Hey everyone I have a new chapter of my favorite couple. There will be blood and scary skeletons. For those who have feinted in front blood may not want to read this chapter. There will be slightly drinking. Enjoy.
Chapter 12
The origin of the curse
Meanwhile on the RLS Legacy, Ariel was pacing in her stateroom. 'I know that the navy will come and find me. Considering that I'm the Governor's daughter. I wander how Jim is taking this…' She thought with a worried look. Her thought was stopped when Jasper and Horus entered into her room. Jasper was carrying a dark aqua dress and Horus was fixing his fake eye. "You'll be dinin' with the captain. And he requests you wear this." Said Jasper as he handed her the dress. No way was Ariel going to dine with a pirate and she already hated the cyborg captain after treating her like a parakeet in a cage. Ariel then somewhat quoted the pirate Captain and said with an icy tone, "Well, you may tell the captain that I am disinclined to acquiesce to his request." Both of the pirates laughed lightly at this and Jasper said with an evil grin, "He said you'd say that. He also said if that be the case, you'll be dinin' with the crew…and you'll be naked." Horus giggled to himself at the thought of seeing Ariel naked. Ariel scowled and snatched the dress.
Ariel was not going to have dinner with a pirate crew and be naked. Jasper and Horus's evil smile faded and Jasper said, "Fine." The pirates set up the table and setting. Ariel came in with the new dress she was wearing and went to her chair. She then sat and begins to eat daintily. She was taught to eat this way because of her father being the Governor. Silver saw this and said with a sly grin, "There's no need to stand on ceremony, nor call to impress anyone. You must be hungry." Ariel then dived into the chicken as she ripped the meat off the bone. She hadn't had any food since she was aboard the ship. Sliver looked at her and thought, 'This girl has quite the appetite.' He then poured a glass of wine, handed her the goblet, and said, "Try the wine." Ariel grabbed the goblet and drank it. 'The wine is quite good.' She thought as gulped it down. Silver then grabbed a green apple and said, "And the apples?" He then offered the apple to her and said, "One of those next."
Ariel then dropped the goblet and thought, 'Oh, dear god…' She then spoke out her thought and said with a worried look, "It's poisoned." Sliver chuckled and said with a sly grin, "There would be no sense to be killing ye, Miss Hawkins." Ariel didn't understand, they had the trinket. What value could she be to them? She then said, "Then release me, you have your trinket; I'm of no further value to you." Sliver then pulled out the medallion and asked, "You don't know what this is, do ye?" Ariel then answered in a stern tone, "It's a pirate medallion." Silver then told the story of the medallion, "This is Aztec gold… one of 882 identical pieces they delivered in a stone chest to Cortés himself. Blood money paid to stem the slaughter he wreaked upon them with his armies. But the greed of Cortés was insatiable. So the heathen gods placed upon the gold…a terrible curse. Any mortal that removes but a single piece from that stone chest shall be punished for eternity."
Ariel couldn't believe what the cyborg pirate was saying. She then gave a disbelief look and said, "I hardly believe in ghost stories anymore, Captain Silver." Sliver made a sly grin and said, "Aye. That's exactly what I thought when we were first told the tale. Buried on an Planet of Dead what cannot be found except for those who know where it is." His face turned serious and continued, "Find it, we did. There be the chest. Inside be the gold. And we took 'em all. We spent 'em and traded 'em and frittered 'em away on drink and food and pleasurable company." His face then made a worried look. "The more we gave 'em away, the more we came to realize…the drink would not satisfy, food turned to ash in our mouths, and all the pleasurable company in the world could not slake our lust. We are cursed men, Miss Hawkins. Compelled by greed, we were, but now we are consumed by it." His monkey was now screeching and jumping up and down. Sliver then went to his monkey and tried to calm it down. Ariel then grabbed a butter knife and hid it in the napkin. Sliver finally calmed down his pet and said, "There is one way we can end our curse. All the scattered pieces of the Aztec gold must be restored and the blood repaid. Thanks to ye, we have the final piece."
Ariel gulped and asked nervously, "And the blood to be repaid?" Sliver then made a sly grin and said, "That's why there's no sense to be killin' ye…yet." Ariel's eyes widen and realized that she was going to be killed. Sliver offered her the same green apple and asked, "Apple?" Ariel swatted the apple out of his hand and grabbed the napkin that had the knife in it. Sliver followed the redhead and tried to scare her of and said, "Arr." Sliver then popped in front of Ariel and the redhead stabbed the cyborg in the heart. She then looked at the pirate and found that he didn't die from the stab. The cyborg then pulled out the knife that was covered in his blood and said with a smirked, "I'm curious – after killin' me what was it you plannin' on doing next?" Ariel was terrified and thought, 'That knife should have killed him.' She then opened the doors and found decaying skeletons working on the ship. She was then chased by a decaying skeleton and stopped at the helm. She was between the helm and pulled it down. The skeleton's head went backwards and he snapped it back in place. Ariel then hid herself underneath the stairs and was surprised when she saw that the monkey was cursed too. She then went into the Captain's stateroom and Sliver stopped her in her tracks and turned her around.
Sliver then explained as Ariel saw the moon, "Look! The moonlight shows us for what we really are. We are not among the living, and so we cannot die, but neither are we dead." He then turned Ariel around so that she was looking at the cyborg face to face. Sliver then said with a serious face, "For too long I've been parched with thirst and unable to quench it. Too long I've been starving to death and haven't died. I feel nothing – not the wind on my face nor the spray of the sea, nor the warmth of a woman's flesh." Ariel backed away from the cyborg when he put his robotic arm out into the moonlight as it turned into rust. He then went into the moonlight as he revealed his decaying skeleton form and said, "You best start believing in ghost stories Miss Hawkins. You're in one!" Ariel was terrified as Sliver grabbed a bottle of wine and pulled the cork out with his teeth. He then drank the drink as the wine went through his ribs. Ariel then ran into her stateroom as Sliver threw the wine bottle. He then laughed heartedly and so did his crew. He then yelled, "What are ye looking at? Back to work!" The skeletons scrambled and one of the pirates yelled, "You heard the Captain. Back to work." Ariel was shaking with fear and thought, 'What have I gotten myself into?'
