I thank DecemberAndy for the correction, I honestly didn't realize until he (or she) pointed that out. And Jennie.F-101, she texted me and said "Rach, you wrote 'this is chapter four' in chapter three," and I was like "did I really?! *checks from phone browser* oh yeah I did! I must be bonkers back then."
Also, I thank 5 guests, Rumbuss and Secret Visitor (the name kind of bothers me a bit) for the reviews. Reviewers tend to cheer me up when I'm sad, or freaking out. I freak out every now and then, but your not here to hear me ramble! On with da story!
'where am I? I'm supposed to be on the QueeeeeeEEEE-' "AAAAAAAAAARRRR!"Jack screamed as he fell from the sky. He was pretty high up, and below him was a rope bridge with no wooden planks, he grabbed the rope with his right hand. After that, he saw Angelica falling and caught her with his left. The bridge was over a river between two cliffs.
"Jack! How did we-"
"I don't know," he cut her,
"let go, Jack. You can't hold us both,"
"I'm not letting you die!"
"Jack, it's not too high up. And I think the river below is a bit deep,"
"still, I can't-" he was cut off by an odd looking bird landing on his hand that was holding on the rope. It looks like a dodo bird. "shoo!" Jack said, but the bird didn't move an inch. It started pecking on his fingers. "ow! Shoo!" but the bird kept pecking. Finally he let go because he can't stand the pain. The bird squawked happily, it sounded almost like a cackle.
"JACK!" Angelica shouted with anger, they landed in the water and swam to the surface. "ye did say let go," Jack said between pants.
"I didn't mean both of your hands, bastardo,"
"well at least we survived,"
"this could've been easier if you just let me go,"
"then what? You'd be wandering alone and I'll be wandering alone. It's best we stick together,"
"oh right. Your presence makes it all worthwhile," She said sarcastically. They argued all the way they swam to shore. Jack took off his boots and got a lot of water out of it. "wet, wet again," he said. "Jack, what happened to your leg?" Angelica said as she saw a huge and moderately deep cut on it. "I don't know, I haven't noticed until you said it. Which I wish you didn't because now I know it's there, and it hurts," Jack replied. "let me see that," Angelica said as she pulled his pants up. "we need a bandage," she stated, she cleaned the wound with the river water. "ow!" Jack exclaimed as the water touched his skin. "use some of your clothes, luv," he said, he was seriously flirting at a time like this. Angelica ripped of her sleeve, much to Jack's dismay. After she finished bandaging it Jack smirked an said, "you should've used the fabric over here-" he said as he pointed to her chest, he was cut off by Angelica pushing him back in the river. "ey! I was just getting dry there!" Jack said as he emerged back on land.
"you did that to yourself, idiota,"
"unless you find me appealing when I'm soaked," seeing Angelica's angry face after he said that, he bolted away on the path on the side of the river. Jack had a slight limp in his run. Angelica chased after him. They reached a clearing of a beach, a quiet, sandy, white beach. Jack stopped and looked around, "where are we?" he said. Angelica caught up to him and gave him a smack on the head. "haven't you tortured me enough, luv?" he said with a pout. "that face is not going to work on me," Angelica said firmly, "but maybe this will," he replied and spontaneously kissed her. At first, she was a bit shocked, but then she melted into the kiss like so many times before. He was right, it worked.
"Hey, Zal. Should I... you know... speak up?" Rachel whispered to Zaltana Istas, a native American skeleton next to her. They found Jack and Angelica smooching near the beach. Zaltana just shrugged. Zaltana wore a tan headband that covered his left eyehole. His right eye was still there. And he also wore a big feather headdress.
"I don't want to ruin the moment," Rachel whispered again.
Zaltana tapped Jack's shoulder. "-what? How long have you two been standing there?!" he said as he pulled away in shock.
"Quite awhile," Rachel replied.
"You could've said something," Angelica said, with a slight blush on her face.
"Yeah well I didn't want to ruin the moment,"
"How did you get here?"
"Fell from the sky and on his shack," Rachel said as she pointed to Zaltana. Zaltana just shrugged again.
"He doesn't talk much doesn't he?" Jack said, looking at Zaltana. He shrugged again. "More like hardly ever," Rachel replied, "But he does talk."
"How did we get here? Or, fall from the sky?" Angelica cut in, "We were eaten by a fish," Rachel replied.
"Eaten by a fish?" Jack repeated, Zaltana nodded.
"A very very very very very rare fish. A Portfish that only exists in the bermuda,"
"How does that relate to falling from the sky?" Angelica questioned.
"Well, you see... Portfishes swallow people -or things, their intestines have some kindof magic curse thingy that transports the stuff they swallow elsewhere,"
"So it's like a portal inside a fish?" Jack said.
"Kind of. And the fish probably scratcthed your leg. Or perhaps the corosive liquid inside it... eh that doesn't matter,"
"Where are we?" Angelica asked.
"We're still in the bermuda. On a different island,"
"Where's my father?"
"Your still calling him father after everything? He probably went on a different intestine,"
"He is still my father,"
"Yeah well, we need to get back to the main island, get a map of bermuda. And pinpoint his location from there,"
"And how will we do that?" Jack said, Zaltana made a weird gesture with his hands. "You want a dragon ride?" Rachel said, and he nodded. "Very well, let's call him then."
meanwhile on the Queen~
"Captain? what ye be doin here? I thought ye were looking for the water from the chaimber?" Came Scrum from under the decks. "ol' Jack got it before me. And a strange lady said it can't get the ships out of bottles," Barbossa replied. "Master Gibbs? I thought ye were thrown off board just awhile ago?" Scrum said to a soaked Gibbs. "yeah, well apparently there've been strange things going on," Gibbs said.
