Chapter 4 Escape
"Is it the Pearl?" Cass asked almost knowing the answer. They both got up, and Jack looked through the bars. " Yea it is, he replied.
Cass then heard the other Pirates telling Jack the stories of the Pearl. But she was rummaging through her many pockets, "Ah" she found what she was looking for her knife with Egyptian hieroglyphics carved on it, she flipped it open, lucky the Red Coats didn't check her for stuff since they were so nervous. She then proceeded to start picking the lock. " What are ye doin?" Jack asked. "Trying to get the hell outta here!" Just then another cannon fire came very close. "Duck Cass!" Jack shouted right as a cannonball came flying into the jail.
"My sympathies friend-You've no manner of luck at all"
Cass got the fuzz out of her mind then looked around, the other prisoners escaped and Jack was still in his cell looking out. She patted off the dust and rubble and noticed her one cell wall was not there any more. She grabbed her knife and went to Jack's cell "Hey Jack are you all right? " Jack turned around and jumped a little when he saw Cassandra right at his door. "I'm fine.." Now that he got a closer look at the girl he took in her features, long raven hair with crimson streaks in it, Green eyes, a ring in the left side of her nose and in the middle of her lip.. (interesting), he thought "Look I'm going to try to get you outta here" Cass she knew she shouldn't and let things take the course with Jack, Will and Elizabeth, but she had to try, she couldn't just leave him. With that she started to pick the lock with her knife. "Why ye doing this? "Because I know about you and you are a good man plus your not that bad on the eyes." She said without even looking up from her task . Jack smirked at her boldness he couldn't help but to be curious about this woman that now befriended him, that kind of kindness was hard to come by in this era.
"This ain't the armory!" Jack and Cass's head both turn in unison to the voice, Before Cass can ask Jack puts a hand on hers and she looked up her breath caught at his touch. "Get out of here now lass" Jack said his Dark eyes actually serious "Why." "Just go forget about me if what you say is true 'Ol Jack can get out" "if I get me Pearl back meet me in Tortuga." But I don't know how to get there!' Cassandra stated " Go to Madame Lourina's place its not to far from 'ere she'll help you out tell 'er I sent ye. Now get out!" Cassandra nodded but handed him her knife. "keep it, it might come in handy." Jack nodded and Cassandra headed out thought the hole the other prisoners escaped from. Jack then looked at the knife ,a cross but an oval like shape on top of it, a cat figure, and a jackal standing up were carved into, on the other side many symbols he couldn't make out were on it. He stuffed it into his boot for safe keeping, waiting for Twigg and Koehler to come and they did and Jack proceeded to find out that there was in fact a curse.
