Before, I took the place of the dead ,I laid Faria’s body at my bed for the guard don’t suspect and would think that I was slepping. So, I waited for many hours but, finally, I’ve heard footsteps outside the door. The guards took me out of the prison and put a heavy weight on to the ground next to him and tied the weight round my feet!. I heard the sound of waves against the rocks. So, they lifted my head and by my feet, at three count they threw me into the air!. I realized they have thrown me into the sea, that was the grave of the Chateau d’If, the sea!. Because I still held the knife on my right hand, quickly cut open the bag, got one arm out and then my body. I fight to survive and finally reached down and cut the stone free!. I swam behind the sea because I didn’t want nobody see me, specially because they had lamp and were around. Affortunately, nobody saw me, I swam for hours, trying to reach an island. I thought, “ When they will discover that is the body of my poor friend which is there instead me they will look for me at land and sea!!. I am cold, I am hungry, I have lost my knife, Oh my God!, Help me!. After this a boat came with two mean, someone caught me by the hair and pulled me up. After that, I heard and saw nothing!.

The Story of the Treasure : Chapter 9 and 10
Next morning Dantes return to Faria´s room. Faria looked a little better. So, he showed me a little piece of paper, half of it burned away. Faria said, “ I will tell you the story of this paper. It is about a friend who help prince Spada, the last of the princes of that name. I was very happy with him. Along time ago, his family was very rich. He told me about another Spada, this man lived and died at the time of Cesare Borgia. Cesare needed money for his wars, but the country was very poor. Finally, he thought of a plan. He asked two famous rich men, Rospigliosi and Spada to dinner, but Spada a wise man thought, “Cesare wants my money. He will kill me”. He wrote a note, and then he went to the dinner. So, Spada drank and died. Consequently, Cesare took all the dead man´s papers and the last letter from Spada said, “I give everything to my brother´s child, all my money and books. Tell him to keep the prayer book with the gold corners carefully “. Cesare couldn’t found no information about the Spada treasure. My friend died and left me everything to me. He asked me to write a history of the Spada family. One night I fire the piece of white paper, that was in the bible, casually and I saw some letter in gold writing, it was a map, a map to the treasure! . After this, officers took me prisioner soon and I came to Chateu de I´f. I have never had the opportunity to look for it, but if you escape with me, half of the treasure will be yours, my friend!. “You have been as son for me, thank you for make my days less painful my here”, said Faria. One day, while we where caving the tunnel Faria got terrible hurted by fall rocks, so, he died. I desperate try to think what to do, before the guards come back, so, I realized was my unique opportunity to escape. I remember Faria has a knife, immediately I waited until guards put him into the bag to opened it and change my place for Faria´s. I knew it for sure, will be hard to get out of there after fallen in the ocean but what should I lose? I´ve already lose everything, but still has will to fight and a hope that was more present than never, things could change!.

Chapter 7 to Chapter 8
As days and weeks passed I started to think that the officer´s visit was only a dream. Suddenly, one evening I heard a sound in the wall next to my bed. I thought was only one dream, too!. Sometime later I heard the noise again, so, I realized , “ It must be a prisoner trying to escape”. I thought for a little bit to made a tool to carve and help me!. Might there is still hope!, I said. I broke the water pot and use one of the sharp pieces, when I made a hole half a meter wide, something stopped me, it was a great piece of wood. So, I whisper resigned, “Oh, my God, I just want to die. I have lost all hope”. At that moment a voice under earth said, “Who is the man who can talk at the same time about God and about hopelessness?” I got up into my knees and beg, “In the name of god speak again!”. The voice, ask me back, “Who are you?” so, I explained him what happened to me. He said to talk again until next day, he just told me that he was Number 27.The next morning, some stones fell down into the opening of the hole, and the man appears into my room. He was a small men with white hair, and a long beard. Unfortunately my new friend worked hard carving in a wrong direction to escape. He also was happy to see me, looks like a good men!.He asked, “Do you know what is outside those walls?”. So, we looked at the third side of the room and climbed toward a high up window in the wall. It faces soldier guards are there day and night. It is not possible to escape!, he said. Finally, he told me his name was Faria and why he was so calm. So, I arrived for first time to Faria´s room. I asked him to teach me all what he knows as very wise man he was, in that way, time would spend more quickly for both. I learned history of world, English language, new ideas and many other things. Even thought, my friend had a terrible illness that I realized after an attack someday and the hidden antidote to stopped it. So, it was on control, so far.

Chapter 4 to Chapter 6
I was still with the heart on my hands when I came into a room for be judged by Villefort , the judge. My tears were falling into my face while I answered where I was when the soldiers took me “I was at my wedding”. After a moment, I red the incriminatory letter and realized that I had a real enemy! . All was about the promise that I made to my Captain Leclerc before he died, to go to Elba and ask for Marshal Bertrand, give him this letter and he had given me another letter. So, that is why I´m going to Paris tomorrow to give it to Noirtier. Villefort tried to hide his impression about the name , while he red the letter, he covered his face with his hands. The judge started to think, “ If he knows that Noirtier is my father and enemy of king?. If he knows this, then I am in real danger”. After, he told me to stay that I couldn´t leave yet . So, the judge gave directions to follow the soldier. No too much time happened when I was in a boat asking where were we going, I should have imagined that it wasn´t good at all!. I arrived at the Chateau d´If, this prison was about 300 years old and usually prisioners who go there never return. There, they took me into a dark room, the first light of day I couldn´t realized what was happening?, Why was I in that place?. I was concerned not to become crazy. As prisioner number 34, an important officer came to see me, so, just said, “I only want to know what is going to happen to me. Give me your permission to see a judge”, almost begging him. So, the officer left some hope in the room. Then, he looked in the prison book and found: “ Edmond Dantes is a dangerous man, he helped Napoleon return from Elba. Watch him carefully”. So, he concluded he couldn´t help me.
