Chapter 4
A cell with Jack & an escape with Will
Norrington's guards pushed Jade all the way to the jail. [They had to carry Jack because he was still unconscious] They were both put in one cell. Jade looked at her surroundings. There was a cot on one side of the small cell. There was also a small barred window. Jade stepped up to the ledge. It had a good view of the harbor-and the sea. Jade sighed. How she wished she could be on the ocean, instead of this dirty jail. She turned to look at Jack. He was still unconscious, and had a cut on his forehead, right above his left eyebrow. Jade got down from the ledge, dragged Jack to the cot, and sat on the edge of it. She ripped a piece of her white shirt and pressed it over Jack's cut.
From the pain he winced and opened his kohl-lined eyes to meet her sea-like ones. While she cleaned his wound, he kept staring at her eyes.
"Your eyes are beautiful, luv. Just like the sea, they are." He said in wonder. Jack had never seen anyone with such wonderful eyes...
Jade smiled at him.
"I know. Everyone keeps telling me that. I suppose it comes from liking the sea so much. Ever since I can remember, I've loved the ocean," while Jade said this, her eyes sparked, and Jack thought that he saw waves in her them. "it's where you could really be free. Whenever I was on a ship, I'd go to the bow and look at the horizon.... but that never happens anymore. Ever since I was ten, when Elizabeth was born, we haven't been on another ship. I suppose it saddens my father, since my mother loved to sail...."
Jade broke off. She didn't want to talk about her mother. Jade continued to clean Jack's wound until he sat up. The blood stopped flowing, so she took the bloodied rag off his head. They didn't say anything more. Just listened to the other prisoners try to lure a dog with bones. The dog had keys in its mouth.
"You can stop doing that," said Jack in annoyance. "The doggie's never going to move."
"Oh, excuse us if we haven't resigned ourselves to the gallows just yet!" retorted one prisoner. Jack smirked and leaned against the wall of the cell.
"I just hope we can get out of here soon....hey, Jack??" Jade asked him once she saw how big the lock was, "Can I borrow your knife??"
Jack looked suspiciously at her.
"Why???"
Jade sighed and nodded her head towards the lock.
"OHHHH."
Jack threw her his dagger, she caught it and began to furiously pick the lock. But then everyone heard the sound of guns and cannons outside.
"I know those guns," Jack said as he staggered over to the window,
"It's the PEARL."
One of the prisoners stepped up to the bars separating the two cells.
"The Black Pearl?? I've heard stories...the Black Pearl doesn't leave any survivors."
Jack looked at him as if he was extremely stupid.
"No survivors?? Then where do the stories come from, I wonder?"
Jade kept on picking the lock while she said,
"Quite true, Jack."
Jack rolled his eyes.
"CAPTAIN!!"
"Oh, right. CAPTAIN Jack. Sorry 'bout that."
Then there was a loud BANG! Jack jumped down from the ledge on to the floor of the cell as a cannon crashed through the other cell. Upon escaping, one prisoner said,
"My sympathies, friends. You've no manner of luck at all!!"
And he and the others jumped out of the whole made by the cannon, which couldn't fit a head through Jack and Jade's side.
A while later, two big ugly pirates came into the jail. On coming in, one of them stated,
"This ain't the armory!!!"
The other one noticed Jack.
"Well, well, well. Look who we have here, Twigg, Captain Jack Sparrow!! Last time I saw you, you were on a godforsaken island, shrinking into the distance. His fortunes haven't improved much,"
But then he looked at Jade.
"Or maybe they have."
Jack moved in front of Jade protectively.
"Worry about your own fortunes, gentlemen. The deepest circle of hell is reserved for mutineers and betrayers."
Jade turned around just to see the pirate grab Jack's throat through the bars. His flesh turned to a skeleton in the moonlight. Jade screamed and backed up against the wall. Jack glanced at her worriedly. He continued talking to the pirate.
"So there is a curse...that's interesting..." he mused.
Twigg let go of Jack's neck.
"You know NOTHING of hell."
Jack picked up one of the bones on the floor and studied it.
"That's veeeerrrry interesting..."
Jade, once calmed down, left Jack to his thoughts and tried, once again, to pick the lock.
In the morning, Jack woke up to find Jade STILL picking the lock. 'The lass sure wants out!!!' he thought, amused. He watched her for a while. She was twisting and turning the lock almost every way imaginable.
"Please..." she was muttering. It was still locked. She groaned in frustration.
"GRRRRRRRRRR!!!! Can't-get-thing-to-unlock!!!!!!" she then tried jabbing the dagger into the lock. There was a noticeable CLICK. She turned around to find Jack staring dreamily at her.
"What're you staring at??" she asked him, blushing.
Jack shook himself.
"Nothing luv." At this, Jade looked disappointed, "How're you coming with the lock??"
"Oh, I-I think I got it." She opened the door and gave the scuffed dagger to Jack. He whistled.
"Good going, luv. Now, just let me get my effects."
"AND my sword!!" she reminded him. Jack put all of his stuff in the right places on his belt. He gave Jade her sword, and she attached it to her belt. They snuck out of the jail to the docks. On the way, they ran into Will.
"Miss Jade, Sparrow!! How'd you escape jail??"
Jade rolled her eyes.
"We have brains, Will." She turned to Jack. "Or, at least I do." She said, smiling sweetly at Jack's glare.
"Well Miss Elizabeth was taken by pirates last night. We have to rescue her!!"
Jade gasped. Not her sister!!
"OF COURSE WE'LL FIND HER!!! We have to!! Oh, no, no, no, no, no!!! Not Elizabeth!!!" Jade's aqua eyes began to moisten and she sniffled. She was trying not to cry in front of two men. (How embarrassing!!! ~*Sparrow MoNkEy*~) Will patted her shoulder.
"It's all right. We'll find her. You, Sparrow, are you familiar with a ship called the Black Pearl?"
Jack was looking at Will and Jade jealously.
"I've 'eard of it."
"Well? Where does it make berth??"
Jack looked startled.
"Where does it make berth? Have you not heard the stories??"
At Will's obvious lack of information, he started talking.
"Captain Barbossa, and his crew of miscreants, sailed to the dreaded Isle de Muerta. It's an island that cannot be found, except, by those who already know where it is."
Will kept at it.
"The ship is real enough, therefore its anchorage must be a real place. Where is it??"
Jack's interest suddenly went to his nails, which amused Jade greatly.
"Why ask me?" he asked Will suspiciously.
"Because you're a pirate." He said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
"And you want to turn pirate yourself, is that it?"
Will was fuming.
"NEVER!! As I told you before, Miss Jade's sister is missing."
Jade flashed Will an all-knowing smile. [He likes Elizabeth]
Jack also grinned at Will.
"Oh, so it IS you've found a girl. I see. Well if you're intending to brave all, hasten to her rescue and so win, fair lady's heart, you'll have to do it alone, mate. I see no profit in it for me."
Jade was purely annoyed. She HAD to save her sister!
"JACK!! Stop being so stubborn! We HAVE to save Elizabeth!! She's MY SISTER!!!"
Jack sighed.
"Fine. But only because she's YOUR sister, savvy? And Will, what's your full name?
"William Turner."
Jack's eyes widened slightly.
"I see. Good, strong name. No doubt named for your father, eh?"
"Yes."
"Aha. Well, Will, I swear on pain of death, I shall take you, and the lovely Jade to the Black Pearl, and rescue your bonny lass. Do we have an accord?"
Will thought for a split second.
"Agreed."
"Agreed. Now let's get going."
Jack grabbed Jade's hand and grinned at her. She smiled back. They headed under a dock, with Will at their heels.
