CHAPTER THIRTEEN: "MAROONED!!!"

"Jess! You're a dip!" I said.

"I know! I know!"

"This is interesting..." Rebecca said. "Now my plan won't work..."

"Well, too bad. Wish we could help. See ya later! Bye!" Lindsay said.

"Not so fast..." said Becca. "We're going to the cave..."

We got untied from the mast and hopped in yet another rowboat.

- In Isle de Muerta -

We rowed ashore in the cave, and our wrists were tied tightly together. When we actually got in the cave, the crew had Jack and Will encircled. But then why had the Meridian sailed away? Geez, I hate that code.. We walked in, and the two lugs held us outside of the circle. But we were still within earshot...

She walked into the center of the circle.

"Ah, Sparrow... long time, no see eh?"

"Aye, twelve years fly... but I must say, ye weren't so evil as a young lady."

"That changed the day you were marooned," Rebecca spat. "Little Lily was so crushed... you remember her? It's been a long time..."

"I do; Lillian was like me own..."

"And do I understand correctly? The entire Caribbean knows of your story about this future and the girls you befriended... enough to call them your daughters... But you know, not everyone knows they are here now except us. I came across them on your ship earlier. They had the ruby; I took it and took them back to the Pearl to discover that they were the Littles. And you know something? Lillian was with them... that rat ran to you.... Found her little friend after all these years. I'm impressed..."

"Our girls were came across her in Tortuga just yesterday. Lily found out that they were with me and joined me crew. She was under disguise when I took her aboard, but she told me not an hour later who she was. She's been trying to find me since the mutiny –first and second," Jack said. "She wants to help me kill you."

"How sweet..." Becca said. "She was so close to you... but that's changed now."

"What did you do to them?" Will asked angrily.

"Simple enough. Brought them to the Pearl in hopes that you'd come after them and I'd capture you... But then I saw your little ship sailing away..."

"The Meridian's gone?" Will asked.

"It is, Turner... but I thought for a moment you had escaped my men. I was upset at this thought - even if it wasn't true. But I thought about it... even if it were remotely true, you'd still come after them. You wouldn't leave them behind even if it meant breaking the code. You'd sail after us, but you wouldn't know if they were dead or alive... so, just so that they'd cause me no trouble, I shot them."

"You shot them?" asked Will.

"Aye, but they live..."

At this point, the two crewmen thrust us into the middle of the circle. I saw the look on Will and Jack's faces... they seemed glad to see us, but grave to see us captured.

"And here they be!" Rebecca said circling us. "Alive and immortal... we have you to thank for that, right, Sparrow?"

"If ye'd like to..."

Rebecca threw him a cold glare.

"But to my extent of knowledge, I don't know where this missing medallion is.... maybe one of you two fine gentlemen can assist me in its replacement."

"Take your lucky shot then," Jack said. "Ye've wanted to kill me for ages, why not now?"

"Oh, Jack... so naïve..." Rebecca laughed.

She pulled the ruby from her pocket.

"You see this ruby?" she asked. "It's back to its rightful owner... the person who knows everything about it. If I know all there is to know about it, then why would your crew possibly believe your story? I did... You know this little ruby can time travel by now, but you don't know what I do... One thing is that with each use, the ruby shrinks... soon, there will be nothing left of it.

"For instance... you cannot be immortal and use the ruby. If I wanted to send these girls back to wherever they came from, I couldn't do it. So they're a nuisance until we find that medallion. They cannot be killed or sent back. They're stuck here!"

"Dude, we are masters of torture!" Jessica said.

Rebecca glared right at her.

"Ones I intend to rid of once I find that medallion."

Lindsay and I mocked her when she turned away. Paige and Jessica laughed, but Jack and Will looked really mad...

"Another thing you don't know is that you cannot kill, go back, and kill the same person."

"You lost me," Lindsay said.

