Chapter 9: Creeper’s Cove

Patrick stood near the main mast, watching the pirate ship approach. The flag was almost large enough to see Blackheart’s sign on it.

“They’re gaining on us,” Patrick called out to his companions.

“Aye,” Ebin said as he stood next to Patrick, squinting to see in the moonlight. “Their wind must be stronger than ours.”

“I’m not sure that’s how it works.”

Ebin glared at him, then walked off, his new shirt of bones rattling. Patrick wasn’t fond of the noise the shirts made, but he was glad they kept the skeletons at bay. If he’d known this would keep off skeletons, he probably would’ve crafted a bone shirt long ago.

The skeletons were starting to look at the sky nervously as it turned from pink to light blue. The ship continued to gain on them. When the clouds turned white, the skeletons cowered next to the captain’s cabin door. If they didn’t hide inside, they’d burst into flames at the first sign of the sun.

But then they saw it—Creeper’s Cove.

Coming around a bend between jagged rocks that stuck up like swords, Patrick was amazed to see an island that sloped back into a jungle. Rocky ground gave way to the cove below, just high enough for a small ship to sail into.

He’d been here once before. On that day, he’d given his word never to return.

“We’ve beat them to it!” Ebin said, his voice cracking with excitement. “Get us in there, Bonecrusher!”

Bonecrusher laughed heartily, and then turned the wheel hard.

Entering the cove was like stepping into a mouth—dark and damp. Even the air was moist. From somewhere deep within, a sad song played on a lute. It cut off the moment the ship was fully covered by the shadows of the rocks above.

At least the skeletons didn’t have to worry about the sun in here.

“You’re sure about this?” Captain Bonecrusher asked, maneuvering the wheel with caution, eyes straining in the dark to look out for stray rocks that could ground them.

“Not at all,” Patrick replied. “But you got a better plan for escaping the federation and finding the Blade of the Sea before them, now’d be a fine time to tell me.”

Bonecrusher continued to steer in silence.

“What is it about this Blade thing, anyway?” Ebin asked.

“You ain’t heard of the Blade of the Sea?” Bonecrusher asked with disbelief.

“Come on,” Ebin said. “Of course I have. The legendary Blade of the Sea, said to be the key to a legendary land where resources are infinite and the weapons are out of this world.”

“So then you know it’s a big deal.”

“Yeah, with it no one could resist PB&J.” Ebin rolled his eyes. “I get that. But what I don’t get is why we care.”

“You were running away from them, no?” Patrick asked. “You never wanted any part of PB&J ever again.”

“I mean, yeah. They’re ruthless…And being part of them, it’s like you’re stuck. No freedom, no sailing the open seas like a pirate should. It’s do what they say when they say it.”
