Thanks for all the reviews and enjoy!
Elizabeth inwardly rolled her eyes as she flirted with the prison guard to let her see Jack. It was the only way for her to get what she wanted. If Katie refuses to do anything for Jack's freedom, then I'll have to do it myself.
"Alright, Miss Swann," said the already smitten guard. "You may see Sparrow."
Elizabeth smiled. "Thank you, I'm sure hearing news of her husband will ease my poor sister's heart."
The guard nodded and began to show Elizabeth the way. "You know this place doesn't have decent qualities for a fine woman such as yourself to be in."
"Well, I don't think this place is suitable for anyone at all."
The guard laughed. "That's true. Sparrow! Someone's here to see you," he said, going back to his post.
Jack looked at her. "I'm glad you came."
"Really?" asked Elizabeth, excitedly, moving closer, but he moved back.
"I didn't mean it that way. I need your help."
"Are you going to escape," she whispered. Jack nodded. "What can I do?"
"I need you to make a distraction, but don't do something stupid that'll get you hurt or killed."
"Do you still care about me, Jack," she said, seductively.
"I'm just afraid of what Katie might think if her sister died to save me. Don't tell Katie about any of this, by the way. I don't want her to get worried."
Elizabeth sighed and nodded. "Alright, Jack. I'll do anything for you."
Jack tempted not to roll his eyes. "Bring someone with you, too, someone who has the courage to help us escape. He has to be trust worthy. Tell me that I'll offer him a lot of money and that I'll make sure he's never caught."
"Fine, I'll see what I can do, but you'll be alright, right?" she asked, reaching for him, but he snapped at her.
"Just do what you're told and I'll be fine."
She nodded again. "When will you escape?"
Jack's look hardened. "Tonight."
"What do you mean that Sparrow is going to escape?" asked Weatherby.
Katherine sighed. "He told me he would and when he does, I'm going with him."
"But that's absurd! Besides, he's going to get hanged in two days."
"I have faith that he'll get out before then," said Katherine, quietly. "I've made up my mind and I want to go wherever he goes."
Weatherby sighed. "I'm sorry to say this, Katie, but Sparrow is irresponsible for offering you something like this."
"Why? Because it'll be a dangerous life? Because we'll have to hide from the law? I prefer that than to live apart from him."
"And if it all goes wrong? If they catch him or kill him?" he asked.
Katherine looked at down. "Then he dies trying. He'll stop suffering," she whispered sadly.
Late that night, Jack didn't know how or why, but luck was at his side. The guards for some reason weren't checking up on them nor did they hear anything. It was an eerie silence the fog began to creak from the sea, but Jack knew it was a wonderful sign. He could taste his freedom and soon he'll have Katie with him again. He and his crew looked up when a man, around his thirties ran towards their cells.
"We have to hurry," he said. "Miss Swann told me everything. I work here and sometimes bring the guards their meals. I put a drug in their drinks, so they're unconscious now."
"Where's Elizabeth?" asked Jack as Will quickly told the man to use the bench nearby as leverage.
"She's with the head guard," he grunted as he pulled the cell door open. He did the same with Jack's crew in the cell next to them.
"Thanks, how much do you want?" asked Jack.
"Enough money for it to last for a while and a ride to another port," said the man.
Jack nodded and shook his hand in agreement. He then turned to his crew, who waited for orders. "Go to the Pearl or any other ship you can find and get out of here. Make sure you're not seen. After that… stick to the code."
They all nodded and scattered, except for Mr. Gibbs, Will, and a small number of faithful men. "Leave," said Jack. "I have to get Elizabeth before something bad happens. Katie would never forgive me if something happens to her sister on my account."
Will shook his head. "I won't leave without Abby."
"We'll go wherever you go, Captain," said Mr. Gibbs.
Jack sighed. He had a loyal crew. "Then let's hurry," he said. They quickly grabbed their weapons and made their way around and to the head guard's office.
Meanwhile, Katherine and Abigail sat nervously in her bedroom. Their belongings were packed and ready to leave. They could hear thunder from far away and the wind began to change. Something was happening, involving the men that they loved. It was their night; their night of freedom. They just prayed that nothing went wrong. All of a sudden, a heavy breeze hit the bedroom window. The wind blew all the candles out, leaving them in pitch darkness.
Elizabeth stood nervously in the head guard's office as he stared at her with lust in his eyes.
"Would you like a cup of wine or brandy?" he asked.
