"Tara!"
Jack was running after her. He was amazingly fast and Tara knew he would catch up with her. Thinking fast, she saw a wooden platform with a noose which had obviously originally been used for hanging, right in front of a wide river. Running onto the platform, she grabbed the noose and swung across the river.
Jack watched Tara, amazement and respect growing in him. Escaping by swinging on the noose... he would have to use that one. It had just the right mixture of brilliance and madness. He ran onto the platform after her and swung over too.
Tara found that she was in some more streets. Blast it, this island was ghastly. She looked around, wondering which way the sea was.
"Hey!"
She turned, expecting to see Jack, instead seeing a mean-looking man.
"Excuse me," she said, edging away.
She backed into another man.
"Hello, luv," said the man. He had curly orange hair and eerie blue eyes.
"What do you want?" asked Tara.
"All your money would be good," said the first man.
"You should be so bloody lucky," said Tara, feeling scared yet trying to hide this.
"We got us a feisty one!" laughed the blue-eyed man.
Tara thought she might faint with fear.
"Hand over your money," said the first man, pulling out a small cutlass.
"I have none," said Tara.
"Are you a pirate?" asked the second man.
"Aye," said Tara, wondering where he was going with this.
"Who do ye sail with?" asked the first man.
"J-J-Jack Sparrow," stammered Tara.
This made them both laugh.
"Just hand over the money," said the second man.
The first man stuck his cutlass closer to Tara, so that the cold steel was pressing into her neck.
"That's not very nice."
The first man turned to see Captain Jack Sparrow, who promptly whacked him around the face with what looked suspiciously like a branch from a tree. The second man reached for Tara, who kicked him in the gut and ran back to the Pearl, leaving a very confused Jack standing looking at her fleeing back.
"Women," he muttered, hitting the second man with what was indeed a branch.
He decided to follow her. She might try to kill herself again.
