2 reviews for the previous chapter? Guys, I'm heartbroken! C'mon, what happened to y'all? You guys are lucky that I update every Saturday, I almost didn't update today! Anyway, here is the next chapter with a tiny Jackson/Lilly moment, that is because I have BIG plans for them later on. Hehehe... I am evil. Yeah, and look, I haven't even put up a disclaimer! Anyway, we all know what I own and what doesn't belong to me. It all belongs to Disney! Hey, even the compass belongs to Disney! Oops, said to much...
Chapter 4-
Sea Monster
Lilly leaned over the railing, looking out at the sun in the horizon. Half of it was already gone and left gold ray across the ocean's surface. She turned her head a bit and saw Jackson walk towards her. She looked back at the ocean and tried to ignore him.
He had been on the ship for a day and had never left her alone for a second or even for a minute. Wherever she went, he was there following behind. It got on her nerves and wanted to tell him to stop it, but Oliver kept saying Jackson had to follow her!
"Hey." Jackson said as he stood next to her. Lilly looked over at him.
"Hi."
"So…" Jackson tried to think of something to talk about. Lilly intrigued him, here was this girl all by herself on this ship full of guys and she seemed to be the one in charge, not Oliver. "Why are you here, on this ship?"
"What?" Lilly asked.
"Why are you here, on this ship, and not back home?" Jackson asked again.
"Not all women are meant to be a house wife. Some do like adventure and want to explore the world." Lilly said.
"Like Miley." Jackson said under his breath.
"Huh? Who's Miley?"
"No, I said Hannah. Like Hannah, she also doesn't want to be some girl who has to follow the rules and get married and be the perfect wife." Jackson said.
"Really?" Lilly asked and looked behind her when she heard boots on the wood. Oliver came up and joined them.
"You can go Jackson." He said. Jackson nodded and left. Oliver waited until Jackson was gone before he spoke. "It wasn't there, we had the wrong place."
"What do you mean? Oliver, what are we looking for exactly?" Lilly asked.
"I don't know, it's just something my father said to me before I left, 'Finding the greatest treasure in the world' or something like that." Oliver said, looking back down at the compass.
"Right, and that will help you find the greatest treasure in the world. Oliver, it doesn't even point North, it's some weird junk you managed to barter off of some crazy old lady." Lilly said.
"But she said it would show me the greatest treasure in the world!" Oliver said. Lilly grabbed the compass out of his hands and looked at it. The compass started to spin and stopped, pointing right ahead, which was west.
"Well, looks like we're heading the right way." Lilly said and threw the compass back at Oliver. He looked down at the compass and it started spinning uncontrollably, not stopping once.
"Lilly, there's something-" Oliver started to say, but was cut off by the ship tipping to the port side. "Lilly! What is going on!"
"I don't know!" She shouted, trying to gain control. The shaking wakened the crew who all ran above deck. It woke Miley as well and she ran out of the captain's quarters, looking up at Oliver and Lilly.
"There's something tipping the boat!" Oliver shouted and ran down the stairs. "Matt, I need you to weigh anchor on the starboard side."
Miley ran to the side and looked down into the ocean. It was dark there, but she could make out the outline of a creature swimming underneath the ship. "Oliver! Come here!" She shouted and turned around. Oliver hadn't heard her and Miley was about to run towards him, when the boat started to rock from the port side now. Miley lost her footing and fell hard onto the deck.
"Miles, are you ok." Jackson said softly and helped his sister up.
"Yeah, fine." She said and smiled. The boat rocked again and Miley hit the railing, almost falling out. "Go, I'll be fine." Jackson nodded and ran off to help around the ships. Miley turned around and saw the creature there. It came close to the surface and Miley saw its body, dark and scaly. She shivered and moved away from the edge.
"Hannah, watch out!" Lilly shouted and had to turn the boat as the anchor landed on the ground, the same time the creature hit the boat. Miley felt her feet leave the ground and felt the rush of wind. Before she knew it, she was engulfed in freezing cold water, darkness surrounding her.
"Hannah!" Oliver shouted, trying to run towards the side she fell out, but slipped. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stood still, the boat had stopped rocking.
"I told you bringing a women aboard was bad luck, whatever is under there was after her!" Donny said.
"Shut up Donny! We have to save her, we can't leave her out there in the ocean!" Oliver shouted and ran towards the side of the boat. He wasn't the best swimmer, but he was fairly good. He took off his sword and handed it to Lilly who stood next to him.
