This is the final chapter!!! Kind of anyway, LOL. Anyway enjoy!
Jessie slowly walked through the crowd, her Aunt by her side. She saw Jack; his hands tied together, being led to the gallows. His face was troubled, but otherwise he seemed his usual self. Jessie seemed to step very carefully through the crowd, like she was walking on glass; but Elinor paid no attention.
"Miss Spare!" Jessie normally would have snapped her head in the direction of the voice, but this time she just slowly turned her head, and found that the voice belonged to Commodore Rheese.
"Commodore?" She said pleasantly, wondering what he wanted.
"You and your Aunt are of such high society, it would be preposterous for you to be with the commoners. Come up here with myself and the Governor." Commodore Rheese said.
Jessie looked at her Aunt, who nodded. Slowly they made their way to where the Commodore was. Jessie carefully stepped up onto a platform-type thing and was surprised to see that Elizabeth wasn't there.
"Where's Elizabeth?" Jessie asked inquisitively to the Governor.
"She's fallen ill," replied the Governor.
All this time Elinor had waited for Jessie to help her up, but Jessie had completely ignored Elinor. So she was forced to hoist herself up onto the platform, Elinor gave Jessie an angry glance, but Jessie just smiled.
The drums started and Jessie winced, she hoped with all her might that her plan would work out, or else she and Jack were doomed. The official pulled out the proclamation and started reading.
"Jack Sparrow," the official started reading.
Both Jack and Jessie rolled their eyes and muttered under their breath, "Captain".
"Be it known, that you have been tried and convicted for your willful commission of crimes against the crown. Said crimes being numerous in quantity and sinister in nature, the most egregious of these to be cited herewith; piracy, smuggling, sailing under false colors, kidnapping, looting, poaching, brigandage, pilfering, depravity, depredation, and general lawlessness. And for these crimes you have been sentenced to be, on this day, hung by the neck until dead." The official finished and then nodded to the executioner who put the noose around Jack's neck.
The beats of the drums grew faster and faster as the executioner walked over to the lever that would drop the floor under Jack's feet, and ultimately lead to Jack's death.
All this time the official had been talking; Jessie had started to unlace her hat. And right before the executioner pulled the leaver Jessie took off her hat and grabbed a knife that was resting on her head.
"STOP!" Jessie yelled, and the drums stopped abruptly
Jessie silently thanked Liberty for the knife as she put it to Elinor's throat. And then Jessie yelled again, this time to the executioner.
"Don't move! Or Miss Elinor dies!" Jessie yelled, her hand steady on the knife that was pressed lightly against Elinor's throat.
The executioner was confused; he didn't know what to do. He looked over to the Commodore and the Governor for an answer. The Commodore's face was red with anger and the Governor was to astonished for words.
"You don't want lovely old Elinor to die, do you?" Jessie asked, her eyes focusing on the Commodore and Governor.
"Sorry it came to this, Elinor. I wish it really hadn't." Jessie said in Elinor's ear, a smirk planted on her face.
"Release him!" Jessie said, nodding over to Jack, who was standing with a noose around his neck, smiling from ear to ear.
The Governor nodded and with a defeated voice and a big sigh said, "Release him."
The executioner walked over to Jack and pulled the noose off of Jack's neck, and then he untied his hands.
"Well," Jack said, walking down the steps of the gallows. "I think this day went pretty well."
"You will regret this, Jessica Sparrow!" Elinor hissed, ignoring Jack.
"Jessie" Jessie corrected Elinor and then she took the knife off of Elinor's neck.
"Sparrow…..It fits me." Jessie said and then she made a run for it.
"RUN!" Jessie shouted to Jack as she made her way to the battlement, which she planned to escape by jumping off of it.
"GET THEM!" both the Governor and the Commodore shouted as they saw Jessie and Jack getting away.
Redcoats seemed to come out of nowhere and soon Jessie and Jack were seemingly surrounded. Jessie started backing up when the redcoats pointed their guns straight at her and Jack. Soon they were backed up against the low wall of the battlement.
"What now?" Jack asked in a disgusted tone.
"We fall." Jessie said in a low voice so only Jack heard it.
Elinor soon made her away through all the redcoats so that she could face Jessie.
"I told you that you would regret this." Elinor said in a very pleased tone.
"Ah, but you forgot something….. I'm Jessie Sparrow, Savvy?" Jessie said and with that she pushed Jack over the low battlement wall. And then she turned around to face the ocean, and she jumped.
