Thanks, Ara, glad you like it… so it’s all updated for the anni tomorrow… I was gonna put the link to it in my siggie with our banners… 
Gosh, guys, don’t act like that!  I didn’t mean to make anyone feel bad… I just haven’t been around these parts and all that… *sighs* but I’m back and just in time! And I’m feeling PotC/Beckara RPish! Did thou ever doubt me?   here I am!!! Yay! (btw, I really am sorry that it’s been so long…

Cole shot Sam a glare. He wasn't in the mood to fight with her on top of everything that had gone on today. His sister wasn’t that stupid. She knew what was going on and what she shouldn’t do, not to mention this woods was a place full of mystery to Carmon and himself so she wouldn’t think of wandering around in it alone. “She must be close. She wouldn‘t just wander around aimlessly. Maybe seeing what we had to do to Ed was too much. But she didn‘t blindly wander away,” he scowled at Sam, making sure he got his point across. He softened though when he noticed a stray tear rolling down her cheek, but he said nothing. Instead, he sighed and turned his head away. He was exhausted from this day and all he wanted at the moment was to sleep in his bed in his house. Something which he figured might just never happen again, but he couldn’t rest now anyway. Carmon was out there and what if she needed him? He got up and walked a few feet away and gazed into the forest. He vaguely heard Sam’s voice but paid no attention to her. How were they going to get out of this? He looked down at the ground, his disheveled brown hair fell into his face.
_____
(ooo, love the plot twist, Ara. )
Carmon gasped and froze where she was. She couldn’t easily make out the person threatening her in the dimming light and she couldn’t make out the voice either. Her eyes quickly scanned around to see if there was anything within grasp to fight this person off with. What are you thinking? her mind screamed at her. You don’t know how to fight. You don’t even know how to use a sword or a pistol or probably even a knife right. You’re helpless. She fought back the tears brimming. “Who, who are you?” she whispered out, praying and hoping since those two things were all she had left to defend herself.
________
Emma’s ears perked up and she got up from where she was sitting and approached the two women, listening to their conversation. During the lull in the conversation she jumped in, “aye, it might be hard to get out of here,” her voice was hushed, “but even if we can, finding this Chest?” she looked between the two for a moment before going on. She had her own doubts about this particular adventure Vari had in mind. “Jack might not be hard to find, but working with him and getting him to share his key and secret would be." She raised her eyebrows and rested against the cool brick wall beside Vari.
______
Lotty felt her way along the brick wall, her pistol was in her hand and ready incase any of the gaurds, which had been doubled in number, asked any questions. She stole down the dimly lit streets and to the fort. now this will be interesting, she thought as she approched and squeezed into a hiding place. The fort was heavily guarded tonight. There was virtually no way for her to get in… and no way for anyone to get out. She sighed and watched the red coats from her hiding place. Various ideas flitted in and out of her mind. She could kill one, she could try to sneak in, she could disguise herself as one… Lotty bit her lower lip as she tried to figure out what would be in her best interest to do.
________
(thankies, Ara…  LOVED your part too! woot for Beckara!)
Cutler gaped at the giant creature as it bellowed and made everyone practically go deft for a moment or two. He dropped the gun to the deck since it was pretty much useless to him now anyway. He gathered himself as much as was possible and looked back up to see what condition Keyara was in... or if she was gone. She was still in it’s grip, however, but it seemed as if she had managed to free herself somewhat, but not enough. The Kraken however, was quickly giving up this battle. Most of its tentacles were waving madly at nothing and the creature could still be heard moaning. It was slowly sinking back into the water and releasing its grip on the ship, then as soon as it had come it was gone, fleeing away leaving only ripples and blood in the water. He watched, dumbfounded as it left. What had just happened exactly? His mind had started to try to gather itself again when Keyara came practically out of nowhere and was in his arms. He looked down at her silently, his legs were feeling weak and wobbly underneath him, he felt numb all over. Beckett kept his eyes on her and said nothing. He just looked at her and returned her embrace because it was the only thing his mind would allow him to do at the moment. He was also completely soiled in slim and blood. Who’s blood? The Kraken’s and who knew who elses’s… perhaps Keyara’s too. Maybe even his.

