After escaping Long John Silver, I felt a mix of relief and fear. Though I had gotten away, I knew he was still hiding somewhere on the island. While searching for a safer spot, I heard voices nearby—Silver and a sailor named Tom.
“I want you with me!” Silver shouted. “When we have the treasure, there's gold for you too!” “Never!” cried Tom. “I'm not a murderer. You're guilty, all of you!” Sadly, these were the last words of Tom. It was a gunshot, Silver's gun.
My heart raced as I ran deeper into the forest, not caring which direction I took. Suddenly, a figure moved between the trees. Was it a wild animal? A pirate? Even Silver himself appeared less terrible to me now.
The shadow crept closer. “Who are you?” I whispered, stepping back. “Ben Gunn,” the man replied softly. His clothes were torn, and his eyes looked haunted. “I've been alone here for three years. Who are you?” “Jim Hawkins,” I answered.
Ben pointed shakily toward the distant ship offshore. “Is that Captain Flint's ship?” he asked, his voice trembling.
“No. Flint is dead,” I explained. “But there are some of his old hands abroad, like Silver.”
“Not a man... with one... leg?” Ben asked in a tremulous voice, with his pale face and scared eyes.
“You mean Silver? He once worked as a cook on the ship,” I added. “Now, he is also on the island to find Flint's treasure. He wants to kill anyone in their way and take over the ship!”
Ben nodded slowly. “I was on Flint's ship when he buried the treasure. Six sailors helped him dig, but only Flint returned alive. No one knows how he made it, not a man except him could make out. It was a battle, a murder and a sudden death—him against six.” His words sent a chill down my spine.
Before I could ask more, loud explosions shook the island. Smoke rose near the shore—the pirates were fighting! Ben grabbed my arm. “We must hide! Silver won't stop until he gets what he wants.”
Together, we hurried into the forest, unsure if we'd ever escape the island—or Silver's greed.
