Renee lay on her bed, trying to relax, to sleep. It just wasn't possible. Her face was sticky from newly fallen tears, and her body just wouldn't become any less tense. She rolled over onto her side, deep in thought. Where was Jack? Was he okay? Was he alive? The thought made her shudder. Jack Sparrow…dead? It couldn't be. It just couldn't. She closed her eyes tight, squeezing out more tears. "Dear Go Jack," she whispered to herself, "Please be okay."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Deep inside the belly of the ship, far from Renee, Jack lay on the floor of a cold cell, trying to sleep. He shifted his weight a few times and leaned his head against the wall, but to no avail. He couldn't believe that, just like that, he'd been captured. Him! Captain Jack Sparrow! Most fearsome pirate in the Caribbean! It was disgraceful. Plus, now he'd be hanged. He severely doubted Will would be allowed to attend his hanging, so, who was going to help him? "There's always escaping from Port Royale's prison…" He thought to himself. "No sense worrying over it now…" He shifted onto one side and closed his eyes, but sleep wouldn't come. Instead, he saw Renee. Renee! Where was she? Her father probably had her by now. She'd be forced to marry that bloody naval officer! Jack clenched his fists at the thought, anger boiling his blood. No one was going to force HIS lass to marry an officer of the King's navy! Wait- his lass? Had he just thought of her as HIS lass? Jack sighed. It was true. Renee WAS his lass. In his eyes, anyway. Did she think of him that way? Could she possibly feel for him as he did her? He sighed and forced his eyes closed. He was giving himself a headache. Suddenly, it hit him. Renee was on board! He smacked himself in the head for not realizing it before. Quickly thrusting his hand into his pockets, he dug around for something to write on. Fortunately, he had a wrinkled piece of parchment handy. He pulled out as well a sharp rock, dark black in color. Praying that it would work, he began to write. It worked! The rock left a black line on the paper. He quickly scribbled down a note, and pushed it into a small leather pouch. Pulling out a few gold coins, he patiently waited for a cabin boy to come with his food.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Still laying on her bed trying to sleep, Renee only barely noticed the sound of her cabin door opening, and Will stepping in. It wasn't until he sat down next to her and shook her gently that she opened her eyes and acknowledged his presence.
"Yes Will?"
"Good…you're awake. Listen Renee, I'm really sorry about what I said back there. If you love Jack, that's your decision. He's a good man. I think he feels the same way."
"It's okay Will…don't worry about it. We have bigger things to worry about…Where's Jack?" Renee's voice was full of worry and fear. A smile spread over Will's face.
"He's alive, don't worry. They have him down in the cells…He told me to give you this."
Will held out a small leather pouch to Renee, who eyed it and then snatched it from his hand. She quickly opened it and pulled out a very wrinkled piece of paper. She thanked Will profusely, and then he left. With trembling hands, she unfolded the letter, and it read as follows:
Renee-
I just want you to know, I am safe. Not happy, and not to be living long, but safe. I am in the third cell, not that I think your father will be letting you visit. If things don't turn out well for me, know that I care a lot for you, and will think of you until the moment I die. I love you. Now, I have to go, as I can hear Will and the guards coming down the stairs. Love Always, Jack.
P.S.- Remember, the THIRD CELL. The guards will fall asleep around eleven. I think you get the hint.
Renee's eyes filled again with tears as she read the carefully written note over again. "I love you." Three simple words, but they seemed to mean so much more in the scratchy handwriting of Jack. She made up her mind right then and there. She would go to see Jack that night, after everyone was asleep. Until then, she had lots of time to work on a little something.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
That night, when every man on the ship had carelessly fallen asleep, Renee crept silently out of her cabin. It took her a while to pick the lock, but she managed. Sliding silently across the deck, she made her way toward the stairs. This would be the hard part. Each stair squeaked loudly, threatening to wake everyone up. Moving as lightly as she could, she made her way down one, two, three flights, until she finally mad eit to the bottom. She noticed a man stading guard and tensed, but relaxed as soon as she saw his eyes were closed and his breathing shallow. He was asleep. She tiptoed past him and into the room full of cells, grabbing the keys on her way. She counted them off. One, tow three…There! The third cell! She peered into the dark cell and could just barely make out the fitfully sleeping form of Jack. Carefully sliding the key into the lock, she opened the cell, stepped in, closed and locked it behind her.
"Jack?" She whispered, shaking him a little. "Wake up Jack!"
Jack slowly opened his eyes and looked up, his eyes widening at what he saw.
"Renee! How did you get down here? Surely they didn't let you?"
Renee giggled quietly and replied, "Of course they didn't! Now, Be quiet! You don't want them to wake up!"
"Of course not…" Jack said quietly, pulling the girl into his arms. He wasted no time in settling her back against his chest and her head on his shoulder, propping himself up against the corner. Renee didn't object, but was just content to be back with Jack. He stroked her arms gently, lulling her to sleep. As her eyes closed and her breathing steadied, he breathed deep the sweet smell of her, burying his face in her hair. And so he fell asleep, Renee wrapped tightly in his arms, in the prison on board the HMS Dauntless.
