[[Mind if we bring Norrington to the mansion shortly? If not, I’ll gladly edit this post. :) ]]

“It’s a long story, Lot,” Edward said hurriedly. If they didn’t escape soon, they’d all be caught.

“Well, if we’re plannin’ on going unnoticed through Port Royal, we’d best get ye two dressed up,” Vari said to Lotty and Edward. She made her way over to Cole’s closet and pulled out two long-sleeved shirts and vests and two pairs of newly ironed breeches. “Here, put these on.” Heading towards the door, Vari added, “I’ll need a moment to fetch my effects in Carmon’s room. Go out through the window - don’t wait for me.” Then, she left.

Edward looked down at the clothes Vari had handed him. He and Cole were more or less the same size, although they would probably be too big for Lotty. Sighing, he began changing. “Pardon me, ladies.”

~

Vari grabbed her pistol and other trinkets from under Carmon’s bed and made her way to the stop of the stairs. She stopped and listened to what was going on. Sam and Emma were doing a wonderful job of keeping Jansen distracted.

Vari descended the steps quickly, pulling out her own pistol. Mr. Jansen was eventually going to figure out her true identity, so why not help him along with it. After all, they were leaving now anyway, so did it really matter? “I must say, I had quite a wonderful time in yer house, Sir. But I believe we best be leavin’.”

As soon as she reached for the front doorknob, a knock came from the other side…

-----------

[[Aye, that be the plan, mate. ;-) ]]

Keyara nodded. “I did, sir.” She looked down, running her hand across the smooth wood. “So, what plan of action is there today?” Keyara looked up curiously, green eyes full of interest.

Aye... I know, Ara. ;) I'm gonna try to post tonight... :)

EDIT:

(than that means I’ve done my job well, Will. :happy:)

"Aye," Emma added. They had finally come to the bottom of the stairs and they were now in the hallway leading to the door. She looked over at Sam, waiting to hear what they should do next. She wanted badly to shoot the man, but she knew if they did they would bring a torrent of servants down on them. She peeked around a doorway to see if anyone was in there who might be listening in on them. She quickly turned back when she heard Vari join them. "But, unfortunately for you, we can just leave ye hear." she glared at Jansen.

Mr. Jansen glared daggers at Vari. The little wench, he thought. He looked around the room for something, anything. He noticed Vari had distracted the other two pirates. Quick as a wink, he grabbed Sam, wrenched her gun out of her hand and pointed it at her...

(ok, this would be the perfect time to have Norrie come! And, Will, if you don't want Jansen to get a hold of Sam I can for sure change it. :yes: I just thought it might be fun... but as I said I can change it to Emma.)

_______________

Before Charlotte could say a word, Vari was shoving a pair of breeches and a shirt in her face. "huh...?" she looked down at them and then over at Edward. "bu..." however, before she could say anything Vari was gone and Edward was beginning to put the clothes on. Charlotte hurried into the closet and shut the door and began putting the over-sized clothes on.

__

Carmon quickly hurried out of the room as Edward began dressing and Charlotte disappeared into the closet. She stood, her back to the closed door, thinking. She glanced around the hallway and wondered what she should do. things were all happening to fast, but they might need food, or something. She ran to her own bedroom and began collecting some of her things. Just in case. She wasn't sure what would happen next with these pirates.

______________

"No," Cole glared, "but who else was I going to ask?" He was trying to keep his calm but she was becoming less help than she was worth. "why would I help you escape? I'm no pirate. I only wanted to know one thing." he whispered as softly as his rising temper would allow. At that moment, Cole noticed the Commodore had grown quiet. He wondered what the other man was thinking, and when he got the answer he wasn't at all satisfied. "I never said that, sir." he paused, "if you'll just listen to me." suddenly, they rounded a bend and the Jansen/Applegate mansion was right in front of them.

___________

With his eyes still on the ocean, Lord Beckett answered, "I believe at some point later today or tomorrow we will be docking at Port Royal." Beckett thought about his plan of action once on Port Royal. His mind drifted away as he ran over where he should go when there, what he should say, yes, it was all going to go perfectly. A quick smiled spread across his face, but he was quick to cover it when he realized he wasn't alone.

(( That's ok PD, that will be interesting :) Lol I love chaos! ))

Sam turned around, for a moment patrified by Vari's words. What was she doing? Didn't Vari understand they had to buy the others time? Everything was under control.. In this short moment of confusion Jansen took his chance and grabbed her gun. Sam cursed outloud and she drew one of her tiny daggers. "Bravo" Sam scoffed. "What are ye waitin' for? Are ye too afraid to use a gun?"
The words just came out of her, she tried to insult him though she didn't realise that pissing the guy off could cause even more danger but in the mean time her mind raced over other thoughts: someone was walking towards the door..

------

Norrington dismounted his horse and ignored Cole's last few words. He ordered 2 men to guard the door as the 2 others accompanied each one prisoner to the door. James sighed and he stopped in fron of the door. He glanced at Cole behind him and wondered whether he was doing the right thing. Then he shook his head. Cole was a pirate and his life he'd devoted to purifying the Caribbean of them. Pirates, like Sparrow ruined lifes of others.. his life. And with these thoughts James knocked firmly on the wooden door.

