"What do you mean you can't swim?" Elizabeth whispered.

"I. Can't. Swim. Happy now?" I hissed.

"Not really," Jack said.

"Learn the art of sarcasm," I hissed angrily. Can I please flame him? My nerves are already frayed, now he has to be annoying. Honestly. Elizabeth looked at me, then shook her head. Note to self : Stop saying what's on my mind. I get in trouble.

"Eureka!" I hissed.

"What now?" Jack hissed back.

"I'll scorch the ropes enough so we can escape them."

"Good plan."

"Will it work?" Elizabeth asked

"Yup!"

"Should I trust you?" Elizabeth asked curiously.

"Yup!"

"Will you stop saying "yup"?" Jack asked.

"Yup!" I grinned when Jack looked veeeeerrrrry ticked. Then I got an idea.

"Barbossa?" I called.

"What, lass?"

"You do realize what you are doing?"

"And what would that be?" Here I smiled wickedly.

"Attempting to murder a member of the Mages Council. Vengeance will be swift." I lied.

"And I'll be askin' your friend here details later."

Elizabeth went in first, then Jack, then I went. It was all I could do to not to faint. Terror of what I was doing, and hilarity at what Aurora would do to Barbossa and his crew was giving me a migraine.

I leaped carefully and prayed I wouldn't drown.

Jack and Elizabeth made sure I didn't drown until it was shallow enough that I could stand.

"That was fun, let's never do that again," I muttered darkly.

"I agree." Elizabeth replied.
