks, and suddenly the slope stopped. I was in a deep cavern, long and wide, with a low roof. So low, in fact, I hit my head whilst trying to stand up. 'Aww, feck! Shit that hurt!' I yelled, and my voice echoed loudly, causing a few chunks of stalagmites to fall loose, thankfully missing me.
I began to walk through the cavern, taking note of what was around me, for. . . .mapping purposes. Since I wasn't looking down, I stepped into a small 'pothole' filled with cold water, and scraped my foot against something. I stepped out of the puddle, and looked down at it, seeing a small round disk- like thing resting on the shallow bottom. I reached in, and fished it out, holding it closely to my eyes to find that I was holding a doubloon.
'Kewl, gold!' I said gleefully, and tucked it into my pocket, surging forward once more. I was getting very bored very quickly, and I decided that I was most assuredly lost, until I saw a blinding light at the end of the tunnel.
And, no, I was not dead. Or insane, for that matter. I checked, believe me.
I rushed towards the end of the cave, and suddenly the blinding quality of the light faded out into a normal, day-like light. I slowly made my way to the opening, and stepped out . . . . . . . . . . . .
Onto a sandy beach. 'What the feck is going on here?' I asked myself aloud, looking around me. The sun was high in the sky, about noon, and I heard the chatter of people to my left, and the strangest thing was the large ship anchored out in the bay. 'The. . . .Dauntless . . .!' I read, squinting a little in disbelief, and then looked around me.
Two guards were standing near the docks close to a smaller ship, and there was a large fort on the cliff above me, looking out over the very familiar bay. . .
Realization dawned on me as I said to myself 'Holy shit, I'M IN PORT ROYALE!!'
***************************************************************
And, there we is!
I'm really sorry that I didn't get to updating sooner, but with Midterms and all, it's getting kinda busy.
So, I'd like to thank the 5 people who reviewed for this, and I hope that they'll review again, along with others!
