Elizabeth's eyes scanned the paper what seamed to be ten times before it clicked in her mind what Will was saying.
My dearest Elizabeth,
Imagine my fright and despair to find that your new mailing address is the most renowned whore house in all of Turtoga. My heart longs to hold you again. My ship is sailing towards Singapore as you read this letter. I have sent my right hand man to find you and bring you to me. I know you have waited for me for too long, but I'm only asking for a little more time. I love you Elizabeth and I will save you.
Love,
William Turner
Elizabeth's heart thudded and she fell to the wall. She slid to the floor. Elizabeth tucked her knees to her chin and crumpled the letter in her hand.
"He couldn't come himself?!" She whispered sharply. "Does he love me so little that he needs to send one of his crew men to save me?" Elizabeth's eyes welded in tears. She rested her forehead on her knees. "It's his fault I'm here in the first place." She finally stood up and walked to her room.
Elizabeth quietly closed the door behind her.
"Elizabeth!" Ella called from her bed. Ella looked scared and anxious.
"Ella?" Elizabeth walked over to her and sat next to Ella.
"I have an idea."
"How did you get in here?" Elizabeth asked, still a little dazed from the letter she had just received.
"The door was not locked." Ella said.
"Oh." Elizabeth replied.
"Oh, I'm sorry Elizabeth." Ella looked a little hurt.
"Oh no, Ella. Don't think twice about it! You are always welcome in my quarters." Elizabeth said with a smile. She leaned forward, as if to make the conversation more private. "So what is your idea?"
Ella's smile came back to her face and she replied. "I know how you and I can get out of this bloody place. And we will avoid being bought. Not that it wasn't a good idea." Ella said in Elizabeth's defense.
"What do you propose we do?" Elizabeth asked, encouraging her to go on.
"Tonight is the night where we get many pirates in our mitts, right?" Elizabeth nodded. Ella continued. "We should sneak out onto one of their ships, hide in the rum room, and when they leave so do we."
Elizabeth looked at Ella with a smile. Elizabeth was amazed at the fact that Ella was so full of life. She obviously hadn't been there long. Elizabeth had a feeling that this wasn't going to work because A: it would be nearly impossible to get out without Madam Revali noticing, and B: they would get discovered in the rum room within minutes of the ship's departure. Despite her better judgment, Elizabeth agreed.
"Okay, but if this is going to work we need to make a plan." Elizabeth replied with a smile and enthusiasm in her eyes.
"You just leave that to me." Ella replied with a little smirk. Elizabeth chuckled. Ella got up and started walking away.
"Ella. I have one problem. Will sent me a note that said that he was coming to rescue me." Elizabeth said, looking at her nails.
"Think of it this way Elizabeth. Would you rather wait for a man who has taken two years to send you a letter, or leave with me tonight and put the ugliness of this horrid place behind you forever?" Ella asked with a sharpness in her eyes Elizabeth had never seen before.
Elizabeth thought about it and finally agreed. Ella started to walk back to the door again.
"Oh, Ella." Elizabeth said. Ella turned around and walked back to Elizabeth. Elizabeth swallowed.
"Did you get my note?" Elizabeth asked with slight hesitation. Elizabeth didn't want Ella to think she was doing her any favors.
Ella slowly walked over to her. "Yes, I did. Thank you." Ella said quietly. "Since all my earnings goes to Madam Revali, it's nice to have something of my own. So, thank you."
"I know how bad it gets here." Elizabeth replied with a smile.
"Since I met you, Elizabeth. My hopes of getting out of this place have risen. Thank you for being here." Elizabeth smiled warm heartedly at Ella.
Ella felt awkwardness around the two of them. Ella wanted to give her a hug. She over thought the whole concept but then she realized that all she needed was the two arms connected to her shoulders. She spread her arms out wide and wrapped them around Elizabeth's shoulder.
Elizabeth was sort of surprised at first but hugged her back. Elizabeth knew that all this young girl needed was a friend. And as the hug went on Elizabeth realized that all she needed was a friend too.

"So do you have the plan understood?" Ella asked Elizabeth. They were hidden behind the bar. They were crouched down, not to be seen.
"Yes. I have it all down." Elizabeth replied sweetly. She was actually excited about this. The plan actually sounded pretty legitimate. They were to sneak past the door and run to the first ship they see. And if they get stopped they have at least three different accuses planned.
Elizabeth and Ella had all their money in their pockets.
"Let's go." Elizabeth said. They started walking towards the exit with ease. They were walking so close to not lose each other in the crowd of pirates and drunken losers.
"Swann!" A way too familiar voice called from behind the two women. Ella and Elizabeth stopped in their tracks.
They spun around, clung to each other.
"Elizabeth you have a costumer." Madam Revali said with out a second thought. She walked past the girls.
"I can't." Elizabeth whispered to Ella. "I'm not doing this anymore."
"Lets run!" Ella proposed, and Elizabeth closely followed. The girls bolted through the crowd. Elizabeth wasn't looking an ran into a man.
"Here she is." Madam Revali came up behind the man. "She's all yours. For thirty pounds."
The man grabbed Elizabeth's arm and started pulling her away.
"Ella, go without me!" Elizabeth called.
Ella ran up to the man and started to pull Elizabeth away from him. The man pushed Ella away. Elizabeth bit the man's arm, hard. The man pulled away to inspect the wound. By the time he looked up, Elizabeth and Ella were out of site.
Ella pulled Elizabeth through the crowd and Elizabeth had to sprint to keep up with her. They looped around the huge bar.
Elizabeth's hand became sweaty and with a plop slipped out of Ella's.
Ella kept running and Elizabeth tried to follow her but she was getting lost.
Elizabeth was running so fast that she didn't even see the man in front of her. She ran into him.
"Oh, I'm very sorry." She said to the man and looked up. Her eyes widened, and she gasped. "Jack Sparrow?"
YEA! And the second is done. This took me a good few hours to get it just right. I also set up some twists for future chapters. Remember that I love reviews so just drop one! And remember to check out the next eight chapters! Thanks!
