Thank you to all my reviewers!
Aww, Elizabeth found Jack. So now what's going to happen? Read to see, then review to tell me what you think about it. I'm on an updating spree before I get too busy. In the next few weeks, I might not update much, but I will do my best to try.
Chapter Three- Bloody Dog
"Lizzy," Jack whispered, "Knew you wouldn't abandon me, luv." He took hold of one of her hands reaching through the bar.
"Of course we wouldn't," Elizabeth assured him. She noted that Will was standing uncomfortably behind her. She took her hands out of the bars. "How do I get you out?" Jack nodded his head over to the crew member asleep by the cell.
"The keys. That wench over there's got the keys."
Elizabeth nodded. "Just a moment."
She turned to Will, giving him the best look she could to tell him that she was sorry. Will nodded, and Elizabeth slowly walked up to the sleeping crewman. She saw the keys that were hanging loosely in its hand. She gulped as she reached for them. The man snorted and moved slightly, making Elizabeth moved her hand back a little. She was so close to them, but was afraid that if she took them, the creature would wake up.
She heard a bark, and looked down the hall, as she saw a dog sprinting down it. She recognized it. That was the old dog from the jail in Port Royal. How that dog got here, she had no idea. She looked back the man to make sure he was still asleep, and sure enough, he was. The dog bounded down the hall, and nudged Elizabeth's hands away from the keys, taking the keys into his mouth himself, and holding them between his teeth, ran off down the other end of the hall. Elizabeth reached for him, but he was already far down the hall.
"Bloody dog," Jack snarled. He moved his hands frantically, shooing her. "Well, go after it. Get me out of here." Elizabeth nodded, hearing every word her said. She turned to take off down the hall. Will followed. They could hear the crew as she got closer to them. The dog was there. She turned the corner to see him standing next to Davy Jones, who was petting its head. She tired to call it, but it didn't respond. She got on her hands and knees, ready to crawl out and retrieve it, when Will pulled her back. He nodded over to a pool of water in the middle of the room they were standing in. Elizabeth gulped as she saw odd creatures with fangs, and limbs with strange webbed toes, and fins. They were the scariest thing Elizabeth had ever seen. She turned her attention back to the dog. She slowly crept out, grabbing a hold of its leg. The dog whined, but came back to her.
She held him down while Will pulled the keys from between his teeth. As soon as Elizabeth let go of the dog, it began to bark like mad. Jones turned to look at it. "What is it, you dumb dog?" He looked down the hall in the direction the dog was barking. "There's nothing there, you cur."
Elizabeth sprinted down the hall, and stopped at Jack's cell, fumbling idiotically with the keys. Will, becoming impatient look the keys from her, and tried key after key until, finally one unlocked it. Jack sprang out, quickly. "Couldn't of come at a better time, mate." He said to Will. "I was about to be Snapfin meat. Now show me the way out."
With Will leading the way, they made their back to the water. They each took a large breath and silently got in the water. They got back to the brig, they opened the door and carefully sneaked in, shutting it with difficulty against the water rushing in.
"Jack," Gibbs said, excitedly.
Bill unlocked the cell again, letting Barbossa and Gibbs out. "How do you suppose we get out of here?" Gibbs asked.
After a silent moment, Jack piped up, "Don't worry, mate, I've got a plan."

Elizabeth took a breath of the thin air. She struggled to hold the boat down over her head. Jack had taken a small row boat from the deck and filled it with air from the brig, before weighing it down slightly and walking on the floor of the ocean.
"Jack," Elizabeth panted. "It's getting hard to breath." With all four of them crammed underneath it, the oxygen supply was depleting fast.
"Right, well on the count of three, everyone push off the ground," Jack instructed. "One… Two…Three." Everyone pushed and the boat began to rise to the surface. They all kicked to help it reach the surface faster. When they finally reached it, they threw the boat off, and began to swim frantically towards the Sea Devil. It wasn't that far away from where they surfaces. The pirates left aboard the ship had followed the Flying Dutchman. Several ropes were thrown over the side that they each grabbed. They were pulled onto the deck.
Jack stood up immediately. "Ready the sails, heave to and make for land."
Barbossa stood next to Jack, putting his hand on his shoulder. "Jack, Jack, Jack. If you hadn't noticed, I make the orders here."
Jack scowled, but backed down. "Gents, ready the sails, head for land," Barbossa told them.
Jack stumbled to a cupboard and pulled out a bottle of rum. "Elizabeth," he said, coming back to her. "I believe you and I have to have a talk."

Jones looked at the empty cell. "You let them all get away." He shouted at Bill. "I knew you couldn't be trusted. I no longer wish for you to hold your place as part of my crew." He drew a blade, and thrashed it at Bill's throat, killing him.
He turned to another crewman. "Set free the Snapfin. Command them to find those traitors and bring them back to me."
"Aye, sir."
