Aha! I told you I was going to post it quickly! Thank you to my precious reviewers:
Nemi Jade: we do, indeed
Spirit of the Sky: ah, a new reviewer! Welcome to the madness! You and I must be REALLY alike, then…
16aqua: Jack would've been happy about that!
ON WITH THE STORY!
Dead men tell no taaales!" The parrot screeched. It had been doing this for about an hour.
"Right, that's it!" Amy yelled, "That parrot is going on my list!"
The ship was sailing smoothly through a ship graveyard. Wreckage was strewn everywhere in the water.
"Puts a chill in your bones how many honest sailors have been claimed by this passage," Gibbs was saying.
"I wonder if the Titanic is down there?" Amy said to no-one in particular.
Will was watching Jack shut the compass.
"How is it that Jack came by that compass?" He asked Gibbs. Amy looked over, interested.
"Not a lot's known about Jack Sparrow before he turned up in Tortuga with a mind to after the treasure of the Isle de Muerta. That was before I met him, back when he was captain of the Black Pearl." Gibbs said.
Amy turned back again, disappointed about not saying about the compass. She gazed at the hammerhead sharks swimming casually in the water. She wondered what it would be like to have such a weird shaped head.
"Ah," Will was saying, "so that's the reason for all the," Will staggered around, acting like Jack and the author dies with laughter.
"Reason's got nothing to do with it," Gibbs explained to Will about being marooned. Amy was only half-listening.
"How did Jack get off the island?"
"Well, I'll tell ye," Gibbs said, "He waded out into the shallows and waited three days and three nights till all manner of sea creature came and acclimated to his presence. And on the fourth morning he roped a couple of sea turtles, lashed 'em together and made a raft,"
"He roped a couple of sea turtles?" Will repeated.
"That's the biggest load of crap I've ever heard," Amy said, jumping into the conversation.
"Aye, sea turtles,"
"What did he use for rope?"
Gibbs paused, thinking. They turned to Jack, who had suddenly appeared
"Human hair," he said, "from my back,"
Amy giggled as Jack yelled "Lower the anchor! Young Mr. Turner and I must go ashore,"
"Captain, what if the worst should happen?"
"Keep to the code," Jack said, shortly.
"Aye, the code,"
"Hang on, hang on!" Amy said loudly. Jack and Will turned, "I'm not coming?"
"No, you're not," Jack told her.
"Yes, I am!"
"No, you're not!"
"Yes I am!"
"No,
you're not!"
"That's it! You're going on my list!
"Jack!" Will interrupted, "We're wasting time!"
"Oh, for god's sake, come on then," Jack gave in, Amy smiled triumphantly, "But no weird stuff, alright?"
"Promise,"
They climbed into a rowboat and made their way to the caves. Jack was rowing jauntily as Will and Amy sat behind him. They entered the dark and gloomy caves. Amy was giggling excitedly.
"How can you be so happy?" Will asked in disbelief.
Amy shrugged, "It's a gift, I guess," she leaned over the side of the boat. A skeleton was lying on the rocks, a crab scuttling past it.
"Ooh, look! Crab!" Amy pointed.
"I think it's more like 'ooh look, rotting skeleton'" Jack said from the front.
"What code is Gibbs to keep to if the worst should happen?" Will asked, also looking at the skeleton,
"Pirates code. Any man who falls behind is left behind."
"Oh, good. You can't leave me behind, then. I'm a girl!"
"I'm sure we can make an exception, though," Jack smirked.
"No heroes amongst thieves, eh?" Will said.
"You know, for having such a bleak outlook on pirates, you're well on your way to becoming one," Jack told him, "sprung a man from jail, commandeered a ship of the fleet, sailed with a buccaneer crew out of Tortuga," Will peered over the side of the boat, the gold in the water reflected off his face, "and you're completely obsessed with treasure,"
Amy reached in the water to try and grab a piece. They exited from the boat.
"That's not true. I am not obsessed with treasure,"
Jack was looking at the gathering of pirates as Will followed. Amy watched through a gap in a mound of gold.
"Not all treasure is silver and gold, mate." Jack said.
Barbossa was standing on a heap of treasure, next to a large stone chest and a very frightened young woman.
"Elizabeth," Will said, softly.
"I theenk he's in lurve, Jack," Amy whispered.
"Yeah, no kiddin'" Jack murmured.
"Oh, shut up!" Will gave Amy a little shove so that she tumbled onto some coins.
"Shhh!" Amy hushed him, angrily, "The monkey's watching!"
"What's the monkey gonna do? They're not that smart!"
"You'd be surprised," she got up.
"Every last piece that went astray we have returned," Barbossa was yelling to his crew, "save for this!" He pointed to the medallion around Elizabeth's neck.
"Jack!" Will scrambled up the mound,
"Not yet!" Jack pulled him back down, "We wait for the opportune moment,"
"When's that?" Will asked, "When's it of greatest profit to you?"
Jack turned to face him, "Can I ask you something? Have I ever given you reason not to trust me? Do us a favour, I know it's difficult for you but please stay here and try not to do anything stupid,"
"Jack, Elizabeth could get hurt!" Amy piped up.
"We wait for the opportune moment," Jack repeated.
Will walked off as Amy stood in the middle, not sure who to follow.
She watched Barbossa nervously. What if there was a twist in the storyline and they slit her throat? She got panicky when she saw him pick up the knife.
SMACK
Amy turned around to see Jack unconscious on the ground and Will holding an oar.
"Sorry, Jack. I'm not going to be your leverage,"
"Will!"
He dropped the oar and ran off. Amy looked back at Jack but then followed Will.
"What are you doing?" He whispered to her as she caught up.
"Helping you, silly,"
"I would've thought you would stay with Jack?"
"I'm sure we'll catch up with him sooner or later,"
Will looked uneasy.
"No weird stuff. Promise." Amy said, putting a hand on her heart. Will nodded and beckoned her to follow. They slipped into the water and swam towards the mound of treasure. Elizabeth was lying at the base of it; Barbossa had backhanded her. He was currently yelling furiously at his crew. Will touched Elizabeth and she woke with a jump. Amy gave her a grin and beckoned her into the water with them. Elizabeth grabbed the blood-stained medallion before silently slipping into the water beside them.
Elizabeth's purple dress was extremely heavy when it was wet so Amy and Will grabbed her hands to pull her out of the pool of water. They snuck round the rocks, unnoticed by the arguing pirates. But noticed by something else. The monkey. He screeched and pointed.
"I told you the monkey was smart!" Amy hissed to Will.
They ran to the rowboat and Will got in.
"Wait!" Elizabeth said, running to the pirates boats.
"Elizabeth! What are you doing?"
"Take the oars!"
"Oh, yeah! Good idea!" Amy rushed over to help. They grabbed armfuls of the oars and chucked them into the rowboat.
"Let's go,"
I wrote this chapter when I was sent home from school because someone threw a rock at my head. So if the writing's bad, then that's why.
Review, plzthnx
