Deadly Waters

Lost Then Found Then Lost Again

Kayla and I shared the same thought "oh, no!"

"Kayla!" I screamed and enveloped her in one of the hardest hugs I've ever given.

"I've missed you too my friend" she said patting my head, I let go of her and stood back, she hadn't changed a bit.

"Where in the hell have you been?" 

"I should be asking' that question to you" she said with a gentle smile

"Everywhere" I said with a sigh of exasperation, there was a short pause "If you're here...where are the others?"

"Somewhere in the town...some man told us to run away but, you know me...never one to run" she said with a small giggle, her eyes sparkled in the moon light.

"So, that....that was Jack.." I said hopelessly, getting that empty feeling back in my insides.

"You never know...that could've been him sailing away from Singapore, or, he could still be here, somewhere in town" she said staring at me, there was a brief pause.

"How did you get here?"

"You know those lights?" she asked

"Yes"

"That was how I found you" she said with a half smile "they were trackers...I sent them to track you and take you to wherever I am" she added.

"So that's how I got here so fast!" I cried, slapping my knee, having an epiphany. My brows furrowed and I turned to her "no, no that's getting off of my question....how did you get to Singapore?" I asked

"The Black Pearl...like the others" she answered.

*We decided to look for the others when it was daylight so we headed to my ship The Purple Gun and clocked in for the night.

*I woke up to find Kayla out of her bed and getting dressed, so, following her lead, I did the same. I ordered my crew to keep looking for the Pirate Lords or their ships, then, Kayla and I set off in search of anyone who was on the Black Pearl to prove that Jack's crew was still here. First, we tried the bar again.

Nothing.

Then, we went to the sword shop The Half Mast.

Nothing.

Then, we tried all the restaurants/ sleeping places.

Nothing.

I was giving up hope when we heard the calling for the gallows (people who were going to be hanged). I didn't pay any attention to the names, but, Kayla and I shared the same thought "oh, no!" We bolted from our seats on the poles of the dock and headed straight for Main Street, running as fast as our legs could carry us. When we arrived, a crowd had collected, I scanned the people to be hanged but found no Pirate Lords. Thankfully!

I put my hands on my knees to breathe, but when I looked up everyone was staring at me. Someone was screaming "That's her! She's the pirate!" It was the man from the magic shop! Soon, guards ran down from the platform and headed straight for me!

I let out a scream and high-tailed it in the opposite direction, Kayla running not far behind and the guards not far behind her. I lead us into the most busy part of town so Kayla and I had a chance at losing the guards, but they stuck with us. Soon, my legs felt like they did when I was trying to swim in the current. Suddenly, my foot didn't feel ground and I fell down a hole and hit water, I pulled my head up to find that I was in a dark tunnel, I looked up and saw sunlight. I glanced to my left and right but saw nothing but darkness.

I looked down and saw a steady slow flow of water. Not long afterwards I got a whiff of old food, and human excrement. I was in the sewer. "Great" I growled sarcastically hauling myself up.
