As the Governor opened the door, Elizabeth jumped up from her chair. "Father, Will now are you going to tell me," she stopped dead in her tracks.
"Where's Will?"
"Elizabeth darling please calm yourself. I will explain everything. Please sit down so we can calmly talk about this."
Elizabeth took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. She needed to find out what was going on and losing her temper with her father wasn't going to help.
"Thank you Elizabeth. Now remember you must stay calm."
"Just tell me, where is Will and what it going on and I want to know NOW!"
"Jack told us that Will was in danger so the Commodore and I felt that the best way to keep Will safe was to lock him in the jail."
"You did what! Whose ridiculous idea was that, may I ask?"
"Elizabeth stay calm. He's fine and he's safe. He's locked up with guards stopping anyone from harming him."
"I can not believe that you would lock him up for his OWN protection. Wait, this was Norrington's idea wasn't it father? He's always hated Will and now he has his chance to humiliate him. How could you go along with this father?"
"Elizabeth, the Commodore is not trying to do anything to Will but protect the boy."
"I'm going to see Will right now and he WILL be going home tonight."
"NO Elizabeth, you will not even be allowed to go into the jail tonight as per my orders. I have always given you everything that you have ever wanted just please wait until morning. We will go together and figure out what the best course of action will be."
Elizabeth could see that she was not going to get what she wanted with her father. She needed to think of plan. A plan to get Will and Jack out of that jail. Their hope for escape was now resting in her hands.
"Alright father, I will do as you wish for tonight. BUT tomorrow morning we are going to the jail and we will release Will and Jack."
"Elizabeth," her father started to argue. He stopped knowing that she would just argue with him through the night, "We will continue this discussion in the morning. Goodnight dear, please get some rest."
"Goodnight Father." She said in a bitter tone as she climbed the stairs to her room. As she was walking up the stairs she thought to herself it is going to be a long and exhausting night.
"Well nice to see you Jack, you come into town to save me from some terrible doom and now I find myself not only in jail and shackled to the wall. Thanks Jack."
"Look mate, I wanted to save you from whatever or whoever is after you. I knew I risked capture but I still came. I am looking at the noose and you're looking at mar-rige'. Now I don't want to hear about you're being shackled."
"This is Norrington's work; I just know it, NORRINGTON!" Will shouted. "NORRINGTON I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME – RELEASE ME!"
After a few minutes of yelling Norrington's name, the Commodore slowly descended the steps of the prison stopping in front of Will's cell. "Get some sleep Mr. Turner; there will be no releasing you for at least this night. Your future father-in-law and I felt this was the best option for you until we figure something else out."
"At least let me out of these shackles."
"No. Seeing how you built these cells if I didn't have you in shackles to the wall, you would simply find a way for both you and Sparrow to escape."
"Captain. That's Captain Jack Sparrow." Jack said to Norrington
"Now I suggest you get some sleep, especially you Captain since it may be your last night anywhere." With that Norrington turned around and promptly left the room.
"I'm sorry Jack. It was very brave and very stupid to come to try and help me. But I thank you for trying. Will the crew try and rescue us?"
"No mate, they will keep to the code. I knew how dangerous this was gong to be so I came alone. By tomorrow night, they'll be gone." There was a sad tone in Jack's voice but he would not give up. He had given the order that they were to leave if he hadn't returned with young Turner by the following night.
Both men sat in silence, Jack thinking about the Pearl and it's crew and Will thinking about Elizabeth. Will let out a small chuckle.
"What's so funny my shackled friend?"
"I was just thinking about Elizabeth. She must have had a few choice words with her father after finding out about this. Jack. Maybe Elizabeth will try something stupid and get us out."
Jack nodded his head, "one could only hope."
Elizabeth changed into some pants and a shirt. If she was going to sneak around and rescue Will and Jack, she certainly couldn't do that in a dress. She had been waiting for at least four hours giving her father time to get into a deep sleep.
Sneaking out of the mansion was an easy task, one in which she had done many times before. What Elizabeth did not know was that a dark hooded figure watched her every move. He stepped over the two lifeless bodies of the two soldiers that had been standing at the entrance to the mansion. He was only waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
Elizabeth noticed that none of the normal guards were patrolling around the mansion. She thought it strange but dismissed it thinking they must have been moved to the jail as extra protection for her beloved Will. She kept to the shadows around the bushes in the yard and quickly moved to the gate. Just as she started to walk through the gate, someone grabbed her. She tried to fight but he was so much bigger and stronger. She wanted to scream but his hand was tightly clasped over her mouth. She felt something hit her head and darkness overcame her. Abrafro smiled, things were going quite nicely. Mami would be pleased. He pulled the vile that Tia had made out of his shirt, and then he opened Elizabeth's mouth and poured it in. She chocked a little but reflexes took over and she swallowed the liquid. Abrafro leaned Elizabeth up again the gate. He reached in and pulled out what appeared to be a blank parchment. He placed it in her hands and quickly left, it was time to go back to the boat and leave Port Royal.
