Chapter 2: The escape
"Where did you get that?" Jack said holding Elizabeth's medallion.
Elizabeth sat up in a cold sweat. She was dreaming.
"I have to save Jack."
She looked over at Will, who was still sleeping, and quietly got out of bed. She changed out of her nightclothes and put on some regular clothes. Before leaving, Elizabeth grabbed the letter and stuffed it in her coat pocket. Just as she was about to go out the door, she went back to Will's side and kissed him lightly on the forehead.
The night air was cool, and the fresh salty breezes felt refreshing. Elizabeth hurriedly rushed over to the docks, where she was told to meet Jack's crew in the letter. When she arrived, she was surprised to see that no one was there.
"Bloody pirates." she mumbled to herself. When she was just about to give up and return home, she heard a familiar voice.
"Elizabeth! Over here!"
"Mr. Gibbs!" Elizabeth ran towards the infamous Black Pearl that she once had feared. They helped her onto the ship and brought her down into one of the cabins.
"Where's Will?" Gibbs asked.
Elizabeth hesitated slightly. She didn't want to tell Gibbs the truth; what would he think of Will then?
"He-he was busy. He had to start work on some swords for the King's navy."
"Sorry he couldn't join us. But, at least you're here!"
"So, where is Jack, anyhow?"
"Well, we was in Tortuga, getting' our monthly supply, and there was a raid. Well, they threatened our crew, and then they took em'."
"Who exactly are we talking about? I mean, who took Jack?"
"You won't believe it - it was a whole crew of lasses!"
"A crew of women? I don't believe it!"
"Ole' Jack never could resist a woman. There was at least 100 of em'. Anyways, they're on their way to an island not far from here. We've been followin' em'."
"So, what's your plan of rescue?"
"That's where you come in. You're going to disguise yourself as one of the women on the island and rescue 'im."
"One question. Does Jack know he's in trouble?"
"No. Not a clue. Jack's a pretty smart lad, but when it comes to women, he's the most naïve man in the world."
Elizabeth chuckled and followed Gibbs out of the cabin.
"We should reach the island by tomorrow night; that's when we'll attack."
"Where did you get that?" Jack said holding Elizabeth's medallion.
