"Rebecca!" Someone yelled as I fell.

All oxygen in my lungs seemed to have vanished as I was falling faster to the water. I couldn't breathe and I had a feeling I would drown in this bloody dress. Dam Corsets. I felt a cold envelope surround me. My body seemed to be paralyzed and all hope of me reaching the surface seemed to vanish.

In the water I could see Elizabeth being held back from jumping after me. How was she awake? She almost passed out when I fell. I felt something soft on my back and I realized I had hit the bottom. My eye lids were closing, but I used everything inside of me to keep them open. I needed oxygen but when I opened my mouth I was choking on the water. A pair of arms wrapped around my waist and started pulling me up to surface.

My eyelids closed as my head hit surface but I still couldn't breathe. I had never felt so weak in my entire life. From the weight of my dress we were pulled back under water, but the arms ripped the bloody thing off and continued to try to get me to shore. We hit surface again and now two other pair of hands pulled me on deck laying me down.

"She's not breathing!" a voice panicked.

"Move!" A familiar voice ordered. I heard a blade cutting something and immediately I regained control over my body. I gasped couching up water clenching my side. I clenched my side trying to regain oxygen. I couldn't control the shaking. A pair of hands pressed my shoulder down trying to get me to lay still.

"Sage...." Someone whispered. I opened my eyes looking into Jack Sparrows, but his eyes were at my hands. "Where did ya get that?" he asked reaching to touch it.

"On your feet!" Someone ordered. Jack slowly put his hands up standing as a group of soldiers pointed their guns at him.

"Rebecca!" I heard Elizabeth gasp as she knelt beside me. I looked to Jack as he smirked at the name. Elizabeth wrapped her arms around me and pulled me away from the men. "Oh My God you saved me." She said giving me a hug. I winced still a little shaky.

Governor Swann quickly came over. He glanced at me...in my dressing gown and quickly took his coat off to give to me. He glanced at Jack "Shoot him."

"No" I exclaimed.

"Father!" Elizabeth said "Commodore, Are you really going to shoot my friends rescuer?" she asked wrapping her arms tighter around me.

He thought for a moment "Very well." He decided and the men all put their guns down "I believe thanks are in order." He said placing his hand out.

Jack hesitantly did so as well. When they shook hands, the Commodore grabbed his sleeve and pulled it up revealing a burned 'P'. "Had a run in with the East India Trading Company did we, Pirate?" he asked.

"Hang him!" the Governor ordered.

"Keep your guns on him men, Gillette fetch me some iron." The Commodore ordered as he pushed his sleeve up more revealing the sparrow tattoo.

"Well ,well, Jack Sparrow." He smirked.

"Captain Jack Sparrow" Jack corrected as the Commodore let him go.

"Well I don't see your ship." He commented.

Jack smirked "I'm in the market, as it were."

"Said he'd come to commandeer one." One of the guards said.

"Told ya he was telling the truth." The other said "These are his, sir." He said picking up Jack's belongings.

The commodore lifted Jack's pistol inspecting it as Jack watched uneasy "No additional shoot, nor powder. A compass that doesn't point north." He said opening the compass. I Looked at it longingly as he placed it down and drew Jack's sword "And I half expected it to be made of wood." He chuckled "You are without doubt the worst pirate I've ever heard of."
