Elvengirl10: Hello there everyone!!! Yes, I am back from vacation and ready for chapter six. And I hope that you all are to.
Sain: I'm not, cause I'm not in this story.
Elvengirl10: I'm sorry Sain, but it just doesn't work out that way. I'll put in my next one though, I promise.
Sain: Really?
Elvengirl10: (Nods)
Sain: Yes!!!!
Review (only one people, come on):
Firelien: Thanks. I thought bringing in Matthew and Serra might be interesting, and Jack Sparrow will have a larger presence in later chapters.
Elvengirl10: So yeah, this is just to tell you all that this chapter is actually chapters six and seven combined. You're all confused aren't you?
Everyone (readers and cast): (nods)
Elvengirl10: Right, thought so. Well you see, remember how this story came from a boring French class, just on paper? Well, I got up to chapter seven and didn't like the way the story was going, to many characters and such, so I am combining the two and winging it. So I hope you like it. Now, enough with my rambling and on with the fic.
Jaffar couldn't have been more right. The moment the girl walked in and saw Jack, she screamed. Ephidel, who was completely not expecting it, looked like he was going to strangle her. (A/N: And the evil side of Ephidel makes and appearance.)
"Serra, shut up!" said Matthew, appearing at the door. Leila backed away.
"But, there's a pirate!!!" she replied, or rather shrieked.
"Duh, it's a port town. There are lots of pirates. Now, apologized, you disturbed the other guests." Serra looked over. Every guest in the tavern was staring at her. There was a dead silence.
"Sorry." She said sheepishly.
"Okay heart, you can resume beating now," gasped Lloyd, toppling off his chair.
"He'll be fine," said Linus, helping him up.
"Well, that was unexpected," said Jack, "Now, where were we?"
"How about we resume in the morning?" asked Ephidel.
As it turns out, Serra and Matthew's room was right beside Ephidel's. There was a family of mice living in the building. Around midnight....
"Eeeek!!! Eeeek!!! Eeeek!!! Matthew, kill it!!!"
"Huh?" Matthew was still asleep.
"Kill the mouse!!!"
"What mouse? Serra, go back to sleep."
Finally, silence had settled in that room. Ephidel, unfortunately, had heard the whole thing. And the worst part was that he couldn't get back to sleep.
"Drat, stupid girl." Ephidel got out of bed and went outside. It was a nice night. Ephidel sat on the roof of the inn and contemplated his next move. ' The pirate could probably get us a boat,' he thought, 'But where the other pirates take Ninian? That's the real question.' He looked out at the ocean. He was slightly unnerved about the upcoming expedition, mainly because he didn't travel well across water. Off in the distance, a rooster crowed. Ephidel didn't care. Dawn had come to early for him. (One of my personal favourite lines.)
(This is where I abandon my script and begin to wing it. I hope you all enjoy it.)
At breakfast, Ephidel discussed the location of where the pirates had gone with Jack.
"They probably went to their island."
"Oh, and where's that?"
"It's an island that cannot be found, except by those who already know where it is."
"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Limstella, who had been listening.
"Whatever you want it to, love."
Ephidel glared at him. Jack backed off.
" Anyways, can you get us a boat?"
"Yes I can. In fact, I already have an idea of one."
"That's great."
" You have got be kidding me?" Ephidel stared in disbelief.
"That's the one. Isn't she a beaut?"
"We can't take that one. It's the commadore's."
Ephidel and Jack were standing on the harbour, staring at a huge boat, moored in the bay.
"So, he's a commodore. He's got loads of boats. Like he's going to miss just one."
"Probably. That's his personal boat."
"Oh, well. That just makes it more fun."
Jack received another glare.
"Hey, you're dealing with a pirate here. What did you expect?"
"Fine," sighed Ephidel in defeat, "So, how are we all going to get on there?"
"You mean it's not just you?"
"No, I'm not going after a gang of cursed pirates on my own. I'm not that stupid."
"Then
how many?"
"Let's see, me, you, Limstella, Nils, Elbert,
Linus, Lloyd, Nino, and Leila, makes nine."
(A/N: No comment. To busy racking her brain)
"Well, that was a waste of time," muttered Ephidel. Suddenly a thought came to him. (A/N: As well as Elvengirl10)
"Why don't we come at night? Grab a rowboat or two; pad the oars and row out to the boats. It's a new moon tonight so it'll be dark. It's perfect."
"I think you may have something there, mate. Let's go back and tell the others."
Ephidel's idea went over rather well with the group. But, unbeknownst to him, Serra had heard this plan, and wanted to be in.
"Matthew, can't you talk to Leila about it?"
"No, she's working. Talking to her now would only blow her cover and get her in trouble. I don't want to bring that upon her. That Ephidel guy looks like a tough customer."
"You're no fun," Serra pouted. Meanwhile, the gears in her devious little mind were working over time.
"Well, Lord Uther said you had to protect me and I'm going along, whether they, or you, like it or not."
"Serra..." Matthew began, and stopped. There was no point in arguing. Serra had put her foot down.
Elvengirl10: Okay, I think I'll end this chapter here, but it's a lot better than my old one. Much more to the point. Yeah. I hope you like it.
Ephidel: Once again, please read and review. For Ninian's sake. She's still with the pirates.
