CHAPTER TWELVE: "Promises, promises..."

Oh – my – God...

"Jack?"

"Yeah, Gracey?"

"Is that who I think it is?"

"Like Rebecca Barbossa?" Lindsay asked.

"Aye, that'd be her..."

I stared a few more minutes...

"What's wrong with you people?!" Jessica yelled. "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!!"

We flew every which-way. Rebecca's crew came swooping down on top of us like mad.

"Stewy! Behind here!" I yelled. She and Lindsay came zooming over behind a rock with us as Jack and the other fought off the crew. Then I thought to myself... Why the heck aren't I out there kicking butt?!?! It's what I came here for!!! I stood up and drew my sword.

"Let's go," I said.

"What?" Lindsay asked. Stares...

"People! We're immortal! Let's at least get out there and have some action! Then you can one day say that you sword fought an evil pirate!"

Stares... at me...

Then Stewy stood up with her sword ready. Then Lindsay.

"Paige?"

"I don't have a sword!"

Stewy, clearly aware of the problem, ran out into the mess, kicked a fat guy in the butt, and took his sword. In no time, she ran back and held the sword out for Paige.

"Jess," Lindsay said, "that was the coolest!!!"

"Just a bit," she replied with her smile. "Now let's kick some Barbossa butt! GOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" We all screamed like idiots running into the fight. My eyes darted around looking for Paige's (or Lillian's, rather) sister, Rebecca. This was so crazy. I loved it!!! Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirate's life for me!

You could definitely tell the Lindsay, Jessica, and I sucked at this whole sword fighting – kickbutt thing. Every two seconds, one of us was on the ground, getting shot, stabbed, really big booboos... But man was Paige kicking butt!

"Where did you learn to do that?!" I asked after she took out a guy three times her size.

"When in Tortuga, defend your butt like the Tortugans do!!! (Tortugans... haha... I just came up with that, so laugh your butt off because I am, too... God, that's cheesy! "Cheese?!" Jack, calm down...)" she said.

I ran over to Jess and Lindsay to help them take down this psycho with a ball and chain... you know, the spikey ball and chain...malice or something? Anyway, technicality no important! We took him down along with Lindsay.

"You ok?" I asked after she got up. Her wounds healed immediately, but the dress was still ripped.

"Fine," she said.

"Little Turner!" Jack yelled. Our heads turned to see Jack fighting off all these weirdoes on Becca's crew.

"What? Me?" Stewy asked.

"Take the boat with Elizabeth and Anamaria and get back to the ship!" Will yelled.

"Which ship?!" Lindsay asked.

"Take them to the Meridian!" Will asked.

"What about the Black Pearl?!" I yelled.

"GO!" Will said.

"The Black Pearl's gonna blow?!?!?!" Jessica asked.

"No," Paige said. "Jack and Will are going to handle the Pearl! We just get back to the Meridian and secure the ruby with Anamaria an Elizabeth."

"OoOoOoOo..." Jess, Lindz, and I said.

"Get to the ship before I kill ye!"

"You can't! We're immortal!" Jessica blew raspberries and we ran off to the rowboat. On they way, we grabbed Anamaria and Elizabeth and pulled them along with us. We jumped into the boat.

"Now what's all this about?" Elizabeth asked.

"Jack and Will told us to get back to the Meridian to take the ruby before Rebecca finds it!" Lindsay said.

"Well, let's go then!" Anamaria said. "Row!"

- On the Meridian -

We jumped onto the deck and dashed as fast as we could to the mast. We hid there a moment... there were footsteps...

"Paige... what is it?" I asked.

"It's Rebecca's men... we gotta get to the ruby and fast. Where is it?"

"It should be in the blue box on our dresser in our room," Lindsay said. "Let's go..."

We snuck across the deck slowly as the sun rose. By the time the sun had risen over the water, we had made it to the staircase safely. We ran down the stairs and then we heard more noise from one of the rooms.

"Get in the corner," Anamaria said, pushing us into the corner.

"What if they have the ruby?" Jessica asked.

"Well, if they take my new CD player, I'm killing somebody..." Lindsay said.

"Is there anyone in our room?" I whispered to Paige.

"No," she said. "But there is in the first room. Ours is the second. We better watch ourselves."

We held our breath, and Lindsay, Paige, Jess, and I stepped forward, but Elizabeth and Anamaria held back. We turned around.

"What are you doing?" Lindsay said. "We're going alone?"

"Aye," Anamaria said. "We're going back to fight in the cave."

