Angelica woke up with the sun, as she always does, and snuck out of the tent. She sat on the top of a nearby hill watching the sunrise when she heard scuffling in a bush. She turned on it, blade in hand and found it was scrum. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry miss, didn't mean to scare ye. Just wonderin if you knew where sparrow was. wasn't in my tent." He rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.
"He was in mine." She admitted and saw scrums eyes widen. "No not like that!" she covered, knowing what he was thinking. "Although he tried." She muttered under her breath.
"Thanks m' lady." he tipped the hat he didn't have and started to walk off.
"Scrum!" she called and he turned around questioningly. "I trust that this information will stay between us?" She asked, but everyone knew that Angelica doesn't ask questions, she gives demands.
"Yes, ma'am" Scrum shuffled down the hill, scared of her. She just shook her head and walked back to camp. Everyone was awake so they began their journey again.
----------------------------------------------
Angelica was painfully quiet while they walked so Jack slowed down to talk to her.
"Something the matter, Angel?" He looked down at her seductively. Angelica looked at him funny for calling her Angel and then replied angrily,
"Why? Am I not allowed to be quiet?" Jack looked puzzled.
"What did I do this time?!" Jack said frustrated.
"Its not you." Angelica sighed and walked faster.
----------------------------------------------
They made it to a cliff that overlooked a waterfall. There was too much mist to see what was at the bottom.
"Jump" Blackbeard demanded to Jack.
"What?!?" Jack backed away.
"Scared of heights?" Angelica smirked him.
"No!" He lied. Blackbeard sighed and put six guns on a large rock.
"You have 3 minutes to jump, if that. For every 30 seconds you don't jump I shoot her. I know some of these guns are empty." Blackbeard proposed.
Angelica and Jack were gawking. Jack walked up to the guns, examining them.
"So you'd do something like this?" Jack shot one of the guns into the sky, empty. "Or this?" Jack tested another one and a bullet flew into the sky. Angelica started slowly back away, but backed into a man who held her from escape. Jack grabbed another gun but was seized by two strong men.
"Now you have 2 minutes at that." Blackbeard stated, aiming a gun at Angelica. Just as he was about to pull the trigger, they heard Jack screaming. Angelica breathed, not realize she was holding her breath. Jack had jumped.
