Chapter Six
Chapter Six
Will wondered the streets of Tortuga. He was amazed when he found that the bustling and partying of the night before died down around eight o' clock in the morning, allowing for people who remained sober (so, only a handfew, including Will) to walk around and have actual conversations. Will was surprised when he saw Gibbs walk out on a porch and stretched, but rolled his eyes when he saw two woman (barely dressed) pull him back into the house.
"And I thought he was one of the respectable ones..." then he laughed when he realized he called a pirate 'respectable'. He sighed, and continued his search for Elizabeth. He was sure that she would return to the ship last night, but with the way she was acting, Will wasn't entirely sure that Elizabeth was sleeping in a bar or room or even on the street.
He wandered the streets and peeked through windows and taverns, hoping to find Elizabeth soon.

Elizabeth was pacing up and down the length of the room, waring out the carpet under her feet in the process. Leverage? What the hell did he mean? That bastard! She sighed and continued pacing. She reached her turning point and turned, then stopped and picked up the compass Teng left behind.
Gently, Elizabeth opened it and gazed at the scratching it had inside the cover. It was her, alright- from the hair to the way she carried her shoulders, from the smile on her lips that also seemed to radiate in her eyes. Jack had taken his time carving this- he probably did it at night, when there was nothing to do. The sentiment it held touched her, and before she knew it, she was on her knees, sobbing.
Elizabeth Swann, she thought between sobs, what have you done?
Elizabeth snapped out of her quiet spell when a gentle knock was heard at her door. She stood up immediately, closed the lid to the compass, and stuffed it into her pocket. Wiping the tear stains of her cheeks and sniffing, she looked at the door.
"Come in." she said in the most menacing voice that she could muster. Elizabeth could feel her blood boiling, but cooled down when she saw that it was a woman, around her age, entering her room with a plate of food.
"Excuse me." the tiny woman said in a delicate, yet heavily accented, voice. "General Teng want you to eat here. Said you will be most comfortable." And with that, the tiny woman grew quiet and went to the corner, to be out of the way.
Elizabeth smiled, and walked over to the small lady. "Hello." she said warmly. "My name is Elizabeth Swann. What's yours?"
"Daiyu." she introduced herself with a curtsey. "The rum runner told me to keep watch over you, Miss Swann."
"Please, call me Eliza- wait, did you say 'rum runner'?" she asked, and recieved a nod for an answer. "Who is the 'rum runner'?"
"Tall, dark man. No name. Told me to keep eye over you." she curtseyed again. "I will be much obliged to do my job."
Elizabeth strained a smile. "Well, then, please make yourself comfortable, Daiyu." Elizabeth grabbed Daiyu's hand and sat her down on the couch, Elizabeth sitting next to her. "It isn't everyday when I can have some girl talk." she smiled, hoping to get more information out of her new friend about 'the rum runner'.

Jack paced up and down his cell, growing restless. His legs were itching to run- to jump, to swim, to do something besides sitting and pacing. The new gaurd that was watching him only grunted at him.
"I'm getting BORED!!!" Jack said really loud, hoping that the guard understood him.
The guard just gave Jack a low grunt.
"Oh, hush up. I can't grunt to!" Jack snapped, and stepped up to the bars, to get as close to the gaurd as possible.
The guard grunted, and Jack grunted back at him. The gaurd growled louder, and Jack growled even louder. This went on for a few minutes, until General Sao Teng opened up the door that led into the brig and strutted up to the cell Jack was in.
"Mr. Sparrow, that'll do." Teng barked at Jack.
Jack growled at him and snapped back, "It's CAPTAIN Sparrow."
"Yes, well, your precious Pearl is currently resting at the depth of Davey Jones' locker, isn't it?" Teng replied calmly at Jack.
Jack became silent, and watched as Teng walked up closer to the bars. "As you know," he snorted, "Captain Sparrow. I am getting married." Teng picked at his coat hung over his shoulder, hiding his left arm. "I wish to give my lovely bride a wedding present. "
"I'm pretty sure Lizzie would kill you before you two have a chance at that." Jack growled, staring at Teng with narrow slits for eyes.
"Hardly." Teng sniffed, and began pacing back and forth, feeling Jack's glares on him. "She is already informed that I have something she wants."
"And what's that?" Jack asked, livid.
"You." Jack became quiet with rage. "You, Mr. Sparrow. She has no idea that it is you, yet, but I intend for her to find out." Teng stopped and stared Jack in the face.
"How you going to do tha'?" Jack asked, his voice threatening.
Teng dropped the coat hanging over his left shoulder, revealing him holding a noose. Jack stepped back, a glint of fear and realization flashing in his eyes. "On our blessed wedding night, I intend there to be a hanging." Teng laughed, cruelly, and placed the noose on the wall opposite of Jack, so Jack could see it. "You'll be able to see your precious... 'Lizzie' ..." he said sarcastically "in her royal wedding gown before the world goes black."
Jack shot evil looks at Teng, who laughed cruelly as the general made his way up the stairs, leaving his prisoner to stare at what would soon be his fate.
