YAY! Three cheers! I updated! This little story is a bit lame, but I worked with what I had. Let's hope that all you fanfiction writers out there are as big a movie buff as I am. Last story, ms-erupt guessed correctly that it was a spoof on Jaws. Kudos! Let's see how many spoofs I can do in this one.

I'm a little disappointed that no one reviewed to tell me if they know who does the music. Very talented man, he is.

Warning: Reading any of this without a full dose of sugar will NOT change how this story is read. This story was not created with any sort of sugar either. Ye have been warned!

Chapter 10:

To the Batcave, Pan!


Yes, that was it. The last trunk was unloaded from the Black Pearl. Every single crew member had gone in the boats to drop off their new booty, Elizabeth...

...Oh, and the stuff that they had raided from Port Royal.

But Liz was the last treasure that they loaded into the boats. She sat there with her hands tied in the gently rocking boat as it moved it forward with every stroke of the oars men. How could she even attempt to escape a crew full of pirates, anyway, even if they did leave her hands untied?

A child could answer that one. It was lucky that one came flying out of the cave.

WHAT? No one can fly! Elizabeth glanced at the pirates around her to see if they had noticed this as well. Apparently not. They didn't even notice the boy in the first place. She slumped back in her seat, thinking hard.

Did I really see a boy fly? I could have sworn...

Liz shook her head slightly. She was going to her death in that cave. What did it matter if she was going insane? She scanned the skies again. Sure enough, the boy flew back into the cave with a sword clutched in his hand. Liz noticed he looked a bit peculiar, with leaves as clothing...I am going insane...

As the boat slowly drifted nearer to the entrance to the cave, squeaks could be heard, echoing through the tunnel.

Oh, no! She thought. Now I'm hearing things.

The pirates around her in the small boat constantly glanced to the top of the cave. They could hear the squeaking, too! But, it was so dark toward the top, nothing could be seen. The rower kept on rowing.Nordid he show any sign that he was slowing. (:D)

She could hear the clattering of sword against sword as they went along further, but became disappointed when the sound was coming from the fork in the water tunnel that they weren't taking. Through the midst of metallic clanking, she could hear arguing, the deep male voice becoming louder. She heard a girl scream 'Peter'. This was an interesting thing she was hearing. Suddenly, she heard the man panic and yell 'shoot it!' She heard him call someone's name, but she wasn't sure who. It sounded as if he was scared of the ticking of a clock.

How odd...

Elizabeth would have rather gone down the other fork, full of cannon fire, metallic clashing, and even to find out why that man was afraid of a clock instead of going with bloodthirsty pirates. She was going to her death all because of her childhood fantasy of becoming a 'Turner'.

More squeaking of animals (yes, she now figured out that they were animals) came from overhead. Liz shuddered noticeably. A few pirates chuckled. She remembered when on of her best friends in England had fallen into a boarded up well. He broke his arm. Unfortunately, there was a batcave that connected to it; the bats were frightened and attacked him. Only after a few minutes of sitting up on firm ground, hearing screaming and scared yells, the bats flew up and attacked her.

The pirates laughed again as she shivered at the bats. Liz was grateful there was a light at the end of the tunnel.

The squeaking became so loud, it drowned out the voices of fear from the other fork, now so far away. She listened closely. Maybe if she got used to their continued screeches, she wouldn't be scared anymore.

Their high-pitched noises became slower, but no less in volume.They almost seemed to be making words.

'bat'

Elizabeth edged away from a bad smelling pirate to her left.

'man'

It looked as if they were nearing a small beach.

'will'

Something about Will?

'save'

He will save me?

'you'

'Elizabeth,' she thought to herself. 'You are going insane. Bats are talking to you! After all this is over, get a very long rest.'

Pirates were making a loud ruckus as they hopped out of their little boats, into the water and pulled them onto the nicesmall beach. She looked around at all the pirates around her and noted that there were less pirates then they started out with.

She looked up to the squeaking ceiling and gasped softely--a man in black, entirely covered in that color except for his mouth. He motioned for her to stay quiet. The light from the first boat's lantern reflected from the water to around the man's head. The mask had ears...almost like a bat. She slowly returned her gaze to the filthy pirates who were helping her out of the boat.

Now with this "Batman", she had a way to escape being killed!

The pirates would not enjoy their surprise.


Well, how'd you like it? Heh, you can guess what movie I saw just recently...Yeah...

Anyway, I'd like a few more reviews, please. You know, a little positive boost in my morale...to get me going for the next wonderful chapter. :D

Thanks so much for those who have reviewed in the past and are going to review. You people are the audience that keeps me going! Thanks again.