[ *huggles the RPG and the all the players*  I'm glad this survived so long because I like this story so much  Hurray! ]
Cole who obviously hadn't listened to her story had walked away, scanning the forest for his sister. So, Sam thought, it was his sister he cared for while it was Edward who needed the most attention in order to survive. It angered her that Ed's friend, for whom Ed had the highest respect, choose for his sister instead of him.
Sam was on the brink of collapsing. It all was too much, her mind was in chaos as she couldn't handle all the emotions she was feeling. It seemed to her that she had to deal with all this all alone, like she'd always done and she was sick of that. So just for one moment she let herself go: tears ran down her cheeks as she was holding Edward's hand.
Then her sensible self took over again. Things had to be done now and if Cole wasn't willing to assist her, she would do it herself.
Sam got on her feet and walked over to Cole, this time not hiding her tears. " I will go out there to find the medicine Cole." she said with force "And I will look for your sister because I know these woods.. are you happy now?" Sam was startled by the tone she spoke to Cole. Did he deserve that all her anger was now directed towards him? But Sam didn't think or cared about it. It was her nature to say what she thought and that her actions were influenced by her emotions so instead she said with gritted teeth "Why don't you start a fire?"
[ Please don't hate Sam she's just an emotional mess right now. ] _________________

[[Wow, sorry about the delay... I kept saying I was going to write, and now I finally followed through on it. ]]
Vari twisted her body back towards Emma and smiled at the red-head. “Luv, as you have yet to learn; with Captain Sparrow, there’s nothing you can’t get out of ’im, so long as you’ve a few bottles of rum,” she purred. “Learnt that many years ago, when we sailed together.” Vari waited to speak again, until one of the redcoats on duty walked by the cell. She shot him a dirty glare and lowered her voice. “The ship won’t be anythin’ hard… albeit we’ve still got the problem of being trapped here…” she paused and rubbed her chin, trying to think of some unnoticeable way to break out. Surely, it was not impossible, just… improbable. Even if they had been able to open the cells, the redcoats on duty would stop them and most likely send them to the gallows right away. Or, there was the option of trying to saw through the barred windows, but that would simply be far too time-consuming, and time certainly was not on Vari and Emma’s sides. For all she knew, they could be hanged as early as tomorrow afternoon. Emma most likely, would be placed on trial for she wasn’t as well-known in this area, but for Vari it would be different. Because of the numerous crimes and constant breaking of the law she had committed, it would be straight to the noose for her. She swallowed the lump that had become caught in her throat. The thought had never been so scary, but now that she was actually in jail under close watch by the Redcoats, it seemed to swallow her whole. “If we’re going to make some sort o’ move to get out, we need to do it soon.”
-----------
Edward lay motionless in the soft grass. He had now come back to reality, but so had the pain. The searing sting ripped through his chest, even though the bullet had been removed. But for a moment his attention was turned from the pain and towards Cole and Sam’s argument. He sighed and attempted to stand up, in which he finally succeeded. His head spun and Edward tried his best not to collapse on the ground, tripping occasionally. He eventually he made his way over to Sam and placed a hand on her shoulder. “Sam, please…” His other hand clutched his chest in pain, but he continued to speak, “…leave him be.”
-----------
Jaiytiea only gripped the squirming girl tighter, but she relaxed the blade placed at Carmon’s neck. “My name is none of your concern. Tell me child, what you are doing here, alone, in these woods? If I were you, I would leave… leave and never return. You hear me?”
-----------
Warmth flooded over Keyara’s body as she felt Cutler envelop her. She was finally safe in his arms, away from the terrible beast that could’ve easily made a meal out of her. Glancing up into his gray-blue eyes, she noticed just how close they were; his lips only inches from hers. Keyara slowly leaned in, wanting to become better acquainted with them. Suddenly, she pulled back, upon realizing exactly what she was doing. How scandalous it would be to dare a kiss from a man she hardly knew, let alone the head of the East India Trading Company… and in front of other men, some badly hurt and bleeding. What would people think of her? But at the same time, she had been waiting her whole life for a man like him to come along… what if there was no other chance? Keyara decided she no longer cared about what people thought and let her impulse win. Her lips connected with Cutler’s, and as she kissed him, time seemed to stop in its tracks.

