Pirates of the Caribbean : The Bermuda Triangle

Chapter 8 - Gunfight!

A slow song came on and Jeremy held Amelia close to his chest. Their heart-beats danced to the beat and the girl closed her eyes, enjoying the company of the gorgeous teen. Her hair smelled of some expensive perfume, which Jeremy was so used to. Being raised in the rich family, everything they had was expensive. Amelia's perfume was so sweet and playful, at that point in time, Jeremy could not find a more pleasurable sent. Panther's hair smelled of the sea, something that the boy was not used to, but something that made him feel free.

At that time Panther noticed that Jeremy was dancing with a beautiful girl. She smiled, it's nice that he has someone. But for some unexplainable reason it felt like a dagger was driven through her heart. It couldn't be…could it? Panther shook her head slightly and avoided any thought of being jealous.

She turned to the boy, who she was dancing with. He was perfect like a picture. His name was Michael and he was 18 years old.

"So where are you from?" the boy smiled at her and pushed on her waist slightly to make them come closer.

"No one knows that apart from me and my uncle." she tried really hard to make her voice higher, so she doesn't sound so un-lady-like. "What about you?"

"I like here on the Island with my father, Rogee…"

Panther's eyes shot open Got you! "And where would your father be right now?" she smiled evilly

"Probably upstairs, he doesn't like parties" the boy mumbled

"Well this was fun, but I gotta go" Panther informed him, ripping away from his tight grasp and running across the hall. "Hey, Jamie! C'mon!" she called

"It's Jeremy" he shouted, but what was the point? She didn't even care.

"You have to go?" Amelia's smile turned sad

"Yes, but when I'm back in Port Royal, I'll find you" he smiled and before they knew it, Jeremy and Amelia were locked in a passionate kiss.

Panther turned around and stopped "Hurry up!" she yelled and gritted her teeth.

The two love birds broke apart and blushed, as Jeremy run after Panther and disappeared around the corner.

"What's going on?" they bumped into Jack by the stairs

"I found Rogee, hurry up!" she informed him, as they raced upstairs. It was just the three of them, Will and Elizabeth were still dancing in the hall.

Panther tagged at her dress and got out a gun. Slowly opening the door, they walked into a room full of smoke. Rogee was sitting in the chair by the window.

He was a handsome man, much like his son, who Panther danced with. His hair was platted, blonde and his eyes were light blue. He was the older version of Michael. His skinned was tanned a tiny bit and he had a scar on his left cheek. Big puffs of smoke were released from the pipe in his hands.

"Jack? Guar…!" he wanted to call the guards, but Panther pointed her gun at his head.

"I wouldn't do that if I was you. Now if you wanna leave you better give us what we want and we'll be gone in a second, ok?" Panther walked closer and clicked her knuckles with every step she made.

"You owe me some money, Rogee and I want it back. I would also like the map of the Bermuda seas if you please." Jack smiled, getting out his gun.

"But I…"

"Quiet!" Panther ordered

"Just give us what we want and we'll never bother you again." Jack sat himself down of the chair beside his friend.

The pirate walked over to the table and got out a bag of gold along with a map of the Bermuda seas.

"Thank you" Jack grabbed it out of his hands and walked over to the door.

"We'll be leaving now, but if you dare to send your little guards after us, we can tell them of your pirate life, I'm sure everyone would like to hear that" Panther warned him.

Rogee gulped and the three walked out.

Jack and Panther raced downstairs.

"Why are we running, he wouldn't dare send his soldiers after us, right?" Jeremy wondered catching up.

"If he's got any brains at all he'll figure out that first of all - no one will believe us and second of all…"

"They'll shoot us dead long before we can even open our mouths" Jack finished Panther's sentence and ordered Jeremy to call Will and Elizabeth, while they get the ship.

..:Outside:..

"The guards are coming!" Jeremy yelled, running as fast as he could towards the ship, as a shot was fired and then another one and then another one.

When they got safely onto the Pearl, the ship begun sailing away, but the guards still fired.

"What are we gonna do?" Elizabeth ducked, covering her ears with her hands.

"They're blowing holes in the Pearl" Panther clenched her fists.

"Watch" Jack smirked as him and his niece exchanged looks

"YOU BASTARDS ARE GONNA PAY!" Panther shouted and the two of them jumper up on the side of the ship, firing shots at every single one.

Pretty soon the ship was far away from the shore and blowing the steam off their guns, Panther and Sparrow jumped down, shaking hands in victory.

"Wow, Captain, I have to learn so much from you" Jeremy admired her.

"Yeah" she smiled "Now get me a lemonade, will you, kid?" she handed him her gun and walked down to the cabin.

Jack, Will and Elizabeth turned to walk away in their separate directions, leaving Jeremy standing alone on the edge of the Pearl, his slightly curly, dark hair blowing in the wind.

Panther didn't even care about him, she only cared about herself. Jeremy sighed and then thought of Amelia - a girl who liked him…more than a friend. He blushed. Yes, that was it, right? He loved Amelia. Panther was his Captain, who didn't even treat him like a real person, but Amelia…she actually liked him…When will he see her again? Jeremy rested his head on his hands and breathed in the fresh sea air, that smelled a lot like Panther's hair.
