"You bloody lied to me!" Gabe yelled at Elizabeth. Gabe released his hand from her mouth.

"What are you talking about?" Elizabeth said.

"Don't lie Elizabeth, especially not to me! That is Captain Jack Sparrow, a well known pirate!"

"How did you find out?" Elizabeth asked, her voice whispered.

"In a bloody newspaper! It was an article about the pirate problem in the Caribbean and I read it! And their was a portrait of him! Now why did you lie!"

"I did not lie to hurt you! I lied to protect both you and Claire!" Elizabeth said.

"From what? You are married to Captain Jack Sparrow of the Black Pearl he is a criminal!" Gabe said in a hushed voice.

"He is who you say. But there is more to it than that."

"Is everything a lie then? Are you even married? What about your servants?"

"We have been married for almost three years, one of the servants is the first mate of the Pearl, and the other is Jasper Sparrow, Jack's brother."

"And what are you a pirates whore then?" Gabe said brazenly. Elizabeth let her hand slap across his face.

"I am no whore you pig!" Elizabeth then walked past him and sat on the bed, tears slide down her face. Gabe looked at her and felt sorry, he didn't mean to say that.

"I am sorry Elizabeth, I didn't mean to say that. I just don't understand." He sat down next to her.

"Well then let me explain, four years ago my fiancé Will Turner died. My father wished for me to wed James Norrington, so I left and ran right into Jack so to speak. He trained me to be a pirate…"

Gabe interrupted her, "I have heard the stories Elizabeth…so you are the Mistress of the Black Pearl that every man talks about. She is as beautiful as she is deadly, you are supposed to be better than most men."

"I am. I assume you know most of the story."

"Yes, last I heard was that you had been in a accident and you were with child and had died, but seeing as you are here…that must mean there is a story."

"Yes, I was picked up by the Battalion. Captain Henry Hailey tormented and went as far as to rape me…" Elizabeth struggled to maintain to her composure. "Later I came to find that wasn't his name…his real name is Earl Henry Harrington of Kent."

"Can't be, I know the man."

"No you don't, I saw him when you were in the halls with him. That is the same man Gabe!"

"So what are you going to do?"

"We came here to put an end to my suffering…"

"So your plans are to murder him?"

"Yes."

"How?"

"The masquerade ball."

"What about Claire?"

"She does not need to know."

"I agree…is there anything I can do to help?" Gabe asked taking her hand.

"Yes, there is…" Elizabeth then took him by the hand and took him downstairs to the study where Jack, Jasper, and Jacob were all chatting, all went silent when Gabe entered the room.

"Jack he knows." Elizabeth said shutting the door. "He wants to help."

"Well then…let's begin."
