As soon as we had gotten back to port royal Jack was taken into custody and sentenced to death by hanging. Elizabeth, Will and I had tried for days to convince them to let him live but it was no use.

We were all stood in a courtyard. Many people had form to watch Jack's hangings which was confusing to me as I mist definitely did not want to be here right now.

"Jack Sparrow you have been convicted of crimes against the crown, those crimes being sinister in nature......."

I silently started to cry as I looked at Jack, stood there on a raised platform with his arms bound. He scanned through the crowd and eventually his eyes met mine.

He gave me a smile as if trying to tell me that everything was going to be alright but I couldn't bring myself to return it.

"This is wrong" Elizabeth said while putting an arm around my shoulders

"Commadore Norrington is bound by the law, as are we all"

Will made his way over to us dressed in a strange outfit.

"Govrner Swan"

"Commadore"

"Madeline"

"Elizabeth, I should have told you everyday from the moment I met you, I love you"

We all turned to look at Lizzie who was looking at Will, shocked. Will then walked away getting lost in the crowd and the noose was put around Jack's neck.

I looked away not wanting to watch. I looked diver at the flag and saw a parrot that had been on one of the crew members shoulders, I silently pointed it out to Elizabeth.

"I can't breathe" She then pretended to faint and Father and Commadore Norrington turned their attention to her.

The drum sounds increased and the leaver was pulled send Jack down through the floor, I was talking now.

Elizabeth suddenly shot up, I followed her gaze and saw that Jack hadn't been hung, he was some how suspended in the air, just high enough to survive.

The guards all rushed over towards him and Will got onto the platform and begun fighting them.

Jack was somehow freed from the rope during the fight and he and Will ran towards some guards holding the rope between them.

The used it to trip six different over and knocked two out by bashing them against a wall. They got to the stone edge and were surrounded so they couldn't move.

Father, Commadore, Elizabeth and I approached them.

"I thought we might have to endure some I'll mannered escape attempt, but not from you"
