Felicity woke almost immediately,"Something's wrong." She scrambled off her bed hollaring,"JET!! Something's wrong! Get outta bed!" Jet staggered into the hallway, yawning,"What's up sister?" "Jet. The pirates are back." she replied. Her brother snapped awake almost immediatly and ran off to get changed.

A moment later, they ran out of the house, fully dressed and armed. They sprinted down as fast as they could to where all the noise was coming from.

Across town, the Blackhaven residence sat peacefully perched on a hill overlooking the ocean. Sunrise broke through thin pink clouds hanging above the horizon, bathing Port Royal in a soft golden glow. The entire household was still fast asleep except for one seventeen-year-old boy, whose thoughts were filled with those of the eldest Applegate girl, Anneliese. Ian Blackhaven buttoned up the fanciest vest he had and looked once more in the full-length mirror in the corner of his room. Tonight was the night - he couldn’t wait to see Anneliese again.

Running a hand through his thick, red hair, Ian heard a knock at the front door. He descended the staircase and opened the front door with a smile.

"Why the hell is this scum attackin' Port Royal?" Sam asked the stranger while he gave her pistol back. "It ain't like there's still something to get in this bloody town."

She looked at the man, from head to toe and then nodded at him. "Thanks." Her eyes went over the scene: several houses were on fire, pirates started to roam everywhere. And from experience she knew the ship remain on a safe distance, but close enough for the canons not to miss their target.

"Now why are ye just standin' there? Do ye want them to burn yer house? Come on" Sam smiled at him and started to run towards the pirates. She didn't know why. This wasn't her town. She had nothing to fight for here... or was there?

Two gunshots sounded, followed directly by sickening groans and yelps cut short. Molly was too shocked to know what to feel. That would be the mister and the missus.... She thought feebly. Her heart was pounding in her ears, and she knew not what to do. When the attack first began, the home that she worked in was one of the first to be targetted. Her employer, a kind old, grandfatherly man who she had always been fond of, ordered her to barricade herself in her room and pray for safety. Now, he, along with his dear old wife, were dead. And she was alone. Again.

Molly tried to slow her panting breaths, fearing that the intrudres would discover her presence. Then she caught a whiff of smoke. "They've set fire to the house!" she breathed quietly in horror. She quickly blinked the tears from her dark green eyes. There was no time for such folly. She had to be strong.

She glanced toward the window. She was three stories up. A fall would break her legs, and she would be no better off than she was now. But if she could climb.... Molly clung to that hope and opened the window. Her fellow townspeople were fighting pirates in the street. Everything was in a shambles. Her attention was drawn back to her bedroom door when she heard voices and footsteps approaching. Holding her breath and praying furiously, she began to lower herself from the window.

(Would Jack Sparrow be at Port Royal?)

Aaron opened his mouth to reply to the woman, but sighed instead. He turned and followed Sam in the direction of the pirates. The blaze of the fire reflected in his blue eyes as he got closer.

Soon there were pirates within range. Aaron pulled out his pistol, cocked it, and shot at the closest one. He fell back with a bullet in his chest. Aaron shot a few more times until the pirates were too close, besides, he didn't have bullets to spare.

Aaron flipped his pistol and put it back in it's holster at his belt, and pulled out his sword. All the while he still ran towards the big fight going on between villagers and pirates...

Felicity ran into the big fight almost immediatly, killing two pirates and shooting three others in her wake of anger. "FELICITY!! Wait!!!" her brother called after her also killing several pirates. She did not slow down to wait. Two pirates charged her when she wasn't looking. Felicity turned in time to see them fall with with bullets in them. She turned to Jet,"thank you!!" "No problem!" Jet replied

(WOW! this is awesome, everyone! :-D
thank you, Rain. :blush: glad you liked it...
Will, yup, they are. :teehee:)

Being the annoying little sister Des always tried to be when with Ann, she lingered in her sister's room. "so," she wandered over to the window and casually glanced out. "hey, what's that?" she pointed at the smoke by the harbor, a sparkle in her eye. "something's happening! Finally, this boring port gets a wakeup call." she dashed out of the room.

Ann was distracted from her mirror by Des's sudden enthusiasm. She looked out the widow as her sister raced out the door. Sure enough something was burning, but Ann was horrified rather than delighted by the fact. She quickly turned from the window, grabbed her trunk and raced out of the room behind Des.

___________

As Lotty had just stepped on the last step she was met by Desiree, her youngest daughter. "Des, where's..." but at that moment she saw who she was about to ask after, Anneliese came rushing out of her bedroom, bag in tow. "Girls," Lotty's voice was quick, but firm. "we have to go."

"Of course we do!" Des said, "there's something going on out there! Let's go see what it is! this is exciting!" Lotty glared at her daughter, but Ann spoke before her mother could. "what's wrong with you? We're in danger. Someone's attacking us." Anneliese scowled at Des. Desiree, undaunted, said, "at least something is actually happening here and it's not just you and I-..." but the look Ann gave her little sister shut her up instantly.
"girls!" Charlotte took a hold of both of them, "we need to go to the Blackhavens'. Now."