"Oliver, don't" She said, but he dived in. The cold water shocked him for a moment, but he soon got over it and went back up. He saw Lilly looking down, worried. Oliver took a deep breath and went under. He swam deeper, ignoring the cold and numbness he felt. He saw movement out of the corner of his eye and turned. There was this massive eel with dark blue eyes. Floating in front of it was Hannah, who looked almost lifeless. Fear gripped Oliver; the eel was massive and too close to Hannah.
He went back up to breath, but went down again. The eel was moving away from Hannah now as she was slowly floating back to the surface. Oliver swam towards her, grabbing her around the waist. He then swam towards the surface, kicking with all his might so he could get there soon.
He broke the surface of the water and saw that the ship was still there.
"He's back, lower the boat!" he heard Lilly order. Soon enough, he saw the boat slowly make its way down to the water. Oliver swam towards it, throwing Miley in there and got in himself. He took a minute to catch his breath before he turned to Miley. Her face was blue and Oliver was once again scared.
"Please don't be dead." He said, taking her wrist and felt for a pulse. There was one, there was still hope. He just had to get her dry now. He put his ear by her face and felt that she wasn't breathing. "Oh no."
He pressed his hands down on her chest, closing his eyes. 'Come on.' He thought and listened to her again. Nothing. He felt her pulse and couldn't feel it anymore. 'No, no, no…' He pushed down on her chest again, harder. Miley's eyes flew open as she spat out water.
"O-Oliver?" Miley asked, her teeth chattering. Oliver sighed in relief and the realized that the boat had made it back on deck.
"We're going to need a lot of blankets, she was in the water for too long." Oliver said, picking Miley up bridal style and taking her to the Captain's cabin. He stopped and turned to Lilly.
"Continue towards the west, I'll talk with you later." He said and felt Miley shake. He kicked the doors open to his cabin as Jackson came with some extra blankets. "Jackson, I'm going to need you to help Lilly around the ship."
"But Hannah…" Jackson started to say, but trailed off.
"I'll look after her." Oliver said, lying Miley down on the bed. He wrapped her up in the blanket already on the bed, wiping her wet hair out of her face.
"Y-your h-hands are c-cold." Miley said. Oliver nodded and took off the boots she had on.
"Hannah, I'm going to need you to get out of your clothes or else you could die of the cold." Oliver said. Miley blushed at this and Oliver smiled weakly.
"I'll turn my back, here are some blankets for you to wrap yourself in." He said, putting the blankets on top of her. Miley nodded and Oliver stood up and turned his back. He heard the shuffling of sheets and heard the wet clothes hit the floor. Oliver blushed and closed his eyes, trying not to think about her right now.
"O-ok." He heard Miley say weakly. Oliver turned around and saw her lying down on the bed wrapped in all the blankets, still shivering. He kneeled down next to her and smiled. He touched her cheek, it was still cold.
"We have to warm you up." He said and got up to look for anything that would help, but Miley pulled him back down.
"No, i-it's fine. I'll b-be fine." She said and smiled. Her eyes slowly closed and she went back to sleep. Oliver moved her hair out from under her back so she didn't get wet even more. He touched her cheek once again and smiled softly. He felt her shiver again and then looked around the cabin. Nothing.
'Body heat.' He thought. He got changed out of his wet clothes and into some dry ones that he had and lay down next to her, pulling her closer. He wasn't sure if this would work, but now he was there for her.
Miley rested her head on his chest in her sleep and stopped shivering. Oliver smiled and soon he too fell asleep.
------
Elicpto glared at the eel. "You are useless, why didn't you sink the boat? All you managed to do was tip the girl into her safe haven!" She screeched.
The monster sunk back into his cave, frightened by the goddess shouting. She raised her hand and rocks came tumbling down to lock the eel in there. "That is for not following my orders."
The boy was in the water, out of his safe haven. He could've died, but he didn't because the girl was there. He didn't die because he wanted to save her, so Poseidon protected him.
"If that's the way you want to play it, then fine." She muttered and looked above her. There was the Prince's ship. "Things have just gotten interesting."
Well, all Moliver fans will be pleased. Ha ha, everyone recognize the compass? Go Jack! But that's the only other thing that I'm taking from Disney, all other things to follow will belong to me and me alone! Mwahahaha...
