Here is another chapter for everyone. Hope you all enjoy. Once again there
is French in this chappie, but there will most likely be in a lot of them,
so please don't complain. Also, thank you to all my lovely reviewers
including: Sparrow'sGirl, Pirate-Lib, Aerial sparrow(), and MoOnBaYbEe.
Love you all so much!

And before Jack could reply, he was hit unconscious by the other captain. De la Beltraneja yanked Gemma from Jack's now limp form and dragged her outside. Once outside she noted how her whole crew was tied to the mast and how the other ship was ready to set sail. Figuring there was no way she could currently get out of this mess since she had left her sword on the bed, she thought of a different plan instead, one that will surely catch the captain off guard.

Chapter 10:
De la Beltraneja walked to his cabin aboard the Maiden's Wraith forcing Gemma in front of him. Throwing her against the bed, she let out a little yelp. He slid into his "throne" and slipped off his boots. Gemma sat on the edge of the bed nervously, twiddling her thumbs for relaxation. At last he spoke.
"So it appears ye don't speak a drop o' English, eh?" Frankie asked
Gemma said nothing and kept the same blank expression on her face to not blow her cover. She looked around the cabin and noticed how unwelcoming it was compared to Jack's.
"Well, apparently since that be the case..." he said as he walked out of the cabin shutting the door behind him. He soon came back with a younger looking man, fairly handsome, but nothing compared to the captain of the Black Pearl. Gemma stood to meet them at the door.
"Bonjour, madame. ceci est le capitaine De la Beltraneja. si vous seriez si gentil comme asseoir et joindre nous pour une conversation." He said. (Hello, ma'am. This is captain De la Beltraneja. If you would be so kind as to sit down and join us for a chat.)
"Oui, oui, bien sûr" Gemma replied. (Yes, yes, of course.)
"Tell her your name and what little venture we be on at the moment and why we need her. Also tell her that if she tries to escape, then we will resort to some sort of punishment." Frankie told the man.
All three of them sat at the table, the two male pirates passing drinks with each other. Gemma stared at the younger one and tried to figure out his personality. She herself was rather good at hiding her emotions. She had had much practice at her schools she was attending throughout the years. They all believed her to be sweet, innocent little Gemma, but really she was mysterious, divine, and beautiful Gemma. It may not have seemed that much of a difference then, but they found out before she was through with her years of education about etiquette. She absentmindedly started staring out the open window, praying to see a sign of the beautiful mahogany ship.
"MADEMOISELLE Doyle, mon nom est Graham. Nous ne signifie pas de mal à moins que vous essayez et échappez, dans lequel reconnaître devra vous être certainement puni. Nous cherchons actuellement le trésor de Timmy A Tracté et il semble que vous tenez la clef à la conclusion il." Graham translated to Gemma. (Miss Doyle, my name is Graham. We mean no harm unless you try and escape, in which case you will certainly have to be punished. We are currently searching for the treasure of Timmy Tew and it seems that you hold the key to finding it.)
Gemma thought all this through. So she held the key to finding a dead man's treasure? But where was it? And why had she never heard anything about it before now?
"Oh and another thing, please tell her that if she is wondering how I see her beautiful self, it is because I struck a bargain with the old clone at the marketplace."
"Si vous vous demandez comment il a su de votre vraie beauté, c'était parce qu'il a fait un marché avec la vieille vieille bique au marché" he said. (If you are wondering how he knew of your true beauty, it was because he struck a bargain with the old crone from the marketplace)
With that said, Gemma srtode over to De la Beltraneja and punched him square in the nose causing it to bleed and most likely, break.
"You little hellcat!" he shouted at her, not caring whether or not she understood him.
De la Beltraneja rushed out of his cabin to find the ship'd doctor, and left the girl to think by herself for a little while.
~BACK ON THE PEARL~
Jack awoke with a splitting headache and not to mention a thirst for his much desired companion: rum. He got up off the floor and headed towards his cabinet full of imported bottles, grabbed one, and started chugging it. After downing the bottle, he dropped it on the floor and walked outside. Once he stepped out of the cabin, he was not only met by the blinding sun, but by a many injured crewmembers as well.
Gibbs was at the head of the pack limping on his blood eaten leg, followed by Anamaria with a deep gash across her abdomen. The rest of the crew didn't look to beat up, but they surely didn't look too happy with the captain either. Fearing mutiny, Jack called a crew meeting in the galley.
Everyone sat down at the table or leaned against the walls, all staring at Jack who stood in front of the door.
"Me fellow scallywags, it seems we have come 'cross a teensy problem. That problem including the now missing Gemma."
As Jack said that the crew went silent. Now that they knew she was gone, they were all missing her presence, for a lot of them had grown fond of her for unknown reasons even to them.
"Now, I'm a thinking we should getter back soon. Ye see, she's got the key to ol' Timmy's treasure on Isla Mística. Theres more treasure on that isle than any ye've ever dreamed. Who with me when I say 'Let's go and get the lass!'?"
"Aye!" is all that could be heard over the crew's commotion. After the meeting, they all scattered about the ship. Some needed tending to, like Ana and Gibbs, so they set off to the Captain's Quarters. Others needed to scrub the blood off the decks. Everyone was making themselves busy trying to please the captain for more of the plunder that is to come.

Wow, that was a lotta French in this chappie! Sorry I haven't updated in a few, but now that schools back in session, I may not be able to update once a day like I used to. I will also be out of town this weekend. Im going rock climbing with my best friend. She has a story out, so you all should check it out. Her username is pirate-lib. Anyways, do me a favor and REVIEW! Perhaps it will make me write faster. But who says I don't have all the chapters written and I just wait to post them one by one? Ahhh, got ya there.....
Sparrow'sGirl: Well, I gotta say, you are the best reviewer yet! I'm proud to say that you're number one. You can thank yourself for my quick updates, because even though it may not seem like it, they inspired me a lot. Your stories are awesome and to be complimented like you do to me so often in your reviews just makes the ideas keep flowin like you said. I don't make any outlines or stuff like that. During school I like to think of ideas that will make the story more intriguing and that will spice it up a bit by doing stuff other people haven't. And I don't think anyone has done a Beauty and the Beast theme yet. So there's my little note to you!
