[[Aye Will, this is going to be quite enjoyable to watch the plan unravel… :teehee: ]]

Edward ignored the woman for a few moments and closed his eyes. He had made up his mind some time ago and he knew what they had to do, even if it meant exposing themselves. Deciding that it was really the only choice they had, he then turned back to face Carmon with a plan in the works. “I’m sure..Mr. Jansen isn’t going to want his step-daughter in harm’s way…, so that’s where we’re going to put ye. I’m going to need ye to act frightened, terrified, even… can ye do that for me Carmon?” Looking over at Lotty, he said, “And ye’ll need to threaten her, got it? This needs to look far more than just convincing.” Edward drew his own pistol and made sure it was loaded as the two soldiers’ footsteps grew closer.

-----------

Vari smiled wryly. The longer they could keep going, the more time would be bought for Edward, Charlotte and Carmon to come up with something. She nodded at the Commodore decisively and then made her way over to Cole. Taking the boy in her arms, she placed her pistol to his head, although it was surely not her intention to harm him. “Very well then Commodore Norrington, but our offer still stands,” she replied, motioning at herself, Sam and Emma. “And ye cannot begin to comprehend our intentions. One wrong move and you’ll lose both the girl and the boy.”

-----------

Keyara looked hurt and slowly nodded. If she could at least instill a bit of guilt in Beckett, she knew he would inwardly feel a little bit of remorse. “I understand. And I bid you good day, Lord Beckett.” She brushed past him and headed back to her cabin on the Endeavour.

Will smiled kindly at the maid as Elizabeth addressed her. When she was done, he turned his soft eyes back to her. He held out his arm to Elizabeth, although it felt a little awkward. He walked with her to the door and opened it. He knew he should start the conversation, but about what? What could he say? He glanced around the well-kept Swann yard as the door of the house shut behind them, and they began to descend the steps.

"Will, please don't feel as if we have to be this formal with each other," said Elizabeth kindly. "After all, we've known each other since we were children. For heaven's sake, we just experienced an adventure most people wouldn't dream of! I don't want to feel distanced from you."

(( Ahhw Eliza is so sweet :happy: Aye, nice move Ara! This will be fun :-D ))

The two soldier immediately moved to intervene but Norrington hold up his hand and motioned them to stop. He raised his brows and smiled at Vari. "Do you think I am but nearly interested in this boy? He is one of you.. as soon as you pull that trigger, you'll sign your own immediate death sentence." He approached Vari, aiming his pistol on her and said softly. "But said between you and me, I don't believe you have it in you to kill one of your own kind.. but then you're a pirate. They'll do everything to save their own skin."

((Wha, where have we seen this scene before? :P ))

---

Sam peeked uneasy at Cole. Was he a pirate? Ed had said Cole was a friend of his.. She bit her lip as the Commodore didn't believe Vari's bluff. Quickly she aimed her gun at Jansen. If this would turn out in a disaster, he was the first one to go.

----

The soldier now reached corridor and heard muffled voices. They loaded their guns and openend the first door, to look upon the scene the pirate had described...

(oh well, Will! :P We'll just have to see where this goes.... lol)

Jansen stared incredulously at Norrington. What was this man doing just letting these pirates walk all over him? Hah, well, he wasn't gonna let anything of this sort happen. What were Norrington's bloody soldiers doing anyway? He scowled as Vari took Cole and pointed a gun at him. Why didn't the boy move? He had seen Cole before. He was almost unafraid of anything. He was just about ready to boil over and do something he would have probably regretted later when he heard a soft female voice in his ear.

Emma had moved closer to Jansen, her pistol trained at his skull. "I wouldn't move is I was ye." she grinned before turning to Norrington, her pistol remained on Jansen. "if you don't care for the boy, as we don't care for him, then what about the girl? Surely if the others here one shot from you or any of yer men they'll kill her quick as a wink. Now you wouldn't want an innocent girl's blood on your hands. Would you?"

Cole couldn't believe he was just letting Vari take him and point a pistol at his head. He wished the shackles would come off somehow, but more than anything he wished something would be resolved. Nothing annoyed him quite as much as when a situation was out of his control. Should he help Norrington? Or should he help these pirates? He weighed the choices. On one hand if he helped Norrington, which would probably be easy enough, he might be able to save his own skin. On the other hand if he helped these pirates he was saving many lives. Which one was the right choice? For now he decided to join the conversation, "Commodore," he was met with a glare from Jansen but he continued, "do you really think there's any use to this? You're risking the life, no lives, of citizens of Port Royal, citizens you swore to protect. Why don't you let them go like you let Jack Sparrow and Will Turner go?" he cautiously watched, waiting for Norrington's reaction.

