~Chapter eight~

POV:

Francesca Jones

When I came back to my senses, I noticed I wasn't where I was before. Now, I was on a cliff, seated in a chair made of wood and bones. It was quite eerie. To my left was a bigger chair. It was much more decorated with markings and skulls and bones. And in that chair sat none other than my Jack. He was their king… or chief as they say, and I am their queen… Surrounding both Jack and I, were this cannibals. They were dancing around and chanting in their native language.

I was so terrified. God only knows what's going to happen to us. Though I think I have a pretty good idea. No matter how scared I was now, I was grateful for not being where I was last time. In a giant round cage made of the slaves and crew members' bones, just hanging there, thousands feet high. But yet I wished I was there now instead of here… because I being here meant that I was their queen… and if I messed up in any way… I was dinner.

I just sat there, quietly, as the cannibals danced. They weren't really paying attention to jack and I. Jack noticed and leaned over to me and whispered, "Their not watching. When I say so, run."

"No," I said instantly. "We can't."

He looked at me with confusion. "Why not?"

So I told him. I told him about how we got on the island on the first place, what happened while we were here, and what happened to their chief when he got out of line. After I finished, Jack looked terrified. He sat back in his seat and watched the cannibals dance.

~xXx~

Later that night, the cannibals brought Jack and me to a hut. The hut was very large and spacious, containing a large table in the middle of the room, fully set with pottery plates and bowls accompanied by utensils made of carved wood and bones. The tables and chairs, also made out of wood and bones. To the left of the room was a large bed that too was made out of wood and bones. The mattress that was on the bed looked to be made of grass and hay that sat under a huge blanket… well it wasn't really a blanket, but that was its purpose… all it was, was animal skin. Very large animal skin…

Jack sat on the bed, motioning me to join him. After a few moments of silence, he finally spoke. "We have to get out of here… now."

"No!" I blurted out all too quickly.

"…No? Well, why not?" he asked, looking at me as if I had another head growing out of my neck.

I hesitated, trying to think of the best way to tell him that there is no going off this Island without being killed in the process. When I made it out, it was pure luck. A once in a lifetime chance to succeed. But I guess being the captain's favorite sex slave had its advantages. But we also lost more than half the crew and other slaves through a bribe to let the rest of us go… Jack wouldn't do that. No matter what he or anyone else thinks, Jack is a good man and would never abandon his crew just so he can save his own ass. I mean, if he wasn't who he was I would probably be dead and in Davy Jones' locker… or worse… part of his crew.

"We can't leave because it's too dangerous," I finally replied.

He raised an eyebrow and asked, "And how exactly do you know this?"

I took a deep breath. "I've been here before. They're cannibals, Jack; Pelegostas is what they call themselves. And they named us their leaders; you as there chief and me as their queen. But, we are only safe if we remain their leaders. And to remain leaders, we must act like leaders."

"so we're both captive here… just like the rest of my crew," he replied, looking down at his hands that rest in his lap.

"Yes... but I fear it is you and I that face a worse fate… the last time I was here I was not named one of their leaders. The captain was and an older slave. I was with the rest… they put us in cages made out of the bones of our own crew hanging thousands of feet over a flowing river."

"How does that make us the one to have the worse fate?" he asked as if I was delusional.

I sighed and said, "See, the Pelegostas believe that we are gods in human form… and they intend to do us the "honor" of releasing us from our fleshy prison." Jacked looked confused when I finished speaking. So I added, "They're going to eat us, Jack. That's why we have to act like leaders. The longer we play their little game, the longer we survive. But one little mistake… well… they'll roast us and eat us…"

By this time, Jack looked completely horrified. "well, how will we know if they are going to… eat us…?"

"You hear those drums?" I asked. The room fell silent and we were able to hear the steady rhythmic beat of the tribal drums from a distance. "When those drums stop… well… it's bye-bye for us."

