Dog Youkai Jane – Hehe, yes you would be very confused. Ok, I'm fulfilling my promise now… Here's the 2nd part.
Chapter 6
Within the hour the Dutchman had caught up to the small frigate. She smiled at Koleniko as he approached her.
"Ready?" he asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be," She responded.
"Cap'n says to kill all on board but their captain and first mate. He told you what he was after, correct?" he inquired further. Coley looked at him directly.
"No, what is it he's after?" She asked, now very curious. He grinned wickedly.
"Not ever the crew knows what it is for sure, but all we know is it is some kind of map. Something for navigation." He said, looking out over the sea. Coley let out a shaky sigh. She was very nervous. She decided she couldn't keep her secret bet with the captain a secret anymore so she told Koleniko. He looked at her stupidly, his mouth open and his spikes sticking out.
"You bet with the Captain!?" He said and looked dismayed. "If you lose you have no idea what he could do to you…" he muttered.
"I'll be fine," She reassured him, although she was worried herself.
It was time to board. "Just hold your breath," Clanker told her, and she held onto him as he dragged her into the mast of the Dutchman. She hated that feeling of going between ships. By now the sun was setting and it was getting dark. Between the dim light, the abnormally calm waters, and dying screams of sailors, it was a pretty eerie scene on the frigate.
Coley's fire had gone out and she decided to just go below deck and have a look for these mysterious maps the Cap'n wanted so much. After finding the stairs and descending she was surprised to find candles all down the ships corridors. Easier for me to see then, she told her self. She walked for a bit before coming to the first door. It was a plain room. She decided if there was anything on this ship she might as well look where it would be: the captain's quarters.
After several minutes of running down various hallways and finding nothing she came across a few men. They were both French, she could tell by their blue uniforms. They yelled profanity at her in French as they rushed her. Coley pulled out her sword and easily thrust her sword through the first man's stomach, and slit the second on across the chest from his right shoulder to his left hip. As the fell and she tried to step over them, the one who had been slashed put out his hand and grabbed Coley's coat. She wheeled around and put her sword to the man's throat.
"Où sont les quarts du capitaine?" Where are the captain's quarters? She growled at the man in the most menacing voice she could muster. The man just gave her a blank look, and some blood dripped out of the corner of his mouth before he let go of her coat and dropping his head onto the planks with a dull thump and an inhuman noise. She made a small grimace as she continued on.
After another five minute of searching she found what she was looking for. There was a door decorated quite lovely and made of fine wood. She slowly opened it and marveled at the fact that it was not locked and opened easily. She stepped inside but quickly heard a shout and felt a pain in her left shoulder. She let out a yelp as she looked at three men before her. The man on the left had thrown a small knife into her shoulder. The man in the middle was obviously the captain and was slightly behind the two men. The man on the left reached for his sword as the man on the right reached for his pistol. Coley quickly recoiled and closed the door. She heard a two thumps as the bullet and knife hit the inside of the door. She turned around as a gentile hand came to rest on her right shoulder. She turned and was relieved to see Greenbeard.
"Hold still…" he murmured as he turned her around. He gently pulled the knife from her and disposed of it on the ground.
"Thanks," She said as he nodded.
'Ye be immortal now… That'll be healed by tomorrow." He told her. "Ready?" he asked, checking his sword and putting his left hand on the handle of the door, ready to open it.
"Don't kill any of the three," she told him, "They're the captain and some officers." Greenbeard nodded and opened the door. They both rushed in, sword at the ready. At the sight of the Dutchman's navigator the men easily gave up without a fight.
The two made the three men disarm all their weapons and then they walked out. The three men walked in front of Coley and Greenbeard, and occasionally they would poke their words into the backs of the frightened mortals just for the heck of seeing them jump. Coley wondered why they hadn't looked themselves for the maps when they were down there. Maybe Captain wanted to find them himself?
The rest of the crew was on deck walking about. They had made quick work of the men and now were just scavenging what they could. Gunpowder, some food, and some random pretty trinkets.
They brought the man to Jones who nodded at Greenbeard. He stepped back, but gave Coley a look that told her to stay put. Greenbeard joined the rest of the crew gathering in a circle around the three sailors, a small girl and their terrifying Captain.
"So, gentlemen, I've lost something and I believe you may have position of." He looked to Coley, obviously expecting her to translate. After a moment of thinking she decided on something less formal.
"Il dit il a perdu quelque chose et pense que vous l'avez sur ce navire." He says he lost something and thinks that you have it on this ship, She told the men. She looked at Davy for him to continue.
"Tell these mortals I want the Maps of Sharshay." Coley almost laughed out loud. She had heard of these maps. They were said to lead to the lost island of Sharshay, and who ever found this island would also find something valuable. Her father had always been vague in this story, especially about what could be found there. Coley wish she knew exactly what it was that was on this island. She shrugged it off. Who ever thought of that name must have been on something… She thought as she translated.
"Il veut les Cartes de Sharshay." The three men looked between each other and murmured.
"Si votre capitaine épargne nos vies nous vous les donnerons." If your captain saves our lives we will give them. Coley re-laid this to Davy Jones who nodded. The French captain went below deck with Maccus. They emerged a few minutes later. The French man had rolled up charts in his hands. He handed them to the first mate, Maccus, who walked into the side of their ship. He must be taking them to the captain's cabin, she thought. The three men then cowered in front of Davy as he walked past them and into the same spot Maccus had disappeared in. The rest of the crew dispersed. She walked back over to the Dutchman with Greenbeard. He walked her directly into her room, which Coley was grateful for. She looked at Greenbeard, who turned to walk out the door.
"Wait," she said. "what exactly is at Sharshay?" She asked. Greenbeard turned to her.
"Legend has it a terrible beast lives there. Its master will come to whoever kills this beast. I do not know what Cap'n wants with this beast-tamer." And with that he left Coley alone in her room to contemplate what eh had just said.
