Chapter Eight
. Val's PoV .
"Are you almost done?"
"A few more knots and I will be... are you sure there's no more sheets?"
"Nope... hey! Use the curtains!"
"Mmm'k," I said, standing up. I picked up the curtains off the floor and started tying them together, too. I had put my Glinda gown on again... I missed it so much.
"Done!" I whispered excitedly. I threw one end to Julie, and she began securing it to the bedpost.
"Is it long enough?" she asked.
"Pretty long," I replied. "We'll find out in no time."
"I really hope they haven't gotten captured..."
"Nah... Jack knows what he's doing... I think..."
Julie and I then went out the window on the sheet (and curtain) rope, and we ran for the front gate, but it was locked.
"Why does it always have to be locked!" I whined, shaking the bars.
"Shh..." Julie whispered. "I heard something."
"You did?"
"AHHHH!"
"AHHHHHH!"
Three swords surrounded us, and I punched the person in front of me in the face. He fell down...
"Oww! My jaw..."
"Clay?" I asked.
"Yeah... ow... what?"
"Oops..."
"Hey, that was easy..." I heard BJ say.
Julie ran up to him and hugged him, and I helped Clay up.
"What're ye doin' out here?" Jack asked.
"Looking for you!" I said.
"Well, let's get to the ship," BJ said.
"Wait-"
"AHH! Who is that?"
Another dark figure came towards us, and we saw the outline of Will.
"This is crazy..." Clay moaned.
"Will!" How did ye get away?" Jack asked.
"Nevermind that, Ronie-"
"She's here, too!" I asked.
"Yeah... she's locked up and we gotta get her out before she kills herself," Will said.
"Well, come on!" Jack shouted. "To the prison!"
"Huzzah!" I yelled.
. Ronie's PoV .
.1 hour later .
They had gotten me out of the cell, and now we were boarding the ship.
"We'll leave tomorrow," Jack said.
"Why tomorrow?" I asked. "They're searching for us all now!"
"We-"
"Captain! Sir!"
"What is it?" Jack asked the woman who came running up to.
"We need you below decks," she said.
"And what about us?" Brandon asked.
"The five of ye go with Cotton and get some sleep," Jack said.
A scary-looking guy with a parrot on his shoulder suddenly appeared.
"I'm not sleeping in the same room with him," Julie said.
"No," Jack said. "He'll show ye yer room. Will, with me."
We watched Jack and Will walk iff. The Cotton guy led us to a bare room with one hammock, barrels, and straw.
"This is lame..." I said, slamming the door shut as the parrot squawked outside.
"Hammock!" Val yelled. She and Clay ran at it, but Clay won.
Brandon and Julie were in the corner which made me sorta sick...
That ungrateful jerk...
Who needs him?
"You needs him."
I turned around, and Val was standing there in that stupid pink dress from years ago.
"What?"
"I see you, Ronie," she said. "Always glaring at them..."
"Val, go away," I said.
"Fine, but I know you... I'm your best friend."
"Thanks for the info, Glind," I said as she went to the other side of the room.
I hopped up on a barrel to sleep, and I looked from brandon over to Val.
I scowled.
I hate it when she's right.
. 5:30 AM .
I heard shouts and yelling...
I sat up, walke over to the door, and beat my fist on it once.
"Shut up," I moaned angrily, turning to go back to my barrel.
BAM
The door flew open, and five people came barging in with guns screaming, "Get up! You are under arrest by order of the Governor!" The others woke up in all the confusion.
The five of us were surrounded now in the center of the room.
"For what may I ask?" I said impatiently.
"Ronie, shut up," Brandon said.
"You shut up. Where's Blueboy? I know my rights!"
"Come on," one of them said.
"No way! Let go!"
. In the jail cell (again) .
"I DIDN'T DO ANYHING! LET - ME - OUT!"
They walked away, leaving us there.
"You morons! GET BACK HERE!"
"Ronie, just forget it," Brandon said.
"Let's forget you," I said. "That's a better idea."
THUD
I heard footsteps again coming. Blueboy and two of his imps had Will and Jack and threw them in the cell in front of us.
"Hey, get over here," I said.
Blueboy turned to me.
