Elizabeth banged hardly on the door out onto the deck. We had been locked inside the captain's cabin, while Norrington, his men and Jack rowed out to ambush the pirates at the Isle De Muerta.
Cursing, Elizabeth struck the door then gasped in pain as her knuckles became both red and raw.
Having lost our gowns, Liz and I were now dressed in oversized breeches and shirts, that until recently belonged to the crew.
"It's hopeless." I muttered, slumping to the floor.
"Wait!" Elizabeth whirled from the door to face me. "I have an idea!"
"Oh no." I mumbled, my head in my hands. "I'm sorry, Will."
Elizabeth ignored me and went over to the bed, stripping off the sheets.
"What are you doing?" I asked as I watched my elder sister tear the sheets into long strips.
"You'll see. Now help me tie these strips together." She said, tossing a few to me.
"Heave ho, heave ho." Elizabeth chanted as we rowed towards the Black Pearl.
Having escaped from the Dauntless with the makeshift rope we made, we were well on our way towards the Pearl.
Finally, I thought, as Liz and I drew up beside the beautiful black ship.
"We have to save the crew." Elizabeth whispered and, after checking the coast was clear, lead the way to the brig.
On the way, a skeleton monkey jumped down from the roof, causing Elizabeth to slap a hand over my mouth to stifle my scream. Elizabeth frowned at the monkey and smacked it over the rail of the ship.
"What was that?" I whispered sharply.
"Jack the Monkey."
I didn't have time to reply, because Elizabeth was already dragging me towards the brig.
"It's Miss Annie and Miss Elizabeth!" Gibbs declared as we came into view.
"We have to get you out of here." I gasped, running towards the Iron enclosure.
5 minutes later, we were crouched behind a life boat, waiting for the opportune moment when the skeletons (EW!!) would fall into our trap.
A few seconds later, the skeletons came into view and we let go of the boat, swinging it into the pirates, knocking them off the ship.
The crew, Elizabeth and I erupted in triumphant cheer, before Liz and I grabbed hold of the row boat to launch into the water.
"Will is on that Island and we must save him." Elizabeth exclaimed, tugging on the rope of the boat. "Ready and heave."
I turned around to stare at the gloomy crew, who hadn't moved a muscle. "Will you not help us?" I asked, wide-eyed and confused.
"I'm sorry Miss Annie, but we've already got the ship and we have to keep to the code." Gibbs replied, apologetically.
"TO HELL WITH THE BLOODY CODE!!" I screamed, the blood boiling in my veins. "You're pirates for god sakes , since when do you follow the rules?!"
"Will you come with us or not?" Elizabeth demanded.
Not long later Elizabeth and I were in the row boat by ourselves.
"Bloody pirates." Liz mumbled.