"Example!" Rebecca said loudly. "I shoot Jack and Will now. They're dead. Now I take this little ruby and go back two years. I prevent my father's death, but I cannot kill Jack or Will that night. Why? Because their fates have already been written. They won't die that night because they were meant to die by my pistol in this cave. Does that clear it up for ye, Jane?"

"Yep, I think I've got it," Lindsay said.

"But just so this doesn't happen, you will return to the ship with me unharmed, and we will sail after the Meridian to get that medallion so it can be returned to the Chest of Cortez. Then I can kill these four and go back."

"What makes ye think it's on our ship?" Jack asked.

"Why else would the Meridian sail away in a hurry?" she asked (uh... the code? What about the code?!). "Mark my words, once I capture your ship and get the medallion, say goodbye. I'll lift the curse, send these girls back to their makers, and then I'll finally save my father from an unjust ending.

"You won't remember these girls, gentlemen... not even leaving the cave that night. Neither will your wife, Turner... let's include her, shall we? I don't want to be the one to do this, but killing my father has left me the dirty deed. Take them to the ship and see to it that they are secured in strong cells."

Rebecca walked off and the circle broke. Some more pirates on Becca's crew grabbed our arms and pushed us along.

- In a cell in the Black Pearl -

"Ye're getting better at this," Jack said to us.

"Better?" Paige asked. "We've been captured and she has the ruby!"

"But she doesn't know where the missing medallion is, does she?"

"No..." I said.

"That's where you're getting better," Will said from the other cell next to us.

"But then the Meridian and all our stuff's gonna be blasted for no reason!" Jessica said from between Will and Paige.

"How long ago did it sail away?" Will asked.

"Right before we entered the cave," Lindsay said. "About 45 minutes."

"Not bad..." Jack said. "Where did Anamaria and Elizabeth go?"

"They said they were heading back to the cave to help you," Jessica said. "That was the last we heard from them."

"They said they'd leave a boat for us, but when Rebecca took us out, we didn't see one..." I said.

"That's interesting..." Jack said.

"Ha!" Jessica said, pointing at Jack. "He said another one!"

Jessica pulled out a small tablet from the pouch that was tied to her side. It was all wrinkled, but she flipped through it, then crossed something off.

"Are you keeping tabs on Jack?" I asked.

"No!" Jessica said. "I wrote down all of Jack, Will, and Elizabeth's lines from the movie and I'm marking off all the one's they say!"

"Why?" Paige asked her.

"It's funny!"

"Haha Mary..." Lindsay said sarcastically.

"Well, it's better than that dumb license plate game!"

"True..." Lindsay said.

"Enough of this," said Jack. "Back to Rebecca..."

"What about her?" Lindsay asked, lying out on the bench.

"Maybe Elizabeth and Ana are still on the Meridian," Will said. "I bet they are!"

"Makes sense..." I said. "But we would've seen them, right?"

"Not necessarily," Paige said. "Anyone can be lurking in any shadow. I know... I lived in Tortuga."

"Yeah, that's true, too..." Will said.

"So what you think, Jack?" I asked.

"I think Ana and Elizabeth are either still on the ship and trying to get out of harm's way-"

"Oh, don't give me that," Will said. "Ana's a pirate who can't stay out of trouble just like you. And Elizabeth is just as bad."

"I'm telling her you said that," said Lindsay.

"That's a shame..." Jack said.

"What?" asked Will.

"Ye're young as anything with three children!"

"And you're old as dirt with one children!" Jessica said.

"That's child, Jess..." I said.

"Well, I like my family," Will said. "Three lovely daughters and Elizabeth."

"Don't call me lovely," Jessica said. "Not in my descriptive vocab."

"Aye, Mary," Will said in surprise.

"Ye let them walk all over ye, mate! Ye're pitiful!" Jack said.

"And you're better?" Will asked.

"Ye bet! Watch... Grace!"

"Aye?"

"What ye got in yer lil pouch there?"

