Hi! I hope you all like this next chapter. I tried to make it longer, but it's still a little short. I'm getting better though. I'd like to thank my reviewers for well….reviewing. Thanks guys!

Ian sat on the edge of the Coat Guard boat staring out into the sea. It had been a day since Eric had gone missing. He had fallen overboard and no one has caught sight of him since. Eric and Ian's parents were telling the Cost Guard their story, again. They had sent out a distress call shortly after Eric disappeared into the black and murky waves. The Coast guard had found them and now they were all on the large boat. The Magdajena tied to the end, trailing along like a baby elephant follows its mother. Which was appropriate since the Coast Guard boat was much, much larger than The Magdjena. Zoe standing off to the side, staring out at sea like Ian had before he turned to her. He sat up and walked to her.

"We'll find him"

"I know, it just seems like the Coast Guard isn't doing anything!"

"I know, but they'll do something soon. Right?"

"I guess"

"Let's hope so"

"I'm sure they will"

"Yeah"

"Well, I'm going below to get something to eat, do you want to come?"

"Nah, I'll stay here"

"Okay" Zoe left. Ian knew he had to do something to help or he'd explode. He tried helping but everyone just got mad at him. They told him he didn't need to do anything. They didn't understand that he really truly did. So he made a plan. He packed up everything he had brought onto the Coast Guard ship. That night he snuck out and then he tossed his duffel down to The Magdajena. Then he climbed down the heavy rope that kept it tethered to the ship. The he was on The Magdajena. He ran down below the deck and grabbed the biggest kitchen knife he could find and then ran up deck and began cutting at the large rope. Once it was severed he realized, no turning back now. He brought up the sail and steered himself away from the unhelpful Coast Guard and the stupid adults who wouldn't do anything about it. He was looking for Eric himself! He was a good friend. He wasn't going to leave him behind. Just like Eric didn't leave him behind about a year ago (here comes a flashback). It was a school field trip. They were going hiking up on a big mountain. Ian had slipped in some mud and was now 20 feet below the group hanging be some roots. The teacher had gotten so scared that she had instructed so one to do anything until the mountain ranger people came. She led everyone away so Ian wouldn't fell panicked with everyone staring at him. Yeah, like he wasn't already panicked enough, a few kids gaping at him wouldn't really have made a difference. Eric snuck away and scaled down the cliff onto a ledge near where Ian was hanging on for dear life. He was so far off the ground he was afraid to look down, and Ian wasn't even normally afraid of heights. Eric extended his hand, bracing himself on a sturdy piece of rock. Ian grabbed his hand and pulled him onto the ledge. Ian claimed he was about to lose his grip and would have fallen in a minute of two if Eric hadn't come. This really shut the teacher up after yelling at Eric for putting himself and Ian in danger, especially since the rangers hadn't come for another 6 minutes after Ian and Eric had climbed back up. After Ian had finished thanking Eric a million times over, Eric just shrugged and said "I know you'd have done the same thing for me". They never spoke of it again but Ian never forgot.

"I'm gonna do the same for you buddy, here I come!" Ian said into the wind as he sailed out into the night sea.

He had been sailing for hours when hen spotted another ship passing by. I should go see if they've seen Eric. Ian thought as he steered the ship in their direction. He saw people on the boat, all adults by the look of them, they were dressed kinda funny too. They have no flag, that's weird. Ian thought. By the time it occurred to him that they might be dangerous, it was too late. The pirate flag was going up, men were jumping onto The Magdajena, and a man with hooks instead oh hands was barking orders at all the men. They were crawling all over the ship. Going through cupboards, stealing things and they were all armed with pistols and swords. Ian tried to run (even though he really had nowhere to run to), but the man with hooks ordered everyone to stop him. Ian was ambushed by the pirates. Soon he was tied up and carried onto the other ship.

"Hello young man" the man with hooks said "I'm Captain James Hook. Welcome to The Jolly Roger!"

Thanks for reading; I really hope you liked this chapter! I'll update soon. Please review! )