Elizabeth shook her head. "I don't drink."
"You must know, Miss Swann, that I'm very fond of you. Since your husband has asked for your divorce, you made quiet a lot of enemies in Port Royal, especially for the reason why you're getting a divorce. Sparrow, as well," he said, getting closer.
"Who?" asked Elizabeth, getting more scared.
"It doesn't matter. I can help both of you," he said, smirking at her.
She turned to him in relief. "Really?"
The head guard nodded. "The only thing is that I'm sure you'll understand, is that I can't do anything without getting something in return."
Elizabeth panted, moving a few steps from him. "I have some jewelry."
He chuckled. "I wasn't referring to that. I want something that is worth something," he said, getting closer again. Elizabeth was sickened, feeling his breath near her neck. "I've never been with a woman of your category before, so pretty, who smells so good… Would you like that glass of wine now?"
Elizabeth nodded. "Yes, please."
Jack and the others hurried to the office. Though Elizabeth might have lied to him, it was all in the past. He was a good man. When they were outside the door they could hear Elizabeth struggling with the head guard.
Jack burst into the door. He saw the head guard, trying to take advantage of Elizabeth. "Get your hands off her!" He shouted.
The guard was shocked to see Jack there, but thought quickly. He pulled his gun out and fired a shot to his chest.
"Jack!" cried out Elizabeth, seeing him slump to the ground.
Mr. Gibbs right behind him fired at the guard, killing him instantly. Elizabeth ran to Jack's side, seeing the blood run through his shirt. He panted hard, feeling the pain through his body. He saw Elizabeth's face as he slowly slipped away into darkness, but only Katie appeared in his mind as he past out.
Carmen groaned when someone knocked on her front door. After dealing with James, she was in no mood to speak with anyone. She got up and answered the door. To her shock she saw Will and Mr. Gibbs, carrying a wounded Jack with them Elizabeth followed closely behind her, covered in Jack's blood, looking very shaken up.
"What happened?" asked Carmen, stepping aside so that they could lie him down.
"He got shot," said Will as they put him down the bed.
"Again? By who?"
"The head guard at the prison. We know it's unexpected, but do you think we could leave him here for a while. They're probably looking for us. We also need your help to cure him," said Mr. Gibbs.
Carmen sighed. She remembered back a few year ago when a man tried to take advantage of her. A you Jack Sparrow came to save her and she was forever in debt with him. "Alright, I'll see what I can do. Boil hot water and hand me a thin knife so I can take the bullet out. Get her out of here, too," she said, pointing at Elizabeth. "The last thing I need is to tend to her, as well." Will dragged a protesting Elizabeth out of the room. Carmen looked down at Jack. "Don't quit on me Jack," she whispered. "Think of your wife," she said, starting the operation.
A few hours later, they were all tiered and Carmen successfully got rid of Jack's bullet. He began a fever and now all they could do is wait. They would moisten his forehead to see if it could help bring down the fever. He would slip in and out of consciousness and luckily, they were able to make him sip some of the tea Carmen made. Elizabeth almost never left his side. The Royal Navy was immediately searching for the fugitives and they were lucky that they hadn't checked Carmen's hut. They didn't tell Katherine anything because there was no need to worry her, especially when it was this dangerous to show their faces.
Katherine and Abigail made their way downstairs, hearing the door knock. It was still late at night, but they couldn't go to sleep. They guessed it might be Jack, but why would he knock on the front door? Abigail flung the door open and they were greeted by officers of the Royal Navy. "Is Jack Sparrow here?" asked one of them.
Katherine looked at Abigail frightened. "N-No," she said, trying to shove the door shut, but they only pushed it back open.
"He escaped from prison and it's most likely that he's here. Search everywhere," he ordered.
Both women clutched onto each other afraid of what might have happened down at the prison.
"What is going on here?" asked Weatherby going down the stairs.
"They're searching for Jack, Father," explained," but he's not here!"
Out of no where, an officer rushed the mansion. "I got news that from an undisclosed source that they saw Sparrow's lifeless body being dragged out of the prison." Katherine's blood froze. "They say he's dead!"
Abigail watched in horror as her friend paled and her eyes rolled back in her head. Katherine's emotions swirled into one. Weatherby yelled as Katherine fell backwards, but he caught her just in time. Abigail fanned her friend, but it was no use. Katherine won't recover from this blow.
Thanks for reading and please review!
