Chapter 3: Pirates And Swords, Not Great

Quick Disclaimer: I do not own anything Disney, characters, attractions or otherwise. I only own my 10 OC's and the unfolding plot of this story, so no flames please!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Third Person P.O.V.

While four girls were screaming their heads off on the Haunted Mansion, there was an equally long line at the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Emily Daniels had been passing the time talking to another fellow contest winner, Carly Garner. The heat had dropped, something that had never happened so fast, and both girls were shivering from the sudden cold.

"At least you have long hair, Carly. It's long enough to be a scarf!" complained Emily, jealous of her new friends long brown tresses, which were interspersed with red highlights.

"Oh come on, your hair is cute too! Short hair is good for Florida, except for today," said Carly, Emily smiling while fingering her dark blond hair. As they got to the front of the line to board the boats, no sooner had they sat down when two girls ran and jumped in, making it rock a little.

"Let me guess. Other contest winners?" asked Carly, smiling.

"Yeah, they told us to get to the front of the line," laughed one of the girls. As the boats started to move, names were passed around. The two new girls were Kim Richardson and April Dover, the first having about shoulder length hair that was so blond it was almost white and the latter hair an interesting shade of blue that went past her shoulders. We all screamed in joy as we went down the waterfall, the spray of the water both surprising as well as amusing. The ride had gotten to the part where the whole town is on fire, sparks flying to create the lifelike illusion. The boat then stopped, almost jerking the girls off their seats.

"Well, the lassies have finally arrived" one of the animatronics, that looked like Blackbeard said suddenly, all of us screaming loudly.

"That's weird, it's kind of like that pirate spoke to us" Kim laughed nervously, her laughter getting cut off as the pirate leaned toward the boat. The pirate smiled, though it was neither kind nor friendly. More like a leer. The girl's leaned back, petrified with fear.

"Tis true, lassie, I did speak to ye. But I'm afraid this is where your ride comes to a quick end!" he said, raising his sword towards them, which they now saw was covered in blood. Whether it was fake or not, it looked real enough for the pirate to make his point.

"What are you talking about, what do you want with us?" asked Carly, looking at the pirate, not as afraid as the others.

"I think I'll kill you first," he said, and it looked like it was curtains for Carly, when another sword came between her neck and Blackbeard's sword.

"A good thing to do right now loves, is run!" came the voice they all knew from the pirate's movie. Jack Sparrow had come into a sword fight right in front of them, seemingly on their side.

"Get out of here, or you're going to end up as new additions at the Haunted Mansion, savvy?" he said, as the boat started up again. As soon as it stopped, the 4 girls jumped up and ran, almost crashing into another group of four girls, all of them having the same look of fear on their faces.

"Did you guys just have something weird happen to you too?" asked the girl with bright red hair, her eyes wild with fear.

"Well yeah. Unless you count a pirate holding a sword to your throat a normal day at Disney World!" said April, her whole body trembling as she thought of what could have happened to Carly.

"Well here's a tip, avoid the Haunted mansion at all costs" said the black haired girl, making her point by shaking Emily by her shoulders.

"If this is what a free trip to Disney World includes, I don't want to be here at all!" said Carly, rubbing her neck where the sword had nearly cut her.

"Is this really the happiest place on earth?" asked Emily, voicing the question on everyone's mind.

So it seems like Disney World is a more dangerous place then we've been led to believe. What attraction will turn dark next I wonder? We've been introduced to four more O.C.'s, Kim, April, Carly and Emily. Pirates has to be my favorite ride after Haunted Mansion, and though I've only been to the park twice, I remember both very fondly. Please tell me what you think!
