(A/N) One more after this one!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POTC!

"Make sure you search the lass, she's feisty." Elizabeth was searched and both her and Jack were removed of all weapons, their affects were hung on a hook across the room.

"Lovely accommodations I think…" Taylor said to Elizabeth as he locked the cell with her and Jack in it, Jack was still unconscious.

"Really lovely." Elizabeth said with sarcastically as she gripped the bars with her hands. "What is your purpose for us here…honestly I do not know."

"Jack sunk my ship about eleven years ago…first time I caught him off guard today, now I shall see him sink."

"What does that have to do with me?"

"Well my assumption is you know everything he does, you are as good or even better than he is. Two birds with one stone. I wouldn't want an angry lass, after me, they are the worst kind." Taylor then walked out of the brig.

Elizabeth then sat down with her back to the wall, she was stuck in a cell, had no way to escape, had no weapon, nothing, all she had was her head. Jack was starting to wake up, so Elizabeth turned her attention to him.

"Jack?"

"Yes, luv…" Jack said as he leaned up on his elbows.

"How is your head?"

"Clear as day, however, the church bells must be ringing. Where are we luv?" Jack said rubbing his head.

"The Avenger. He let the Pearl and the crew go…"

"Based on who's orders?"

"Mine, I could not let them die Jack, we were taken off guard, and outnumbered, Taylor left them there, he left the Pearl as well. So he took us instead of slaughtering them."

"What has he told you?"

"That you sunk his ship eleven years ago, and he is planning to sink you and me…so to speak."

"Wonderful…" Jack said getting up. "Elizabeth do you have any daggers or anything that could help us escape?"

"No, they took everything…even my bloody hair pins. He said that he thought since, I was on your ship I was not a wench, that I had some intellect…that you hand picked me, that I was as good or even better than you…so he does not entirely trust me."

Jack then sat back down next to her, "Now we have plenty of time to think, if I know this bloody idiot, he is going to maroon us on an island…hopefully the same fortunes befall me as it did the last time and it is an island that was used by rumrunners, otherwise we are in a lot of trouble."

"Jack there is something that I noticed about him…he isn't a typical pirate…he sounds educated…much like me…he can't have been born and raised on the sea."

"Elizabeth, your right, he was born into a proper English family, his father squandered the family fortune on the drink and women, so he was orphaned by his family…when the orphanage released him when he was sixteen, he became a pirate."

"What a terrible thing to happen…"

"Not too terrible, look at the predicament we are in." Jack said with his hands in the air. The two then went silent, thinking of ways to get themselves out.

"Jack…before we left the Pearl, I asked you something…and you didn't answer me." Jack was dreading this, he hoped she forgot.

"Is it true Jack? Are you in love with me?" Elizabeth asked not wanting to look into his eyes.

"Elizabeth…I won't lie to you…I do, I love you, I think you are the most beautiful, clever, strong women I have met. I have thought that way since the time we were stuck on that island. I put it out of my mind because you were Will's lass…these past few months brought it back for me…I promise that I will always care for you, I will always be here for you…I am in love with you Elizabeth." Elizabeth was in shock, she didn't know how to handle it.

"Jack, I can't…give you my heart…part of it still belongs to Will, although I have feelings for you…right now…I can't act on it." It was a truthful answer, she wasn't ready.

"Fair enough, luv. I'll wait for you." Elizabeth smiled at him and leaned against his shoulder. Silence once again swept the cell.

"Jack I have an idea, what if I were to use my charm…to at least get me out of here and then when I get on deck, figure something out…"

"Full of holes…your plan."

"Do you have any other idea's?"

"No, but it is too dangerous, this man is scary, one minute he's your best friend the next he is your worst enemy."

"I can handle him."

"Elizabeth, I don't want you to go out there."

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. Just watch." Elizabeth then got up and hollered for a guard.

"What do you want?" The pirate said.

"Well, sir, I am a lady, and would like to freshen up."

"No."

"But sir, I would like to meet with your Captain, and I think he would be more than happy to oblige."

"Aye, he would. Alright, but I don't want no funny business."

"I swear…" Elizabeth said as she held up her right hand, behind her Jack noticed she had her fingers crossed. The guard then opened the cell and let her out, she gave Jack a wink before she went out the stairs.

"This should be interesting." Jack said to himself.
