"Right lets go then." Sam said and she gestured to the trees where they could walk covered from unwanted eyes.

At the end of the street the road became more narrow and it was hard for chariots to ride there because it ascended a high hill. The residents of Port Royal prefered the centre of town where their charoits could ride easily and it was said among the rich that in the woods over the hills pirates and bandits hid. The poor called the place maldito.. cursed so neither poor or rich set a foot there. Occasionally the soldiers of Norrington made a round there for Norrington didn't believe in these fairytales and pirates he didn't fear. An order of their suprerior couldn't be ignored but the soldiers always came back with strange stories from that place which fuelled the talk gossip ladies in Port Royal. No.. it was only the presence of the Mansion of Commodore Norrington that the residents of this street in the outskirt of Port Royal slept well.

As they started to climb up the hill and enter the forest the light became dimm and Sam gestured the others to be silent and walk on for a bit more. She worried herself sick over Edward but could only just manage to stay strong. When they had walked another 20 minutes she held up her arm and pointed to a kind of cave or hole in the slope of the hill. "Lay him down here.." she whispered, relieved that they had met no one on their road.

[I'll bring Norrie back in my next post ;) ]

[[Squee! Finally getting back into the KAWEOTH vibe! :pirate: I really like this little maldito place, Will! Very interesting idea!]]

Edward groaned feebly as he was laid on the moist ground. He could only imagine how much blood such a wound had caused and how much had been lost. His white shirt, or rather Cole’s, was completely soaked in dark red and clung to his slowly rising and falling chest. His bright green eyes glazed over and lost color and he could hardly recognize his friends anymore, except by their concerned voices.

He reached up and grasped what he believed to be Sam’s arm. “Don’t worry ’bout me… I… I had to save ye… I let everyone down…” He moved to become more comfortable, but a sharp pain shot through his body. “Aah, Sam… it hurts…” Edward clenched his teeth and let his head fall back onto the ground while still clinging to the redhead.

-----------

“Thank you for your endeavour, Mister Jansen, but I believe my men and I can handle it from here,” Oliver said with a nod of his head to show respect. He whistled and motioned for three nearby Redcoats to escort Varianna and Emma to their cells.

Vari grimaced; these bloody stupid shackles were hurting her wrists and being manhandled by the soldiers as if she was some sort of animal was the last thing she had wished for. She hoped Em was at least fairing a little better, although that was very unlikely.

-----------

Another unexpected lurch of the ship sent two soldiers overboard, but before they had the chance to reach the water, a giant abyss opened before them - the mouth of the Kraken. Some of the men began rushing across the deck and shouting uncertain orders to appease Lord Beckett, while others remained motionless, simply staring at the spot their comrades had disappeared. Keyara glanced worriedly over to where Beckett was standing with one of the officers. She started to make her way over, slightly trembling from the shock of the whole incident. It appeared the alleged ‘reef’ was getting angrier and the Endeavour began to rock back and forth violently, making Keyara trip on the hem of her dress and fall onto Lord Beckett.

[[Lol… she’s such a klutz. :lol: ]]

(I'm so sorry, guys! I didn't mean to be gone this long! :blush:)

"Destiny indeed," replied Elizabeth with a smile. "Though I rather like the idea of your being captain, and I could be your first mate. Together we could be the scourges of the seas!"

(Ooo, I like the idea, Will! :-D and it'll be great for Carmon and Cole since they might've believed the stories about the place. :teehee:)

Cole glanced over at Carmon as Sam began to lead them into *that* place.

"are you sure..." Carmon trailed off, worrying about what really was lurking in the woods. "Um," she glanced back almost longingly towards their safe house, "these woods... Cole?" She looked at him pleadingly. She really didn't want to enter this place. It was so dark and there were so many places for who-knew-what to hide.

"I'm sure they're just stories, Carm," Cole tried to assure her and himself. He had heard the Commodore talking about this place and all the superstitions many, many times anyway. He knew he should and could believe the Commodore. There was nothing more to this place except what the ladies gossiped about. And rumors had a way of always being stretched to ridiculous lengths. "Anyway, the Commodore oversees the woods just like the rest of the town. It's fine." however, as Cole was talking his voice trailed off to a whisper. It didn't seem fit to talk in such a quiet place.

