Will and Jack were dead drunk. They were laughing like mad and tripping over there own feet. In his sorrow Will had decided to take Jack up on his offer to have some rum, and had forgotten about Elizabeth.
"Now don't you feel better mate?" Jack chuckled.
Will was about to answer when he felt a pain in his chest. He remembered Elizabeth. How could he ever have forgotten her? Why wasn't he out searching for her right now? Oh yes he was drunk. These thoughts immediately sobered him up.
"Mate?" Jack asked.
"We have to find Elizabeth. I can't be sitting around drinking when she's in danger." It hurt his head to speak.
"Alright." Said Jack. "You go on and I'll watch the rum."
"No Jack. You're coming with me."
"I'd really rather not."
"Oh well, you're coming. I need some help to find Elizabeth and God knows no one else in this town will be likely to oblige." Jack was to drunk to protest anymore. "So where's your ship?" Will asked.
"Oh yeah. Well ya see mate me crew won't be back for two days." He said with a hiccup.
Will's jaw dropped. "I can't wait two whole days! Elizabeth could be dead by then! "
"Well we don't need the Pearl to go looking Elizabeth."
"What are you talking about Jack? We don't have any other ship."
"Well we could- I know you're not gonna like this but- we could commandeer a ship."
"No Jack! Remember what happened last time we 'commandeered' a ship?"
"And it all worked out in the end didn't it? To tell you the truth it's our only option unless you'd rather wait two days. And you said it yourself it may be to late then."
Will sighed. "Alright." He said, reluctantly. "Let's get going."
"Alright!" Jack stood up quickly and fell on to the floor. "Uh. Maybe this should wait until tomorrow." Said Jack from the floor.
"No Jack!" But it was to late. Jack was already dead asleep. "Fine, but we start first thing tomorrow."

A short and skinny man sat alone in a puddle of blood, but it was to dark to tell how far the blood had spread. He felt like crying and he cursed himself for it. He was so weak he made himself sick.
That was why the captain had made him do such a horrible thing. It was a test. Half to test his loyalties and half to scare him to death.
The man ran his hands threw the blood. He was thinking how he had just killed a living, breathing thing; a young women no less. He had never done that before, which was surprising seeing as he was a pirate.
He stood up slowly to light the lamp. As his eyes adjusted to the light he saw the form of the girl in question, tied to a chair, covered in blood: Elizabeth Turner.

The next morning Will had to drop his breakfast plate on Jack's head to get him to even move. "Jack! Get up! We must go save Elizabeth!"
"Ow." Jack grumbled. "That smarts." He added as he held his head.
"It's your own fault for getting drunk. Now get up!"
"Hold on mate. You were drunk too."
"Well apparently not enough. Now get up!" This time dropped several books.
"I'm up. I'm up. Just cut it out."
Before long Jack was ready to leave. Most of the time Will had been at his side, hurrying him on. Jack barely even got breakfast.
"Hurry up Jack!" Will called loudly from the front door.
"Uh mate. Whatever happened to that sneaking around, so I don't get arrested, yet again?"
"Oh. Sorry. Now come on."
"I guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks." He sighed and followed Will.
It took awhile to get to the docks because they were so far from the house. When Jack pointed this out to Will he replied with, "Well I wasn't planning on needing to get there in a hurry."
"Will have I taught you nothing? A pirate always plans on getting away in a hurry."
"Well I'm not a pirate." They said nothing else until they reached the docks. "Alright Jack. You take it from here."
"What?"
"You heard me. Take it from here."
"Will have you forgotten I'm a wanted man. Most of these people know that." He said with a satisfied smile.
"Fine. Stay close but out of sight." Will said. Jack nodded, but he was again a little annoyed to be ordered around.
Will walked casually to the guards' and appeared to strike up a friendly conversation. Jack could not hear the words from where he stood. The guards' tone's became angry and Will slipped by them quickly and Jack followed.
When he caught up to Will he said. "You stole my trick, mate." He smiled. "What exactly did you say?"
"Nothing." But Will's smile gave him away. However Jack decided not to pursue it.
"Let's get going before the guards' catch on."
"That's going to be very difficult." Said a cold and familiar voice from behind them. "Jack Sparrow. I was sure that you'd never show your face here again."
"That's Captain Jack Sparrow." Muttered Jack.
"And Will Turner. Here you are trying to steal a ship."
"Commandeer." Jack muttered again.
"I'm afraid you've crossed the line one to many times. I'll be arresting you both now."
Will drew his sword. "And I'm afraid you won't be." He glanced at Jack.
"Oh right." Said Jack as he too drew his sword.
"You were quite the fool to come here alone." Said Will. "Now you must walk the plank." He said in his best pirate voice, which as Jack noticed, needed some work.
"You can't do this to me!" said Norrington as he walked toward the plank. "You'll be sorry!" Then he turned to Will, looked him straight in the eye. "You'll regret this."
"Oh please." Said Jack. "The docks not to far away. You'll just need to swim a little."
Norrington was still looking at Will. "You'll never find her without me." Will gasped, Jack's eyes widened, and Norrington looked very pleased with himself.
"How do you know where she is?" said Will fiercely.
"I had her kidnapped." He replied.
"Wow. He must be even more drunk than me. What moron would admit to that?" Jack said.
"You're taking us to her! Now!" commanded Will.
"Of course." His tone was very reluctant and slightly frightened.
"We need to tie you up so you don't do anything stupid." Said Will and as he did so Jack thought 'He could be captain a this rate. I wish he'd stop giving orders.' Then he laughed to himself. 'We're in my element now. He won't last long. I just have to be patient.'
In other words Jack was tired of following orders and was sure that Will would not know what to do once they got out to sea. He hadn't had a clue on their last adventure.

The man had sat with Elizabeth for a long time. He had no way of knowing how long because there were no windows in this room.
He was in a lot of pain. A lot more than Elizabeth. He knew he would die soon and he hoped the other pirates wouldn't notice what he had done. He would not be in trouble because by then he'd be dead, but there were other consequences.
