Chapter 8

Aztec Gold

(Annabeth's pov)

*on the Black Pearl*

I sat in the captain's cabin as the Black Pearl sailed to some unknown destination. The steady swaying and bobbing motion of the ship made my face a little green since it has been a long time I have sailed on ship. A clutter of footsteps echoed behind me as I saw the two pirates that captured me walk in with a velvet dress in their arms.

My tempered flared when the one carrying the dress smirked and winked at me, "You'll be dinning with the captain, and he requests you wear this."

I tried to hold in my gag when I thought about the captain being "romantic" to me, "Well you may tell the captain that I am disinclined to acquiesce to his request."

"He said you'd say that," he gave a short laugh while the other pirate smirked at me, "He also said, if that be the case, you'll be dinning with the crew…and you'll be naked."

They both laughed as I face an impossible decision: dine with the captain or with the crew? Hastily I changed my mind and grabbed the dress from the pirate's hand, his smug look turning into a glare. I gave them a sarcastic look as they left, at the same time; I hurriedly slipped on the dress as the other pirates set out trays of food on the table. Moments later the captain arrived, his black eyes had a hint of lust and evil in them.

He bade me to take a seat and served me first, roast pork with bread and grapes. I hesitantly took a bite for the fear of it being poisoned though he must've sensed that I was worried about the food for he spoke, "There's no need to stand on ceremony, nor call to impress. You must be hungry?" I didn't really know what he was talking about but eh, who cares. I grabbed my food with both hands and gnawed at it with hunger, my teeth sinking into the cooked pork with eagerness. He handed me as goblet filled with wine, "Try the wine." My hands acted for me as I grabbed the wine and drank it, the cool liquid hydrating my throat. Soon he handed me a green apple, the sickly green skin of the fruit made me want to vomit all the food I had just swallowed, "And the apples, one of those next?"

I quickly dropped my fork and spoon, the pet monkey he had was eating a piece of the apple he was offering me, "It's poisoned."

Hades softly chuckled, "There would be no sense to be killing you Ms. Jackson."

"Then release me! You already have your trinket, I'm of no further value to you," my fingers were crossed behind me, hoping that he would let me go.

The captain lifted up his coat and pulled out the medallion out of his pocket, the bright gold shining in the candle light, "You don't know what this is, do you?"

"It's a pirate medallion."

"This is Aztec gold. One of 882 identical pieces they delivered in a stone chest to Cortes himself," his eyes were gleaming as he told me the story of the medallion, the same medallion I took from Percy years ago, "Blood money paid to stem the slaughter he wreaked upon them and his armies. But the greed of Cortes was insatiable. So the heathen gods placed upon the gold a terrible curse. Any mortal that removes but a single piece from that stone chest shall be punished for eternity."

I narrowed my eyes at him in disbelief, "I hardly believe in ghost stories anymore, Captain Hades."

"Aye," he sat up from his chair and handed the medallion to his monkey, at the same time I hid a knife in my dress sleeve just in case I needed to kill when I made my escape, "That's exactly what I thought when we were first told the tale. Buried on an island of dead what cannot be found, except for those who know where it is." He leaned towards me and spoke right next to my ear making me shudder, "Find it, we did. There be the chest. Inside be the gold. And we took them all!" his voice was as if he was yearning for them…wanting them like what happened before…the sin of greed in his eyes as he kept telling me his story, "We spent them and traded them and fritted them away on drink and food and pleasurable company. The more we gave them away, the more we came to realize, the drink would not satisfy, food turned to ash in our mouths, and all the pleasurable company in the world could not slake out lust."

Hades' eyes showed for what I thought I saw was regret, pain, suffering for selling all that cursed treasure away that I almost believed him, felt sorry for him, "We are cursed men, Miss Jackson. Compelled by greed, we were, but now we are consumed by it."

The monkey began to screech as the captain was nearing the end of his tale, the feeling of escaping growing more in the corners of my mind, "There is one way we can end the curse." He petted the head of his pet monkey as he turned back to look at me, "All the scattered pieces of Aztec gold must be restored and the blood repaid." With a wave his hand, the monkey jumped on to his arm and ran out of the room with the medallion in his hand, "Thanks to ye, we have the final piece."

My heart started to race as his lips formed into an evil smirk, "And the blood to be repaid?"

Hades let out his evil laugh, "That's why there's no sense to be killin' you…yet." His laughter rang in my ears as he handed me the apple again, "Apple?"

In a flash I knocked the apple out of his hand and lunged for the door but he was too fast for me. His arms tried to wrap me as I darted to the side; a wooden pillar was my only hiding place. It was like a game of cat and mouse, whichever side I appeared from, he was always there to force me back. Finally I took my chances and lunged for the door but Hades still managed to wrap me in his arms.

Out of instinct, I turned and sank my knife into his chest, the sound of it making my ears ring in fear. I stepped with fear coursing throughout my whole body as Hades dropped his gaze towards the knife that was sticking out of his chest, well where his heart was located. Slowly he pulled the knife out until it was full out, his own blood dripping down from the silver metal, "I'm curious. After killing me, what is it you're planning on doing next?"

Pure fear took over me and I stumbled out into the deck of horror as the entire crew was…well…skeletons. Everywhere I looked there was a skeleton rubbing floors or pulling ropes. Out of my blinding fright, I was pushed into the chaos: getting stuck with a pair of skeletons who were turning the wheel on the main mast then falling down to the cargo hold only to be tossed into the air as if I was some toy ball.