"Ed!" Sam gasped as she noticed that he'd silently tried to make his way over to them. Quickly she tried to lay him down back on the ground. Tears welled up again as she beheld her friend who was barely able to speak or breath because of an unbearable pain. She grasped his free hand and said "Ssshht" trying to soothe him. "Now ye listen," she whispered softly. "I will be alright. But it's yer job to get some sleep and survive this.." Her voice broke, but she smiled as she tenderly stroked his hair. "Do it for me, please.." She took her leather coat and gave it to Edward so he could use it as a blanket. For a moment she watched him, hesitating, but she kneeled next to him to kiss him on the forehead.

Aurora laughed softly, she had known Jack Sparrow for a good year or so and she knew of a few things that could sway the man to do as she wished. There was always the obvious case of a bottle of good rum, plus Jack never said no to a pretty lass, if she knew what she was doing that was. Vari was in the same track of mind as she herself was and nodded her head as the dark haired woman spoke... though her words trailed off and Aurora's eyes shot up from the cell as she saw a few redcoats passing by.
A deep growl issued from her throat at the passing men, men who have ruined her life in more ways than one. As she watched them walk by, all she could think about was the man who single handedly thrown her to the sharks... shivering she lowered her head, letting mussed hair shield her from the dreadful memories.
Once the memories were safe in the darkest corners of her mind, she turned back to look at Vari and Emma. They were right though, breaking out was going to be the hardest part and getting away once they were out safely was going to be a whole other adventure.
"I have tried to get out with the things in the cell, but nothing works... if we are to get out we need outside help..."

Cutler pulled away from Keyara quickly and ended the kiss. He set her down hard on the deck, almost dropping her in his hurry, and turned and walked away from her, not letting himself think about anything, especially her. He was looking down at the deck as he walked, the broken shards of glass, muskets, and wood were ignored as the wheels in his mind began turning again. He lifted up his eyes and looked out over the broken railing and across the horizon, fixedly. What just happened? a voice inside screamed at him. Did she just… kiss me? That woman who I’ve only known for several days? She… confusion overtook him. He was dazed. Too much was going on, his ship was still a wreck, his men were dying, Keyara... He couldn’t waste his time thinking about this foolishness. You could have her hanged for what she did, perhaps after she gets you what you want you can have her hung. He slowly shook his head, pinching the bridge of his nose as he looked down at the deck again, trying to clear his thoughts. What are you doing, Beckett? The voice screamed at him again. Your men need your strength, your ship needs to be repaired. Now is not the time for a woman or thinking of what to do with her. He looked back at her for a moment, contemplating what he should do. Suddenly, his face became hard and his emotion was hidden again. He started combing the deck for any men who were still well, trying to erase Keyara from his mind.

