Hey!!! I need more reviews please! Im sorry that the next chapter is taking some time, but please! Make sure you give me a comment of two on this one!
I do not own any of the characters from the films, but I do own Carla and Crem, so leave them be! They belong to me!
They walked and walked, for ages and ages, it was as if whatever had made these tunnels was hoping for them to either die of exhaustion before they reached what was at the end, or be so tired that they die at the end. When Jack feebly voiced this the already gloomy crew became even more pessimistic.
One thing that could be noticed was that Barbossa seemed to know the way really rather well, yet he was not speaking to anyone apart from to say 'We should go this way.' And then carried on walking. Jack was the only person really to notice this, so he let the notion pass and carried on following behind him.
The further they walked the warmer the air became, and more and more torches could be found on the walls, by now everyone had one, and yet there was still more!
Pintel suddenly woke his brain up and realised where they must be.
'Wait! Didn't that Crem say that she was the goddess of fire?' he asked worriedly
'Why yes dead Pintel she did!' mocked Jack, returning to his normal self once more and turning around to face him, but Barbossa carried on striding ahead with a purpose. There was a small collision between the stopped and those who were still walking on steadily
'And it is getting warmer in here…'
'You don't say!' Jack cut him short but he carried on.
'So you don't think that we might be getting nearer to her?!' He had a definite note of panic in his small voice that told Jack that pushing the jokes any further might not be a good idea.
'Aye, we be getting' pretty close now.' Said Barbossa from up front. It was the first time he had spoken to them in a while, and there was something in his voice also that Jack and the rest of the crew picked up.
'Barbossa?' Asked Ragetti tentatively
'What?' He spat turning round further down the passage.
'Your voice… You seem odd somehow, are you OK?'
'Course I'm OK!' Barbossa turned a shade of scarlet quickly at the comment
'Are you sure mate, you don't seem right.' Put in Jack, trying to be helpful
'Yes of course I'm sure! Now just quit asking questions will you!?'
He carried on down the passage then stopped. When the rest of the crew caught up with him they found what he had stopped at. There was a door. It was so large that you could have laid it flat and placed the Pearl on top of it and it would have still been larger. Barbossa lifted a hand, said prepare yourself (at this moment every man drew his sword) and he twisted the door handle.
The door creaked open loudly and mysteriously, and out from the room poured a surge of heat and steam. They edged in cautiously, not knowing what they were up against. The room was elaborately decorated, full of rich materials and sweet foreign smells. There were red and gold drapes hung up on the walls, and an intricate chair which looked like a throne stood at the top of a large series of steps. The room was large and the ceiling was just as large and beautifully decorated with murals and plasterwork. This place reminded the crew largely of Sao Feng's large spa because of all the steam that the floor was emitting, however it was much more beautiful.
As they walked in a loud scream of relief came out from somewhere. It sounded like it came from the ceiling, but on first glance they couldn't see what had made it. That was until they walked into the middle of the room and looked back on the door. There in a beautifully made gold cage stood Carla. She was her long brown shorts and a tight fitting matching brown top. Her shirt was torn and at the bottom of the cage and to everyone's horror it was bloodstained. The absence of her waistcoat shocked Jack into seeing just how like a little lady she had become. She had her mother's perfect figure, and she had a fabulous tan from spending so much time on the boat.
'CARLA!' their relief showed in the way they called her name.
'You came to find me!' she squeaked excitedly, then as if she had just remembered something she clapped her hand to her mouth and then put her finger to her lips. 'She can't know you're here! She will kill you if she sees you trying to rescue me! You must go! I don't want any of you to die just for me! I'm only a child, I can be spared!' she whispered quickly through gritted teeth
'Are you mad?! There is no way we will ever go without you whether we die here or not!' Said Jack
'Awww… How loving! Daddy is here to rescue his little girl is he?' The voice echoed around the empty hall, it was mocking, insulting and unbearable.
'Cremedia! Show yourself!' Jack yelled into the silence.
'Are you really sure you want to see me Captain Daddy?'
'Its Captain Jack for your information, we give you enough respect to use your preferred name, so I would appreciate it if you would call us by ours. And yes, I would like to see the person who kidnapped my daughter, thank you very much!'
'Well Captain Jack, if you insist! Why don't you ask Barbossa what I look like though? After all, we have met before.'
Everybody turned and looked at Barbossa who was a bright scarlet colour in the face. 'You know her?' Asked Jack quietly, obviously shocked.
'Aye, I do know her. And I had hoped that I would never have to see her again.' He replied loudly, talking to the whole group in general.
'So, you been keeping secrets now Hector? About our private life? I banished you to the sea because of what happened, but you never told me that you were in fact a pirate all along! I thought the sea would be punishment for you! She shrieked, the words bouncing off the high ceiling and echoing in everyone's eardrums.
'Crem! Let me explain m'dear!'
'NO! Let me explain!' she ripped some curtains out of her way in fury to look him in the eye, letting everyone see her for the very first time. She was stunningly beautiful, she had radiance that filled the room, yet there was something not quite right about her. She had long dark hair, she was pale skinned, she wore a strapless red dress that hugged her figure tightly before tapering down into a many layered frock. Her make up was heavy, and around her neck was the locket that Carla had stolen from the cabin. She was so angry that all these beautiful features were lost in her anger, she stormed over to Barbossa and grabbed his left hand and held it up to show the big, black oval ring on his ring finger that the whole crew had become accustomed to, and thought to be nothing special.
'Do you know what this is?' she screamed at them, 'This ring that Captain Barbossa is kindly modelling for us? This ring is the thing that was a symbol of our love for each other, an engagement ring! And do you know what? I have the matching one!' she held up her own hand to show a matching glinting black rock on it.'
The crew were in shock, was this the reason she kidnapped Carla?
Please review for me! Pretty please!?
