Amara Collins and Her Adventure with The Infamous Jack Sparrow - On Hold

Chapter 12: The Escape

THIRD PERSON'S POV

Amara's eyes open slowly. For the past couple of days, that was the only time she slept peacefully, no dreams, no nightmares, nor someone rude enough to disturb her on her sleep. She looked around, feeling unfamiliar with the room she's in. And realization hit her "Where am I?!" she asked herself while panicking. She remembered what happened before she passed out. "Scott.." she muttered.

She hurriedly went to the door and silently praying that it was open. Luckily, it was. She didn't waste any moment, she hurriedly went out and looked where the boats are. She tiptoed, hoping no one would notice her, especially him.

She opened doors after doors, slowly losing patience finding nothing but empty rooms. She opened the other door quite harsly, she covered her mouth and murmured "oops.." She went inside the room and closed it immediately.

'I hope no one heard that..' she thought.

She heard footsteps, so she hide quickly and quitely behind the shadows.

'The perks of being small..' she thought to herself and grin.

The footsteps faded slowly and she emerged from the shadows, sighing heavily.

'I can't go out now, they must have known already that I'm gone.. I should just stay here for a while..' she thought carefully.

She was planning her escape plan when she noticed a chest-like thing, box or whatever it is, she's not sure. Curiousity beats her and she went closer to the object. She was right! It is a chest. And again, her curiousity got the best of her and opened the chest. Luckily it was open.

'Who would leave something like this here and doesn't even bother locking it?' she thought for awhile, but brushed it away. She was too curious to know what's inside the chest to mind that.

And there, she found keys, keys that she knew too well.

'These are the same keys Jack is looking for! I heard from Jack and Dilpha's conversation that there are seven keys. This keys must belong to Scott- and he has four- Jack and Will has one each, so that means.. Only one is left? That must be where we are going!' she thought as pieces are slowly putting together. The only question left to answer is, what are the keys for?

She heard footsteps again, and this time it's heading to the room she's currently in. She quickly closed the chest and put it back where she found it. But not without taking a key in her hand and put it in the pocket of her pants.

Just as she was about to open the door, someone already did. And he wasn't quite happy. But she did see relief in his eyes though.

"Jay..."

She doesn't know if he's angry or relieved, or maybe a mix of both. And before she can say anything he grabbed her hand and dragged her somewhere. He was careful not to hurt her though.

After a few minutes they were out in the deck, but he was still dragging her, until they reach the wheel. He let go of her hands, and started pacing.

"Do you have any idea how much you've worried me?" Scott reprimanded.

"Look I--"

But before she can even finish what she's saying he hugged her tightly.

"Don't do that again Jay, please.." he said, that almost melts Amara's heart.. almost. She pushed him away, remembering all he did.