We sat there for what seemed like hours of total silence before jack said, "There has to be a way off this god awful island."

"I hope so… it was hell the first time. God only knows about this time… all I can say is that we act like their leaders for a little while. Learn their ways and language and when they least expect it, we run. Run as fast and as hard as we can back to the Pearl."

Three and a half weeks later

In the last three and a half weeks, Jack and I have maintained our title as chief and queen. We had both learned their language and their ways of living. Of course, Jack knew more than I did. Since he was the man between the two of us makes him head leader, the one that villagers go to. As for myself, well, I'm just the one that sits there by his side and looks pretty.

Also during those long weeks, they pampered us. Mostly myself… apparently all women of this tribe must have their hair cut short… really short… so they cut my long beautiful dark brown locks. Luckily though, they didn't cut it as short as the rest of the women on this island but that's only because of the fact that I am queen… before my hair reached all the way past my waist. But now, well, it just barley touches my shoulders…

I pouted at the thought of all that beautiful hair just gone. I really do miss it. And apparently so did Jack. When he first seen me, he showed a mix of emotions on his face; shook and sadness being two of the many. He's also been looking at me in this funny way… I don't really know what it was but only one other person has ever looked at me like that and that was Ragetti.

Anyway, back to the present. Jack and I were back in the chairs I woke up in the first day we arrived here. The villagers where all gathered around us. One of the men from their group stepped forward and said, "Kali kali ten dada," meaning that they caught an intruder. Just then, a path was making and two of the villagers carried the intruder that was tied to a bamboo pole. But what shocked me was that the intruder was none other than my friend Will Turner.

He looked as if he had just waked up from a rough night of sleep. He looked at Jack and said, "Jack. Jack Sparrow. I can honestly say I'm glad to see you." He then looked over to me. "Francesca?"I didn't answer. If I did I feared that it would be the end for both me and Jack. Jack rose from his seat, walked over to Will and poked him in the shoulder. He then made his way over to the villagers. "Jack, it's me, Will Turner!" Will added in a distressed tone.

"Pase ko," Jack said, totally ignoring everything Will was saying.

"Idada esipige," the male villager with a mask replied.

"Esipige," the rest added in.

"Jack, tell them to let me down!" Will said to Jack with distress.

Again, Jack ignored Will's comment and continued to talk to the villagers. "Kelay lum. Lum piki piki. Lum eensie weensie." Jack then walked over to Will and looked down by his legs. "Lum say say eunuchey. Snip snip."

I snickered at the comment Jack just made about Will being a eunuch. Back when he and Elizabeth were still on the Pearl, Jack would always tease him and get on his nerves about being a eunuch.

The villagers all gave knowing looks and made a face in disgust. "Ah, eunuchey."

Jack began to walk back towards me to sit in his chair when Will suddenly said, "Jack, the compass! That's all I need! Elizabeth is in danger! We were arrested for trying to help you! She faces the gallows"

I gasped the slightest. Just the thought of my friend facing the hang man's noose pained me.

Shock pasted through Jack as he heard Will. He made a sharp turn and went back to the villagers. "Snay say sha. Smomy lama shuku, savvy? Bon liki liki."

"Bon liki liki!" the villagers all shouted.

I sat there, shocked by what Jack just told the villagers. He just sent him to be caged up with the rest of the crew!

Jack began to walk back to me. I glared at him when he made eye contact with me. He then bent down and whispered to Will, "Save us!" he then began to walk back to me.

"Jack, what did you tell them? No! What about Elizabeth? Jack!"Will shouted as the villagers carried him away.

It was then that I realized what Jack was doing. He sent Will so that he could help the rest of his crew escape. This meant we would be making a break for it soon as well. It's all just a matter of time.

When Jack sat down he looked towards me and smirked. I smirked back and we both leaned back into our not to comfortable chairs. The villagers went wild. Dancing around and banging away at the large tribal drums. As they continued to dance and cheer, two women came up to Jack and me and placed a necklace of toes around both our necks.

