I do not own potc
To all that read this I am sooooooooooo sorry it has taken me so long to update, I give you all permission to beat me. Thanks for all your reviews, here you go:
Jack glanced blearily over at Will, both had lost the formality of glasses and both clutched near empty bottled of whiskey in their hands.
"This stuff's alright." he slurred heavily holding the bottle close to his face so that he could focus on it. Will didn't answer only made some sort of noise. Jack glanced up at his drunk friend and laughed as the blacksmith tipped over on the floor. For some unknown reason they were both sitting cross legged on the thick beige carpet, Will wearing a maids bonnet lopsided on his head.
"Liz is going to kill me." Will muttered pulling himself upright, Jack waved an unsteady hand in the air,
"At least you wont feel anything." they both buckled in laughter and Will made a half hearted attempt to stand up. Giving up he slumped back down and began to sing, a low and droning attempt at a pirate song.
"That's God awful Will," Jack covered his ears and glanced up as Elizabeth entered.
"Lizabeth!" he held up his bottle, "Congratulations." Will turned aswell and copied Jack by holding up his bottle.
"We're having a baby Liz!" he slurred.
Her unamused face sobered them somewhat as she stared at them, laying on the floor, Elspeths maid apron discarded beside Jack, obviously worn at some point and Will, wearing her bonnet. She scowled ignoring there rambling about having a baby.
"Get off the floor." she scolded, "Commodore Norrington is on his way here right now with news of that girl," she snorted as Jack made a feeble attempt at getting to his feet, "perhaps you both would be better waiting upstairs." he bend down and tried to help pick Jack up.
"No!" Will cried reaching out to his wife, "Don't strain yourself Lizzy."
"Its not good in your condition." Jack added wagging a drunken finger in her direction. Sighing Elizabeth gave in and grinned at the pair.
"Get up, we'll talk about this in the morning."

Sasha nursed her bruised shoulder from the damp cold cells of Port Royal. Her smart mouth had earned her a harsh beating, blood caked her temple and pain washed through her arm. Tomorrow apparently. Midday. She was to hang. The mere thought terrified her, sending shivers through her body and clouding her mind with thoughts of death. She sighed and rubbed her eyes.
"Curse you lot." she muttered.
"What's that, girl?"
"I said curse you lot." she repeated levelling her gaze with the guard on duty. He sniggered and came close to the bars.
"You watch your mouth or I'll cut your tongue out." he laughed as Sasha picked up the toilet pan and hurled it against the bars.
"Miserable fucker." she spat feeling over washed with self pity, it wasn't fair that she was here. She wasn't a murderer, she wasn't really a bad person yet she would die at the amusement of all the towns people and probably the couple she had politely robbed. Jack's friends. She frowned and turned to the guard forgetting his nasty comment.
"How'd Jack Sparrow meet the Turners?" she didn't really care or not if he answered, it wouldn't benefit her impending death but at least it might lighten her miserable mood. The guard smiled coldly.
"Saved the young Miss Swan, now Mrs Turner." he grinned, "It's a long story, you'll probably be dead by the time I finish it." Sasha scowled and stabbed a finger at him.
"I hope you rot in hell."
"If I do, it'll be a long time after you do lass."

Morning came far too quickly for Sasha. She stood now, wrists tied as a guard wiped the dried blood from her face.
"Don't want the people to think we've abused you." he sniggered and Sasha threw him a withering look. This was it, she took in a deep breath as they lead her out into the courtyard. She held her head high and avoided eye contact with any of the people that had come to watch her hang. She had never felt so scared in her whole life yet she refused point blank to show it.
"Tricky situation this one, love." her head snapped to the left to catch Jack walking beside her through the crowds, head bowed to avoid being noticed.
"I've been in worse," she lied offering him a wide grin and receiving one back.
"Are you going to help me or watch me?" she stopped walking as the guard halted her oblivious to her hushed conversation with the pirate hiding in the crowds.
"Where's the fun in watching you hang?" his mouth twitched in a half smile and he held her gaze with smouldering eyes. "But I'd never do something for nothing so unless you've got something to offer me then I'll just give you a wave when they drop you."
"I'll make it worth you while." she was grabbed by the arm as the guard tried to haul her towards the gallows.
"I'm listening." he wove through the people that jeered her and Sasha pulled away from her guard briefly to lunge at Jack.
"Gabriel's Tears." she whispered in his ear before she was dragged away. Jack stood motionless mouth hanging open in complete disbelief, watching as she threw him a mischievous grin over her shoulder.
And so he was torn. By watching her hang he would keep his pardon with Norry and in doing so lose the opportunity to gain the best treasure of all, but if he saved her he would lose his pardon, disappoint Will and Elizabeth and risk her just telling him lies about her possession of Gabriel's Tears.
Growling under his breath he pulled a dragger from his belt and scurried closer to the gallows. Mistake or not Jack was far too selfish to risk losing such a treasure. He eyed the guards, not many compared to the amount that had showed when it was his hanging. Sasha stood as they put the noose round her neck, she watched him, the smallest of smiles settled over her mouth. Reaching the foot of the gallows he waited until the guards eyes had wandered away before throwing the dagger. She caught it in her bound hand sand immediately raised it above her, sawing the noose in record time. A commotion broke out and people began to cry out as she scrambled from the gallows, Jack tried in vein to keep her in his sights as she darted through the crowd.
"Jack Sparrow!" Norrington bellowed and Jack turned to meet the commodores enraged eyes. Grinning he pulled off his hat in a mocking bow before darting off in the general direction of the girl.

Sasha was breathing hard as she hid amongst the crates and empty barrels of the docks. She had no intention of waiting on Sparrow and as her eyes rested on a ship preparing to set sail, she saw her way out.