"Scrum, did ye hear anyone land on the ship?" Barbossa said,
"actually yes, sounded like a fish jumped on board. That's why I came up here. But I ain't seein anything," Scrum replied.
"Exactly why we asked you," Gibbs stated, it was almost dark and they could see the sun setting. A bit of the sun rays hit the wet deck, all of them squinted their eyes in disbelief. "Are you seein' what I'm seein'?" Gibbs said, they all went closer to the thing their seeing. "It's an invisible fish," Scrum retorted. It was indeed an invisible fish. It was huge, about six feet long. They could see this invisible fish due to the rays reflecting on the fish's jelly-like internal organs and skin.
Rachel led the way to somewhere, Jack and Angelica didn't know. All the way she explained about the Portfish.
"so, they can be seen when light reflects on them. Oh and I almost forgot, they turn into a huge see-able fish that hunts for meat at night," Rachel explained.
"it's turning into a normal fish," Scrum said as the sun fully disappeared in the horizon. "with horrendously big teeth," Barbossa added as he glanced at its teeth.
The fish roared suddenly, making them all jump back. It slithered on deck like a snake on its belly. The three climbed on the quarter deck to avoid being eaten. "so much for normal, aye?" Gibbs stated, the other two nodded. The fish appears blinded, but is trying to pick up a scent of meat. "where's the rest of the crew?" Barbossa said. "under decks, some are resting. The others drunk, they put me on watch duty," Scrum said as they moved to hide behind separate barrels. "I thought I told you all to stand on guard?" Barbossa said, "apparently I wasn't there when you said that," Scrum replied. The fish roared again, this time in frustration for not being able to eat anything to tonight. "what should we do? or the rest of the crew will be fish food by morning," Gibbs said as he moved behind Barbossa.
"it'll turn back into a portfish in the morning. It's how they eat, really. They can't eat in the day because they'll just transport the stuff they eat. At night they eat a whole bunch of meat. They can even move on land during the night," Rachel kept blabbering as she walked along the beach. It has been quite awhile now, and it was already very dark. They didn't bring torches and Rachel didn't even bother to... bother.
"Rachel, I'm starting to think that you don't know where you're going," Angelica said in the dark.
"what makes you think so?" Rachel said innocently as she kept on walking,
"we've been wandering for hours and I think we past that tiny tree twice already," Angelica said as she pointed to a small tree just a few meters from where thy were standing.
"what if I don't know where I'm going?" Rachel said as she finally stopped walking too. "*gasp* do I know where I'm going?" she said and held her head in her hands like she was ducking.
"oh great, we were just wasting time," Angelica said as she facepalmed.
"I'll find some fire wood," Jack said flatly as he went to a pack of trees on the small island.
"where are we going? I don't know, I just kept walking. I think we just circled the island. Yes, that's it. We circled the Island," Rachel said to herself.
"¿por qué me quedé con esta mujer loca?" Angelica said, groaning as she sat on the sand.
Jack came with lots of small branches in his arms. They set up a fire successfully and sat around it, well not all of them sat around it. Rachel was still twicthyly talking to herself in the background. "should you, um. Go talk to your friend?" Jack said to Zaltana, who shook his head. Zaltana brought his hands around his jaws and pointed to Rachel. "you want us to call her?" Angelica said, and Zaltana nodded. He then gestured for them to call very loudly. "RACHEL!" Angelica called, which caused Rachel to faint. But then she woke up immediately. "oh my God! What happened?!" she shouted. "you blacked out of reality," Zaltana said, shocking Jack and Angelica. "for like the twentieth time this year," Zaltana added, his voice was low and calm. But with a mischievous tone. "never thought you could really talk," Jack said.
"so how are we going to get to the mainland?" Angelica said. "well, there's kinda no way... Well, if your dead, you could just walk underwater like us... -and formerly Barbossap. But you're not," Rachel replied, "so we're marooned here?" Jack questioned. Rachel shrugged, "well... Kinda... I mean, Zaltana lives here... And he's not marooned," she said, gesturing to Zaltana.
"what an odd way to put it," Zaltana said, "okay, yes. We're marooned here, until somebody shows up and saves us," Rachel admitted. "What about that dragon ride you said?" Angelica said, with a bit of furiousness. "I forgot that Caligo is on the mainland, and to call him, I need my special gun that is also on the mainland," Rachel replied, "you should've said something, mujer loca!" Angelica stated furiously. "OH NO IT'S GOING TO RAIN!" Rachel shouted suddenly. It was going to rain, they're stormclouds, even. Rain started to pour down.
Well this is a short update... but no matter... I will post a bit of chapter 9 later.
Zaltana Istas literally means "tall mountain snow" found it on a list of native american names.
Sorry if the Spanish is wrong, I googled it... Actually I do speak a bit of Spanish, thanks to Dora the Explorer, haha.
Also, I thank Guest, Guest (with a very awesome review), and Brightblaze for reviewing.
So anyway, this chapter is finished. I didn't realize that it was long already.
