It was now night-time in Port Royal and Jack and Lilia had been in the cell for what felt like hours. Lilia was sitting by the window of the prison cell looking out at the sea, when she saw a black ship with black sails sailing in towards the port.

"Come here boy, want a nice juicy bone? Come her, come on" said one of the prisoners in the next cell, since Jack had threatened them earlier they had been trying to get the attention of the dog with the keys.

"You can keep doing that forever the dog is never going to move" slurred Jack's voice to Lilia's left.

"Oh, excuse us if we haven't resigned ourselves to the gallows just yet" said the prisoner, Jack just smiled.

BANG!

"I know those guns!" exclaimed Jack as he leaped up to look out the window, "It's the Pearl" stated Jack.

"The Pearl?" asked Lilia

"The Black Pearl? I've heard stories. She's been preying on ships and settlements for near ten years. Never leaves any survivors." Said the same prisoner from just a minute ago.

"No survivors! Then where do the stories come from I wonder?" said Jack which just confused the prisoner. Jack turned back to look through the window at his precious ship and then suddenly remembered what he had told Lilia back in Tortuga.

"Lilia, come here", he whispered.

"Yeah" she whispered back walking over to stand next to him.

"You know that ship I was talking about back in Tortuga? The one that was stolen from me? The one that belongs to me and not that bastard who stole it?" he said.

"Oh yeah!" said Lilia.

"That's it!" Jack said, nodding his head towards the Pearl. Lilia smiled.

"Well I can't see it properly from here but I'm sure it looks beautiful close up" she said. Jack grinned. As he looked out the window he saw a cannon flying towards the prison.

"Get down!" he yelled as he grabbed Lilia and fell to the floor landing right on top of her.

"Sorry" he whispered

"That's alright" she whispered back. As Jack and Lilia got up they noticed the cannon had blown a hole in the next cell.

"My sympathies friends, you've no manner of luck at all" said one of the prisoners as he climbed down the rocks and into dark streets.

Jack walked over to the front of the cell, picked up the bone and crouched down and started calling the dog to come over.

"I thought you said that dog is never going to move" said Lilia walking over to crouch down next to him.

"You're right I did, but now those scoundrels are gone I figured I might have a go" he answered back.

"Come on doggy. It's just you and me now, you and ol' Jack and Lilia. Come on. Come on. Good boy. That's a good boy, come on! Bit closer, bit closer. That's it, that's it doggy. Come on, you filthy, slimy, mangy cat" said Jack than there came a crash from upstairs and the dog then ran down the stairs.

"No, no, no, no, no I didn't mean it!" Jack called after the dog, then a dead prison guard fell down the stairs. Lilia gasped as she heard footsteps come down the stairs.

"Get back! And be silent!" Jack whispered, she then backed into the corner of the cell that was covered in darkness so she couldn't be seen. Two pirates then appeared at the bottom of the stairs.

"This ain't the armory!" said one of them. The other then noticed Jack in the cell.

"Well, well, well, look what we have here Twigg – Captain Jack Sparrow" said the pirate as Twigg then spat at Jack.

"Last time I saw you, you were all alone on a godforsaken island shrinking into the distance, his fortunes aren't improved much" said Twigg giving Jack an evil grin.

"Worry about your own fortunes gentlemen. The deepest circle of hell is reserved for betrayers and mutineers" said Jack grinning, but his smile was immediately wiped off his face, as one of the pirates grabbed his throat and Jack saw his skeletal arm which made Lilia gasp but not enough for the pirates to hear.

"So there is a curse, that's interesting" Jack said looking down at the skeleton hand around his neck.

"You know nothing of Hell!" said the pirate and they both turned around and left.

"That's very interesting!" Jack said but more to himself than to Lilia, he then heard her breathe out a sigh of relief behind.

"Are you alright?" she asked rushing up to him to see if he was alright.

"I'm fine, neck hurts a bit, but I'm fine are you alright?" he asked her.

"Yes I'm fine" she said.

"Good. Well luv we best get some sleep" he said.

"Hmm, oh yeah" she said then realising how tired she was. They both laid down on the floor and Jack put his arms around her to keep her warm. He liked the fact that she fit so perfectly in his arms.

Lilia instantly felt better in Jack's arm, she felt safe, as if he would never let anything bad happen to her even if it was a little scratch.

"I'm glad you're here Jack" she said.

"And I'm glad you're here" he said, he then kissed the back of her head and hugged her tighter as they both fell into a peaceful sleep.
