"You left me. left me to die. So I teamed up with the devil to take my revenge." She screamed, tears running down her flushed face.
"I saw your dead body! Your lifeless body! Do you have any idea what that does to a man?" He screamed back.

It took Jack a little while to come up with a new plan; one that didn't put Maria in danger. Jack paced the deck of the Pearl for hours trying to think of a way to find more information about this treasure. His mind was racing with possibilities. He knows that the information they seek lies within the library's ancient tomes, yet the thought of Maria falling into the clutches of the Spanish general sends shivers down his spine.
Maria, sensing Jack's turmoil, approaches him on deck. "What's troubling you, Jack?" she asks, her voice soft with concern. Her hands came to his shoulders lightly rubbing his back in an attempt to calm him down. He stopped moving and slowly turned to face her.
"Just need to find a way to get to the damn library!" he said quietly in disappointment.
Taking a light breath in, Maria sighed and placed a light kiss to his cheek . Her heart beating a little faster as she did, blood rushing to her cheeks. Jack's heart skipped a beat at her action. A small smile danced on his lips in appreciation. "Calm down Jackie! We will be just okay. We will find a way in and out with no problems." She whispered as she hugged him closer.
"Yeah. I'll find a way." He said light heartedly.
"We will find a way." She replied before placing a chased kiss to his cheek and walking away.
Jack stood there staring at where she disappeared to under the deck with a small smile on his lips.
Deep in the belly of the ship, Maria paced back and forth in the dimly lit storage room, seeking solace amidst crates of provisions. A half-drunk bottle of rum clutched in her hands, its contents offering a fleeting sense of comfort. With each sway of the ship, her thoughts churned, searching for a solution to their predicament.
As she took another swig of the potent liquid, an idea flickered to life in her mind, illuminating the darkness with newfound clarity. Setting down the bottle with determination, Maria's eyes gleamed with resolve. It was time to take action.
Emerging onto the main deck under the cloak of night, Maria surveyed the quiet town of Tortuga, its streets shrouded in midnight silence. Only the occasional drunken reveler stirred, their presence but a fleeting echo in the stillness of the night.
With the town asleep and their ship nestled in the harbor, Maria's mind raced with possibilities. She knew that to access the Spanish library without arousing suspicion, they would need to employ cunning and deception. And in that moment, an audacious plan began to take shape.
As the first light of dawn painted the horizon, Maria returned to the ship, her mind abuzz with newfound purpose. With Mister Barbossa and his crew now aboard, she knew they had the manpower to execute her plan. It was time to set their scheme into motion and infiltrate the Spanish library, disguised and undetected. And with a steely resolve, Maria knew that no obstacle would stand in their way as they pursued the truth hidden within the library's hallowed halls.
