chapter 8 (and a half)

Jackie was falling and praying that thier was a soft landing. While he was falling, he grabbed Lizzies oar, and then hit water. When he came up for air, he was amazed at his survival.

"I'm alive! YES!" he said, but he remembered not to be too loud. He looked up at Lizzie and Jackie and saw something else falling, their swords. When they fell in the water he dove after them and tied them to his waist, like Jack and Lizzie did. The two then were taken by the cannibles and Jackie was determining where should he go. He remembered that he said to himself when they were on the boat, "Follow the river to where it flows, then you'll know where the treasure goes.". So, he felt the river and followed it. Then, he saw and grabbed Lizzies oar and floated along. Finally, land. He went on it with the oar and wandered next to the river. As he followed it he reached a waterfall surrounded by trees. the tree he stood next to had a vine that looked long enough tto bring him to the bottom.

"Okay, no. No WAY! I'm no Tarzan! So you're just going to have to just stay there you stupid vine!" he yelled at it. He began walking away, until he ran back with the oar in his armpit, climbed on it and when he was riding it, he did a loud Tarzan yell.

"Okay got that out of my system." he said, taking the oar out of his pit. He walked on for what felt like hours. Then he reached a very, very small lake that had candles along the edges and a shrine in the back part. There was no way to reach it on land, so he prepared to get in it. But this preciouse place made the water solid and he walked on it to the shrine. Inside, there were candles that were in containers that gave off a red glow. Flowers were drapped everywhere. In the middle of everything, was a small, black chest, the chest of Davvy Jones. When he lifted it up, it was lighter than expected. He left the shrine and tied it to his back with a bunch of vines.

"Okay, I've got the chest, now to find Lizzie and Jack." he said to himself. Just then he heard a loud gunshot that was towards his left. Oar in hand, swords by his sides, and chest on his back, he ran, hopinghe could save them. He ducked into some thick bushes whe the cannibles were close. He figured, they must be close. Sure enough, on the other side of the bushes was Jack on a stick over a small flame and Lizzie was on a pole. The two were talking but he couldn't hear them.

"Alright. What would Lizzie do?" he quietly asked himself. He noticed the one cannible and got an idea.

"OoooooooH,OOOooooh!" he went in a deep voice. It was enough to bring the cannible over. Jackie was able to here the word 'miracle' from Lizzie. When the cannible got close enough, he klonked him in the head with the oar and he fell to the ground with a thud.

"You called for a miracle?" he asked. Lizzie and Jack looked up at him in amazement as he came out of the bushes.

"Jackie? You're alive?" Lizzie asked, "I'm so happy! Jackie, you don't know how happy I am to see you." Tears were starting to appear in her eyes and Jackie had a smile on his face. He used her sword to cut her ropes and free her from the pole. He forgot to untie her legs and she fell into his arms. For a few minutes, they just stood and blushed.

"Um...Uh...He..here." he said as he cut the ropes around her legs and she jumped down.

"Hey! What is that on your back? I...is that?" Jack asked

"The chest of Davvy Jones." Jackie finished

"Good. We now have the chest, but will you please untie me before I burn." Jack said. Jackie was puting the fire out, by throwing sand on it. He then cut Jacks ropes and he fell face first ni the sand.

"Oops. Sorry." he said, "Oh, and Lizzie? Your lucky oar was lucky, until it broke on that cannibles head." Lizzie gave him a hug. It was an akward moment that Jack watched.

" And I was able to get your swords." he said. Lizzie let go to get her sword and tie it around her waist. Just then, the cannible woke up and started to run to the rest of his tribe.

"I think," Jack said, "I'ts time to go."