"Thank you," jack said to the women. He picked up the biggest toe and bit its nail. I shivered in disgust as he spit it out.

"How you get women is beyond me, Jack. That's disgusting," I whispered to his so that no one could hear. He only chuckled and gave me a sideways glance. When he made that small gesture, I couldn't help but notice how handsome he looked… well minus the paint on his face and all the other things the villagers made him wear. Jack was actually a very handsome man and he's gust so… What am I saying? I sound like a love struck girl! There's no way I could have feeling for Captain Jack sparrow… could I? I shook my head at the thought and cleared my mind.

As I came out of my inner mind babble, I noticed the smell of smoke. It was then that I noticed that the villagers were preparing a fire. For what? Probably for dinner. On the menu? A heaping plate of Sparrow and a side of Jones.

Jack suddenly stood from his chair and moved towards the villagers, who were putting the fire together, waving his hands while saying, "Oh, no no, oy, more wood, big fire, big fire, I am chief, want big fire, more wood. C'mon!" he turned to the men that were guarding his chair. Or throne as they called it. "Oi, Aboogie snickle snickle toute suite, c'mon, more wood!"

The villagers obeyed Jack request and put more wood into the fire. While they weren't looking, Jack turned towards me and motioned me to run. And that's what we did. We ran. We ran across the wooden bridge as fast as our feet could take us. We ran up to a small shack. Jack kept running and nearly ran right off the cliff. "Oh," he said as I grabbed hold of his arm to steady him. As I did this, I felt a shock shoot through my body. It was a strange feeling and but the look on Jacks face, I can tell he felt it as well.

We both brushed it off. Jack went over to a stack of bamboo poles and held one up, examining it. I instantly knew what he was thinking. "Are you insane? We'll never make it over the cliff with that thing."

He looked back down at the pole and realized I was probably right. So he dropped it back to the ground and went into the small shack. I waited outside for him since it was so crowed in there. I could hear him shuffling inside. But that's not all I heard. From the path we both just came from, I could hear the rushed footsteps of the villagers.

"Jack!" I yelled. I could hear him making his way back till he stopped. By now the villagers had me surrounded all with terribly pointy spears.

When Jack finally made his way completely out of the shack, he froze in his spot and said, "Oh bugger." He then casually dropped the rope he had hanging on his right shoulder while he opened a can of paprika and shakes the can onto his armpits. "Little seasoning, eh?"

I rolled my eyes as he began to waft the smell over to me. Then, they grabbed us, tied us to one bamboo pole and carried us back over to the awaiting unlit fire just feet ahead. I thought it was quite weird that they put us both on the same pole. The only conclusion I came to was that this is how they killed their leaders or if they just want to speed up the process.

As they brought us over to the unlit fire, the rest of the villagers chanted and danced. The tribal drums still played loudly in the background.

"Well done," Jack said as we were placed directly over wood for the fire.

"Ahh fie fie!" one of the villagers yelled, holding up a torch.

"Oh fie fie!" the rest cheered in union.

The one with the torch began to lower it to the wood to start a fire, but before he could go any further, he was stopped by another villager. "Laguetoto laguetoto, hayva cow cow shay shay!" he was telling them how the prisoners, our crew, were escaping. I knew Will would get them out. I just hope they all make it out alive.

They all looked at jack for an answer. "Well go on, go get them. Paylala!"

"Paylala!" they all cheered.

As they all ran to get the escapers, the man with the torch dropped it and ran with the rest. But the fire from the torch began to go into the wood and start a roaring fire. "Wait! No no, Oy! No no. Not good." He then began to blow on the fire only to make it worse. I began to shake with fear. "Its gunna be alright, luv. Just do what I say. Start to bounce with me, ok?"

I did as I was told and began to bounce with Jack. Suddenly, we were on the ground just inches away from the fire.

I sighed in relief. "Now what?" I asked, still stuck to the pole with my back pressed against the pole and Jack's.

