The Bend to Rue (Jack Sparrow fanfic)

Chapter 13

Down we walked, to the start of the tunnels. After the stairs were three doors. "I'm not seeing any 'tiger teeth' or truthly titan' Jack." William called as he waved the torch around, looking for a clue.

"Angel," He called, "Come 'ere." He was looking at one of the doors. I walked over to him, "Why don't you lean on this wall here?"  I looked at him like he was crazy- oh wait. He rolled his eyes when I didn't do as he said, seized my hand and shoved it against the wall.

"OOOOOWWW!!!!!!" I shrieked, a terrible shock going through my system and I tried to jerk away from it, only for the electricity to follow as it trced the pattern of the tattooed eye, burning it into my palm like a brand, before opening the door. I hissed as it sizzled and the scent of burning flesh filled the air. Jack ripped a piece of William's shirt and tied it around my hand. "What was that for?!" I glared at him again. I was really getting tired of this.

"We'll keep going." With that said, he lead the way, keeping me close to him by grabbing my good hand. We followed the eye pattern through twists and turns. After a what felt like hours, we got to a cave, full of stalactites and stalagmites. "They look like teeth to me." Jack to a step, keeping me close, only for our combined weight to collapse the ground.

I screamed as we fell, Jack caught a bit of a ledge in the rock. The resulting jerk from the sudden stop caught me by surprise and apperantly him as he dropped me. I landed on hard ground with a thump not long after that. "Ooof." There went my breath.

"Angel!" Jack cried as I coughed. "Angel?!"

"Jack?!" I heard William and Gibbs cry.

"Throw a rope down!" Jack called back at them. "Angel, Answer me Luv!"

"Jack?! I grunted, struggling to get up. My arm had me tearing up, my ankle hurt pretty badly too. I was sure I'd broken something. I coughed a bit more as dust got into my lungs. "Jack?" It felt like the ground was rumbling.

"Angel!" I could hear the relief in his voice. "Angel, don't move, I'm coming to get you."

I heard a growl and I froze. "I- I think there's something else down here." I swallowed and fell silent as a bunch of eyes appeared in the darkness. "Hurry." I whimpered.

"Angel?!" Jack called, sounding close.

"AAAAAAAAH!" I scrambled up the side of the wall as the monsters lunged. I found footholds I probably never would have found in any other situation."JAAAAAAAAACK!!!" I felt a jerk around my waist as I started to fall back down towards those horrible creatures.

"PULL!" I clung to him as we were hauled to the top of the hole, terrified of being dropped again, especially as I felt a scrape along my boot and what felt like thorns latching onto my ankle before having to let go due to another boot kicking the thing away. "FASTER WOULD BE NICE!" Jack shouted.

It was not soon enough when hands grabbed me and Jack, hauling us out of the hole."OW!" I cried as they gripped my arms and Jack shoved them all away.

He looked at the state I was in and nodded to Gibbs, who was behind me, and he held me tightly. Jack just gripped my arm lightly, "Does this hurt?" I nodded yes, struggling to get out of his grip.

"Jack," Gibbs prodded.

"You'll feel a slight pinch. But then after that, it will feel much better."

"LIAR!" I yelled as he popped my shoulder back into place, crying like a baby as Gibbs allowed him to take me.

"Jack, her ankle." William pointed out. Upon inspection my boot was shredded and pools of blood were showing. My boot was promptly removed and more of William's shirt was shredded- this time by him- and the strips were wrapped tightly around the deep scratches.
