Ch 4. Escapes and Mistakes.
I couldn't believe my eyes, as I watched Sella jump a little too enthusiastically and plummet into the water after Elizabeth and Jack. I laughed histarically then realized Jack may have a little problem getting to her. I gasped at my realization and dove in the water to get her. I was thankful for my t-shirt and shorts, poor Sella had that heavy dress on. I swam deeper into the water, then I spotted her. Jack had already surfaced by this time, but Elizabeth's dress dragged him back down. He was close enough for me to see him, as he ripped off Elizabeth's dress, then turned and motioned for me to do the same. After following his instructions I swam to the surface with Sella. Sella woke up when we hit the surface and swam on her own. The guards helped us get out of the water.
Jack took off the corsette and said his funny line. "Obviously you've never been to Singapore." It made me and Sella laugh but the guards didn'nt get it. Sella and I turned to each other and we both started asking questions. "Where have you been? Are you okay? Is Elizabeth really a witch? Is Jack really a nice guy?" Jack looked up at the mention of his name and saw us jumping up and down hugging each other. It was nice not to be the only one here who didn't belong. Then something hit me. That dull throbbing in my right side had suddenly flared into a stabbing pain. I doubled over and yelled "OUCH! I'll get the bloody pirate who shot me." Sella gave me a curious look and asked. "Did what?" I just waved it off and told her I'd explain it later.
Then Norrington entered. After that whole long scene involving the fate of Elizabeth's rescuer, it turned out that we were all to be cuffed and sent to the gallows at dawn! I just couldn't believe it! Though I would rather go with Jack I didn't want to be thought of as a pirate! And of course, Rosella was guilty by association. We watched Jack escape in aww, laughing at him flying around in circles. Just as he was running accross the bridge, two guards came and dragged us off to the jail.
The place smelled even worse than it looked. I laughed to myself thinking about how good it was that we didn't have smell o vision yet. Unfortunatly the pirates in the next cell had to put in their two cents.
"Ohh what do we have here?" They asked. "Looks like some fresh meat boys." One of them smiled. They continued to eye us, Sella in nothing but her underdress and me looking to them like undergarments too. Apparantly they really annoyed Rosella because I have NEVER heard her yell at ANYONE!
"If you think you are going to have a little fun then think again. First of all, we happen to be friends with a pirate who would kill you for even looking at us. And second, WE'RE IN SEPERATE CELLS YOU STUPID SHELLACS!" I had never known shellac to be used as a curse before. This was a new high for Sella, and seeing her like that gave her a bit more of my respect. I couldn't hold it in any longer and busted up laughing. It hurt my side, A LOT, but I just couldn't stop!
A couple guards walked down and I shut myself up, then they threw Jack in with us. The pirates gave him a wary look, wondering if this was our pirate friend, then began calling for the dog with the keys.
"So, what was that about you getting shot?" She acted like she thought I was jokeing. So I told her the whole story and she sat wide eyed. "Jack.. tended.. to.. your.. wound? He's really that nice?" She asked.
"I bloody got shot and your asking if Jack's nice!" I practically screamed. She just started laughing and apologized, saying she was thankful I was okay. After awhile of sitting there telling each other jokes that the pirates didn't understand. Jack had woken up, and we heard the first signs of cannon fire. The Black Pearl had made it's entrance.
