But she didn't even have to come up with a plan this time, to run away.Though the guards were awake in front of her inn door, she heard a rock bouncing off her window.
Tom, soaking wet.
So, Hope thought, he just jumped into the ocean and sawm to shore when we were close enough to the harbor.
She opened her window, and Tom threw a rope end up to her. She tied it to her bed, and slid down it. Tom looked like at first he wanted to go help her to the ground, but then retreated as she came.
"Thank you." muttered Hope.
"Nothing at all." said Tom, smiling. then his smile faded. "Oh...and I have some bad news for you, lass."
"What?" the little girl asked with alarm.
"Your folks....I heard that they were drowned in a storm...the whole Black Pearl went under."he said gravely.
"What?...no...that can't be.They'll come for me.They have to.They are pirates, they wouldn't die in a stupid little storm!" Hope was devestated.She felt the tears spring from her eyes, and she wanted to scream.
"Don't worry, lass, do you still have those rings?"Tom asked in such an unbelievably calm manner that it made Hope want to hit him.
"Yes!" she yelled at him, then looked around to see if there were any people watching, and pulled him into an alleyway, just to be safe.
"Then you can bring them back."

Barbossa woke up from an empty, dreamless sleep, as he felt someone tap him on the shoulder. He reached for his sword immediately, and saw that it was a good idea too, since Jack stood at the foot of his bed.
"Hello, mate!" Jack said cheerfully.
"What in the hell's blazes?" the old pirate muttered."Jack! Here to trade the rings for your lass, finally?" Ha asked with fake comfort.
"No, mate.I'm here to tell you that me lass has run away to the Shadow gate. Apparently the little dear thinks me and me love are dead. That is all. I have to go after her now. The demon in that place would lure her in for sure. If any harm comes to her, you'll be the one to answer to me. Just know that. G'day!" he swaggered out the door, and when Barbossa went after him, he was nowhere to be seen.
He roused his crew and told them all to find out what the coordinates of the Shadow Gate are, he didn't care how they did it.
A little boy in the inn freely gave them the information.

Jack and Sword were in their cabin on the Pearl, and trying to figure where to go look for the Hecate, when they heard a knock on their door. It was gibbs, with something small hiding behind his back.
The boy that showed them to Barbossas supposed cabin in Tortuga.
"Stowaway. We wanted to kill 'im, but the whelp called for parlay."Gibbs said, pulling him forward.
"I just came to say...the girl you are looking for, Hope...She is on her way to the Shadow Gate." said the boy.
At that moment the two pirates' memories gave a jolt.
The boy knew what they were thinking, smiled an innocent little smile, and disappeared.
