Scrum knocked on Angelica's door at midnight and she walked out with several knives and daggers strapped in various places on her body.
"I don't know how violent these people are." She replied to his stares.
"Are you trying to entice them as well?" He gestured to her tight clothing.
"I need to be able to move if I am going to have to fight." She crossed her arms and walked up on deck.
She met her team of strong men. "Let's head off." She ordered.
"No plan?" The biggest man asked. "Just what I'd expect from a woman leader."
Angelica stopped in her tracks and grabbed a dagger, almost attacking him, but Scrum held her back.
"She's hot headed." He mouthed to the man.
The man just snorted and walked to a boat.
"Scrum, you're in my boat." She ordered, gaining a nod.
They all grabbed a boat and headed off in the direction of the island.
"Miss Te- Mrs. Sparrow, what do we do when we get to the island." Scrum inquired as he rowed.
"Fight for our lives, and Jack's." She said as she carved a heart with 'J&A' inside into the boat.
Scrum watched and smiled at her. "You are in love." He chuckled.
she slowly shook her head. "Of course I am, but it's like he put me under a trance. I know I shouldn't love him but I can't help it. I can't imagine my life without him." She dropped her head into her hands.
"True love." We're Scrum's only words.
Angelica raised her head in confusion.
"That is true love," He answered. "Never question it, it is more valuable than the sea and all the gold among it." Scrum smiled. "You, Angelica, are a very lucky woman."
Angelica smiled. "I guess I am. He loves me and that's all I could ask for." She answered, mostly to herself.
"We're getting close m'lady." Scrum said with a blank face.
"Scrum?" Angelica questioned.
"Sorry mrs. It's just that.. you said these people are canibals?" He asked.
Angelica nodded slowly as they rowed closer.
As they reached 200 feet from shore, the people began firing with bow and arrows at them.
"Scrum!" Angelica screamed as he ducked right in time to dodge a headshot.
The man that insulted Angelica had already been shot down, and his boat sunk.
"Keep rowing! I'm getting him back." She ordered.
Scrum did as told and, once they reached shore, Angelica jumped off and began fighting the Sentinelese.
Jack suddenly emerged from the forest, running towards her as she struck down the attackers.
She smiled as he ran to her smacking her down on the sand. He immediately got back up to stop the two sides from fighting.
He spoke in a language that Angelica did not understand and apparently made peace with them.
"Jack!" Angelica cried in happiness as she jumped on him from behind.
Jack pushed her off and to the sand, drawing a native weapon at her.
Scrum noticed and ran to her side. "Are you ok?" He helped her up.
"No, he doesn't know me." She cried.
Jack and the natives held their weapons.
"Mrs, they sunk our boats." Scrum explained.
Angelica didn't answer, she just stared into Jack's cold eyes, showing no sign of life.
