11:20AM, Port Royal, the Gallows

"With your willful crimes agaisnt the crown, these crimes being numorous in quantity, and sinsister in nature you are hereby charged with piracy, Impersonating an officer of the Royal navy, arson, pilfering, deprivation of the crown for these crimes you will be hanged by the neck until dead, may god have mercy on you soul" The Town Clerk said just before two men put a nuse around the young woman's head. The woman then smiled and winked but to whom? no one knew. The exicutioner pulled the lever but the boared which layed underneith the girl stayed stationary. She looked over at the exicutioner with a small smile. She then tapped the floor with her foot to the beat of 'Hoist the Colours'  Everyone in the crowd became ancious. They wanted to see a hanging without getting cooked by the now beating down sun. The exicutioner then scratched his head, let the lever go back up, and then pulled it down as hard as he could. Still the board stayed stiffly under the woman's feet. They then took the woman out from underneith the nuse and to another. Same thing happened, the bottom held strong. They then put the woman off to the side and the Town Clerk put his head in the nuse, then told the exicutioner to pull the lever. He figured he would be fine seeing nothing happen to the woman. The wood creeked and groaned but the bottom fell off and the Town Clerk fell doing the dance of death. The men in the crowd turned away while all the women shreiked in horror. The Clerk's feet stopped twitching and the exicutioner pulled the Clerk's carcass back up to the top of the platform.

The woman smiled and waited. She wasn't stupid, no far from it. She was just biding her time. The woman finshed 'Hoist the Colours' and it seemed everyone became quiet once again. The woman sighed. "troublesome thing....death.......we spend all of our life thinking of how it will claim us....yet no one knows how or why it comes for them so early or late..and I'm here to say....today...is not...my day" The woman said tilting her head. The exicutioner scratched his head in confustion. She smiled at him then putting two fingers in her mouth she whistled. All of a sudden pirates jumped out from underneath the platform and from the crowd. The pirates surrounded the woman, backs to her and swords in front. Trying to protect her. All of a sudden you heard a yell come from above and another pirate swung down clutching a rope, he held is arm out and pulled the woman with him until they reached the top of the stone building which surrounded them. "Jack!" She shreiked hugging the pirate tightly

"SPARROW!" The exicutioner yelled at the two

"Captain! Captain Sparrow!" Jack yelled down "well it's now Sparrows" Jack added smiling at his blond-haired, blue eyed, pirate wife. She smiled at him

"Now...may I do the honors?" The woman asked Jack. Jack nodded 'yes'  she sighed and then turned to the shocked crowd and exicutioner "You will remember this as the day that you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow" She said

"And Captain Brittney Sparrow" Jack added then Jack swung the rope back, took a good hold of Brittney and they fell down...down into the ocean below where around the cove sailed a beautiful pirate ship with black sails......
