Elissa wanted to get away. So as she had done countless nights before, back in England, she snuck out of the house. She wasn't sure where the local bar was so she followed her nose and ears.
They led her to a tavern called The Doubtful Maiden. Odd name, she thought as she pushed open the door. It wasn't really that loud but she heard a dull rumble which would signify many people talking.
The smell of rum hit her nose. But this was no bar, not really. She'd have no fun tonight.' So much for the dress.' She thought, looking down at her cleveage.
Elissa was wearing a very low cut, beautiful wine colored dress. It looked like her normal rich girl dress, only naughtier. She'd planned on finding a rilley bar, getting drunk, and seducing some man inot bed. Yes, she was a bad girl but she couldn't care less.
"What'll it be Miss?" The fat, scruffy looking bartender asked her. Elissa sat down on a stool and sighed. " One please. And no, I don't want it watered down, I want it straight. Jsut because I'm a female doesn't mean I drink like one." The bartender arched his brows at her, frowned but got her one mug of rum.
Elissa picked it up, went to gulp most of it down at once like she normally did, and choked. Rum spewed everywhere within range in front of her. She heard the bartender chuckle. Scowling, then looking strangely amazed at the mug, she asked " What's in this?" The bartender continued to chuckle. " I suppose you just ain't used to the rum down here. I 'eard tell you was just up from England. The rum down 'ere is a wee bit stronger than up there." Elissa's eyes were wide with understanding. This stuff was strong. Very strong. 'Oh well, the stronger the better!' Elissa thought as she proceeded to gulp the rest down, with some diffculty and alot of burning in her throat.
After her third mug, she stumbled out, leaving the bartender a generous tip just because the rum had been so good. Laughing, she staggered out the door and down the alleyway, ran into a wall and slumped down, passed out like a rock.
Jack smiled. This girl was asking for it. Just lucky she wasn't like this in Tortuga. He bent down and poked her arm, then shook her jsut to make sure she was out. There was no doubt.
All of a sudden, Jack got an idea. A great idea. He would take Elissa. She was Will's daughter after all. What an brilliant way to get back at him. He hadn't thought of taking anything of his but the oppertunity was to good to pass up.
So, smirking, he scooped Elissa up, blew a strand of her unruly black locks out of his face, and carried her back into the tavern so he could write dear William a little message. He then gave instructions to the bartender to give it to Will and carried Elissa through town and down to his lovely ship, the Black Pearl.
