A/N: Thanks you to all the people who subscribed and reviewed(: That's the only reason I continue these stories.

Please remember, I only post a chapter if I get 3 reviews/1 or 2 reviews and some subscriptions. But I must have a review. Or else I don't see any point in continuing.

I'm actually almost done with the entire story, but I just have to upload it xD


Chapter three

Jack rapidly jiggled the lock of the cell that he shared with Adelaine. His idea to pick the lock with the bone hadn't been exactly fruitful, but it was worth a shot. His tongue stuck out of the corner of his mouth and he jiggled the lock again, only pausing to turn around when Adelaine stirred. She sat up, rubbing her eyes and yawning.

"Mornin' luv."

"Good morning, Captain."

Jack smiled and turned back to the lock, only to hear footsteps and reject the lock and flop down onto his back, and looking into the face of a questioning Adelaine.

"You! Sparrow!"

Jack lifted his head to see the eunuch he had fought with the day before. "Aye?"

The lad did a double take when he saw Adelaine sitting behind him. The girl glared.

"You measly little peasant," she hissed, earning a death glare.

"Good to see you again, pirate." Adelaine lunged at him, striking out at him through the bars.

"I'm not a pirate!"

"Luv!"

Jack pulled the livid girl away from the bars. Adelaine pulled away from him and sat, moping in the corner. The man glared at her before turning to Jack.

"You are familiar with that ship? the Black Pearl?"

Jack leaned back on his hands.

"I've heard of it."

"Where does it make berth?"

Jack leaned forward, off his hands and laughed.

"Where does it make berth? Have you not heard the stories? Captain Barbossa and his crew of miscreants sail from the dreaded Isla de Muerta . It's an island that cannot be found except by those who already know where it is." The man bit his lip. "The ship's real enough. Therefore its anchorage must be a real place. Where is it?" Jack leaned back again and studied his nails.

"Why ask me?"

"Because you're a pirate."

"An' you want to turn pirate yourself, is that it?" The man charged at the bars, his angry mug just inches away from Jack's face.

"Never! They took Miss Swann."

Jack grinned.

"Ah, so it is that you've found a girl. I see. Well, if you're intending to brave all, hasten to her rescue and so win fair lady's heart you'll have to do it alone, mate. I see no profit in it for me."

The man backed away from the bars.

"I can get you out of here."

"Deal!" Adelaine exclaimed, jumping forward, just earning a glare from the man and from Jack.

"Move aside, luv," Jack scolded before turning back to the man. "How's that? The key's run off." The man stood up and examined the cell doors before inserting a bench's legs in between the bars of the door.

"I helped build these cells. These are half pin-barrel the right leverage and the proper application of strength, the door will lift free."

Jack stuck his lower lip out and scrutinized the lad/man.

"What's you're name, lad?"

"Will Turner."

"That stand for William, I imagine. Good, strong name. No doubt, named for your father, eh?"

Will looked Jack up and down.

"Yes."

"Uh-huh. Well, Mr. Turner , I've changed me mind. If you spring me from this cell I swear on pain of death I shall take you to the Black Pearl and your bonny lass. Do we have an accord?"

Will stuck out his hand and they both shook. "Agreed."

Jack stood up. "Good. Now get me out of here."

"Wait!" Adelaine sprung up from her spot in the corner where she had observed the entire thing. "Take me with you! Please!"

Will growled.

"Why should we?" Adelaine glowered at him.

"I can be a valuable service to both of you." Will laughed.

"You? A female?" Adelaine bit the insides of her cheeks to keep herself from cursing him out.

"Please!" she begged. "This could be the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me!"

"I say we take her!" Jack exclaimed, pointing at the ceiling. Will grumbled but muttered a faint "fine" before pushing on the bench and springing the door free.

"Hurry, someone would have heard that." Jack nodded and ran to a wall.

"Not without my effects!"

Adelaine stepped in front of Will. "You owe me a sword."

Will grumbled even louder this time, but agreed.


Soon they were kneeling behind some bushes at the port(after a quick trip to Will's shop to get a sword).

Will squinted at the ships. "We're going to steal the ship. That ship?" he asked, pointing at the Dauntless. Jack shook his head.

"Commandeer. We're going to commandeer that ship."

"Nautical term," piped in Adelaine. She received some odd looks from both Jack and Will, before Jack turned back to the whelp.

"One question about your business, boy, or there's no use going. This girl? how far are you willing to go to save her?" Will stiffened.

"I'd die for her."

Adelaine smiled and fluttered her eyelashes. "Oh my goodness, how sweet." Will glared menacingly at her, to which she just responded with a smile.

Jack smiled and stepped forward out of the bushes. "Oh good. No worries then. Get under here." He motioned the two of them to get beneath a canoe. They obeyed without a lot of indecision, but with a significant quantity of inquiring statements. Jack shushed them and they tiptoed in the direction of the sea, still underneath the canoe. Adelaine had doubts about Jack's plan when they hit the brim of the water, but was soon entirely fascinated once they had gotten below water and were walking in air bubble. She laughed out loud.

"This is amazing!" Will grit his teeth.

"This is either sheer madness or pure brilliance." Jack grinned. "It's remarkable how often those two traits coincide."

Finally they rose up to the surface beside the Dauntless and climbed up the back of it, (no longer under the canoe), using the railings as ladders. When they reached the top, the trio un sheathed their swords and pointed them at the crew. Jack stepped forward saying, "Everyone stay calm! we are taking over the ship." Will appeared next to him.

"Aye! Avast!"

Adelaine groaned and Jack rolled his eyes as the crew started laughing. One of the men sneered at Jack.

"This ship cannot be crewed by two men and some woman. You'll never make it out of the bay!" Jack pointed his pistol at the man's nose and winked at Adelaine.

"Son, I'm Captain Jack Sparrow. Savvy?"
