Chapter 4: Isla Del Muerta
By sunrise the next day, Evie, Sally and Brad had grown quite accustomed to living in the 1700's. Fitting Evie's abnormally large bust in to a corset was not as easy to get used to.
Evie had spent the night in the Commodore's quarters, now seeing that their secret was out, she made no attempt to stay quiet.
After having a full day in the brig, Draco Malfoy was much better behaved than he was the morning prior.
Along with Evie and Sally, Ginny, Cho, Hermione and Pansy had also been fitted into corsets, much to the crew's liking.
The boys had all dawned breeches, boots, and jackets, much similar to the attire of Will and Jack as opposed to the Commodore's uniform.
As the day dragged by, Sally set up post at the bow and watched the waves. The ocean had an odd affect on sally, an affect she quite liked. It made her feel calm, or maybe it was the fact that she loved the smell of salt water.
She wondered where Brad and Evie had run off to. In the distance, she heard faint yelling and small squeaks. She made a mental note to tell Evie and Elizabeth to keep the noise down quite a few decibels. With that thought, she smirked to herself.
So lost in her own thoughts, Sally didn't even notice Will Turner walking over to her.
"Lovely day." Will began.
Sally broke out of thought and turned to him with a smile. "Yes, it is."
Will cleared his throat. "So, are you like your friends… you know…"
Sally burst out laughing as Will turned bright red. "No!" She finally calmed herself and looked back to Will. "No, Mr. Turner, I am not like Brad and Evie. I only give myself away to those who work for it!"
"Well put!" Will said with a confident smile as his blush left his cheeks. "And if someone were willing to fight for it?"
She smiled and gave him a flirtatious smile. "Then they just might get it!"
Just then, the watch called out, "Land Ho!" This made Will and Sally look out over the water. Just barely visible in the distance was the Isla Del Muerta.
Both turned and headed for the helm where Jack stood with his compass.
Brad, Elizabeth, Evie and the Commodore returned to the deck. Evie walked over by Sally and had a most pleased smile on her face.
Sally whispered something to Evie making her giggle uncontrollably.
Will walked over to Jack and looked at the compass. Will looked to where it was pointing and saw a rather bushy haired girl making eyes at Jack. Will walked over to Evie and Sally.
"Who is she?" He said pointing to Hermione.
Sally and Evie looked where he was pointing. "Hermione Granger, why?" said Evie looking back to Will. "Do you fancy her?" Sally put in with a devious smile.
Will laughed at this. "Of course not but I do believe your dear Jack does!"
The girl's turned their gaze to Jack and laughed when they saw him gazing dreamy eyed at Hermione.
"You have to be kidding me!" Sally said in disbelief. "Jack and Hermy?"
Evie agreed. "That's breaks all the laws of modern literature! Well, future literature, anyway."
Sally and Evie watched, fascinated by the attraction of the two fictional characters.
"Well, at least they have similar hair." Commented Evie.
Sally laughed, as did Will. Their laughter was interrupted by orders shouted from Jack.
"Way anchor! Prepare the long boat! Mistresses Evie and Sally, young William and I are to go ashore."
Mr. Gibbs nodded. "Aye, Captain." When he turned to walk away and do as he was told, Gibbs stepped right into the path of Jack the monkey, Ragetti and Pintel.
Jack had Ragetti's eye again and the dynamic duo was after him. Jack moved quickly to avoid Gibbs while Ragetti and Pintel ran straight into him.
From the bottom of the pile, trapped beneath the two, Gibbs struggled to get up.
Grunting, he was able to move enough to speak. "Get up you stupid idiots!" Red in the face, Gibbs was finally free of the two.
Pintel and Ragetti stood at a nervous attention while Mr. Gibbs stood up. Mr. Gibbs said nothing; he just walked away, bright red and steaming, well almost.
Everyone laughed when Mr. Gibbs was out of ear shot.
Lord Beckett came up on deck to see what everyone was laughing about.
At the sight of Beckett, Pansy Parkinson left her clump of Slytherins and followed him to the helm.
"What is the meaning of all this bloody noise?" Beckett said, slightly annoyed.
Before anyone could begin to explain, Pansy came up behind Beckett, wrapping her arms around him.
"Pardon me, but Cutler here has an urgent appointment with my Chamber of Secrets. I would so hate for him to miss it." Said Pansy with a seductive smile.
Beckett smiled happily and returned below deck with Pansy, who was already fiddling with his belt.
Evie watched them leave and then slowly turned to Sally who said, "Yeah, that wasn't awkward."
Once the boat was ready, Evie, Sally, Will and Jack climbed in. Sally watched intently as Will rowed them to shore. Evie and Jack waved quietly to Norrington and Hermione.
When they neared the island, Will and Jack climbed out and pulled the boat upon the beach. Evie and Sally climbed out too and walked around.
"Where to now?" said Evie looking around.
"What are you looking for Ev? There isn't going to be a sign saying, GO HERE." Sally said yawning.
"That's what you think."
The girls turned around and saw Will and Jack standing next to a makeshift sign that read TO TIA DALMA'S.
"Well, what do you know?" Sally said laughing.
They all followed the sign down a path to Tia Dalma's. The path was small and slightly over grown, so Sally had no problem walking close to Will. Evie and Jack walked single file while Evie looked around her.
Out of the corner of her eye, Evie caught sight of something she recognized. She stopped in her tracks, causing Jack to walk right into the back of her.
"Well, excuse me!" Said Jack as he walked around her.
"Sal!" Evie called walking toward the familiar object.
Sally looked away from Will. "WHAT?"
"You gotta see this!"
