Ooops... almost forgot Review Replies!

The following people will forever be loved by me:

keiraliz: I love Elizabeth too. Some people hate her cause she's so pretty, which I think is really shallow. Yes, you're now officially loved forever!

Sparrow'sWing21: Yes, waking up as prisoners is a slight handicap! lol!

SaveroftheMoon: Because you have to read on... (Tehe! I love being annoying!)

Nelle07: Yeah, that bit's hilarious! I'm starting to work on it right after this.

Valor: She really does have a one track mind lol! They don't meet for very long, but when they get off the island and are on the Pearl it should be interesting!

"Isabel?" he barely even breathed it. It was such a huge surprise my heart did an odd little jump. I saw my grin of shock reflected in his eyes. I tilted my head to get a proper look at him and see if he was the same as I remembered. He wasn't. He was better. His smile grew wider, "Hello, love."

"Jack!" I said. I cast around for something intelligent to say, but before I could manage it I got distracted. "Why do you have eyes on your face?"

He laughed and opened his mouth to reply, but Will's angry tones cut him short. "Jack have you listened to anything I've said?! It's your fault we're in this mess and it's up to you to get us out of it!"

Jack's smile quickly faded and he looked around at the fearsome tribe, who had been looking at the two of us with interest. He took a deep breath and said something in their language. I felt myself moving away from him. He walked quickly alongside me. He leant down. "Save me," he whispered, his breath tickling my ear.

Then he was gone and the ground beneath me was moving as we were carried along. Will started shouting and kicking up a fuss, screaming something about Elizabeth, but I wasn't listening. What Jack had just said had sent my mind whirring. What did he need saving from? Whatever it was, I would do everything in my power to stop it.

I trust the wooden bridge underneath me. It didn't look strong enough. I eyed it suspiciously before we stopped. We were there, wherever 'there' was. I heard some ominous scraping sounds and then some disgruntled voices. Voices that were speaking English. Voices I knew.

"Curse ye all for breathin'" muttered on very distinguishable voice.

"Gibbs!" I shouted.

"Where's Gibbs?" Will called, hearing my shout.

"Here!" Gibbs replied. "What are you two doing here?"

I yelped as the ropes tying my hands were suddenly cut loose. I whacked my back off the hard wood of the bridge, but it must have been stronger than I thought because I didn't go through it. I was momentarily winded, but had no time to recover before I was hauled to my feet. I heard another thwack and an "Ooof" from nearby and assumed the same thing had just happened to Will. I felt myself being pushed forward and shoved into a huge, round cage that had been pulled onto the bridge.

Gibbs, Marty and Cotton were sanding in the cage along with some pirates I didn't recognise. They smiled at me and Will as he was pushed in after me. The tribe men pushed the cage and it teetered in the edge before it tipped over the side of the bridge. I bit back a scream. The cage was slowly, but not carefully, lowered into the chasm of grey rock that the bridge had stretched between. We swung through air on a long piece of rope as we went down. I hoped the rope, like the bridge was stronger than it looked.

I concentrated on not looking down, I didn't want to see how deep the chasm was encase the rope was indeed to snap.

"Gibbs, why is Jack out there and not in here?" I asked.

"He's the chief," Gibbs replied. We came to a not-so-gentle stop.

"If Jack is chief then why is he doing this to us?" asked Will angrily.

"Aye, the Pelegostos made Jack their chief, but he is only their chief so long as he acts like a chief," Gibbs explained. Will relaxed a little.

"So he had no choice, he's a captive then, as much as the rest of us," he muttered.

"Worse as it turns out," said Gibbs. I gulped. What could be worse than being suspended in the air by a thin piece of rope? "The Pelegostos believe Jack is a God in human form…"

That made me laugh despite the seriousness of Gibbs's tone, "I can't see him objecting to that!"

Gibbs looked at me seriously and my laughter fell short. "They intend to do the honour of releasing him from his fleshy prison."

I felt a horrible sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Will looked confused. To illustrate what Gibbs meant and confirm my fears, Cotton grabbed Gibbs's hand and bit it. Gibbs winced in pain and glowered at Cotton before turning sombrely back to us, "They'll roast him and eat him."

"No!" I choked out and my hand flew to my mouth. My eyes stung.

"Where's the rest of the crew?" Will was just as alarmed as I, but unlike me, he was more calm and composed.

"These cages weren't built until after we got here," Gibbs told us and realizing that his hand was resting on the bones of a former crew member, not bars of a cage, he quickly removed it. He looked around, as a drum beat started in the distance, "The feast is about to begin. Jack's life will end when the drums stop."

"Then we can't just sit here and wait, can we?" I said, determined to save Jack. No matter what the cost.
