A/N: My apologies for the long wait! My computer has been having problems! Well without further ado here's Chappie 6!

We were crossing my yard within minutes. My heart raced in anticipation. I wasn't expecting to be back to this hellish place so soon and who knew what was going to happen next. Though I was mentally loosing I tried to keep a calm mask plastered on my face.

" Ah are ya nervous luv?" Jack questioned surveying me.

I shook my head in a lie. I didn't want him to think I was weak.

" You don't have to come in if you'd rather not. You can simply go up o your room and fake innocence to this whole night."

Alarm sparked within. Was he going to leave me? After I'd set him free? I think not!

" Excuse me but I believe that I just saved you." I began trying to word my request the best way I possibly could. " I should be entitled to some type of reward, don't you think?"

A mischievous look crossed his face and I immediately regretted my words.

" Why Isabella I had no idea that you were that type of girl." Jack said smirking. " And believe me when I say that it would be a mutual reward. "

" Heavens no!" I exclaimed. " I-I simply would like to be free of this place once and for all."

" And how can I, Captain Jack Sparrow, help you with that dear Bella?" He asked. " Unless you'd like to runaway with me, who is still in fact a complete stranger, sail the sea, pillage, murder, steal, and worse. In other words you'd be becoming a pirate and joining my crew. But a high society lady such as yourself wouldn't want to do that would you?"

My heart soared as thoughts formed in my head of my possible future life.

" How big is your crew?" I asked out of curiosity.

" Well if you joined I'd have two." He explained stopping in front of the main entrance.

" Me and you?" I asked. Alone. I began assessing the idea of being alone with Jack. True what did I know of him. We'd only met today. But there was something about him. Something buried beneath his mysterious dark eyes that made me trust him. And if I was wrong it would still be far better than being stuck in Destile.

" Yup." He replied. " So what do you say luv?"

" Yes I'd love to go!"I spluttered quickly. Blush crept into my cheeks in embarrassment. Jack however seemed delighted. Perhaps he was just happy to be gaining a companion.

" Excellent." He grinned. " Well shall we?" He fiddled with the lock for a moment then quietly pushed the massive doors open.

My home was dimly lit by candles. It was all to familiar yet soon it would be left behind along with my past. I'd be embracing a new life with Jack.

" Lead the way." My captain whispered to me.

I obliged being carefully silent as we ascended the stairs. My father's room was at the very end of the corridor. I hadn't really been there many times but I knew that it was always opposite his office. I was surprised that no guards were present. Even on normal days Father made sure our house was patrolled throughout the night. Where were they all? I made sure that my hand was on my sword just in case.

" There." I nodded to the last door on the left.

Jack walked in front of me to preform whatever trick he did on the main doors. A few seconds later he eased it open.

Pitch darkness was all that could be seen as we slipped in. I was wondering how we were going to be able to find my father in this when several things occurred simultaneously. A man shouted out jubilantly, the door slammed shut, and lights turned on. Now thanks to the illumination I could see that Jack and I were undoubtedly surrounded.

" Thought I was a fool did you!" My father said looking from me to Jack smiling like a delighted child who just got his way from his parents. " I knew you would go save him daughter. You were always disobedient and idealist like your mother was. Unfortunately you have taken it too far this time. Apprehend them both!"

Six guards lunged at Jack and I. I unsheathed my sword with ease and heard Jack do the same behind me. I kicked the first guard back then was grabbed by another. The first guard was back on his feet as well approaching me. Mustering my strength I flung my holder over my shoulder into his friend Then turned to face Jack who had taken out the other four.

" Wow." I breathed at his accomplishment.

" Didn't expect me to be good luv?"

I opened my mouth to speak when I was tossed onto the floor. Groaning I looked up to see my Father wrestling with Jack. I felt helpless as I saw him pull out a small silver blade. No! He wasn't going to hurt him!

Instantly I was on my feet grabbing the closest object which was a rather large vase. I run over to Father and without hesitation smashed it on him. He gave a cry of pain and surprise then fell off my friend. Jack looked up in shock at me. I gave him an awkward smile and offered my hand. He took it and pulled himself up.

" Well I can't say that I was expecting that love." He laughed. " Thank you for the second time tonight. I suppose you're some type of good luck charm.

I smiled at the compliment then darted over to the trunk at the foot of the bed. The trunk that Jack had described to me on our journey here. My father had once told me when I was nine to never go into it. I now knew why. I tried my hardest to pick it up but it was incredibly heavy for such a small size.

" So you can fling grown men like they're insects but you can't lift a trunk." Jack said jokingly as he leaned down to lift the box. " Take both swords. This things going to leave me temporarily impaired."

I picked up the two swords and positioned myself before him. I didn't think that this was it for the guards.

" Where to Captain?" I asked.

I could practically feel his grin behind me.

" Down to your dock of course."

This is really it I thought as we ran back the way we came. No more restrictions, arranged marriages, or Anna! The wicked bitch stood at the top of the stairs in her night gown kissing one of father's guards. I made sure my fist made contact with her as we zoomed past. I grinned broadly as I distinctly heard the sound of her tumbling down the stairs and her lover chasing after her or us.

As soon as we exited the mansion I realized that I was right about the guards. There were at least twenty lingering on the path down to the dock were my father kept his prized vessel. I cut through them all swiftly with the double blades. I took several glances over my shoulder to make sure
that Jack was still with me. We were close now. Freedom was mine!

My Fathers boat was an odd thing. Not big enough to be a ship but not small either. It was perfect for the two of us. I nearly tripped as I ran up the steep boarding ramp. Jack was right behind me setting down the trunk and beginning to cut the thick ropes that bound the boat to the dock. In the distance I could see the guards flying down the hill. There numbers concerned me so I began helping Jack.

" Get the rest." He instructed as he adjusted the sails.

UGH! Could there honestly be anymore of the ropes!

Finally relief washed over me as I sliced through the last rope and the boat started moving forward. I collapsed on the floor exhausted from the running. We were off! Never would I have to lay eyes on miserable Destile again!

After a couple of minutes I got up and walked over to Jack who was manning the helm of the boat.

" Any ideas on where we're headed Jack?" I asked.

Jack pulled out a black box a flipped it open revealing a compass that wasn't, at least to my understanding of navigation, pointing north.

He smiled and said one word.

" Tortuga."
