Ok, next chapter. Anyway for those of you who like this story, I did a bit of reading and found this awesome story! It is called The Adventures of Jane Thatcher by Dacey Squidge . Such a great story! It is a must-read! Please take a look! Also, yea, the fake poem was a bit lame...It was in VFD code (Series of Unfortunate Events). You change the word you want to use for one or two words. Complicated? Sort-of. Easy to under stand? If you can guess what you are looking at! I picked it up a few days ago and was driving everyone crazy in my house. Also, Robin, um, I think everyone got the idea that Robert and Barbossa are the same person. I think that covers it. Now on with the next chapter...

Chapter 25

(AN1)BOOM! Dynamite exploded! The whole was now uncovered to the cave. Robert Barbossa grinned. James could tell it was more then just a grin, but an evil smirk.

Barbossa rushed into the cave. James and his crew followed. They swiftly headed down the long, dark cave. Barbossa had a taste for treasure. James had a taste for marriage. But they both didn't know they would find neither.

IN THE CAVE

"Jack?"

"WHAT?" Jack sounded annoyed.

"Are we there yet?"

"NO! BLAST! STOP ASKING THAT QUESTION!"

"Why shouldn't I ask that question? Don't you know if we are there yet?

"WELL, HOW SHOULD I KNOW? YOU ARE THE KEY TO THE TREASURE!"

"ARE YOU SAYING YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE?"

"WHAT DO YOU THINK WOMAN?"

"YOU-!"

Emma slaps Jack.

"WHAT DID I DO?"

"THAT WAS FOR LYING TO ME TELLING YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING AND FOR CALLING MY WOMAN! I HAVE A NAME , JACK!"

"WELL EXCUSE ME FOR BREATHING!"

Emma stuck out her tongue at him. Jack did it back. They did it back and forth for a while. Soon they were both in hysterics.

"Jack,-giggle-I'm sorry-giggle-I didn't mean to yell-giggle-at you."

"Luv, it's really alright. I was just being daft."

"Fine, fine. Now let's concentrate on our adventure."

"Good idea! And hope I can get a bit of rum, soon. I think I'm going sober."

Emma laughed. The two were soon off again. Another wall came into view. It was dimly lit by large torch.

"Another wall? Geez. This is getting annoying!"

The wall read...

To get to the Treasure of the Bronze Tiger. . .

You must set a torch a fire . . .

And state your heart's desire. . .

"Heart's desire? Luv, what does your heart desire?"

"Love, Jack, to find someone who loves me is my heart's desire."

She already has that on granted. Jack thought to himself.

No sooner had Emma finished her sentence, the wall crumbled in front of them. Jack quickly grabbed the torch and led the both of them farther in the cave.

They both walked a few feet, but there was nothing in sight.

"I'm supposing the treasure is a hoax, luv."

"Maybe, Jack, maybe."

"The treasure is your heart's desire! Your desire has been fulfilled!"

A voice had proclaimed from the darkness. A tall woman with green eyes and long brown hair stepped out of the shadows. She wore a long white tunic, that reached to the floor.

"Mum?" Emma's eyes widened seeing the familiar person. "What are you doing here?"

"My daughter, I am the guardian of the Bronze Tiger Treasure. Tis my time, as will be yours if you don't marry. I was not married."

"But, Mum...Father..."

"I didn't explain. If you don't marry out of love, you will suffer the same fate of mine, to guard the treasure until your daughter is married. The reason I am here, will be yours if you don't marry out of love. Please remember daughter, as I leave you with a wish, a door opens when a door closes and true love is meant to be, if you are with the right person..."

"A wish?"

"Yes, a wish."

Emma looked at Jack. "Jack what do you wish for?"

Jack gave her a funny look. "What do I wish for?"

"Yes."

"I would wish that..."

Jack was interrupted by a loud boom.

"Oy, here they come. Emma, luv, stay with me."

Emma nodded. She looked back at her mother. He mother nodded and disappeared.

AN1- I really forget if they had dynamite back then: o. Oh, well.