Cole was about to reply to Sam when he heard Edward’s voice. “Ed!” he cried while quickly helping Sam settle their friend back down. He took a step back as Sam took over. As she spoke soothingly to him, Cole remained silent, sitting down on the ground a few feet away, watching them. He rested his chin in the palm of his hand, feeling pretty useless at the moment. He was being no help at all to any of them. On top of it all, this was all his fault. His sister’s disappearance, Edward being wounded like that, all of it. Why? Why? The haunting question repeated itself over and over in his head. He pushed aside his thoughts, suddenly knowing what he had to do. He moved over to Sam and said quietly, “stay with Ed. I’ll go find the medicine and Carmon. You need to stay here.” He got up and left before she could argue with him.
_____
Carmon, her eyes still wide in horror, could only manage to say, “I was leaving. Going to town.” she was on the verge of weeping, if only it would do her cause some good. “Please,” she trailed off, trying to gather strength. “please, I need to go. I don’t mean you any harm.”
______
A smile lit up Lotty’s face, an idea flashed in her mind and she quickly put away her weapons. She hid them as out of sight as she could. She tried to fix up her hair and make herself out to be as attractive as possible given the circumstances. She scanned the outside of the jail for a moment before setting her eyes on a soldier who was standing guard alone. He looked like a likely chap who might fall for her. He also looked slightly drowsy there, something which would help her even more. She swayed out of her hiding place and towards him with a winning smile on her face. As she got closer she moved her hand behind her back, making sure her pistol was there for when she would need to use it.
______
Emma quietly watched as the guards walked by them. She didn’t say a word more to interrupt Vari and Aurora’s conversation. As of right now, to her, thinking and planning were better than talking about doing something. All of the suggested ways of escape wouldn’t work, but there had to be some way to get out of this place. She sighed, sitting back down on the narrow, old bench and covering her face with her hands. She wracked her brain for an idea, but stubbornly her tired brain would not produce anything of any good to them.
____
(I’m not really sure what you’re planning on doing as far as Willabeth goes, Will… do you still want to godmod Lizzie?  are we just gonna skip ahead to when they’re planning their wedding or something? Whatever works for you, works for me.
And about joining us in BWE… that would be awesome! I guess now Ara and I just have to think of a nice summery to give to you guys so you CAN jump in… )

"Cole? Wait!" Sam called out. But Cole already seemed to have vanished. Stupid girl she scowled at herself. You and your foul temper! Now he ran off, probably getting lost out there..
Sam turned to Edward, kneeled again next to him, taking his hands in hers. "How do you feel Ed?"
She had to refrain herself from not asking questions which crossed her mind and eventually she couldn't contain herself anymore.
"Ed.. do you remember what you said earlier?" she started careful. "Did you mean that?"

Elizabeth smiled as she watched her figure in the mirror. Her maids stood behind her, both praising her and her beautiful gown. Elizabeth turned a circle and watched the skirt of her wedding dress float. She was excited, the whole prospect of her weding filled her with joy.
A short knock on the door disturbed her daydreaming. "Miss?" the butler's voice sounded from behind the oak door. "Mr Turner is here to see you."
Alarmed, Elizabeth looked up. "Thank you John." she called in a rush as she started to fidget with the buttons of the dress. "Tell him I'l lbe right there.. "
She cast a glance at her maid. "Quick, help me. Will is not allowed to see the dress.."

