Well... sorry for not updating in such a long time... but here's a chapter, no romance, but a lot of plot...
I must say I will NEVER abandon this story! not permanently, at least...
sorry for any mistakes!
I thank Rumbuss, RevengeOfTheLieutenant, Elena, Guest, Guest, and Guest for the awesome reviews!
without you guys, this chapter wouldn't be here. And how can you say this is wonderful, really? I think it's horrific... or not.. at least going to that area...
"I think it's an island," Gibbs said as he looked through Barbossa's scope.
"it's a ship," Barbossa answered,
"island!"
"ship!"
"it's a bloody island!"
"it be a ship!"
Rachel stepped between them. "how come your eyes see different images?" she pointed to Barbossa and Gibbs.
"well what do ya see?" Gibbs asked her, "I don't know, let's take a vote from da crew," Rachel said, "yo everyone!" she shouted, gaining attention of the crew. "can you tell us what that is?" she pointed to the ship -island -ship -thing.
"I see a ship," Scrum said, "no! It's an Island!" one of the crew said, "it's a ship!" another answered. "yeah, it's a ship!" answered another one, "i see an island," one answered.
"there be some illusion I think..." Rachel said, looking at the.. Thing.
"I see... A giant meat loaf," she said dramatically, with weird hand gestures.
That answer made Gibbs and Barbossa raise their eyebrows. "a giant meat loaf, floating out at sea?" Barbossa said skeptically.
"yeap," Rachel answered, "it's magic, I think,"
"magic?" Barbossa said, "yeah, magic. Like... Sorcery, magic," she answered. "I think I know what it really is... If you could just... Line up the ship..." Rachel said. "what if it's a ship? It could attack us!" Barbossa replied, "or even an island, the ship could get stuck,"
"I can't guarantee it's a ship or even an island, but I know it's harmless! Come on! I promise I'll die first if it's dangerous!" Rachel said with a convincing face.
"alright, line up the ship! But don't get to close," Barbossa ordered in a non-trusting voice.
"Ah, cap'n... I don't think we hafta do that..." Scrum said as he saw the thing getting closer.
"It's getting closer..." Gibbs said. All of the men squinted at the thing as it came closer... And closer... And closer... And closer... And closer... And closer...
Until it was right next to the ship.
"Oh whadaya know, it's a barrier," Rachel said as she stuck her hand out to the thing, only to have her hand disappear behind the invisible barrier that was causing the illusion. Suddenly the barrier receded away, only to reveal a ship behind it.
A magnificent dark purple and black ship with gold linings. The crew only stared as a plank was pushed between the ship and there crossed probably the pirate with the fanciest clothes ever. Even fancier than Barbossa. Even fancier than fancy.
He had a big purple hat that was so big and feathery, it covered his whole head. His clothes were of an aristocrat, and also black and purple with gold linings. After a long silence, a member of the crew said "who ar ye?" He was immediately hit on the head by his friend next to him. "I am... Someone... Fabulous..." He made an unnecessary emphasize on 'fabulous'.
His voice was of a jazzy tone that was all too familiar to Rachel. Rachel squinted her eyes at the pirate, but still couldn't see his face as he was looking down. "José?" She asked skeptically. The pirate looked up only to reveal the he indeed, was Studio de José, the skeleton with glowing green eyes.
"Didn't expect you to arrive so soon, you know... With the emotional thing with your shi-"
"Shut up." Studio cut her off.
"Right... I wasn't supposed to talk about that..." Rachel looked away, "so... As planned?"
"As planned." Studio said and soon after his wife walked from his ship to the Revenge.
"As planned?" Barbossa asked suspiciously as he stirred his sword in its sheath. The rigging rattled.
"Yeah... Well... You're all my friends and all... But I have a promise to keep..." Rachel said.
Barbossa tried to reach for his sword but somehow he was moving really slowly... Really... Really... Reeeaaaally... Slooooooowly...
"Claudia, what did you do?" Rachel asked as she saw every one of Babossa's crew move very very very slowly. "I put a spell to make them slower, and us faster," Claudia explained. "Right, I forgot you're a witch..." Rachel said, "come on, let's find Blackbeard..." Rachel said as she walked to the entrance to under decks.
A few moments ago, Jack and Angelica walked back in the first mate's cabin, trying to think of a plan to get back at Rachel. But now after a few bad ideas of how to get the string off, they were just sitting there quietly.
