Chapter Ten: A Game Before You Die And a Change of Heart
Matt is here for me! For me!" she sobbed. "Why did he take Jaimy!"
"It must be some new twist in his evil plot," said Mur over his shoulder to Carrissa.
"We must SAVE him!" cried Mercedes passionately to Mur and Carrissa. "Now! GO! GO!"
Though Matt's ship had gone, Mur ordered the crew to start out after it.
Meanwhile, Commodore, Will and Jack (yes Commodore is letting Jack go along) (by-the-way, how many readers knew that Commodore's first name is James? That's a little piece of trivia for ya) are gaining on the children.
Turn this heap around!" barked Matt, once he had scooped Jaimy out of the water. He collapsed his spyglass and turned as Jaimy was retrieved out of the "web", as he liked to call it, and brought before him. Matt bid the guards dragging Jaimy to follow him and they all went into Matt's cabin. The guards flung Jaimy into the room first and he landed hard on his hands and knees. Matt followed. He stopped and effectively blocked the doorway.
Matt just opened his mouth to say something witty and cunning (I'm sure) but Jaimy cut him off.
"HA!" sneered Jaimy as he got up from the floor, a look of protective triumph on his handsome face. "Your scheme has failed. You didn't get Mercedes this time."
"Oh no, Jaimy," said Matt slowly, his back to Jaimy as he turned to close the door. "My scheme has just taken shape!" He snapped the door shut and quickly spun around. He overbalanced, fell over, quickly got stood up, and laughed evilly. Well… about as evilly as one who had just tripped themselves can laugh.
Jaimy looked Matt up and down. "Your not a eunuch are you?" he asked seriously, raising an eyebrow.
"If I were a eunuch I wouldn't be after Mercedes then would I?" asked Matt matter-of-factly.
"Well, you did just capture me…" started Jaimy.
"NO! I'M NOT A EUNUCH!" shouted Matt
"But," started Jaimy dramatically; "it all could be some strange twist in your diabolical plot!"
"But ya see Jaimy…it's not!" finished Matt shortly. "My 'diabolical plot', " here Matt made little apostrophe's with his index and middle fingers, "is to kill off my competition, that would be you. Thus enabling Mercedes to love me. You see the genius?" asked Matt wickedly. "If you're dead, her affections would go to someone else…someone more deserving…someone like…me!" as Matt explained all this he wrung his hands and his right eye twitched convulsively.
"Dude," said Jaimy, starting to smile. "Calm down, your eye is twitching." He started to laugh.
"MY twitching problems aren't funny, JAIMY!" stormed Matt, stomping his feet.
"Yeah, they are…" said Jaimy still laughing. He coughed, "Uh…no they aren't…" Jaimy tried to recover, suppressing his smile. "So I don't really feel like dying…and you so know I would beat you in a duel. How 'bout we play a card game for Mercedes instead?"
"You would not beat me…" started Matt "You don't even have a sword! So I guess we'll have to play a game. But not cards, that takes too long and I want you to die quickly." Matt's brow furrowed as he thought hard. "I KNOW!" Matt exclaimed, jumping up and down and clapping his hands, excited at his brilliant idea. "Let's play a fate deciding game of…" he paused for dramatic effect, Jaimy leaned forward, "CHECKERS!"
Jaimy shook his head. "Yeah, cause that's evil…"
"I know!" said Matt, as Jaimy's sarcasm completely flew over his head with a faint whooshing sound and splattered on the wall behind him.
Jaimy sighed again. "Checkers it is, I guess."
Matt let out a WHOOPPPPEEEE! Jumped into the air and clicked his heels. Then her went to his desk drawer, pulled out the checkers board and he and Jaimy began to play. Jaimy took red and Matt took black. (He thought since he was, you know, 'evil' he should take black…original…)
While the fierce checkers battle was going on, Mercedes was sitting on the floor of Carrissa's cabin having a breakdown. She finally realized just how much she truly cared for Jaimy. (Shhesh, about time right?) Carrissa is sitting next to her, trying to comfort her.
"Matt will KILL Jaimy! Matt will KILL Jaimy!" sobbed Mercedes, running her hands through her hair in stress. "And it's all my fault!"
"It's OK, Mercedes." Said Carrissa comfortingly. "I don't think Matt will actually kill anyone," she added helpfully. But then again, you can never really tell with these things can you?"
Mercedes, who was somewhat comforted by Carrissa's first statement, blanched and her eyes went wide again. "THANKS A LOT!" Mercedes moaned.
"Why are you so worked up over this?" asked Carrissa.
Mercedes gave her a disbelieving look. One that said 'can you seriously not tell?' Then she hiccupped a little.
Carrissa just continued on, "I mean, really. Do you like him or something? Because he is MY fiancé…"
"Yes, Carrissa, I like Jaimy. In fact I think I LOVE Jaimy. But it shouldn't matter that he's your fiancé because you have a thing for my brother Mur."
"And the point you're trying to make here is…what?" asked Carrissa, revolving her wrist impatiently.
Mercedes' mouth dropped open. "You can't have both Mur AND Jaimy!" she said exasperatedly.
"And why can't I, Hmmm? It's not like you could either."
Mercedes was shaking her head. Then she smacked Carrissa upside her head. "Ugh! Mur is MY BROTHER! That's gross!"
"OW! Mercedes!" shrieked Carrissa, and she pulled Mercedes' hair. Mercedes slapped her again.
Mur, who was walking by at that moment, heard the smack and walked into the room. "What is going on in here?" he asked suspiciously, looking at Carrissa massaging her head and Mercedes looking daggers at her. They both looked up at Mur, innocently smiling.
"Nuffing," they chorused.
"Right, well you two best get ready. We're not far off…" and he turned and exited the room.
Mercedes got up, walked over to the porthole, and looked out at the clear ocean sky, thinking about Jaimy.
"You know what Mercedes?" asked Carrissa, after a while of silence. "You're right. I don't love Jaimy. Don't get me wrong, he's gorgeous and sweet and whatever…but, I'm beginning to lean toward a different type."
"The type with eyeliner?" asked Mercedes, turning and smiling at Carrissa.
"The type with eyeliner…" said Carrissa.
"Well then…we better get ready." Said Mercedes, smiling mischievously. She felt wonderful and full of purpose. She had something, or should I say someone, worth dying for. She left Carrissa's room and walked barefoot to Jaimy's. She pulled open a drawer and took out a pair of Jaimy's breeches. She took a knife off of the bedside table and cut off the skirt part of her sopping under dress, allowing it to drop to the floor. She then pulled on Jaimy's breeches. The effect was very handsome. Mercedes was now wearing her low, square cut top and a loose fitting pair of pants. But what's missing? thought Mercedes. Ahh…
She walked over to the closet and pulled out a pair of boots. They were made of worn black leather, with a large cuff at the top. Mercedes put the boots on and tucked her pant legs into them. They went up to her knees. Perfect, she thought as she smiled to herself in the mirror… Now all we need is a plan….
So what did you think? Please review! Thank you all so much. Love you all! P.s. I have written a Harry Potter story also so go and check it out if you would like. And don't forget the Misadventures story also. Ehmm shameless plug cough… lol And until next chapter, keep a sharp eye;)
