CHAPTER FOURTEEN: "Find that monkey!"

Thomas grabbed the keys off the other wall and let out Will, Paige, and Jessica first.

"How did you get by unseen?" Will asked as Thomas unlocked our cell.

"I just used all those pirate antics and that I learned when I was younger. Simple as that," he explained (-throws Jack's rum into the ocean- Me rum!! SPLASH! Jack! Come back!).

Lindsay and I smiled up at him with goo-goo eyes. He smiled awkwardly and shrugged his shoulders as we came out. Thomas walked back up the hall. I looked over at Jack, and he was standing in the doorway of the cell with a raised eyebrow.

"What do ye see in 'im?" Jack asked us.

"He's hot!" Lindsay said. She covered her mouth immediately when Thomas turned around and started walking back down the hall toward us.

"What did you say, Jane?" Jessica said loudly from the other side of Lindsay. "Thomas is WHAT??"

Lindsay elbowed Stewy.

"Not fair," Jessica said in a strained voice doubled over. I was trying my hardest not to laugh out loud. Don'tcha just love it when your friends make themselves look like complete and total idiots (WHAP! Lindsay, it's called a joke! As in haha! WHAP!! Ow! You meanie! WHAP!!! –pulls out photo album full of Lindsay's baby pictures- We can do this all night if you want... -Lindsay pounces- AHHH!!!)?

Thomas started back up the hall, and Lindsay turned towards me as I laughed under my breath. He stopped right next to her.

"The Meridian is out of the cove now," he said.

"We know..." Paige said, clutching her head.

"Well," Thomas said, "now's the time to get up there and find Rebecca."

"Yes!" I said, drawing my sword. "This is what I've been waiting for!"

"I'm tired!" Lindsay yawned.

"Me too," Jessica said.

"Can't we go back to the Meridian and sleep and you can come and get us whenever we're back in Port Royal or Tortuga or Singapore or wherever?" Lindsay asked.

"We've got a monkey to find," Paige told us.

"Oh yeah..." Stewy said. "But do we have to? I like being immortal! Plus I'm really really really tired..."

"Just find the monkey, Mary," Will said. "We'll take care of Barbossa."

"What about Ana and Elizabeth, Pikes?' asked Jack. "Are they on the Meridian?"

"They're the ones who planned this whole thing," Thomas said. "They're fine." Jack nodded his head slowly. Good, they got away in time...

"Well, we've got us an evil wench to find," Jack said.

"And an evil monkey," Jessica said.

"And an evil monkey," Will laughed, patting her on the back.

"Listen, lassies," Jack said. "Stay on deck if ye can. If we need to find ye, it'll be easier not wonderin' which hold yer in."

"Aye aye, Captain!" I said.

"Sure!" Lindsay said.

"You betcha!" said Stewy.

"Right," Paige added.

"Since yer immortal, ye shouldn't have troubles getting' the monkey to the cave. If ye can't get a boat, swim..."

"But what if we can't find the monkey?"

"Then you're stuck here," Will said.

"Wait," Thomas said. "Are these the-"

"Yes, the Littles," I said. "And the evil girl's younger sister who is on our side and psychic."

"And immortal?" Thomas asked. "How?"

"Jack had us count the gold and one was missing because that evil monkey has it now can we just fix this already?!"

"Calm down, Grace..." Lindsay laughed.

"Sorry... Tommy Boy, We'll fill you in later."

"Never mind, I understand," he said.

"Good, because we aren't going through all that again," Jessica said. "Come on! Let's get up on deck!"

We started off in a dead run.

"Find that monkey!" Jack yelled to us.

"You betcha!" Jessica yelled back.

The four of ran up the stairs and saw all of Rebecca's crew grabbing rope and that.

"They're getting ready to take over the Meridian!" Lindsay said.

"Prepare to board!" we heard Rebecca yell from over us. Then she spotted us.

"Oh crap..." Paige said

"You!" she yelled. "Get them! They've escaped!"

"Go!" Paige screamed.

As we ran like mad towards the mast, I was thinking... why run? We're immortal... and it's not like we're gonna stay captured... we're immortal! Did they miss this or something?! Paige jumped up on the side of the ship, and started climbing the ropes to the crow's nest.

"Come on!" Hurry!" she yelled to us.

I jumped up on the side of the ship and pulled Stewy up. She started climbing.

"Easy does it, Stewy!" I said as she climbed higher I looked behind me and saw the rough waves hitting the ship a good ways down. I looked at Lindsay as she climbed up beside me.

