Chapter 5: Island Hikes and Campfire Conversations
We got into the boat,and as soon as we were both settled the boat lifted out of the water and flew off into the horizon. "Are we flying?" I asked excitedly,
"I think we are." Smithy said we looked at each other both smiling excitedly. As we flew I noticed an island that we were more or less coming closer to.
"Hey Smithy, is that the island where the temple is?" I asked,
"Yes it is, look over there that's were my ship is." Smithy said. I looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a gathering of dark clouds.
"Wait a second," I said. "I thought you said you didn't have a ship!"
" I said I was captain of a ship remember, my ship was cursed also so it and me crew are stuck somewhere within that storm you see down there" Smithy explained solemnly. After he said this we noticed that the boat had started sinking, we landed on the island soon after that.
After we had landed we got out and looked around. "Do you know where we are?" I asked Smithy nervously.
"For the most part, come on it's this way!" I followed Smithy up to path that I had not noticed before. As soon as Smithy put his foot on the Threshold of the path arrows came flying down at us. "Get down" Smithy shouted, I dropped to the ground Smithy ran back from the path and threw his body on top of mine, shielding me. An arrow nearly pierced his arm but he didn't move, it was then we noticed the arrows were starting to move away from us, and then they stopped altogether.
"I didn't think anyone lived on this island," I whispered shaken.
"No one does, it was a trap, come on and be careful." Smithy replied getting off me and helping me up.
We cautiously headed up the path until we came to the top of a cliff that was more or less the halfway point between the beach and the temple. "Come on, let's make camp here." Smithy said, noticing that the sun was going down.Smithy got a fire going while I went to look for some plants to make our beds. After all this was done we sat around the fire and talked.
"So you know Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann?" I asked,
"Yes there friends of mine, But how do you know about them? Have you ever met them?" Smithy asked.
"No I haven't, but where I come from the story about how Will and Elizabeth helped a pirate known as Captain Jack Sparrow recover his ship is well known to me, and before I asked you the date I saw you talking to them, or at least I thought it was them because they were standing in front of a blacksmith shop, and I know that Will was a blacksmith I am not sure if he still is though." I explained.
"He isn't but he still likes to make swords from time to time, that's probably because he's the best and everyone asks for him." Smithy explained smiling slightly. We sat together in silence both lost in a world of thought.
Katy broke the silence by saying quietly to herself " I wish I could meet Jack while I'm here."
Jack looked up as she said this; "She wants to meet me but why?" He thought to himself. "Why would you want to meet him?" he asked nervously.
" In all the pictures that I see of him, well… I don't know but I guess it's in his eyes, for some reason when I see his eyes I just feel like he just needs a friend who he can talk to." Katy spoke mostly to herself. As Jack heard this he felt like he should tell her who he really was, but something held him back. They talked a little more than went to sleep.