"And how do you expect us to get back to the island?" I asked.

"True..." Elizabeth said.

"Tell ya what," Ana said, "we'll cut a boat down for you and leave it at the end of the ship for you to slip into."

"You're leaving us?!" Stewy asked.

"Just get the ruby and go."

"Can't you just hold the boat?" Lindsay asked.

"Too risky... you're immortal anyway; I think you can handle yourselves. Not to mention how smart you are..." Elizabeth said.

"At this kind of escape method? Not likely..." I said.

"Well at least you're guaranteed to come out alive," Paige said.

"True..." I said.

"Just get the ruby and meet us in the cave," Elizabeth said. "Nothing'll happen, we promise."

"Promises, promises..." Jessica said as they crept back up the stairs. "Well, let's get the ruby and fast. Maybe we'll go so fast, we'll catch 'em before they leave."

We tiptoed slowly past the first door. We heard crashes and bashes and mashes and... voices...

"Find it or it'll be your heads Rebecca has!" the voice said. We walked passed the door, and I could see the owner of the voice a bit. Two other guys were ransacking the room. She looked like the first mate or something...

"Find it! It's gotta be here!" she said. I stayed to look and listen more, but Lindsay pulled me into our room. And quietly shut the door.

"Are you trying to get us killed?" she asked.

"Shows how good your memory is," I said. "We can't die, you loser."

"Just get it and let's scadaddle!" Jess said.

"What made you say 'scadaddle?'" I asked.

"I dunno... haha...scadaddle..."

"Super Stupid Stewy strikes again..." I said.

"Oh no..."

"What, Jane?" Paige asked.

"The ruby is gone."

"WHAT?!" Stewy yelled.

SLAP!

I slapped her, and then she whispered.

"I mean, WHAT?!"

"It's gone!"

We ran over to the little box to look.

"It's gone!" I said.

"That's what Lindz just said." Jessica told me.

"I'm aware of that, Stewy, but where's the ruby?!"

"It's in Jack's room," Paige said.

"Jack's room?" Lindsay asked.

"When we were playing dress up!" Jessica said. "I left it in Jack's big green coat!"

"What?" Lindsay asked exasperatedly.

"Yep, coat pocket," Paige said. "And that's all the way up the hall."

"Last on the right," I said.

"Now or never..." Paige said. "Let's go. Mary, you first."

Jessica dashed from our room to Jack's, then Lindsay, followed by me and Paige. We surrounded Jack's coat and Stewy dug her arm deep into the coat pocket.

"Got it," she said, pulling it out. We smiled, and then...

"Hurry!" Paige said. "Someone's in the hall!"

We ran over to the door, and we saw someone go into the room across from ours.

"Oh no... where's Rebecca?" I asked.

"She's in that room!" Paige said.

"Oh crap..." Lindsay said. "Now what?"

"We chance it," Paige said. "Come on."

With a huge gulp and thousands of reasons running through my head not to do it, I stepped up and we ran down the hall. Then Rebecca and two of her old cronies come out of that room we saw her go into! We skidded to a halt and went to run back. Dead end.

"We were backed up against the wall, Rebecca and her crewmen coming down on us.

"So, what are you doing here?" Jessica asked Rebecca stupidly.

"Jessica, you are dumb, aren't you?!" I asked.

"How do you think she got the name Stupid Stewy?" Lindsay asked.

"Hey, that's Super Stupid Stewy to you, bucko..."

"Who are you?" Rebecca asked us sweetly.

"Who does it look like?!" Jessica yelled. "We're the drunks of the ship!"

"Are ye now?" Becca replied.

"We are?" Lindsay laughed.

"Yep! Singing drunken lullabies!" Jessica sang.

"Well, me dears, you seem to be a bit young for being the drunks of this fine vessel..." laughed Rebecca.

"What does it matter the age?!" Lindsay yelled.

"Yeah... what are ye?" Jessica said. "Some kind of... age-ist person thingy?! Booyah! Top that! Come on! Chop, chop!!!"

Rebecca stared at us.

"You are no doubt servants on the ship?"

"Uh... no!!!" Lindsay said. "I don't serve anyone!"

"Oh, we can arrange it that ye do... you see, I have a feeling that one of you has what I'm looking for... a ruby?"

"How did you know?" Jessica asked in amazement looking at the ruby in her cupped hands. I elbowed her in the gut. "What?"

"You aren't taking it!" Lindsay said. "Not without a fight!"