[[Righty-o, I’m just going to skip ahead an hour or so, when it’s nighttime in Port Royal. ]]
Slowly, the minutes ticked by, and all talking had ceased. Most of the prisoners were asleep, but few could find comfort in their dreams. Outside, night had come quickly; like a dark shroud covering the quiet town. Everything around Vari was silent, but for the soft snoring of a redcoat slacking on the job. She felt caged like some worthless animal as she lay on the straw floor - but that was how people thought of her kind. They were disgusting, filthy, downright scoundrels. No one cared for them, save for their friends, who even now might not hesitate to turn against them for their own personal gain. But that was how it went. <i>Trust no one except yourself…</i> It seemed to be her motto these days. The utter quiet was maddening, and although the air was still, her mind was not. It was spinning with everything happening. If they couldn’t find some way out by dawn, it might be too late. “So why are you just sitting there?” she asked herself aloud. “Because you know it’s hopeless,” she answered her own question. “Wonderful. Now ye’re talkin’ to yerself,” she breathed softly. “Gettin’ just like Jack, ye are…” Vari absentmindedly jingled the coins in her pocket, taking a mental tally of her earnings. <i>…nine, ten…thirteen, fifteen…</i> The smooth metal felt cool to her touch as her delicate fingers ran over each piece. She thought back to yesterday night, when she had met Will outside of a Port Royal inn, and he had so courteously introduced himself and picked up her hat… <i>Me hat! It’s still at Carmon’s…</i> She inwardly cursed - it had been fairly expensive and one of her favorites - but she was in no hurry to go back and get it. No doubt redcoats were swarming that area, and the Commodore was most likely willing to execute any pirate that walked across his path without a second thought. Then there was the note… she wondered Sam had given it to him… Edward -- her heart thumped loudly in her chest at the thought of him. She hoped he was all right… and if he had read the note, did he feel the same way about her? What if it was too late for him now?
-----------
Edward nodded at Sam, knowing that it wasn’t best for him to talk or move right now. But he didn’t want to see them fighting, especially at a time like this. Now was not the time to argue - they had to save their friends and get out of Port Royal as soon as possible, but Vari had still not said where they were going or for what purpose. He grasped Sam’s hand and watched Cole leave out of the corner of his eye. “Of course I remember, Sam… and I meant every word.” Ed looked up into Sam’s eyes with a serious expression playing his features. She looked so naturally beautiful in the firelight, and he was a terrible mess.
-----------
The Singaporean seemed to contemplate the blonde’s words. They were deep and full of emotion, yet Jaiytiea had decided not to believe her. Who knew if she had been taught in the ways of theater and could act her way out of anything. “Yet, you still have not answered my question, child - what are you doing in these woods? No one passes this way. How strange to find a young lady, alone in this place…” Jaiyt thought for a few more moments as fireflies around them lit the woods. “But, if you will allow me to travel into town with you, then you will not be harmed. I have some unfinished business to take care of.” Her dark eyes flashed maliciously.
-----------
Keyara stood frozen in place as Cutler abruptly left. How could she have been so foolish? Her mouth hung open as she took another glance around the deck, and everything started coming back to her. Men were dead, others moaning in pain as they laid in the blood of their comrades, and the smoke rising from the fire of broken oil lamps was enough to choke oneself to death. Yet here she was, having so selfishly pushed aside the needs of others to fulfill her own personal desires. Keyara hurried back to her cabin and latched the door, without a single word to anyone. She was physically shaking as she went over to the vanity and poured a glass of brandy for herself. After downing the alcohol, she looked in the clouded mirror at her reflection. <i>You look absolutely ghastly.</i> Her hair was a dirty mess and as she went to brush it back out of her eyes, she noticed a cut on her hand was bleeding profusely. <i>You were extremely fortunate to come out of that like you did…</i> Keyara sat on her bed and used one of the cloth napkins as a bandage. As she wrapped it around her left hand, she flinched at how badly the wound stung. She let her head fall back on the pillow and stared up at the ceiling. <i>And how will he think of you now? Not too highly of course.</i> It was true when they said it could take a while to build something up and only seconds to destroy it.
----
Lieutenant Groves made his way over to Lord Beckett, having seen the entire thing. He cleared his throat, attempting to get the other man’s attention, for he seemed in a daze. “Sir? What is your plan of action?” He waited expectantly and brushed some dirt from his overcoat.
[[Uhm, yeah, we still don’t have a BWE summary and we really need to write one soon… Sorry Panny and Will - PD and I are just a bit slow with things lately because of school.  ]]

"And Vari..?" These two words seem to echoe in the dark woods. She cursed herself for asking it: didn't he just told her that he loved her? But she needed to be sure.. She would die if she eventually was to be disappointed..
Sam watched Ed intently, he was in pain for sure. Would he make it through the night? Her hand brushed over his hair, her other hand was in his. Then all of the sudden she pressed her lips on his and she kissed him.
"I love you too.." she whispered.
Then the moment was over and Sam's cheeks were flushed, matching perfectly with her red hair. She felt all of the sudden embarrassed of her impulsive action. Mumbling something about 'collecting firewood' she got onto her feet and walked off.

They fell into the silence and now that she had someone she knew she could rely on, Aurora didn't feel as locked away as before, which was ironic because she was still in her jail cell, nothing had changed, but the thought of having companions that were in the same boat as her made everything that much more hopeful.
Moving away from the bars, she moved to the corner of the cell, where there was a small hole in the stone walls. Most likely due to some previous captive who had spent days upon days trying to chink away at the stone to get free... their results had been dire, the hole wouldn't even allow two fingers through.
It was a good peep hole though, and she looked out with one brown eye, watching as the moon began to rise in the sky allowing night to wash out all vestiges of light.
She could hear mumbling around her, snores from some of the other jailee's and the occasional shuffle of feet, but none of that bothered her, it was her lullaby and she slowly relaxed, eyes drifting closed before falling asleep.