"Chill out," she told me. "We're immortal, remember?"

"Then why doesn't it feel like it?"

"Jane! Grace!"

We looked up at Paige. They were a little over halfway up.

"We're coming!" Lindsay yelled up to her. "Keep going! Hurry! Come on," she said.

"I started up the ropes shakily with Lindsay beside me.

"Come on, Erica! You're a pirate! You can do this!" she yelled. I looked down. Here come the crewmen. Joy...

"Uh, Jane?!"

"Yeah?"

"Climb faster!"

"Climbing!"

The ugly guys were gaining on us; Lindsay and I were trying our luck on running up the ropes, and Jessica and Paige had just about reached the crow's nest.

"Oh God! My legs and arms are killing me!" I said.

"Let them or they'll kill us!" Lindsay said.

"WE"RE IMMORTAL FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME!!!"

"Just shut up and climb!"

"Lindsay!"

We looked up. Paige and Jess were in the crow's nest now.

"Stewy! What is it?!" I yelled.

"Look out!"

We turned around. BIG guy, BIG ax...

"AHHHHH!!!!"

Something grabbed my hand, and I saw that it was Paige. She came down and let us in front of her. I scrambled up behind Lindsay and Jessica helped us into the crow's nest.

"Thanks, Jess," I said.

"Yeah, thanks Stewy."

"Where's Paige?"

"Right here," Paige said, climbing in.

"Ok, so now where?" Jessica asked.

"Oh, come on... can't we rest?" I moaned.

"Are you a pirate or not?" Paige asked me.

"I'm going... but where?!"

We looked around. Lindsay picked up and old chain and handed it to me.

"What?" I asked.

"Do what Jack did! You are Little Sparrow!" she said. "And Stewy can ride you down!"

"What about you and Paige?"

"I ride Stewy and Paige rides on me."

"All four of us on this little chain?! You do know you're gonna die, right?!"

"IM-MOR-TAL!!!!" she screamed.

"Oh yeah..."

I put my hands in the chains and they snapped shut. We jumped up, clung to one another, and that was it.

"GLEEGLESPAWWWW!!!!!" Jessica screamed as we zipped down the rope. Hey, this is just like the movie! Sweet! Only I'm not sure if I can hold three people...

"Slipping!" I screamed.

"AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

CRUNCH!!! CRASH!!! CRACK!!!

"Ow..."

"You all ok?"

"Fine..."

"Then lets hightail it!"

We ran up the ship more when we saw Will.

"Girls!"

"Will! What is it?!"

"Get to the Meridian and find Jack!"

"What happened?!"

"Just go find him! Take a boat and get out of here if you can't find him!"

"Will!"

"Find that damn monkey while you're at it!"

"Will!"

"GO!"

We ran off wondering what the hell was happening. What about Will? Is Jack ok?! Is anybody dead?! Oh my God... is the world ending (SLAP! Erica! Get on with it already! Chill out, Lindsay...)?!?!?!?!?

We crept as fast and as quietly as we could to the Meridian. We were about to cross when the gangplank fell. Joy.

"Well! This calls for more ropes!" I said. I started handing out ropes, and we swung across.

"Come on, Jane! Let's hear that Tarzan screech!" I yelled. Lindsay threw me a look, but she did it. "Good show!" I said in a mocked British voice when she landed.

"Shut up and let's go."

After we ran past all these people being killed, we made it to the stairwell. We were shot and sliced a few times each, and by the time we hid in the stairwell, we were so out of breath and tired we could've died.

"Now what?" I panted.

"We find Jack," Paige said.

"Let's get our book bags first," Lindsay said. "Will said to find a boat and get out."

"But we need to find Jack!" Jessica said.

"Well, let's grab our book bags, stuff them with what we need, and find Jack!" I said.

We dashed into our room. Jessica was stuffing a bunch of food into her book bag with her CDs and the portable DVD player. Lindsay started dumping the Jolly Ranchers from the tiki mug into her bag along with a notebook and other stuff. I threw in the first aid kit I had, one of my outfits, and a load of food. That seemed to be our main priority – food. God save us if we had to eat gruel... ick.

"I can't fit my hoodie!" Jessica said.

"Me neither!" Lindsay said.

"Just wear it!" I said, putting mine over my head. "Wear what you can!"

At that, Lindsay kicked off her slipper shoes and threw on a pair of baggy 'boyz pants' as we like to call them. Jessica smiled.