She pulled out her sword and dropped it, picked it back up, and said, "Haha!" But Rebecca and the cronies pulled out guns (Yeah?! Well in a sci-fi flick, I could pull out that ray gun and vaporize you all! And yes, ray guns vaporize in my sci-fi...).

"Never mind," Lindsay said, stepping back, head hung low.

"That's it," Rebecca said. "Now if you'll please..."

"Eat me!" Jessica said.

"What did you say?" I asked.

"You never heard it, k?"

"Whatever..."

"Give me the ruby, or I'll kill you," Becca said.

"Can we compromise here?" I asked. "Like, you let us live and we give you the ruby?" I smacked myself mentally. "No, forget what I just said."

"Why? It's a plan..."

"NO!!!! We can't give it to you! You're evil and Jack would kill us!"

"Not if I do first..."

"Or me," Lindsay said, glaring at me.

"Or me," Stewy said.

"I'm sorry!" I said. "Don't kill me!"

"Who do we do that when –"

I clapped my hand over Jessica's mouth.

"When you don't know how? I dunno, Jess..." I said.

"Take them to the ship," Rebecca said. "Bound them up to the mast when we get there. Order the crew back to the Pearl. We're through here."

The cronies moved forward and took us by the wrists behind our backs. One of them took the ruby from Jessica and gave it to Rebecca.

"Thank you," she said, smiling at the ruby.

"You're not welcome," Lindsay said.

We trudged up the stairs onto the deck. So much was going through my mind... all my stuff was still in the room... would Jack, Will, and Elizabeth kill us after they almost kill themselves trying to save us? Geez, we are troublemakers...

We went to the end of the ship and there was a boat with Rebecca's first mate in it. What about the boat Elizabeth and Ana said they'd leave for us? Maybe they're still on the ship? Maybe captured? Dead? Ok, calm down... happy thoughts; bring out those happy thoughts (you don't have to tell me that I'm a nutter... I already know this!)...

-On the Black Pearl-

"Do you realize where we are?!" Jessica said as we stepped onto the deck.

"In trouble?" I asked.

The crewmen started tying us to the mast.

"Hmm... I wonder why?" Lindsay said, glaring at me.

"Well I didn't mean to!" I said.

"You're a dip..."

"Uh, guys?"

"Yeah?"

"Why is the Meridian sailing off?!?!?"

"What?!"

Rebecca spun around. The Meridian was sailing off! Jack had gotten away! Yes! Wait... what about us?!?!?!?!

"Thank you for everything." Rebecca said with a smile.

"What do you mean everything?" Paige asked.

"You're going to lead Jack right to me... he – wait..."

Rebecca walked up to Paige. Her eyes became huge. We're talking beach ball size... she gaped a moment.

"Lillian?" she asked.

"God! How many more secrets are gonna get out of the bag?!" Jessica asked. We glared at her. "Oops..."

"Yeah," I said. "Oops..."

"Well if this isn't the family reunion..." Rebecca said. "Little Lily and her friends. Tell me, do you miss Jack?"

"I'm on his side," Paige said.

"Well then... you're against me. So you will be killed."

"Wait!" Lindsay yelled. "Before you shoot, tell us how the evil plan will work without us..."

"You'll lead Jack to me dead or alive. When he realizes you are missing, they'll come after you and try to kill me, but they won't know if you're dead or not. So I kill you, Jack thinks you're alive and comes after you, then I'll capture him, and use the ruby to back and save my father."

"Boy, you're evil..." Jessica said.

"Thank you," Rebecca said. "And Goodbye."

BANG!

"Stewy!"

Jessica's head straightened back up and she looked around.

"Dude, Lindsay was right! This is cool! Shoot me again!"

"No, me!" I said.

"Uh, back off!" Lindsay said. "Me first!"

Rebecca lowered the gun in awe.

"You're immortal... You there! Order recount of the cursed gold!"

"There's one missing," Paige said. "Jack had us recount and one wasn't there. That's why we're immortal. We need the last and to repay the blood."

We stared at her... what's the matter with her? Telling her evil sister this stuff? Loopy Lily... haha... never mind...

"And I suppose you have no clue where the missing medallion is?" Rebecca asked.

"None whatsoever," Paige lied.

"Maybe Jack has it, and – it can't be!"

We looked around. Stewy's sun pendant was gleaming in the sun (hey, that's a bit weird... lol).

"Big oops..." Jessica said.

"The Littles have teamed up with my sister and arch enemy? This is grand..."