Before much time had passed they were setting Edward down. Cole knelt down by his friend. "Don't talk, Ed," he said, trying to keep his friend quiet and still. "He's lost a lot of blood," he said to Sam, noticing her shirt was soaked with Edward's blood. He glanced down at his own blood-soaked shirt.

__________________

Mr. Jansen let go of Emma and grunted in response to Oliver. "You didn't handle things very well at my house. But I suppose I'll have to trust you for now." he glared at the two pirate women before turning away to see what his home looked like after that little skirmish.

Emma scowled at Mr. Jansen now that she was free of him and could face him. Before she had the chance to do or say anything to him, though, she was quickly led inside behind the soldier escorting Vari. She secretly hoped they would at least be put in cells that were close to each other. Perhaps they could talk and figure a way out of this mess. She also found herself wondering what had happened to the rest in the scuffle. They had probably all died.

______________

Instinctively, Lord Beckett caught Keyara in mid-fall. For a few minutes he stood there, holding her in his arms out of pure shock. He mentally shook himself, righted Keyara and moved quickly away from her to talk to one of his commanding officers. They needed to be freed from whatever this thing was. Deep inside something started to click in his mind. He had read and heard about ships being caught by huge sea creatures. Cutler couldn't say he dis-believed it even when he first heard it, he always had a belief in these "sailor yarns" from the Cursed Gold to Davy Jones himself. However, now more than ever he started to think all these stories were true.

_____________

(Anie! :-D oh, don't worry about it... you're back and ready to go now! :hug:)

Will chuckled at the thought. Elizabeth's imagination hadn't been damaged by their high-seas adventure at least. Although he had to admit that he was content enough with that one "pirate adventure". He paused his thoughts, somehow though he felt a little lost now going back to normal life after everything they had been through. For a few seconds, he wondered what Jack was up to before turning back to Elizabeth. He opened the door to the blacksmith shop for her and let her enter before entering himself and closing the door behind them.

Sam took gently Edward's hand as he grabbed her arm. She was covered with his blood but she wasn't aware of that nor of the fact that tears were running down her cheek.
"It will be fine." she told her friend in a comforting tone not only to reassure him but also herself. She couldn't let this happen. For long she didn't have contact with her friends, she made stupid mistakes, Sam now realised. But things would be like old times now...
She nodded at Cole's remark. "Aye.." she spoke softly "and he'll lose more as we get the bullet out. I can do that for ye."
Then she looked back at Edward and suddenly remembered Vari. Had she escaped? Was she safe? Her hand dug in her pocket to get a scrap of paper out which was adressed to Edward.
"I almost forgot." Sam said "Vari told me to get you this. Shall I read it to you?"

[Wouldn't it be fun if Sam had to read it to Ed? :teehee: ]

-----

James moaned when he regained vision. Everything was still a blur and the only thing he felt was the aching pain in his head. Laying still on the floor he remembered the day. The past two days which had been a succession of horrors. Jack Sparrow.. Elizabeth.. the break-out.. Cole's betrayal.. the fight..
The Commodore quickly sat up, a bit too quick for the throbbing pain got worse. The hall was empty and nothing much but a broken vase told that there actually had been a fight. A redhead had thrown him to the ground after he had shot another pirate.
"MEN!" he shouted, wondering where his soldiers had been. A party had to search town to find the pirates now they were still near.
"Jansen!?"

[Doesn't it seem the perfect moment for Becky to come in? I know he's quite busy at the moment :P ]

-+Aurora-Rose+-

Sighing deeply, the blonde hair girl leaned back against the stone walls of her jail cell, head tipping back as she stared up to the ceilings, once more counting each stone. Everyday it seemed as if there were more stones than the day before, which was absolutely ludicrious seeing as that was impossible that stones grew. Maybe it as just a miscount on her part, yes, that was what it was. Her brown eyes always did get a bit foggy when she reached the two hundreds in her numbers, so it was highly reasonable that she had simply miscounted.

Aurora-Rose had been in this jail cell for quite some time, just a bit over a year she assumed if the small etches of numbers on the walls were up to date. At first she had resisted attempts of capture, and had escaped a few times, but it was all in vain because she never got far before she was caught again, so she just quite trying to escape these days.

Growing bored with the stones on the ceiling, she began to draw idle shapes on her sable leggings, watching as the material bunched up slightly in her wake before returning to it's natural shape. It was clear that Aurora-Rose had gone a bit... insane while being in the jail. She wasn't mentally unstable or anything, but she was not a person who did well being couped up inside a small jail cell.

