Reese Sparrow-I fall asleep that way too! Honestly, lol, I stare at my closet and go through the movie, almost like I'm watching it in my head, and I fall asleep. I'll try to think of a new idea, but I'm just kinda worried that since the movie came out in July and it's January, no one will read a new story, but oh well, if people want me to, I will( Thanks!

PED-Sarah-Yeah, I have ideas for what to do. It definitely won't be the same as in the movie. Thanks for the review!

"Pearl? Pearl! Wake up, we have to go!" Will whispered to his daughter. He nudged her and poked her and she wouldn't wake up. That was the thing about Pearl, she was beautiful and all, but a canon couldn't wake her up.
Will sighed and nudged her harder. "Pearl! Wake up!!" He shouted.
Pearl moaned underneath the covers. "I don't want to do needlepoint today, Mother!"
Will looked at her confused, but nudged her again. "PEARL!! WAKE UP!!!"
Pearl finally woke up and saw her father standing there, not looking happy. "5 more minutes..." She groaned, putting her head under the covers again.
"Oh, no you don't!" Will, frustrated, grabbed his daughter and pulled her out of bed. Will then checked if he had his sword, dagger and cutlass. "Now, we'll have to get there quickly. Do you have your sword?" Will asked his daughter, but when he looked up at her, she wasn't there. "Pearl?" He then heard a loud noise coming from the bed, and when he looked down, he saw his daughter sleeping again.
"PEARL!!" He then thought of a plan. "Hey, Pearl! Jack's being sent to the gallows RIGHT NOW."
Pearl's eyes snapped open. She then jumped out of bed and started marching out the door. "Jack is in that jail and we must save him, what are you waiting for?!" She yelled at Will.
Will sighed. His daughter was insane. But she was right; they had to hurry if they wanted to make good time.

~*~*~*~

Lifting his pant leg, Jack examined his injured legs. They were done bleeding, but the skin around it looked red.
'Great,' he thought. 'Infection. Could me life get any worse? I lose the lass I love, I'm in jail with an infection, I'm going STRAIGHT to the gallows at dawn, what next?'
Then Jack felt his jacket and noticed a bulge in his pocket. He reached in and his eyes widened and what he found.
'Oh me word...' He thought again. 'It's...it's a flask!"
He pulled out the metal flask in his pocket (what a surprise, it was his father's jacket) and pulled off the top. When he smelled the contents of what liquid was within, he grimaced...it was rum.
'Ok, this is a sign.' He thought back to the first time he tried rum and what turned him off of the fowl drink forever.

~*~*~*~

*Flashback*

~*~*~*~

"Ok, me boy!" Jack Sparrow said to his son one day aboard the Black Pearl. "Today, you try rum!"
The 10 year old boy quivered with excitement. His first alcoholic drink! And the way his father drank it, it must've been a tasty one, too!
"Here it is, the beloved drink of all pirates. Rum!"
His father handed him a flask and little Jack stared at it with admiration and fear. He took the flask into his tiny little hands and put it up to his mouth. Tipping it, the liquid poured into his mouth. When he held as much in his mouth as possible, he swallowed the drink. Half way down, it burned his throat and caused him to choke the rest up.
"Oh, lovely, Jack! We just cleaned the deck!" His father said to him angrily.

~*~*~*~

Jack shivered and looked at his leg. 'Oh, no! Yer not gonna clean those cuts, Jack, unless ye want to die a sooner death.'
Then again, he looked down at his leg for a second time and noticed how bad it looked.
'Well, if ye actually get out of here, ye'll still 'ave yer legs intact.'
He sighed heavily and looked at his thin shirt. He used all his strength and after some time, managed to rip off a large amount of cloth. He then ripped that piece in half. He took the slightly large piece and clenched his teeth on it. Then he poured some rum on the other piece and dabbed his knee.
"MMHGAPHSEY!!!" His scream was muffled by the cloth and none of the other prisoners heard him anyway; they were all asleep.
His forehead became doused with sweat as he scrubbed away all the dried blood and dirt. Then he turned the cloth over and poured rum on that half. He did the same to the other knee.
"AHSFHOMFER!" He shouted again. When he was done, he looked at his cleaner legs and laid back. Nothing to do but possibly wait for a miracle.

