Chapter 11: Natives
She was very content being wrapped up in Jimmy's embrace. 'I think I'm even losing track of time.' Minutes flew by and Bella was sure she heard yelling from the deck. "Jimmy?" She saw him look at the door as he slowly stood up. She stood up, too. Jimmy moved forward a small step with what seemed to be hesitation. He waved his hand at his side, motioning for her to stay. Bella fell silent, nervous about what was going on. She thought she heard a gun shot and her eyes grew wide. Bella's heart started beating faster as the door burst open. Jimmy was swift and pulled out what looked to be a handgun, which he pointed at the strange people in the doorway.
Bella stood close behind Jimmy, alarmed at the situation. She never saw people who looked like that before. Dark skinned, tribal tattoos, wooden piercings, and wearing nothing but cloths. 'Who are these people? The three people seem to be natives,' Bella assumed. 'But where did they come from? The island?' She shuffled forward slightly, grabbing the back of Jimmy's blue button down shirt. A drum sounded loudly in the distance as the three natives stared at them with what looked to be curiousity, and ran off at the sound of the drum. "J-Jimmy..." she stuttered, dropping her grip on his shirt as he put away the gun and turned around. He smiled weakly and began to say something as Bella saw Ann, shouting frantically in the hallway outside the door. "Ann! Are you okay?" Bella asked her.
Ann nodded with a gulp. "Jack's not."
Jack walked and stood behind his wife. "Yes I am." He was holding his hand to the back of his head.
"Jack! You're bleeding because they hit you with a club!" she shouted at him.
He smiled. "It's not the first time it's happened."
Jimmy walked over to the two. "Jack, I can take you to the medical kit in the galley," he offered.
Jack smiled. "Sounds great."
Ann sighed shakily before giving Jack a kiss and walking past Jimmy to sit. Bella sat down with her as the two men left to tend Jack's wound. Bella picked at the button on her shirt. "Bella?" Ann asked with concern.
She over at Ann. "Yeah?"
"Are you alright?"
Bella shrugged. "Just shaken up."
Ann nodded and stared at the doorway, looking sad. "There were people just like them on Skull Island."
"Skull Island. Why does it always come to that in conversation?" Bella asked.
Ann told Bella everything bout Skull Island, and what happened to her and Jack. "Many people died," she said grimly. "A majority of the ship's crew and Carl's filming crew."
"Carl Denham, as in the filmmaker? He's the one who caught Kong, right?"
Ann seemed to flinch at the name 'Kong'. "Yes, but he's in jail now, thank god."
Just as she finished her sentence, Jack returned. "All better now," he said sitting on the other bed.
"Where's Jimmy?" Bella questioned.
"He went on deck to check in with Englehorn."
Bella was curious and stood up. "Where are you going?" Ann asked her.
"I wanna see the island with my own eyes," she told her, looking back from the doorway.
"You shouldn't go," Jack warned her. "It's messy on deck I heard."
She shook her head and ran off to the deck. Once she stepped out, she saw quite a sight. Men were wounded and sitting around, holding guns, and blood covered large spots of the deck. "Oh my..." Bella's hand flew to her mouth and she felt her legs sway under her as everything around her began to spin. That's the last thing she saw before the darkness surrounded her.
A/N: Heh. If you didn't notice, I had trouble describing the natvies. They're supposed to look nearly identical to the ones from Skull Island. And I don't delve into it but they're apart of the same tribe as the Skull Island natives. But for how they got there, I don't know fully. Maybe Kong threw them there or one of the bat things flew 'em. Lol. Use your imagination to fill in the blanks or suggest something when you review! (I hope you do!)
Next chapter is kinda intresting I think. And Bruce Baxter actually has a semi-important role. (Ick.) Anyway. Please R&R.
