Sarah sat miserably in her cell. "I though the agreement was me for Isla de
Muerta," She said to herself as she slumped against a cell wall. "So why
would I still be stuck here on this ship?" Unless Meris was cheating Jack
in their deal she couldn't think of another reason. If only she could
escape and somehow get on board the Flier or to the caves of Isla de Muerta
and somehow be able to signal that she was safe. "But how?" She looked over
at the door still feeling miserable.
"Wait a minute," She said aloud as she crept over to the door for further inspection. The padlock on the door wasn't closed and carefully removing it she quietly pushed the door open. "I wonder if Henry did that on purpose?" She asked herself before shrugging and slowly heading up the corridor, hoping all of Meris's men had gone ashore. She slipped above, holding her breath.
The deck was empty and she breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward. Her foot connected with a bucket, sending it flying. It rattled and rolled a short way down the deck. Then, from her left a pirate began advancing, sword in hand. Another appeared on her right, clutching a hatchet. She glanced left, then right, then straight ahead, looking for a place to run. Straight ahead of her was the plank.
Without thinking twice she began to run forward, towards it and behind her she heard a crash as the two pirates collided with each other. She ran onto the plank and it wavered up and down. She peered over the edge at the inky black water, which was a long way down. But after glancing back over her shoulder at the two pirates who had recovered and were now advancing, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes and jumped.
She hit the cold water and immediately began sinking. Her thoughts went straight to her dress - it was too heavy and was dragging her under. Sarah struggled with it for a while but couldn't undo the buttons. Fighting hard she tried to swim upward. She could see the moonlight and fought her way towards it. Losing air and energy she began to sink again. Luckily for her, right at that moment a hand reached below the water and grabbed hers.
As Henry pulled Sarah into his rowboat she gasped for breath. Sitting, dripping wet, in the boat she stared at him for a moment. "You knew I was going to try and escape," She stated as she tried to wring her hair out and Henry nodded. "I was wondering how long you were going to take," He said with a little bit of a smile. Sarah smiled back as she picked up the spare oar. "Come on," She said and they began to row towards the caves.
As the boat came to a stop they quickly and quietly climbed out and hurried up a tunnel. The tunnel led them to a perfect hiding spot with a good view of the main cave with all of its treasure. The view though was a shock to the both of them as they witnessed Meris and his men fighting Jack, Will and their men. Sarah could only watch in shock and amazement as Jack stepped backward into a shaft of moonlight and morphed into a skeleton.