________________

Nicolas was out the door shortly after Charlotte had dashed up the stairs. He wondered if he should go to the Blackhavens' himself. He had told Lotty to go with the girls, but now that he thought it over he figured he'd better go there too. He glanced back at the house, wondering what Charlotte and the girls were doing. Sometimes he forgot that Lotty was almost more used to this sort of thing than he was. She had been a pirate all her life, unlike him. He shook his head. This was no time to reminisce. He ran down the streets, almost across town to the Blackhaven residence. After pounding on the door, it was opened by Ian. He walked into the room and looked around, "where's your father?"

As Sam approached the plundering pirates, she was suddenly overwhelmed by a certain feeling of adrenaline and rage. She pulled her pistol and shot the most nearby pirate in the head and she drew her sword.
The streets were now the scene of chaos: inhabitens of Port Royal fled, tried to defend themselves or threw themselves out of burning houses. The royal navy was nowhere to be seen. Things had certainly changed after years Sam thought grim.
She suddenly looked up by the loud noise of cracking wood of the window sill three stories above her: a girl was trying to escape the burning house. Sam quickly turned around, looking whether any pirates had spotted this girl but when she noticed there weren't any, she shouted: "Oi! Ye there! Ye should jump. Quickly!"

Elizabeth Turner had return to Port Royal to attend to her father's affairs. She was un-sure about stepping foot there again after her father's death, but it had to be done. Now, as she walked down from the house that she spent half her life in, she was at peace with herself. At least, that was, untill she heard the sound of canons and the ring of swords. The town was under attack. Un-sheathing her Jian she ran into the mass of towns people and pirates, cutting down a few of the attackers on her way. She just hoped Will and Jack would be alright.

Ian studied Nicolas carefully, watching the distressed man with interest. “He’s not awake yet… is something wrong?” But almost immediately as he had asked the question a loud barrage of cannon-fire sent the homes down the hill on fire and their residents in panic. Ian could hear the screams as they were carried upon the wind and he started wondering where Anneliese was.

-----------

Varianna Pierce, or rather, Varianna Blackhaven as she was now referred to, sat up abruptly and glanced around the dark room with alert hazel eyes. Something unsettling had woken her from her light sleep, but what it was she couldn’t tell. Straining her ears, she could hear faint voices coming from the foyer. Pulling her robe tightly around herself, Vari stood up and peered out the door to see who was there.

(L-M, ah, that works for a way to bring Jack and Will and Lizzie in! :yes: Will and Elizabeth were visiting PR with Jack... :yes:)

Cole glanced out the window, taking in the horrible scene of burning homes and yelling men and woman, before turning back to the younger man. "You," he took control of the situation since Ian seemed in a daze, "get your sister and brother. I'll wake up Ed and Vari." he started towards their bedroom door at a run. Suddenly, he noticed Varianna in the doorway. "Vari," he stopped in front of her, "Port Royal is being attacked. Where the blazes is Edward? Still sleeping?"

Presently, the door to the Blackhaven home opened again. This time Charlotte, Anneliese, and Desiree came running in. Des was no longer so fascinated and pleased about the attack. Once they had gotten out in it, it had become terrifying. Anneliese glanced desperately around the room for a certain someone. She had to know he was alright.
"Cole?" Lotty was startled to see her husband there. "I thought you wanted us to get Ed." she looked over at Vari.

(Sorry, Will :blush: )

"Oi! Ye there! Ye should jump. Quickly!"

Hearing the voice, Molly looked down and saw a woman standing on the ground calling to her. She bit her lip in anxiety and looked from the woman to the window now a few feet above her. She was still a good ways from the ground and jumping could risk a broken leg, but she could hear the men in the room above her, and flames from the fire were heating the side of her face. The smoke filled her lungs and made her cough until her chest hurt. Yet she still hesitated. "It's too high!" she shouted back.

But she hestitated too long. Having heard the shouts of the two women two of the pirates peered out of the window above. Molly's heart leapt into her throat when she saw one draw his gun. Luckily for her, a rafter, engulfed in flame, fell from the ceiling in her room causing the man's bullet to go astray. But Molly knew it would only be seconds before he tried again. With a cry of abandon, she opened her hands and let herself fall to the ground.

"Umph!" She hit the ground hard, knocking the breath out of her. But she was alive. Alive and with no broken bones. She stood stiffly and turned to the woman who had called to her. "Thanks," she said hastily, "We'd better get away from here."

(( Doesn't matter Artemis ;) ))

"There ain't a safe place in Port Royal now" Sam replied as the woman wanted to run. "Attack is the best defense ye have." and she threw her other pistol to Molly. She carefully scanned the scene but she didn't recognise the pirates, neither could she find any of her friends. They were probably still home, it was no good to run with a herd of kids, she heard they had. When the first pirates were making way to the large avenue where the Blackhaven mansion was located Sam made a quick decision and sprinted in their direction to block their way. Whatever had happened earlier, past or no past, she wasn't going to make it easier for that scum to plunder the houses of her friends.
