Chapter 6: The Attack
Chell was sitting at her desk trying to clean it up. A book fell out with a similar look to Jess'. She opened the cover & found a letter similar to Jess' as well. It had a silver cover with a gold name pate that read: Rachelle D. Adams. Suddenly she heard something that sounded vaguely like, "Cannon Fire!" she yelled as she ducked nearly getting hit by a cannon ball. She ran to her closet & grabbed all of her leather outfit & shoved them into bag, grabbed her sword & dagger & put them on the studded belt, last but not least she grabbed the rest of her effects.
She was running down the stairs to join the fight when she felt someone grabbed her by the shoulder, pulled her into an old escape tunnel, & closed the doors, locking them air tight. "Ye can't 'elp yer sis or yer parents by goin' & getting' yerself killed now can ye?" Lorelei was shouting at her.
"If ye won't let me fight, tell me where this tunnel leads." Chell said.
"Comes out in the cave on the western side of the island. Near the oasis were ye & Jess use ta escape ta." Lorelei said.
"Tha's a long way. We had better get goin." Chell said.
"I brought our horses so it wouldn't take as long. We already 'ave survivors over there so we'd better 'urry." She replied. Outside they could hear the on going battle, people screaming for help & the blast of the cannons. Cannon balls repeatedly slammed into the castle walls, which made the move all the faster. Two Days Later…
"We're too late!" Jess screamed when she saw the smoldering ruins of her home.
"Should we go to the west side of the island & make berth in the cove?" Tasha asked from the helm.
"Aye, the Dauntless may still be 'round 'ere." Jess said. They sailed around the island to a natural cove they called Safe House. It was were they made berth when the royal navy was close. The cave was guarded by about a mile of thick jungle growth.
When they were about half way there they were met by none other than the Dauntless. "Pull up to our side & we'll validate that you are free to go on your way. We are looking for the girl of Morgan Adams, the Lady Pirate or Lady Luck as many called her. She wasn't so lucky when Commodore Norrington got a hold of her." Said a soldier of the royal navy.
"Who be ye ta go orderin us 'round like tha?" Jess asked.
"I'm Lieutenant Gillette. Who are you to go asking questions of the royal navy?" Gillette asked.
"I be Captain Jessica Adams. This be me ship, the White Pearl. Thanks ta ye I've found out 'ho killed me parents. Ye've also jus' blew up me 'ome town, an offence punishable by DEATH!" Jess said.
"Well then I'll have to… let's see what is the word Jack Sparrow used, Commander I do believe. Yes commander this ship." Gillette said pushing the final button at the use of Jack's name.
"Over my dead body! Run out the guns girls." She said her eyes had gone electric blue with cold fury. In no time it was easy to see who was winning.
"Abandon ship!" Gillette shouted to his men as the Dauntless was set to blow.
"Looks like I just sunk yer battle ship. Do ye want a compass? There are other islands near by. I think ye can make it if ye swim slow enough." She said as the Dauntless sink to the bottom of Davie John's Locker.
"Weigh anchor here. It'll keep them from the island. I wanna look for me sis in the western cave." Jess said.
"Aye." Said the crew.
"We wanna go too." Jesse said as he, Tasha, Shelly, & Johnny stepped forward.
"Lets go then." She said. After about thirty minutes they found the cave & every one inside it.
"Who are they?" Jesse asked as he looked at the other survivors.
"They are Lorelei, Rachael, Tabby, Crissy, & Joe. This li'l fella 'ere is King Charles II." She said pointing to the monkey that sat upon her shoulder with his tail around her neck, "we just call 'im Charley."
"Cool." Jesse said, "I'm Jesse, & this is Tasha, Shelly, & Johnny. Nice ta meet ya."
Jess ran over & gave Chell a hug & in turn got smacked by Charlie. "Hey! What do ya think yer doin smakin' the cap'n?" she told him. The crew just laughed at her. Next they went to the ruins of the castle & salvaged what they could. The room that they couldn't get in still stood. They went inside & took out everything & put it on the ship.