(hehe, that scene does bear some resemblance to another scene.... :teehee:)

____________

Carmon's eyes were wide but she managed a small nod for Edward. "I'll try." she glanced behind Ed at Lotty wondering what they were going to do to her. She didn't like seeing Edward making sure his pistol was loaded. What if it mis-fired?

Charlotte gave him a confused look, but shrugged her shoulders and said, "do you really think it'll work, Ed?" she quickly quieted down as she heard someone's footsteps.

___________

The last look Keyara gave him left Beckett in a bit of confusion. What was she trying to do to him? Seduce him? Bend him to make him feel bad about not eating with her? Or was it to make him feel bad about not telling her what she wanted to hear? As soon as she had left him, he turned back to the ocean, giving it a puzzled look. What puzzled him the most was that what she had done actually seemed to be working. He quickly tried to push the thoughts out of his head something he seemed to be growing acostomed to ever since she had joined the crew.

__________

Will smiled at Elizabeth and nodded his head. "of course," he said. He couldn't believe he had acted that way around Elizabeth yet again. After swearing to himself that he wouldn't. But she was right, they had been through a lot together in the past weeks or even years and she deserved more than him distancing himself or being bashful around her, again. "what do you want to learn first?" he decided to change the subject and bring up a new one he was comfortable with.

"Well, to be honest, I'm not sure." Elizabeth looked at her feet, feeling a bit embarrassed, and smiled. "Swordfighting is your area of knowledge, Will, not mine. I was watching what you and Jack were doing when you were fighting those pirates, but actually it's a miracle I didn't get myself killed."

Alex rolled her eyes. As she had suspected, this commodore had some manner of previous greivance with pirates, hence his unusual extent of distaste for them. Now she waited for him to decide her fate...again. Curse that whelp, she thought darkly.

[[Lol, yep, I recognize it from somewhere else too… :pirate: ]]

Edward turned to face Lotty quickly. “Do you trust me?” But before an answer could be given, the door to the hallway opened and two of Norrington’s soldiers appeared. “Bring Miss Applegate with you, and remember, look convincing.” Edward made his move and shot at the one closest to him, pushing past both of them. The soldier that had been shot was pushed down the stairs by the pirate until his body landed in front of the Commodore with a loud thump. A maid that was coming out of a nearby room shrieked and dropped the silver tray she had been holding, its contents landing on the floor and teacups shattering.

Vari grinned at Cole with a particularly arcane smile and looking back at the Commodore she added, “Aye, the boy has got a point; now make your decision quick.” But as soon as she spoke, Vari saw the body of a redcoat and heard screams and gunshots and knew this was all Edward’s doing.

[[Yay for commotion! I would like though for Vari to get separated from the others so we can put the plan in motion with the note and Sam finding out about her and Edward and possibly even have a scene between the Commodore and Vari…? :pirate: ]]

-----------

With a smirk, Keyara headed back to her cabin. It was working perfectly, or so she could tell. She would keep sending different signals, messing with his head. After all, this was a game of lies and deception, and there were no real feelings involved… or were there? Of course not, she told herself confidently, sitting down at the table in the corner of the room. …So then..what makes you think there are? Keyara sighed as she looked at the meal the servants had brought. She poked at the food with the tip of her fork, but suddenly she did not feel hungry. The stillness and silence of the cabin was rather unnerving - the only sound that could be heard was that of the waves crashing against the side of the ship.

[[You know, this reminds me of the song Meg sings in Hercules:teehee: *sings* “No chance, no way I won’t say it no, no…” :happy: ]]

[ You mean like sepperated from Sam and Em? And I'm not quite sure anymore what Norrie has to decide..(?) :confused: There are two more soldier in the room keeping Em and Sam at gunshot but with the pirates 'having' Carmon and Cole there's not much left for the poor Commodore to trade ]

[[Well, everyone in general was my original plan, but I don't know, if you just want to ignore that it's fine, but I was trying to incorporate the idea we talked about by PM before. Eh, maybe I'm just confusing everyone. :blush: ]]

Alex's eyes were fixed on a spot on the ground when she realized she was staring at stick. Her heart leapt. It was roughly the same size as the hole in her chains. She made her way over carefully, cautious not to let her chains rattle. She knelt slowly and picked up the stick. Moving back to her original position with the same degree of caution, she shoved the stick into the lock and jimmied it a few times, watching Norrington out of her peripheral vision, ensuring that her body shielded his eyes from what she was attempting to do.