"What the hell is going on?"
"Uh, Ronie? Be nice to Papa Smurf..."
"Val, shut up."
"You have kidnapped the governor's daughter," he said. "Your sentence is pending."
. Val's PoV .
As they turned to leavem I jumped up. I ran over next to Ronie, yelling at them.
"Wait! Alex! Is he ok?"
The kept going, so I yelled louder.
"What about Alex!"
THUD
I slumped to the floor and looked across the hall at Jack.
"What happened?" I asked. "Why-"
"Gibbs forgot to tell me that we picked up a few strangers while I was gone," Jack said.
"Who?" Clay asked.
"WEe know that!" Ronie said. "Who cares?"
"I do!" I said. "What about Alex?"
"Oh, Val..."
"Ronie, drop it."
"Is there a way out?" Julie asked.
"Yeah, maybe," I said. "Ronie, any ideas."
"No."
"Oh, stop being-"
THUD
"Now what?" BJ asked as more footsteps came. My eyes widened.
"Alex!" I yelled. "You're ok!"
the opened our cell door and put him in.
"You," Gillette said, pointing at Ronie and Clay, "over here."
"No way!" Ronie said. "I refuse!"
So they forced her up and threw her into Jack and Will's cell along with Clay. Then they left again.
"Alex! You're ok!"
"Valerie? But-"
"Ah, got washed over in the storm..."
. Ronie's PoV .
. 10 PM .
Val and Alex have not shut up all day.
Brandon and Julie whispered...
But our cell was quiet. The morons in call number one were asleep now, and I just sat between Jack and Clay. Will and Clay were out, too, but Jack was awake.
"It's sickening," he said suddenly.
I looked up at him and followed his eyes to Val and Alex.
"Well, you're a sick-minded person," I said quietly.
"Well it's not my fault," he said. "She's... well... she's grown on me."
I opened my mouth, but I stopped.
"Whoa, hold on... you're jealous?" I asked.
"Well, no, I just... she-"
I started laughing.
"It's not funny," he said.
"You? In love? With Val? No, that's not funny..."
"Thank ye..."
"That's freakin' hilarious! HA!"
"So what?" he asked. "Ye still like yer lad..."
I stopped laughing.
"My lad? He's got Julie... and I do not want him back."
"Denial's not healthy, luv..."
"Get off it!" I said. "Don't you even go near Val."
"Mmhmmm... I hear ye..."
"You better!"
"Think of a way out yet?"
"WhaT? No! What's with the sudden change of subject?"
"I might have one idea..."
"Jack!"
He got up and managed to reach some rope outside our cell.
. Brandon's PoV .
"Pst... psst..."
"Ehh..."
"Lad! wake up!"
"Huh?"
I sat up, and Jack threw me a rope.
"What?"
"hold on to it til some guard walks by," Jack said. "Then pull it."
"What good's that?" I heard Ronie ask.
"Ye'll see."
. Dawn .
THUD
The guard was coming to give us food.
"Pull!" Jack whispered.
The guard tripped and landed in our food, and I saw the keys in his hands fly up, and Jack caught them.
"Nice catch," I said.
"No one can hold Captain Jack Sparrow for too long," he said, swinging the keys about.
"Indeed."
The keys were suddenly taken from Jack, and we looked up to see Gilette now pocketing them.
"Sorry, Sparrow, but can't have you escape before your sentence has been carried out."
"For what?" Ronie blurted out.
"All eight of you are scheduled to be hangedthis afternoon for the kidnapping of Miss elizabeth Swann," Gilette said calmly.
"Eight?" I yelled. "We had nothing to do with it! Hey! Come back here!"
He walked away, and Julie and Will began to stir.
THUD
"Jackass!" Ronie yelled after him.
"Whoa... what happened?" Julie asked.
"Yeah... are you two into it again/" Will asked me and Ronie.
"No," I said.
"Yeah, the lot of us have just been sentenced to be hanged later on," Ronie said, leaning back beside Jack.
"What? But Elizabeth-"
"Save it, boy," Jack said. "Ye're not on the other end of the noose to help us this time."
Ooo, harsh...
Then Alex and Clay woke up. I was so freaking out... everything is bad.
Really bad.