As I was falling I was caught by a skeleton pirate who was swinging from the ropes, his white decayed teeth only inches away from my nose. I screamed, yes I screamed so loud like never before as I was actually living this night mare. The pirate holding on to me forcefully let go of me and I fell onto the upper deck where the helm was only to be chased by another undead pirate. Luckily the wheel was in front of us which gave me a good weapon to work with. At the right moment when he was leaning forward, I spun the wheel towards me, unfortunately for him, his chin was caught on one of the pegs and his neck snapped back all the way to his back. I nearly threw up as I watched the pirate snap his head back into place and glared at me as he did so. It was too much for me and I found myself running down the stairs and hiding underneath it, my heart pumping its adrenaline.

Suddenly the damn monkey appear next to me screeching, he too was completely skeleton. I quickly dashed back into the cabin only to be met face to face again with Captain Hades, "Look! The moonlight shows us for what we really are. We are not among the living, and so we cannot die. But neither are we dead." He shoved me away and slowly walked towards me, "For too long I've been parched of thirst and unable to quench it. Too long I've been starving to death and haven't died." Hades slowly reached out to me as he kept walking, his hand and arm slowly turning into that of pure bone, "I feel nothing. Not the wind on my face nor the spray of the sea, nor the warmth of a woman's flesh. You best start believing in ghost stories, Miss Jackson. You're in one!"

Hades was now standing under the moonlight, his entire body showing that awful skeletal form of his. To make it worse, he began to drink a bottle of rum, the red liquid splashing on his rib cage like blood. I quickly ran past him and hid in the cabin, my nightmare was truly real.

(Captain Nico's pov)

*Tortuga docks aka Sea of Monsters*

"Feast your eyes, Captain. All of them faithful hands before the mast, every man worth his salt," Chiron showed us all of the men he managed to gather from the night before, all of them presenting a range of…well weirdness. We passed by a normal looking guy, an old guy, a scraggly looking guy, and a midget…who looked really pissed with his mini goatee, "And crazy to boot."

Percy blinked and gawked at the crew before him, "So this is you able-bodied crew?"

I ignored Percy's comment and walked up to a pirate who had a parrot on his shoulder, "You, sailor!"

"Chris Rodriguez sir," said Chiron.

"Mr. Rodriguez, do you have the courage of fortitude to follow orders and stay true in the face of danger and almost sudden death?" the sailor seemed to be hard of hearing so his focus from me was gone as I kept speaking to him, "Mr. Rodriguez! Answer, man!"

Chiron stepped and whispered to us, "He's a mute sir. Poor devil had his tongue cut out so he trained the parrot to talk for him. No one's yet figured how."

Percy and I almost threw up when we both saw his missing tongue from his mouth. Slowly I looked to Chiron again then back at sailor and tried again, "Mr. Rodriguez's parrot. Same question."

The parrot squawked, "Wind in the sails! Wind in the sails!"

Chiron shook his head, embarrassment in his eyes as well as confusion, "Mostly we figure that means 'yes'."

"Of course it does," I turned to face Percy who was just standing there in shock and in disbelief, "Satisfied?"

Percy scoffed and whispered, "Well, you've proven they're mad."

Suddenly a woman's voice was heard from the crew, a voice that chilled my bones in a sisterly way, "And what's the benefit for us?"

Slowly yet cautiously I walked down to the source of the voice, a pirate wearing a ladies hat. Gently I slid the hat down to reveal her face…my sister's face, "Bianca di Angelo."

She slapped me hard on the face just like those girls from last night, Percy on the other hand was laughing and smirking at me, "I suppose you didn't deserve that one either?"

"No, that one I deserved."

Bianca was on raging fury as she shoved her finger in my face, "You stole my boat!"

"Actually—," another slap to my face, this time it stung like I just got hit by a whip, "Borrowed. Borrowed without permission. But with every intention of bringing it back."

Her dark eyes glared at me as she yelled in my face, "BUT YOU DIDN'T!"

I quickly blurted out something to shut her up, "You'll get another one!"

She poked my chest hard and increased her death glare, "I will."

Just then Percy butted in, "A better one."

I nodded, "A better one."

He pointed to where the Interceptor was docked, "That one!"

I looked to him, "What one?"

Percy pointed again to the ship and I growled in anger at him, "THAT ONE!"

He smirked and nodded, his sea green eyes quickly flashing to Bianca who was still glaring at me. I slowly turned back towards her and sighed, "Aye…that one. What say you?"

"Aye!"

"AYE!"

Chiron suddenly butted in and spoke in a scared voice, "No, no, it's frightful bad luck to bring a woman aboard, sir."

I looked nervously up at the sky and shivered, "It'll be far worse not to have her."

(Chiron's pov)

*at night, sailing on the Interceptor in a storm*

The ship lurched forward and back, side to side as the storm brewed before us. Devastating waves and hurricane winds buffeted us as we kept sailing through the storm. Nico was at the wheel, his face molded into a grin as he kept steering the ship through the storm, his compass in his hands.

Suddenly a huge wave battered the ship from the starboard side knocking both me and Percy to the deck, both of us completely drenched in sea water, "How can we sail to an island that nobody can find with a compass that doesn't work?"

"Aye, the compass doesn't point North," I quickly tied the mast line in place and gave Percy a smug look, "But we're not trying to find North, are we?"

We kept sailing through the storm nonstop, the ship rocking back and forth even more violently as we went deeper and deeper into uncharted waters. I slowly made my way up to the helm as Nico kept driving the ship through the freak storm, "We should drop canvas, sir."

Nico smirked, "She can hold a bit longer."

Another huge wave rocked us again, this time I was sure we knocked off course, "What's in your head that's put you in such a fine mood captain?"

A foolish yet triumphant grin appeared on his face, "We're catching up."
