Scarlet watches the day turn to night a new prisoner came in. His hair was long and scruffy a dark brown color, a hat on his head, and the outfit of a pirate. She watched as he was thrown into a cell across from hers. The men next to her kept on hooting and catcalling. She tried her best to ignore them. At around three the man across from her woke up (for he had been passed out) rubbing his head.
"Bloody my head hurts..." he mutters to himself sitting in a corner his hat pulled down over his face. Scarlet watches him with interest. Noting how he had small braids in places of his hair. He caught her staring, not letting on that he was also watching her. He noticed she was wearing a long purple skirt with a red sash around her waist, he saw her Carmel skin glow in the light, he noticed that the men next to her catcalling. She stood up walking over to the back of the cell near the men. One reached his arm through trying to touch her shoulder, thinking quickly she grabbed it and twisted breaking the mans arm.
"That will teach you to never catcall again" her voice gaining a stronger Spanish accent. The man watched this all intrigued by this woman with long chocolate hair, and a white top. He looked down at her corset it was deep blue.
"What are you staring at?" Scarlet asked looking over at him this time the English and Spanish accents mixing in words.
"Well if you must ask I'm staring at you" the man said standing up as he spoke walking over to the bars of the cage "how'd you get in here?" He asked "a fine looking lady like you couldn't possibly do anything wrong" Scarlet laughs.
"Lady you think I'm lady?! That's hilarious" she said walking up to her bars "I'm a gypsy, wrongly put in prison I might add" she crossed her arms "a damn baker... Arse sold me bread and said I stole it" she muttered the last part. Looking at him "my guess is you're a pirate heading to be hanged tomorrow".
"Spot on missy" he said watching her as she played with her hair a look of sadness upon her face.
"I don't do well in stone walls" she whispers sadly "I want to get out" she looks out her little window sadly. Suddenly she jumped back as a canon ball exploded near her. She ducked down. Closing her eyes tightly and covering her ears. The man looked at her just as a canon hit the cell next to his; he ducked away from the flying stone.
"I didn't get your name missy" he said. She laughed loudly looking at him out of the corner of her eye.
"I didn't give it to you" she said "I don't give to people I do not know"
"Well missy I'm Jack Sparrow" he says "just so you know it". Scarlet turns away laying down to sleep. She has the mans name in her head Jack Sparrow... he's that pirate I've heard about... maybe I could join him... She falls asleep.

Awoken by men talking one of which was Jack, they were talking about getting out. She stands up looking at them.
"If you get me out I'll help you" she says, Jack and the other man look at her confused "I can help if you get me out of here, I know these streets better than anyone" she says.
"Well you're finally awake sleeping beauty" Jack says grinning "Will bring her along". The other man known as will had long black hair tied in a ponytail, and his outfit was baggy a very common look amongst the towns people, his skin was tanned and hands were slightly burned.
"Come on then" he said using a block of wood to lift free the bars. Scarlet walks out stretching her arms.
"Alright let's go" Jack said offering his arm. Scarlet pretended not to notice as she led them out of the prison towards the docks. Dodging any place where the soldiers were bound to be, as they reached the little dingies she motioned for the two men to go underneath it. When they were underneath she waited a few minutes then began walking towards the water. The entire time keeping very quiet.
"Up here's the boat" she said suddenly "on three we go up, one" she counted looking back at them.
"Two" she said motioning them to swim.
"Three" Will finished as they started swimming up to the boat. This entire time Jack was staring at Scarlet he had no idea what her name was but he knew he wanted her to join him as his first mate. She jumped aboard looking at the men.
"Hola" she says punching one in the throat and kicking another in the groin "adios". She walks up to the captain "relinquish the boat" she commands taking a sword from a soldier next to her "or I'll cut you into a million pieces" the men laughed two grabbing her and pinning her arms behind her back. Seeing this Jacks blood boiled he ran punching some men.
"Boat now" he says pulling a gun. The soldiers release Scarlet letting her go as they jumped off the boat. Scarlet rubbed her wrists; Will ran over bending down.
"Are you ok?" Will asked noting the bruises.
"I'm fine..." she says standing up using Will briefly to get her balance she looked out on the left side "we've got company" she says just as The Interceptor ran into the ship they were on the soldiers tied roped onto the other ship jumping aboard meanwhile Scarlet, Will, and Jack got on the other boat snapping the ropes and getting it on the way. Scarlet laughs loudly.
"Bye bye lobsters!" she says.

Jack leaned against the railing watching Scarlet and Will. He had finally gotten her name he watched the two talking about who knows what. Wills palm was now in Scarlets hand she was doing something to it. After a few minutes she let go smiling slightly. "Scarlet!" Jack said walking over "what was that you were doing just now?"
"Reading his palm" she says suddenly she takes Jacks hand looking down at it "hm very interesting" she says "you are destined for greatness" she released his hand and stands up noticing it's getting dark. She runs up to where she can climb to the top of the crows nest looking out she yells "land!"
