     I ran to the black Smith's faster than I had ever run before, if I was going to save Jack, I would need Will's help. I threw the door open and Will spun around, shocked. Mr Brown was asleep, as always, passed out drunk. When he saw that it was me, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, putting down a sword that he was in the middle of making.

    "Hazel," he smiled, walking over to me, truth was, I was too upset to embrace it, so I just stood there, trying not to cry.

    "Hazel, what's wrong?" he asked with concern, though I had a feeling he did actually know.

   "They're going to hang Jack," I whispered, looking down. Will gave a sad expression.

    "I know, I'm sorry Hazel, he doesn't deserve it," he sighed.

    "Then help me, we can save him, it's not right to hang him, we can save him, please Will, I'll do anything," I begged.

    "Okay, we'll save him, or try to, but how?"

     I grinned and hugged him thankfully.

    "Think like Jack, improvise," I smiled at the thought of him.

    "You love him, don't you?"

     I exhaled, if I was going to end up leaving with Jack tomorrow, Will and Elizabeth should at least know that I was in love with him.

     "Yes, I do love him, and we've planned on leaving tomorrow, if he does escape," I explained. Will smiled sadly.

    "I'm going to miss you terribly, but it's good, Jack Sparrow can offer ten times the amount Port Royal offers you, and you're good for each others, just let me know if he treats you wrong, and I'll kill him, I promise,"

     I chuckled, I was so thankful to have a friend like Will, he was basically my brother. I nodded and hugged him again.

     "Also, when I got here, they took my sword off me, can I borrow one from here?" I asked.

    Will grinned, what was he up to now?

    "Actually, I was already making a sword for you, I just finished it this morning," he took a sword out of a cabinet. It was beautiful, gold filigree and steel. Still, I did miss the one Jack got for me, but this was simply magnificent.

    "Will! Thank you!" I exclaimed, taking it and putting it on my belt.

    "It's no problem, you'll need it on your pirate adventures, just don't forget about me," he winked, patting my shoulder.
     
     "You'd never let me forget you William," I joked, smiling widely. He chuckled.

     "Go and tell Elizabeth then, if you aren't staying you should say goodbye," he sighed. I nodded in agreement and walked out, my hand resting on my new sword.

     When I got back to the manor, my Father was in the hallway.

    "Hazel, where've you been? I was getting quite worried," he chuckled.

    "Nowhere," I shrugged, continuing upstairs. He gave a sad expression. He knew why I was so upset, but refused to do anything about it.

     At least now I could talk to Elizabeth alone, then overthink the things that had happened in the past few days, my adventure with Jack, the fact that Father wasn't my real Father, which in all honesty didn't really bother me, and about leaving tomorrow, it would be hard, but I'd be leaving with the man I loved, to do something I loved.

     When I reached Elizabeth's room I knocked.

    "Come in!" she called.

    I opened the door and shut it, making sure nobody would be able to hear our conversation.

    "Hazel," she smiled, hugging me, probably in an attempt to brighten me up, knowing of the events that would come up.

    "Elizabeth, it's alright, me and Will are going to save Jack,"

    "How?" she asked, taking a seat on the bed.

   "Improvise, what would Jack do?" I chuckled.

   "I don't know, but why?"

   "I love him Elizabeth, and he loves me, and I'm sorry but I have to do this,"

    "I understand, I would do that for Will," she sighed.

   "I, also if everything goes to plan..."

    "What plan?" she scoffed, I chuckled, there really wasn't one, but that's because we didn't know what the situation would be like.

    "Fair enough, but anyway, if all goes right, I'm leaving with Jack," I whispered.

    "What!" she exclaimed.

   "Keep your voice down," I warned, "But yes, I'm leaving with him, because I love him, he has much more to offer than Port Royal aswell, and I don't want to marry Norrington when I love someone else," I sighed. She nodded reluctantly.

    "I'm going to miss you Hazel, so much, but promise to write to me, and come to visit sometimes," she smiled, hugging me.

    "Of course, how could I forget about my sister, and yes, you'll always be my sister, even if we aren't related," I chuckled.

   "You know abou..."

   "Yes, Father told me, but it doesn't change anything, I promise," I smiled and she nodded happily.

    "Well, if I'm going to do this tomorrow, then I'm going to get some rest,"
   
    She smiled and agreed, I knew I was going to miss her so much, but I would visit her and Will and send them letters.

    I retreated to my quarters and changed into more comfortable clothes. I sunk down into my bed and sighed. I was worried that not everything would go right tomorrow, I didn't know what would happen if it didn't but I definitely didn't want to find out.

    Now I truly had time to think about the past few days, the times I had spent with Jack. The time that we hugged and his arms were so warm and comforting. The time he gently kissed my knuckles. Every time he told me it would be ok and that he'd protect me. And then, today, when he told me he loved me. It hurt me to think that he was all alone, in a cell, awaiting death the next day. The surroundings cold and damp, with no company. As much as I wanted to run down there and hold him, it would raise suspicion if I left the manor this late.

     All I could do was worry myself to sleep and dream about me and Jack.
