When Maggie awoke she found two cannibal women hovering over her. They were putting bright blue war paint on the bridge of her nose and fixing her hair.

Maggie layed there too terrified to even move. She was scared that if she made any sort of movement, they would attack her.

Finally the women stopped prepping her and bowed before her. Maggie raised a brow at this, then things got even weirder. The eldest of the two women began speaking in a strange language that sounded like gibberish.

"Upa-ma, Lum-Lum" she said to Maggie.

Maggie stared at her, baffled to say the least. The woman lead her to a cracked full length mirror in one corner of the hut. Maggie was now dressed in what appeared to be a ceremonial cannibal dress.

Maggie furrowed her eyebrows, confused. Then the woman gently took her hand and led her outside the hut. Outside the hut there was a thriving cannibal village, where many of the island's inhabitants were either banging on drums loudly or dancing around an unlit fire pit.

As the cannibal woman led Maggie through the village, she kept wondering where her Dad and the crew were? Had they'd already been eaten? And if so how would she escape? Surely she couldn't get back to the Pearl and sail it away from the island all by herself.

What have they done to Dad? Maggie wondered They probably boiled him and half the crew into a soup! And now I'm the main course! Poor Dad! I wonder if he thought about me in his final minutes? I know I'll be thinking of him and-

Maggie's thoughts were cut short when she saw her father seated on a throne of human bones. He was decked out in war paint and on his head was a tall ceremonial headdress.

And not only was Captain Jack alive, but he was being waited on hand and foot like royalty by the cannibals. One of the more beautiful cannibal woman was even feeding him wild berries from a wooden bowl while another fanned him with a large leaf.

"What the...?" Maggie whispered to herself, as they led her to another throne beside her father's.

The cannibal's bowed and left them to go gather firewood.

"Dad..." Maggie whispered out of the corner of her mouth. "What's going on here?"

Jack looked at the girls that were feeding and fanning him.

"Bon liki liki" he told them in the same gibberish they spoke.

The women giggled flirtatious-like and left them.

Jack brought his head down near Maggie's ear. "It appears I've given the Pelegosto's the impression that we are living god's" he told her.

"How did you manage to do that?" Maggie asked.

"They spoke some gibberish to me and I tried to speak some back" Jack shrugged "And apparently whatever I said back made them think I was a god."

"Then why did they take me?" asked Maggie.