She was a Pirate, or at least was one for a short period. The day she had gotten caught a little over a year ago, she had had plans to board a ship during the night that was to dock for an hour before sailing away, everything was planned to the exact second of departure. It was supposed to be done in secrecy, but one of her letters must have got intercepted. The letter had informed her that the ship would be delayed due to a storm, but she had never gotten the letter, instead she had recieved a forge letter saying the ship would arrive on time and when she went to dock, there was no ship, instead there was the govenor as well as Mr. Jensen who had been the one to intercept her letter before recieving it.

They didn't have very viable proof that she was a Pirate, the letters had not said anything that would lead to any form of piracy, but they had their hunches and so they locked her away in hopes of finding more proof. Aurora was here awaiting the gallows so to speak, even though she would die long before they found any proof that she was a Pirate...

Tilting her head towards the iron bar cells, she heard voices, where there new people coming to the jail, how interesting... maybe she would get to talk to someone other than the old creepy man next to her, who wouldn't stop staring at her.

[[Aramel invited me to join... I hope this is okay ^^]]

[[Wonderful intro, Pan! :D I've brought in Vari and Emma for Aurora to talk to.]]

Oliver made a face at Mr. Jansen as he walked down the empty street, back towards the Applegate mansion. He cursed under his breath, but continued leading the girls to their cells. Who did he think he was, ordering Oliver around like that? He only took orders from Mr. James Norrington, for that was his job. Although the pay was nothing to get excited over, he did what he did and kept the criminals locked away from the innocent. The blond man stopped in front of an empty cell and dug around in his pocket for the key. “Well, seeing as we’ve had quite the influx of your kind, you’ll be sharing a cell until one opens up.” He unlocked the door to the cell and ordered the redcoats to remove the women’s shackles.

Vari was glad to have the iron clasps removed from her wrists, but this would probably be the only thing she was grateful for now that she and Emma had been placed here. As the door was shut and Oliver gave one last glare, she sat down on the small slab that was to be used as a chair. “Well, bloody fine mess we’ve gotten ourselves in,” she sighed, pulling out her red bandanna and tying it in her hair. “No weapons, no money… like animals in a cage.” Vari glanced toward the small barred window that overlooked the gallows. Nothing had gone according to plan; nothing like it should have been… the brunette couldn’t help but wonder where the others were, and if they were all right, especially Edward. Hopefully Sam had played her role in delivering that note… if not, Edward would never know how she really felt. Not like it mattered anymore - she would probably never see him again.

-----------

Edward laced his fingers with Sam’s, staring up at the canopy of trees that blocked out the sun and its light. Her warmth and her voice made him shudder. He nodded slightly at the mention of Vari, wondering just what had become of her. Is she all right? “Yes…read it to me…” he grimaced; it hurt to even talk. Edward glanced over at Sam - how beautiful she looked… so perfect, so amazing… he closed his eyes and let pained tears stream down his cheeks in small streams. Somewhere off in the distance, he could hear a bird singing, and an animal rustled in the leaves somewhere in the distance. He tried to tell himself this was just another forest, but he was scared, cold and tired… dying.

[[Will, I guess you can just make up whatever you want it to say, as long as it has Vari confessing her love in it. :yes: ]]

-----------

Keyara was almost as shocked as Lord Beckett was. She felt herself being set back on her feet and watched as he walked towards another of his officers. For a moment or two, she stood there blushing, not knowing what to say or do. Finally she made the decision to walk over and join in on the conversation, whether she was welcomed or not. Keyara came up behind Cutler and spoke into his ear; “This is no reef. It’s something far worse.”

[[yay!!]]

Aurora's head rolled to the side so that she was looking out of her jail cell, those brown eyes following Oliver. Oh yes, she remembered him from that fateful year ago when he had lead her down the familiar path that these two new girls were now taking. He looked much the same and she hated him! Brows furrowed slightly in anger as they walked past her cell, trying to subtly listen to the conversation.

Your Kind What was that supposed to mean, she wanted nothing more than to reach out and strangle the man, but she kept her composure and only her muscles tensed beneath the beige tunic and deep brown petticoat.

Running a hand through her slightly tangled blonde curls, she strained her neck slightly to see if she could see those two girls, but it seemed like she didn't have to because they were in the cell caddi-corner from her. Waiting until Oliver left she moved a bit closer to the iron bars, leaning her forehead against the cool material before speaking.