"Hmm... gum, band-aids, watch, pencil, lighter –"

"Alright, alright... give me yer watch."

"No way! It's mine!"

Will started to laugh, but Jack stood up.

"Grace, now..."

"Forget you..."

"Don't make me shoot ye..."

"I can't die..."

"Black Grace! Give me that watch!"

"No! It's mine! When you gonna understand that?!"

"You're doing so good, Jack..." Lindsay laughed.

"Besides, Captain!" I said. "I thought you wouldn't care what we did! We're pirates now! Will I ever escape my elders' rule over me?!?!?"

"Who ye calling elderly?" Jack asked me.

"Wait..."

"Oh, now ye can't remember?"

"No!" Paige said, getting up with Will. "Someone's coming."

We looked and saw no one coming down the stairs. But I heard something...

"It's that Thomas hottie!" Lindsay said, looking out a hole. Jack and I ran over to look, and Jess, Paige, and Will looked out another one. There was that blonde ponytail waving in the noontime breeze. He was all wet from swimming.

"Pikes!" Jack whispered. "What are ye doin' here, lad?"

"The Meridian is behind the nearby cove. We're going to sail out right in front of you."

"Why?" Lindsay asked.

"The Pearl will stop and I can set you free. Then we battle, kill Barbossa, and go home with the ships."

"How much farther?" Will asked.

"Not much, sir. Any minute," Thomas said.

"So get us out!" Jessica whispered hysterically.

Thomas held up a small hatchet, and Jack looked grave.

"No."

"Sir-"

"Pikes-"

"It's the only way..."

"There are other ways, son! Not me ship!"

"But sir-"

"Ye do one thing to hurt me ship and I will have ye marooned!"

"But-"

"MAROONED!!!"

"Aye, sir."

Thomas put the hatchet back at his side and continued to climb up the side of the ship. Lindsay and I glared evilly at Jack. Jessica, even though she was in the other cell with Will and Paige, grabbed a lock of Jack's hair and tugged.

"Argh! Will!"

"What?"

"Control that lass of yours!"

"You let Tom get away!" Lindsay said angrily.

"Yeah!" Jess said.

"So! He's a pirate... and so are you!"

"So?!" I asked.

"So," Jack said, "Pirates don't fall in love."

"Is that what you thought?" Lindsay laughed suddenly.

"Yeah, us? In love with that Pikes kid?" I said. "Fat chance."

Jack and Will smirked. Lindsay and I huffed and sat down.

"What do they know?" I asked Lindsay.

"The truth..." Lindsay laughed. I smiled. Yep, they do now...

THUD!!! CRUSH!!! BAM!!!

"OWW!"

"Watch that foot, Jack!"

"Paige!"

"What?!"

"Get off!"

"Shut up, Mary!"

"Make me Will!"

We got up.

"What was all that about?" Lindsay asked, looking through the hole again.

I was so dizzy... now I know what it felt like when Elizabeth yelled 'Lower the anchor on the right side!' Apparently, the Meridian had sailed out of the cove.

"What the heck?!" Stewy yelled.

"We've stopped..." Will said.

"Obviously..." Paige said. "We need to get out of here!"

"Suggestions?" I asked.

"Will! Can you do anything?" Jessica asked.

"I'll check, but I'm not sure I can do anything from in here..."

"Try!"

"I'm trying! I'm trying! But choking me won't help, Mary!"

"Try HARDER!!!"

"Mary, let him go..." Paige said.

"Ok... but you better get us out, Will."

"Me??"

"Yes you!"

"Ye got a violent one, mate..."

"I agree," Lindsay said.

"Me, too," Paige said. "

"Three," I said.

"Four," a voice said.

We looked down the hall, and there was Thomas.

"Well done, man!" Jack said. "How did ye get by?"

"I'm a pirate, what can I say?"

"Marry me," Lindsay muttered. I smiled.
