"Land ho!" Marty calls.
"Watch your language, Marty!" Gibbs says, causing all the men to laugh. We run the Black Pearl aground.
"Let's find some food, shall we?" A crewman says. We all exit the ship and begin to scour the island for food. I hear drumming in the distance.
"What's that noise?" Caspian asks. I look at the ground.
"No Cas! Don't!" I shout. Too late. He was pulled off the ground by some trap. I hear yelling and whooping, and scary-looking natives appear from their hiding places. Jack and I draw our swords. We were no match for their knock-out darts. The sharp object pierces my neck, and everything goes black.
I wake up in a tent. I hear some yelling and they begin to paint my face and adorn me with necklaces and a crown. They then proceed to pick me up and set me on a throne next to someone else. When I'm finally let alone, I whisper,
"Psst. Hey."
"Yes love?" Jack whispers.
"Jack?!? Where's Cas?" I whisper yell.
"He's safe. They took the rest of the crew and put them in cages made out of the bones of some of the eaten crewman." He says.
"Oh thank God. But what are we doing here?" I ask.
"The Pelegostos think we're gods. And they're going to do us the pleasure of releasing us from our human forms by burning us." He says casually. A crowd of natives come through carrying a limp body. I saw a cutlass and the vest was emblazoned with metallic gold material. There's only one place where you can get that material. Port Royal. The person turns to face us. It's Will.
"Will! What're you..." I'm cut off by Jack holding my hand.
"Don't. I'll handle this." He says. I nod, bewildered.
"Jack? Jack Sparrow? I can honestly say I'm glad to see you," Will says. Jack pokes him. "Jack! It's me! Will Turner!"
"Mase co." Jack says. The natives says something.
"Tell them to let me down." Will says.
"Kele lum. Lum piki piki. Lum eensy-weensy. Lum say say eunuchy. Snip snip." Jack says.
"Ahhhh. Eunuchy." The natives repeat.
"Jack! The compass! That's all I need Elizabeth is in danger! We were arrested for trying to help you. She faces the gallows!" Will tells him.
"Say say lum shup shup shar sharmee lumma zukcoo. Savvy?" JAck questions. "Bol liki liki." He says.
"Bol liki liki!" They shout.
"Save us." Jack whispers. The natives carry him away.
"What about Elizabeth?!?" He yells.
"Jack what are they going to do with him?" I ask.
"They're going to take him to the rest of the crew by the gorge." He answers.
"What about us?" I ask.
"I have a plan." He says.
"To distract them?" I ask.
"Aye love." He agrees. They begin to play the drums louder and place a necklace of human toes around Jack's neck.
"Thank you." He says with disgust. "Oi! No no! More wood! Big fire! Big fire! I am chief! Want big fire! C'mon!" He says. "Caboogi snickel snickel! Toot suit! C'mon! More wood!" He says to the guards. "C'mon love." He says, grabbing my hand. We begin to run across a bridge and into a smaller part of the Pelegostos village. We come across a gorge. Jack stops me.