"And what brought you two here, if you don't mind me asking"

[ Welcome Pandora! :) Nice character you have there ;)

Ara- oh oh.. don't make Ed die because we still need to save him :P I'll make something up, hope it will be okay :) ]

Curiosity overtook Sam for a moment as she starred at the note in her hands. Why would Vari have given it to her that afternoon? Had she foreseen anything? Was she meant to deliver this message whatever this was?
She noticed Edward's strength weakening and called over to Carmon and Cole who obviously had no clue what to do with themselves. "Ain't any of ye have anything to get this bullet out with?" she grimaced "Else it will be a messy job to be sure.." Sam was torn between haste and delay. She wanted time to stand still, to keep this moment yet she knew that time was running out for Edward. Slowly she unfolded the note and immediately she recognised the curly handwriting of Vari. She quickly scanned the letter, having sometimes difficulties with reading since the only learnt had a rather late age. Then she read it out loud to Edward, while letting go of his hand.
    Dear Edward,
    I write this to you know for I know that in the future we will meet again. If not by words I want to let you know by this note that my heart belongs to you. You mean more to me than I ever showed. I love you Ed with all my heart, my soul, my life. We'll meet again soon
    Always yours, Vari

Sam's voice cracked at the last two words. Feeling utterly confused she looked at Edward. Did he know from this? Did he share her feelings. Silently she averted her eyes, a blush creeped up her cheeks and she didn't know what to do with herself.
"Cole" Sam repeated with an unsteady voice. "Do ye have anything.."

(hehe, Aurora is great, Pan! :)
and I is back!!! :-D)

By this point Carmon was in tears. She had collapsed into her brother's arms weeping. Weeping because of death, weeping for fear, weeping with regret that anything ever happened. Cole tried hard to console her while trying to gulp down the lump that had been growing in his own throat. He felt like he might throw up, but he knew he needed to keep it together. He gently let Carmon down onto the forest floor beside Ed, and so leaving blood all down the front of her blue satin dress from his soaked shirt. He thought for a minute, fished through his pockets and sighed in reply to Sam, "no, I don't," he said simply. It seemed as if there was no hope now. "you're a pirate. You carry things like this. Not me." he looked over at her, guiltily. He glanced down at Edward and his sister. "We need to get him to a doctor. It's his only chance," he said at last and it came out very silently.

_____________

Mr. Jansen came fuming into his house only to find many of the prized glass dishes broken, the wood chipped by bullets, and wounded men and blood all over the place. He walked over to where the Commodore sat, "glad to see you're ok. Unfortunately you only captured two of them. Only two, Commodore Norrington. That means there's who knows how many of 'em still running around! And you left my house a mess while you were at it. I expect to be reimbursed for that." he glared at the officer, his words coming out much like he was scolding a small child.

________________

Emma rubbed her wrists as the irons were removed. It amazed her how horrible and hurting those things could make one feel. Being restricted and bound in a single place for too long was extremely painful, she thought. She leaned against the bars as the heavy door was shut behind Oliver. She watched him go away and didn't turn around even when Vari started talking. She raised her eyebrows at the last comment about animals in a cage, but she kept her own thoughts to herself and continued to stare out at freedom. "hm," she finally said while turning around and facing the bleak cell, "well, let's just hope the others are ok and can spring us out." Emma jumped at the sound of someone else's voice coming from another cell. She turned, let her eyes adjust to the light of the other cell before she could make out the form of another woman... one with blonde hair.

____________

Cutler hesitantly turned around to face Keyara with a look that said "do not disturb". Who did she think she was? Did she think she knew everything about everything? Of course this wasn't a bloody reef. He knew that now that he had deducted facts and reason and the stories he had heard. There was only one thing it could be. But was he really going to flat out tell the officers that this was a creature everyone thought was mythological? No, he was not. However, he was still not sure as to how they were going to break out of the grasp of whatever-it-was. He shook his head and barely kept from rolling his eyes at Keyara as he moved on to some of the other sailors, trying to get as far away from her as was possible. He sighed, exasperated by these foolish men. Inside he felt like ripping his hair out, but on the outside his appearance remained the same. Just as if he was at a social gathering, drinking tea and talking small talk.

(no Will this time, I guess… :erm: )