~*~*~*~

"Ok, Pearl," Will whispered to his daughter. "I go in and cause a diversion. You go in and free Jack, understand?"
"Savvy." Pearl answered.
Will was about to walk in, when he turned to his daughter again.
"Wait...what did you just say?"
"Um...got it?"
Will looked at her suspiciously. "Mmm-hmm...that's all I really need is my daughter hanging around Jack Sparrow all day..."
Will went in with Pearl hiding behind him. When the coast was clear, Pearl ran to where all the prisoners were.
"Excuse me?! Help!! There are prisoners escaping! Please, help! They're attacking all the townspeople!" Will screamed.
A large, balding, angry man (who had most likely been sleeping) ran out to where Will was. He went to go check on the missing prisoners, but Will knew his plan wouldn't work if the man checked the cells and no one was gone.
"No!" He shouted. "There's no time! Let's go!"
Will ran out of the jail and in a confused state, the large man followed close behind.

~*~*~*~

"Jack!" Pearl shouted amongst the other prisoners. She looked all over, cell by cell, different men calling her over.
"G'morning, sweetness! How's about lettin' us men out?" One prisoner called over. Pearl paused and realized this job might get ugly. She reached down and pulled up the leg of her dress.
Whistles and cat calls were made up and down the row of filthy prisoners, but were soon stopped when Pearl took out the dagger that her father made her. If worse came to worse, she wouldn't hesitate to use it.
"Jack?" She whispered his name this time. Peeking into the last cell, she saw Jack, lying on a mound of hay.
"Jack!"
"Love! Ye came for me!"
"Did you think I wouldn't?"
"Well...yes..."
Pearl turned from him and looked up and down the prison walls. Then, sitting in the corner of the building, was a dirty *I wish I didn't have to say dirty, but face it, he could've been groomed*, dust colored dog, holding the keys in between his teeth.
"This couldn't have been any easier." Pearl muttered. She ripped the keys from the dog's mouth and went to place the key into the cell, but it wouldn't fit.
"Darn keys!" She went to try the others, but a hand was placed on her shoulder.
"'Ello, there, miss!" A large man said from behind. Her father was behind with a morose look on his face. By the look of things, her father was unable to keep the man outside for a while.
"Tryin' to get yer friend outta there, I see. Well, yer friend's time is up, he's goin' to the gallows and YE get a free trip to Tortuga!"
Pearl's face was stricken with fear. She was out of time. "Tortuga?"
"Aye, miss! Tortuga!" He pulled her close and whispered two deadly words in her ear. "Strumpet auctions." He pushed her away again and laughed menacingly.
"Strumpet auctions?!" Pearl shrieked.
"Yes, miss. See, they do this to lass' that have done a bad deed. They sell ye off as strumpets to a man, whether ye like the man or not." (A/N: I have NO idea if they actually did this, I doubt it, but it sounded like a cool idea)
Pearl gulped. Will tried to fight against it, but he was too filled with fear to speak. He ran out, knowing that only one person could help.

~*~*~*~

"Jack!!" He called up to the big ship.
He heard a large sigh and leaning over the side of the ship, he saw his old friend's face. "What is it, mate?!"
"Quick! Pearl...Tortuga, Jack...gallows...strumpet auction...hanging!"
"IN FULL SENTENCES, MATE!"
"Pearl tried to get Jack out, but got caught! She's being sent to Tortuga to be auctioned off as a strumpet and Jack's being hanged!"
All the blood left Jack's face. "MY SON IS BEING HANGED?!"
"My daughter is being sent to a strumpet auction!"
Jack thought for a minute. "No worries, mate. Ye save me son, I'll save yer daughter, savvy?"
Will smiled. "Savvy."
"Now, off ye go! Go save me boy!" Will ran off as fast as he could.
Jack smiled. "Good luck to ye, Will Turner and Jack Sparrow." He then looked at his wife. "Juniper, set sail! We have an appointment in Tortuga!"