"I like the way you think, Bloody Jane!" Jessica jumped up and I put on a pair of 'boyz pants' under my dress as well. I dropped my bag on my bed and did the same, and then we threw on tennis shoes. Better running... we need that...

"What about me?" Paige said. I can't carry my chest!"

"Stewy! Didn't you bring two bags?!" I asked.

"Might've..."

"Well check!"

"Ah! Here it is!"

Paige opened her chest on Jessica's bed, but Jess just picked up the whole thing and threw it in the extra book bag.

"Take it!" she said, shoving it into Paige's stomach.

"Is everyone ready?" I asked.

"Do I got time to change out of the dress and put on a shirt?" Lindsay asked.

"No!" I said. "At least you have pants on so it's harder for rapists to get to you! Just grab a shirt and stuff it in your bag!"

"I still don't see how girls could wear pants," Paige said. "Even after you tell me it's normal."

"I've already got shirts in my bag," Lindsay said. "Oh... do I really gotta leave all my clothes behind?"

"Lindsay! We're killing daylight! Come on!" Stewy said.

"Easy for you! You can live a week in one outfit! I can't!"

"You're too high-maintenance!" Jessica said. "Let's go!"

"Fine!" Lindsay said. "But I've packed all my boyz pants!"

"So have I!"

"Come on, you two!" Paige said. "We need to go find Jack!"

"Ok! But I'll miss my bed!" Lindsay said.

"Oh for the love of rum! Let's go!" I said.

"Goodbye, wonderful room..."

"Lindsay!"

"What?!"

-On the Meridian's deck –

"Jack?" Paige yelled over all the swords and screams. "JACK?!"

"Over here..." Lindsay said.

We ducked behind a barrel scanning the scene for any glimpse of Jack.

"Nothing," I said heavily. "Where could he be?"

"Let's find out!" Jessica said, drawing her sword. "GLEEGLESPAW!" she screamed.

"SYNONYMS!!!" Lindsay yelled, drawing he sword as well.

"JONAH AND THE WHALE!!!" I screamed. The four of us ran out there like crazy spinning around with the swords and knocking losers out with our book bags.

"It just goes to show you how dangerous school really is to your health!" Lindsay shouted after taking out a guy with her loaded that was on her back. We took out a few more (this violence stuff is great! lol), and then Stewy screamed.

"Jess?!" Lindsay shouted.

"It's ok! Over here!" Jessica yelled.

We ran over to Jessica ducking flying swords, heavy things, the grasps of Rebecca's crewmen. We had to jump over barrels and bodies lying and rolling around the deck of the Meridian, but we finally reached the side of the ship with Jessica. Anamaria was with her.

"What's going on?" I asked as we ducked beside them.

"You girls need to get on the nearest rowboat and leave. Find the monkey?" Anamaria asked us.

"Not even a glimpse of the thing," Lindsay said. "Didn't have time!"

"What going on?" I asked. "Is everything alright?"

"Rebecca's crew is going hard," Jess told us. "Half of our crew is already dead."

"What about Tom?" Paige asked.

"I just saw him," Jessica said. "He's doing fine."

"Will told us to find Jack and if we couldn't to hop the nearest boat out," I said. "What the heck is going on? Shouldn't we be fighting?"

"Nobody can find Jack," Anamaria said. "He's gone."

"Gone in what sense?" Jessica asked.

"He's missing! Bloody inquisitive future demons, you are," Anamaria said.

"Thanks..." Paige said.

"Just get to the boat. Start lowering."

"Why can't we fight?" I asked. "We are immortal... and pirates! Why run away?!"

"Look, when you four came into our lives, Jack changed. For better and worse. Just get in the boat and don't go against his word. He'll maroon ye regardless."

"Hey, where is Jack?" Paige asked.

"Just get in the boat," Anamaria told us.

"Why does Jack want us out of here?" Lindsay asked.

"Typical parent..." I said. "Is he ok?"

"Get into the boat."

"Is he ok?!" Paige asked.

Suddenly, Elizabeth had ran over and ducked beside us.

"What is going on?!?!?!?" Lindsay asked.

"Oh, good. Did you-"

"No! We didn't find the monkey, medallion, or Jack! Where is he?!" Jess yelled.

"How is he, Lizzie?" Ana asked her.

"He's lost a good bit of blood. He's been shot quite a few times."

I felt my face loose its color. All four of us were whiter than white. Silence was the word of the moment.

"Girls, into the boat... now."