[ So I'll just make up some smoke guys, tell me if this isn't okay ;) ]

The Commodore looked with horror at the man at his feet. He'd obviously been shot in cold blood from a close distance. James's blood started to boil and he didn't even hear Vari's words. He turned to the staircase and noticed a black haired pirate behind the balustrade and James' grey eyes pierced his green eyes which contained a self satisfied, cocky look. Within an eye blink he aimed his pistol and shot, once, twice and a third time. This triggered a salvo of gunshots from different pistols and the room was soon clouded with a mist of smoke where it was impossible to distinguish friends from enemies..

----

Sam felt a sting in her heart when the soldier fell down the stairs, obviously Edward's work. It was not the soldier she cared about but the fact that she and the others had risked their lifes in order for the other to escape. What was going on? The note.. Edward's presence. Why hadn't they left? It would all be for nothing when the Commodore would kill one of them or arrest them although she had to admit she was relieved that Edward and Lotty were still there to give some back-up. It only took seconds before Norrington had pulled his gun. Edward! Sam shrieked and all seemed to go in slow motion now: others started to shoot, smoke arose and Sam ran towards the Commodore and with a dive, worthy of a professional rugby-player, she pushed him to the ground.

Alex grinned diabolically as the chains clicked. She held them carefully so they wouldn't clink. She began to shift silently and slowly backwards, keeping a wary eye on Norrington.

(okie dokie, I'm gonna try to get my mind together and write something for this finally... :)

btw, Millie, it must be that Alex is outside and out of the action? :confused:)

Will only nodded in response to Elizabeth, secretly delighted she had been impressed with his sword fighting skills in the Isla De Murta. "You'll be just as good soon, Elizabeth." he said as he smiled over at her encouragingly. After leaving the Governor’s drive, he quickly walked through the streets with her towards the humble blacksmith shop. He couldn't help but notice the stares many of the townspeople gave them, but he tried to ignore it.

______________

Lotty nodded in response and, wasting no time, she took Carmon by the arm and followed him. She gave the younger woman a look that told her to remain silent until the opportune moment. Charlotte readied her pistol for the big show but for nothing else. She and Carmon followed only a few paces behind Ed. "They'll know we're coming at least," Lotty murmured as she heard the body falling and the cry of the maid. She didn't even think about the retaliation Norrington might come up with.

Carmon jumped at the noise and gun shots, she stared wide-eyed from Charlotte to Edward as the former dragged her along. She heard the sound of shattering glass, but everything seemed to become a big blur. Her life was in the hands of these two pirates. "Um," she tried to say something, but quickly shut up when Lotty shot her a look. This needed to look real, she knew, but she had just witnessed one of these pirates kill an innocent man. What if they weren't just playing?

Another shot was heard, and Charlotte knew at once that it wasn't from Edward’s pistol. Someone downstairs was firing up at Ed! She gasped and promptly let go of Carmon's wrist to rush forward.

__

Cole caught Varianna's grin, and returned one of his own. He had dealt with pirates, he knew almost exactly what they liked and how they worked. And for now, to get out of this mess, he would have to think and work just like them. He studied the Commodore closely, waiting to see what he would do. Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by a body falling down the stairs. It was an English soldier. He glanced over at Norrington and saw the man aiming up the stairs and firing. Cole's eyes were directed up the steps as well to see where the pistol had been fired. It was Edward! In a fury of turmoil, pistols fired from what seemed like everywhere, smoke quickly filled the room. Pandemonium broke out all around Cole.

Things seemed to be happening too quickly for Emma. First the lifeless, falling soldier and then the shrieks and now all havoc had been let loose! Smoke had filled the room before she had been able to rightly decipher who it was who had killed the soldier or what rightly had happened. All she could figure was it had been either Edward or Lotty and the Commodore had fired back at whoever it was. Emma tried to find her friends in all the smoke, but she quickly found it was useless. Someone grabbed her roughly by the arm. She struggled to get free, cursing. It must be Jansen, she thought. Her blood boiled at the very notion of that fiend touching her. It was then that she realized she had lost her pistol at some point, or had it been wrenched away from her by Jansen? She kicked and punched at whoever it was holding her. She heard the person's sneering voice, it was Jansen.

___________________

(we mustn’t forget the little music box-like thing either... :P ;))

Cutler sighed and watched as the waves crashed against his ship. He looked down at the hard, wooden railing. His mind was racing. After remaining in that position for several more minutes, he turned away and surveyed the deck again. Going like clockwork as always, he smiled to himself. Once they reached Port Royal it would go smooth and easy. And now that he had this Ms. Pierce things could go even easier. The gullible, poor woman, he thought, it's too easy useing her like this. However, before he knew it his thoughts had taken a rather different turn concerning her. He glanced back to where she had disappeared, he stood and stared at that spot as if mulling over some troubling thought. Are you really using her though? a little voice popped, unwanted, into the back of his mind. He turned away and opened up the doors leading to his cabin.