He didn't answer. Instead he showed me by breaking his legs free. "Can you do that, luv?"

I tried to pull my legs free but it was no use. I wasn't strong enough. I was stuck. "It's useless Jack. I'm too weak." I started to tear when I realized that I'm going to bring us to our death all because I wasn't strong enough.

"Shhh, luv. It's ok. Just hold on ok?" he then stud up, me on his back, and began to run. I was surprised at how fast he was going with all my weight on his back.

"bloody hell, Jack!" I nearly yelled as we ran across the wobbly bridge.

I noticed that we were back at the small shack. Jack began to tug and pull on the robes, trying to break you free. He was about to give up till he noticed a small boy with a knife and fork in his hands. Jack side walked over to the boy and grabbed the knife out of his hand and began to saw at the ropes. The boy ran away and two women took his place. Jack suddenly started screaming and charred at the women. The women moved out of the way while Jack rammed into a pile of coconuts. One of the coconuts was stuck on the end of the pole. Jack then spun around and the coconut flew off the pole and into one of the woman's face. Then it was war. The two women threw all different kinds of fruit at us. Some hit us and some went through the pole.

"Stop it!" Jack yelled, making the women stop and look at Jack in surprise.

Jack started to yell and run again. But this time he didn't stop. Next thing I knew we were flying over the cliff, both Jack and I screaming like crazy. To my surprise, we made it to the other side. Well, that it until the weight of the fruit pulled us down. The both of us screamed for our dear lives. As we continued to fall, the ends of the bamboo pole began to catch to the walls of the cliffs. Once the poles were secure, Jack and I began to unravel. Jack was now free from the ropes hold while I remained attached by the ankle. I hung upside-down while holding onto Jack's hands, making sure not to drop him since we were still over a hundred feet from solid ground.

"Bugger," Jack and I said as the pole started to slip. The pole slipped free and Jack and I began to fall, going through multiple bridges while screaming. Finally, we both landed on the ground, me on top of Jack. Jack groaned in pain, eyes wide as the pole stabbed into the ground just inches away from his head. Then all the fruit landed around us.

I just laid there on top of Jack, staring at him. Slowly, I began to feel my head lean down closer to his. I hesitated, thinking if it was ok for me to kiss his nice full lips. I was a little scared. Scared of both him becoming one of those disgusting men that took control of women and rejection. But when my lips finally touched his, I knew that I was scared for nothing.

Jack so softly kissed me back. His hand snaked into my hair while the other softly caressed my cheek. When we finally broke apart, we were breathing heavily, our foreheads pressed together and both our eyes closed.

"Come on, luv. We have to get back to the pearl," Jack said.

It was then that I heard the rushed footsteps of the villagers. I nodded and quickly got off of Jack. He too got up. But before we started to run, he quickly pecked my lips, then grabbed hold of my hand and ran.

We ran as if our lives depended on it… which it did. We reached the shore when the villagers caught up to us.

The Pearl was now in view. I mentally sighed relief and pushed my legs harder to get to the large black vessel faster. I could see that most of the crew had made it back too.

As we continued to run, we passed a barking dog. "Good doggy," Jack said as we ran passed. The ship began to go into the ocean, Jack and I ran into the ocean after it. The villagers stopped at the shoreline, crying out after us. Once we finally caught up to the ship, we grabbed hold of the ropes and climbed up till Jack suddenly stopped and yelled, "Alas my children, this is the day you shall always remember as the day that you almost..." out of nowhere, a wave came and crashed into both of us. Jack paused and said hesitantly, "...Captain Jack Sparrow."

I rolled my eyes and continued to climb up the ropes.

Well? What do you all think? Again, I'm sorry for any mistakes. As I said, as soon as I find a new beta, I will have him/her look over this chapter and repost it once it is corrected. I will update sometime next week I promise! Don't forget to review and tell me what you all think!
