"I'm hardly going to run away when my family and friends lives depend on it!" Tiffany screamed, batting away anyone who tried to get near her. Grey smirked as Edward got smacked in the face.
"I swear, the next person who even approaches me I will murder them!" She screamed and climbed down into a boat. She was joined by Grey.
Jack, Elizabeth, Will, Maria and a few other Pearl crew members were in a different boat. Everyone crammed into the boats and they headed to the dreaded Isla de Muerta.
"We need a plan." Elizabeth whispered to Jack. He nodded in agreement. Maria tapped Elizabeth on the shoulder.
"What do you want?" Elizabeth snapped. Maria took a deep breath.
"I have a plan." Jack turned to her.
"Really? That's interesting. Let's hear it." Elizabeth frowned. She didn't like Maria but if the plan worked that might change.
"Well, we fall behind then when they start the ritual thing we grab the oars off every boat and we can just go and knock every one out. Then we get to Grey and knock him out, leave them all knocked out and row back to the ships. Then we take both ships and get away with everyone alive." Maria said. Jack nodded but Elizabeth scoffed.
"That is not going to work."
"It might." Jack said. Maria grinned but she frowned as she caught sight of Tiffany. Tiffany gave a weak smile but Grey growled something and she turned back to him. Maria sighed and turned back to Will and Jack.
"Stop rowing."
"Oh, right." Jack threw his oar down as did Will.
"Now we wait." And they sat and floated whilst the other row boats rowed passed them.
"Get out." Grey growled at Tiffany.
"I'm getting out!" Tiffany said, annoyed. Grey prodded her in the back with the tip of his sword. Se spun around and went to smack him but stopped as the sword caught her arm.
"Ow." She muttered.
"Now walk." Grey ordered and passed her a lantern. She sighed and held it up taking careful steps into the network of caves.
"I don't know which way to go." She said as she came to a fork. Grey pointed to her right.
"Okay then." And she took the right passage. Tiffany turned to Grey.
"If you need me so much why am I going first?" She asked. He smirked.
"When yer dead we don't much need to keep to the code." She looked at him, disgusted but he prodded her with the sword again. They walked for a while before coming to a big entrance.
"Go in." Tiffany spun around.
"Are you crazy? In fact scratch that. We could all be killed if we go in there. You don't have any idea where it even leads to!" Grey sighed.
"It goes to where we need to be. Now hurry up, girl or I'll run ye through." Tiffany scowled at him but took a deep breath and continued walking. Her eyes widened as the lantern light bounced off hundreds of gold statues, millions of coins and sparkling necklaces. Tiffany felt suddenly drawn in to the room and picked up a golden crown. She fingered the diamonds before placing it on her head.
"I'm a queen. Queen Tiffany of the world and you shall all bow before me." Grey shook his head but took the lantern from Tiffany. She rummaged for a minute before finding something of interest. She picked it up.
"Oh my God!" Hollow eye sockets stared up at her.
"What is it?" Tiffany rubbed her hands on her dress.
"It's a skull. A human skull. Ewww, I touched a dead person." Grey grabbed her wrist and began dragging her through the piles of treasure.
"Show some respect for the dead, girl." He said as she eyed her hand before shaking it like it would suddenly be clean.
"They are dead. They're not coming back so why do I need to?" She tripped over a sceptre and stumbled over landing in a heap. She screamed again.
"What this time?"
"I'm face to, uh, skull with a skeleton. Ooooh, nice hat." She said, taking the hat. Then she remembered she was wearing the crown and chucked the musty hat aside before readjusting her crown.
"Almost at the chest now." Grey said and dragged Tiffany up.
"Why are we in such a rush? And why are we here? Oh, I remember." She rambled. She was scared now. No one had come up with a plan and she had been left alone with Grey.
"There it is. The Chest of Cortez." Tiffany looked up and there, sitting upon a pile of cold, was a chest.Grey pulled Tiffany up to the chest and pushed the lid off. Tiffany gasped.
"Wow." She reached out a ran her hands over the gold coins as Grey walked back down the mound. A pirate like smirked crossed her features.
"Nigh is the time! Three years ago he was killed by Sparrow and now he shall be brought back by Sparrow's wench!" Grey yelled, pulling Tiffany towards him.
"I'm not his wench!" She found herself being held very tightly and a dagger was waved in front of her eyes.
"Perfect." She thought.
"Hurry!" Maria said. Jack and Will rowed faster.
"Why did we leave it so late to row in?" Jack asked. He received angry stares from everyone.
"Because you dropped the oar and Will had to dive in and get it." Elizabeth said. Jack chuckled as he looked at a dripping wet Will.
"Oh that's right." He said and began rowing faster towards the cave.
"What if we're too late?" Maria asked, her voice quiet.
"We won't be." Jack reassured her. He couldn't be too late. He couldn't lose her like this.
"Row faster, eunuch."
"I'm rowing as fast as I can."
"Faster!" Jack hollered until they finally reached the cave inlet where all the other row boats were tied.
"Didn't even think to tie the oars down." Jack said as if it was one of the first things he would have done. Each of the party picked up an oar and began making their way through the same passage that Tiffany and Grey had taken not so long ago. Jack and Will were first to come across the crew of the Red Buccaneer and knocked them out. The they heard the cheers begin.
"We have to hurry." Jack whispered, urgently, and led them all up another cave. They all hid behind rocks as they approached the mob of pirates fronted by Grey.
"We need to wait for the oppertune moment." Maria looked bewildered.
"And when will that be?" Maria asked.
"Nigh is the time! Three years ago he was killed by Sparrow and now he shall be brought back by Sparrow's wench!" Grey yelled, pulling Tiffany towards him.
"I'm not his wench!" She shouted but silenced as the dagger floated in front of her.
"When is the oppertune moment, Jack?" Elizabeth asked, astounded that they were letting her get this close to death. Jack turned to her but as he did Grey took the dagger in both hands and plunged it into Tiffany's stomach. At the cry of her pain he spun around.
"We just missed it." He said.
