I'll Take My Chances

Chapter 6

It had been about one months since Jack Sparrow had left, and Elizabeth Swan sat at her dinning table with a book in front of her. Her father entered the room, and saw his daughter deep in thought.

"Elizabeth, you always seem to be reading books, what are they about, I do hope it is not about that stupid pirate Jack Sparrow" Her father insisted, the past few weeks that is all she talkedabout, Jack Sparrow this, and Jack Sparrow that Her father walked up to her and sat down in the chair next to her.

"Father I am not reading a book, I am writing one" She looked up at her father and they locked eyes.

"Oh, is it about Mr. Sparrow?" The question was obvious but it needed to be asked

"Yes father it is, its a romance novel, I am writing it as if he came to Port Royal" she said as though she was in a dream.

"I see, Then if that is the case then I have a surprise for you my dear"

Elizabeth smiled and followed her father. They took a carriage down the hill. They arrived at the jail, and Elizabeth wondered what was going on. They walked down the stairs, the walls had moss all over them, and the floor was damp. It was dark apart from the sunlight that was coming through the bars, and she could hear a moaning coming from an old man one of the jails, he had been there for years.

"Elizabeth, I would like you to meet... Jack Sparrow" Elizabeth looked at the first jail, it was empty, she walked along the corridor and stopped and smiled. Jack had been arrested again and was in one of the jails.

There he was lying on his back with his tri-corn hat leant over his face. There was a beam of sunlight that shun on his chest, which made Elizabeth smile, it reminded her of when he was on the beach "You can touch if you like"

"Father, may we be alone" she whispered, the governor nodded, he knew she was safe, because there was bars in between them.

"Good day Mr. Sparrow, in the brig again I see" she said whilst giggling. Jack Sparrow reached for his hat and removed it, he looked up and saw Elizabeth standing there with her beautiful dress on, one similar to the one that she wore the first day they met. He stood up and walked towards the door of the brig.

"Get me out of here Lizzie" His face looked scared. He was not scared though, it was all an act, to get her to release him.

"I can't Jack, I do not have the key... besides, what's in it for me?" she questioned with a huge smile on her face. Jack gave her a grin, and touched her lips with his two fingers.

"You can come with me" His plan was working, and she was falling for it.

"Yes, I will try and get you out. So you better keep your promises" he grinned.

"Don't worry Elizabeth, I'll make sure you enjoy yourself" He leant into the bars to try and kiss her, but she backed away, she could hear her father coming down the stairs.

"Sorry" she whispered

"Elizabeth, we must go, we have a meeting" He walked up to her and gave Jack a stern look, and dragged Elizabeth away. She looked behind and saw Jack still leaning against the bars. If only my father was not there.

Elizabeth got into the carriage and could not stop thinking of Jack. He was acting different, did I do something wrong, maybe he was just upset about being in the brig again, maybe he was scared of being hung. I have to get him out.
