Chapter 16 - According To The Plan.
*Juliet's POV*
I was woken up by Jack, "Juliet! We're here. Come on wake up!" I rubbed my eyes and yawned, getting out of the hammock I untied my hair I put up before I had that nap. "Jack?" I asked pushing my hair out my eyes, "we're here?" "Aye, you know the plan?" I nodded, "aye." Jack smiled at me and then heading to the deck before I put my 'effects' on, such as my hat, coat, boots, sword and knives. Seeing one of the crew's pistol next to another hammock I grabbed it and shoved it in my belt before walking out to the deck.Me and him had devised a plan. A cunning, almost flawless plan. However, if either one of us messes up there was no way of coming back out of it.
When I was on the deck I saw Gillette and two men fight with Elizabeth to get her into safety. "Coward! The Commodore ordered -" "Sorry Miss, but it's for your own safety." Gillette said rather calmly as Elizabeth was struggling against the two men uneasily guiding her into a cabin. "-I don't care! I have to tell him!" Elizabeth was screeching as I made my way over to them, "the pirates-" "they're cursed. They can not be kill." I spoke with a little bit of venom in my words standing in front of cabin, making Elizabeth stop struggling. How dare they treat Elizabeth, the new soon to be wife of the Commodore, like that. If Commodore knew I'm sure he would have a word with them. Watching Gillette walk over to me making me back up into the cabin, "he's already informed of that," he spoke with sarcasm as the two men who held Elizabeth roughing push her inside the cabin as well, "a little mermaid flopped up on deck and told him the whole story." With that he smirked and chuckled and shut the two doors, locking them from the outside while Elizabeth pounded on them and shouted something about Jack. "This is Jack Sparrow's doing!" "Elizabeth, come on we need to escape." I said looking around, "I know but how?" She asked, her voice still higher pitched from the screeching she did.
I smirked while seeing the window at the back of the cabin, "come on! Pass me those sheets and start tying them together." I said as I opened the window and catch the sheets Elizabeth threw at me. Tying them we were done within five minutes.
"Ready?" I asked as I tied the makeshift rope to a hook near the window, I looked over at Elizabeth and she nodded, "ready." I smiled and climbed out the window and slid down the sheets, "Elizabeth!" I said quietly but loud enough for her to hear, and on cue Elizabeth started to slid down the sheets as well right next to me in the water. "Now head over to the Pearl. You'll find Mr. Gibbs and the crew in the brig. Free them with these." I said reaching into my inside coat pocket and took out the keys I had stolen when me and Jack were locked in the Pearl's cells a few days ago. "Be careful though, I'm almost certain Barbossa would have made two crew members stay on board incase something happens. Then met me and Jack in the caves and then you can get Will back, savvy?" I said unaware I had just said 'savvy'. Elizabeth frowned, making me frown. "What's wrong, Liz?" I asked, "you just said savvy. You're becoming pirate June. And even I can see it. I'm afraid that you're going to leave and forget about me" I sighed and hugged her, "no matter what Elizabeth Swann. I will never forget about you. Or anything back at home." I whispered in her ear before pulling away, giving her a smile and swim off to where Jack should be waiting for me.
***
Diving under water I swam past the other half of the crew that were waiting for the pirates to come out, what a nasty surprise they'll have when they find out what me and Jack are up to.
I finally past them and resurfaced behind a rock to make sure my location stayed unnoticed, gasping for air I saw Jack a few kilometers away from me. Smiling I dived under again, planning to scare him. "Boo!" I said loudly making him jump then turn and face me. "There you are." He said his voice a little shaken from where he jumped making me laugh as I climbed into the boat. "Come on we need to go." I hushed my laughter and helped Jack roar to the shore. "You should have seen your face Jack."