"I need to pee," Jack said out of the blue. "How are you supposed to do that?" Angelica pulled up the string. "You can come in with me," Jack said with a grin, which made Angelica push him. But he took advantage of the string and pulled her with him. And now they were both on the floor.
"You cheated," Angelica joked. "Pirate." Jack replied. She rolled her eyes, she was expecting that.
"Why is it so quiet?" Jack sat up.
"Too quiet," Angelica said as she stood up and dragged Jack all the way to the door with the string until he managed to stand up. "Slow down, luv! Yer gettin me splinters from the floor!" Jack complained and tried to keep up with Angelica's pace. She walked all the way up decks and saw the crew moving very very very very slowly to the other ship. They turned their heads only to meet the eyes of Studio, "Claudia dear, why aren't they affected? Are they dead?" Studio approached Jack and poked his face with a skeletal finger.
"Ah there you are!" Came Rachel's voice from behind them. She was carrying what Jack assumed was a barrel of rum. She set down the barrel and two skeleton pirates went and took it to the other ship. "And Studio, they're not dead. I just put a dead potion on that string... And also I don't think they're a threat. They be my best buddies ya know," Rachel walked between Jack and Angelica and used both her arms to form an awkward group hug.
"You'll be comfy on the White Witch... It has very comfortable and fun cells!" Rachel said in a friendly way. And with that, Jack and Angelica both hit by a knock out dart. "what about them?" Claudia gestured to the crew as Jack and Angelica were carried to the White Witch. "Put Barbossa in the fun and comfy cell... The rest below decks..." Rachel said and the crew were knocked out one by one.
"What about Blackbeard?"
"What about me?" The still skeletal and rugged Blackbeard stepped up on deck. "He'll be fine..." Rachel handed the sword of cortes back to Blackbeard.
"He's gonna sail without a crew?" Studio said.
"With that sword he don't need no crew... And besides... He's still an evil man... And I still care about the crew... Also we're only doing this because he promised the way to free Jack's ship in return... And Jack's one of my best friends and I know how much that ship means to him also there is the fact that Angelica wants a dad... And that woman is a persistent woman... She will do anything to get what she wants..." Studio pushed Rachel on the White Witch while she was still blabbering and Claudia followed.
"See you at Whitecap bay, Mr. Teach." Studio said. Blackbeard nodded and drank from the bottle he was holding, only to have the liquid spill out from the gaps of his ribs and bones. He groaned angrily and threw the bottle away.
Jack and Angelica woke from the ground shaking... Not because of the sea waves... It felt as if they were on a giant swing.
Angelica rubbed her eyes and brushed her hair away from her face with her hand. "Where are we?" She said to Jack who now somehow had his shirt and waistcoat on. Jack looked around only to reveal that they were in a cage. That is not under decks. Jack crawled over to the steel bars and looked out of the cage. They were in a cage that was dangling from the ropes, above the main deck.
He saw Rachel down on decks. "Hello up there! It's fun isn't it?" Rachel shouted to them. The cage swinged and made them slip to the other side.
"You call this fun?!" Angelica shouted at her.
"Why yes! Since I'm down here and you're up there!" Rachel shouted back. "Don't worry! Barbossa's in the same situation!" She pointed to a cage next to theirs which had a pretty shocked Barbossa. "Also you have rum!" Rachel shouted again. Jack looked over his shoulder to find a barrel of rum with a tap sitting in the corner of the cage, along with a bottle in a bottle holder on it.
"It's not so bad after all," Jack said with a smile.
"Tell me if your hungry! I can get some food up there!" Rachel shouted and left to under decks.
"Great. Now were in a cage. That woman's a traitor." Angelica complained. "which means your father is too, but nevermind that, let's look on tha bright side... At least we still av both legs, a bottle of rum and ea- some air to breathe, luv," he corrected the last bit of his sentence. He was actually going to say 'each other' but that would not have been a Jack Sparrow kind of way.
Jack tried to carefully crawl to the barrel of rum but was pulled back by Angelica. "No! You are not getting drunk inside this cage!"
"But if we are ever gonna get outta here, I need me rum!" Jack reached out the hand that wasn't pulled by Angelica and tried to take the bottle.
"No! Plan first!"
"Rum first!"
Barbossa watched them from the other cell with a flat face and rolled his eyes. Those two will never stop fighting. And that means none of them are getting out of here anytime soon...
