Elizabeth walked around the island in a huff. She had already found a spear head shaped rock and now she was looking for a random pile of wood. Elizabeth decided that she couldn’t wait for Jack anymore, and she needed to create a raft or a boat, or something that floats.
Elizabeth finally found a pile of wood scraps next to a huge tree. The palm tree looked like it had to be at least two hundred years old. It toward over Elizabeth like the pole leading up to the crows nest, on Jack’s ship.
Elizabeth picked up as many good pieces of wood as she could, and struggled to the shore.
She dropped all the pieces on the ground and started to cut them up at the same length. Elizabeth went deeper into the island to find bamboo rope.

“How long does it take to get to a bloody island?!” Jack yelled. He hit the pole going up to the crows nest and hung his head.
Ella came up from behind him and leaned on the pole with her head cocked back.
“Oh, hello Ella.” Jack said as he looked up. He looked so sad. Ella noticed.
“We will find Elizabeth, Jack.” Ella said, putting a comforting hand on Jack’s shoulder and stepped closer to him.
Jack smiled at her, and then he nicely shrugged her off and looked out into the distance. “It just seems so damn long, Ell.” Ell was his nickname for Ella.
“I know Jack.” Ella said, trying to hide her hurt feelings from Jack shrugging her off. “It just seems longer because you want to see Elizabeth.”
Jack gave her a half smile and walked away.
Ella sighed again. This is pointless. She walked to the railing of the boat, rested there, and looked out into the sea. Stupid island. Stupid Elizabeth.

Will’s ship had taken a short cut to the island. Now they were the same distance away, just going to arrive at the other side of the island.
“How much longer?” Will asked Peter.
“About an hour or so Captain.” Peter replied.
“Very good.” Will said, not sounding enthused at all.
Will walked to the rum room. He bent down to the floor to open the door. He opened it and walked down the steps. He ran his hands threw his hair and looked at the barrels of rum in front of him.
Will grabbed one of the pre-filled bottles and opened it. He sat on the steps and took a un-gentlemanly sip.
“Will?” Annamarie had just came down the steps from seeing Will’s brunette hair from under her feet (when she was above the room).
“Anna?” Will turned around and smiled. “Come sit, and have a few sips with me.” Will chuckled.
“Okay.” Annamarie smiled and sat next to Will. She grabbed her own pre-filled bottle and took a sip. Hers wasn’t gentlemanly either.
……………………………………………………………………………
About a half hour later, Annamarie and Will were so drunk, seeing straight was a challenge.
“I love that sea!” Will said, lifting his bottle above his head.
“And what do you love so much about it Captain Turner?” Annamarie asked with a loud laugh.
“The sea allows you to be a pirate, which allows you to have rum.” Will said simply and took an other huge sip.
“Rum?!” Annamarie asked with a dazey, drunk look in her eyes. “Is that all you pirates think about?” She smiled at him.
“Not everything, Anna.” Will put one of his hands on Annamarie’s thigh and kissed her. She kissed him back with more passion than intended. But Will didn’t seem to mind because about a few moments later they were on the floor of the rum room, pawing at each others clothes.

Elizabeth was stunned to see the magnificent work she had done on her life boat.
“Perfect.” She told herself and rubbed her hands together. Elizabeth sat down in the raft and quietly thought of her escaping herself, and Jack being impressed with her. It gave her joy thinking that Jack might be worried sick over her at the moment. Even though a huge part of Elizabeth believed Jack was not looking, a small part still believed he was.
Elizabeth sighed and looked out into the horizon like she had done a million times. But now, there was something there. Elizabeth looked harder.
She saw the Pearl? No- it wasn’t the Pearl. Oh no.

“We’re here captain.” Gibbs said after he knocked on the door of Jack’s room.
Jack was lying on his back, with his legs and arms crossed. He lifted his head to see Gibbs.
“Land ho?” Jack asked.
Gibbs smiled at him excitedly, because he was sure that Elizabeth was on the island – because that’s where the current would have taken her. “Land ho.”
