Chapter 6: Pirate in pink.

Chelbell2016:

Ok and this one is done and the first jewel of the corona aurora is found. Please review and tell me what you think.

*Kick into overdrive*

Courtney's POV:

We are all walking across the beach.

"St. Lucia," Rose says as we go on. "I read a lot about this Island."

"Hey Courtney," Ronny says and I turn my head to look at her. "Get out that map. It'd be nice to have some idea of what we're looking for."

I nod and begin to get the map out so we can all look at it. Mack looks at the map from my left shoulder.

"My dad traded in some expensive artifacts for this," he says as I look over the old and tattered map. "Hope it leads to something good."

Dax suddenly gets excited and I glance at him from the corner of my eye.

"Guys its so obvious," he says to all of us. "We got a crusty, old map to a remote island in the Caribbean. We've got to be looking for.."

"Pirate treasure," Mack finishes.

Everybody but Rose and I cheer as they realise this.

"Yeah right," Rose says sounding annoyed. "All the relics from that era have been discovered long ago."

Mack is quick to answer her. "Some of those pirates were really clever."

"Not clever enough to bathe apparently," I say to my friends.

"Don't get your hopes up," Rose says nodding her head at my remark. "That map could lead us to a big fat dead end."

I lead the group as we go on.

"Hold up guys," Will suddenly says and I look around at him. "I'm getting a reading."

He jogs past me with his tracker in his hand. He kneels down and begins to brush away some of the sand and rocks. He manages to find some sort of metal object.

"It's an old cannon," Mack says as he recognizes the object.

Will brushes away more sand and we see a gold name plate on it. Written on it is three words.

"The black Scabbard," Will reads.

Mack makes a noise of happiness.

"I was right. This is a pirate ship," he says and I roll my eyes at his tone of voice. "I read about this in 'Brownbeard the pirates high-sea adventures'."

He makes a pirate noise and the others chuckle. Rose shakes her head.

"I know a lot about Brownbeard too," she says. "But I read it in a history book. Like most pirates, he was an outlaw, and he spent his life stealing and looting."

"Basically he was nothing but a crook," I say as she gives us a description.

"Yeah, but he was a jolly crook," Mack says to me.

"Yeah," Ronny agrees as she and Dax laugh at Mack.

Mack decides to give us a history on this pirate.

"You see Brownbeard's ultimate goal was to find the legendary eye of the sea jewel," he tells us. "But he died before he could find it. Some say that his ghost searches for it till this very day."

"OOh ghost pirates!!" Dax says in a very unconvincing spooky voice. "Now that would make a great movie."

Ronny smiles before looking around at all of us. She is clearly thinking about something.
