Deadly Waters

Battle for the Chest Part 1

"Grab the chest!" I yelled backing up, hand still on my cutlass. Regetti and Pintel swiped the chest and started to run for the woods. Blackbeard's crew was hooting and hollering as they set foot on the beach. I took out my cutlass but they started to laugh, "what?"

  I noticed I was the only one on the beach (besides Blackbeard's crew). Jack and company had ran, I gave an asinine smile, then, turned and ran for my life. Blackbeard's crew not far behind. I was running aimlessly in the woods with no direction, just the incentive to not be killed. I could have normally taken them on, but Blackbeard had more men that usual.

Which, frightened me.

I kept running until the other side of the forest let out onto another beach. I sighed. No cover here I thought. Then, I heard a huge splash in the ocean, I turned my head to find the Flying Dutchman making a appearance, coming gracefully out of the water. Almost looked like she was flying.

"Oh shit" I whispered as the 'Dutchman's crew jumped off of the ship and headed towards the shore. I had been oblivious to Blackbeard's crew catching up with me, I did a double take and thought how am I gonna get out of this one? But, the Dutchman shouldn't be after me, I mean, I don't have the chest or the key, they shouldn't be after me....they shouldn't. I was in a daze, running in any direction to get me off of that beach. I was awoken from this daze when a sword came inches from my face, sticking in a tree right next to me.

Jack and crew can't be too far off, they would need places to hide I thought. Or they can be back on the ship a voice from the back of my mind said "what?" I asked aloud, they could have been back on the ship by now, they got a head start and it's the only place to run on this side of Singapore. The voice said "true" I breathed, I was starting to pant. Though the wind was blowing harder now, sweat was dripping down my face.

"But, I lost track of where I am so, therefor, I do not know where the ship is" I whispered to the voice. This time the voice didn't reply. "I'm delirious" I said to myself with a silent giggle. I ran behind a tree and hoped that they wouldn't hear my breathing.

"where is she?" a familiar voice yelled. Blackbeard. I didn't think he would leave his ship just to come find us.

"Don't know, Cap'n, we think she might be close by" a gruff voice replied. I put my hand over my mouth to quiet my breathing. I was so close to getting caught. What would they do with me? I asked myself.

Use you the voice answered. The voice sounded exactly like mine! Use you to get to Jack and the other Pirate Lords, and of course, you are a Pirate Lord yourself, makes you of value. The voice was slowly turning into Jack's. You can also do things no other Pirate lass could.

Boosts your value up even more. Blackbeard's feet were getting closer to me, and another, you're a lass, and well, you know what pirates do with lass's right? Blackbeard removed his sword from its holster and held it up head length. Another, you're just like Jack, intelligent, cunning, great sense of humor, love rum, love the sea, always looking for adventure, and you both are Pirate Lords need I say more? The voice said, I shook my head but not very quickly, my hair might alert the pirates of where I was.

 Blackbeard swung his sword inward, missing the tip of my head by a millimeter. Afterwards, I heard hoots and battle cries as the Flying Dutchman's crew came out of the bushes and attacked Blackbeard's crew.

The battle for the chest is on!
