Jack looked up. He dropped the pin he trying to use to unlock himself from his chains. "Elizabeth... is that you?"
Elizabeth nodded as a huge smile split onto her face and as tears of joy came to her eyes.
Jack struugled. "I would get up, but I'm in a bit of a predicament, love," he said.
Elizabeth knelt to his eye level. "I thought you were dead!" Jack gave her a look. "Of course you did!" he muttered bitterly. "You're the one who chained me to that blasted boat in the first place!"
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Jack," Elizabeth said, sincerely. "I don't know what went through my head... it's just... I was really mad that you left the Pearl to be eaten by the Kraken at first-"
"But I came back, didn't I?" Jack exclaimed.
"Let me finish!" Elizabeth said. "And I really didn't mean what I said. I regret it sooooo much now, you have no idea... the truth is..." Elzabeth hesitated. Here we go! she thought... "I-I- I love you, Jack, and I really ment that kiss, and I can't tell you what a mess I'm in! Will saw us, and-"
"Look, darling," Jack said. "I would love to here the end of your little romance with Will, but my body's being crushed by these metal chains. Be a dear, and try to swipe the keys off the guard. Please."
Elizabeth made a what-does-he-take-me-for face, got up, and left. Jack slumped. "Perfect!" he said. "Lost the only chance of being free, and lost the love of my life."
He tried to clap his hands, but then he remembered they were chained.
Elizabeth ran along the prison corridor. "What kind of woman does he take me for?" she asked herself. She was about to go home, but she thought of Jack. How he risked his life for her, how he charmed his way into her heart. It was right for him to interupt her, the man was sufficating under those bloody chains! She ran up to the guard, bumped him, swiping his keys off him in the progress, and ran back to his cell, and unlocked him.
"That's one problem solved," said Jack. "But now I need the key to unlock these chains."
Elizabeth took the pin that lay beside Jack's hand, and picked the lock open. It opened with a click. The chains fell off of Jack, and he got up without hesitation.
Jack didn't expect what was coming next. As soon as he got up, Elizabeth flew into his arms, almost knocking him back over, and she kissed him.
Jack had forgotten what a kiss from Elizabeth was like. Jack wished that moment never ended, but then the both of them heard footsteps approach.
Elizabeth, still in Jack's arms turned to see eho it was... It was Will.
