Jess.

Our boat was docked and we had to continue underwater. We couldn't let ourselves be seen, so we swam most of the way. When we reached the island the opposition was heading to we ran into the forest, and waited. The pirates swarmed by, it started as a storm, and ended a drizzle. Beth came with the last of them, screaming and stuggling. Jack was about to jump out, but dad and I held him back. He whimpered, and lay on the ground. Eventually the last pirate came by, drunk. She was laughing and was carrying rum. "Now!" Will whispered to me, and I leapt onto the girl. I pulled her back, and the three of us stripped her. I put on her clothes, and picked up the rum. "Now remember, you have to act drunk, but don't attract attention. You have the map, so be careful. Remember where you have to take them." Jack said, deadly serious. I nodded and walked into the cave.

It smelt bad. My clothes stank of alcohol. I hated the stuff. I walked into the cave, and joined the pair who were dragging Beth. "Took your time Terry!" One grunted at me. "Well, you know what rum does to yooou." I slurred, making my eyes go dozy. He chuckled. "So, whaaat are you going to doo with the girl?" I whispered. "You know perfectly well. She's one of the others, and when you sacrafice them, they give us power. I would have thought you knew that, you were the one who told us." I laughed, but I was shocked inside. Beth was part of an organisation to stop bad pirates. She couldn't actually be in them, because she's only young, but she must be the daughter of them.

We met up with the others, and the smell grew. I coughed to breath, and some of them looked at me. "Well, where do we go then?" The seemingly leader snarled. "You have to go left, and then right." I motioned. Little did they know, I was leading them into a trap. All my crew, and all of Jack's were waiting there, and we are going to get Beth back.

They all walked that way, and I walked behind them, keeping an eye on the kid. "Here take this piece of rubbish, she's too much trouble for me!" He threw Beth at me, and I caught her. I took her hand. "Beth, i'm Jess, i'm here to save you. Now be quiet and it'll be over soon." She laughed, but quietly. She was so sweet. Snap out of it Jess, you have a mission at hand.

They turned the corner, and walked to the end of the tunnel. "You took us the wrong way! You insolent cow!" The leader screamed, whilst others pushed me to the front. He held a sword to my neck. "Now, tell us where to go. Or else." He drew a finger across his neck. "I wouldn't tell you, not on my life."

Suddenly, 40 or so men charged out of the cave holes. The leader grabbed my hand and pulled me away from the battle. It was pirate on pirate. I saw blood everywhere. I saw Will half a pirate with a mere sword. I saw Jack take a punch and give one.

"So you think you can outsmart me?" He raged. "Well I have something for you" He raised his sword, and plunged it into my stoumach. He clasped a hand over my mouth to stop me from screaming, and he propped himself up against a wall. I fell straight down, leaving a trail of blood. He took his sword out, and went to join the battle.

It went all hazy. I touched the wound, and a ripping pain unleashed inside of me. I screamed, and fell onto the ground. I was breathing faster. So this is what dying's like.

Dad came over to me. "Jess! NO!" He cried, feeling his pocket, looking for something to stop the bleeding. "Dad, it's to late." "No its not! Baby don't go!" He held onto me tightly. "I love you. Tell Mum I love her for me. And give my hopes to Jack." "Please don't go" Dad whimpered. "I have to."

And then, it was over.