She rolled her eyes. "They all say that," she said in annoyance. "Applegate, I am willing to help you. But if you believe yourself so competent of pirates and piracy, then you must know that all pirates expect compensation for their help. I have many contacts, although his Blackhaven that you speak of is not among them. However, I am sure one of them must know him. I certainly shall help you if you shall help me. I refuse to return to prison."

Vari aimed her pistol at Mr. Jansen’s chest the moment he grabbed Sam. “Harm her and ye’ll be the one layin’ lifeless on this ‘ere floor.” With her hand still on the knob of the door, she opened it slowly to see just who it was that had such terrible timing. But as soon as the door moved aside to reveal an all-too familiar face, Vari wished she hadn’t opened it in the first place. Cursing inwardly, she smirked, “Ah, Commodore Norrington, it’s been far too long.”

-----------

Edward had finished buttoning the vest when he noticed that Carmon had left. Now finished, he found a tie on Cole’s nightstand and used it to pull his messy hair back. He knocked gently on the closet door. “Almost finished Lotty? We need to hurry,” Edward reminded her. His mind was swimming with all that had just happened, but there was no time to waste if they were going to escape without being captured by Mr. Jansen -- or worse…

-----------

Keyara nodded slowly, looking him over. Drawing in a deep breath she spoke. “There is… a box in my cabin… a music box to be exact, quite intricate in design… which looks as though it’s not been touched for quite some time.” She paused briefly, glancing at the bright pink clouds lingering above the horizon. “…and I was curious as to its owner.” Now Keyara’s eyes were back on him, waiting for some kind of response.

(okie dokie... glad you're cool with it, Will. :))

Jansen gave Sam the 'don't test me because I will' look, but he was distracted by Vari. "but I'll take your little pirate friend with me." he scoffed at her, "although pirates are only out for themselves aren't they? so you wouldn't care." He glared at her, but quickly wiped it from his face as the door opened and he recognized Commodore Norrington.

Emma jumped when Mr. Jansen grabbed Sam. And as she heard him and Vari talk she was quickly turning livid. She pointed her pistil right at him and was about to add to what Vari said when the other woman opened the door. Oh, but Emma wanted to tell this curr off! How could he assume or say such things!? He was no better than a pirate himself. "Oh," she turned around as the door opened and stared at Norrington.

__

darn, Cole thought as he heard Alex admit to not knowing Edward, well, this is really a fine, unnecessary mess. But he didn't have time to respond to her offer of help. They were already there, at the Applegate/Jansen mansion.
Cole wished Norrington would say something, anything at all was better than this. He glanced over at the guard stationed with him and tried to think of something he could do. This was his last chance, right? But it was too late, the door was opening. He blinked with astonishment as he looked around Norrington and saw three pirates and his step-father.

_____________

Charlotte fussed with the breeches and the shirt, trying to get them to fit properly. She sighed with frustration as she heard Edward, "and what exactly is the purpose of me wearing these bloody clothes anyway?" she stepped out of the closet and glared at him. "they make me look just like my other ones do. Only at least my other ones stay on me!" she yanked her breeches up as she said this and scowled. "still look pirate-y..." she muttered.

___

Carmon walked out of her room with her little pack in hand and scurried back to Cole's door. She gave it a knock and whispered, "are you two done? I hear something going on downstairs."

_____________

Lord Beckett remained quiet for the longest time, thinking and maybe even reflecting. At last, his eyes slowly moved from the horizon to her. He gazed at her for the longest time, it was a piercing kind of gaze though, one that would seem like it could almost read someone's very soul. "a music box?" he quickly forced what he had been thinking out of his mind and he began to act uninterested. "why do you bring this to my attention? I'm sure it's one of the sailors. Given to them by a loved one, perhaps?" he stared into the sunrise without another word. And she wouldn't get another word on it either, he determined.

Alex rolled her eyes. He's no use at all. She sighed and looked at her shackles. She had no pin this time. She had dropped it on the way to prison the first time. As she glanced up, she noted the four. She knew none of them, but by the look on Applegate's face, he probably did. She hadn't been following his conversation with Norrington, therefore could not say for certain.

Will stared at Elizabeth, a slow smile spreading across his face. He was flattered that she might want him to teach her how to use a sword when her father could get her the best sword master there was. "of course, Elizabeth." he gazed at her for a moment longer before pulling his eyes away and glancing back down at the floor.

Elizabeth smiled wide and hugged him unabashedly. "Thank you, Will!" she squealed. "When do you suppose we could start lessons?"

(only Will til the rest can post! :-D)

Will slightly blushed, he wasn't sure how to respond, well, he did know what to do, but he still felt slightly uncomfortable for some reason. However, he did return the hug. "We could start whenever you want." he gazed into her brown eyes and smiled warmly.

EDIT: (And I have been meaning to say... PotR, I think it's about time you started bringing Jack in! ;) :-D)

Elizabeth grinned, feeling her heart quicken as Will's brown eyes met hers. "Do you suppose we could start today?" she asked, slipping her hand into his. "Right now?"

(it tis perfectly alright, Will! :hug: don't sweat it at all... now I'm gonna just continue the Willabeth story since we have some catching up to do anyway. :))

Will smiled at her, however he couldn't help but quickly glance around the room in a nervous way. He wondered where the Governor was and if he would mind. But finally he nodded at her and at that time he also noticed her hand in his. He didn't say anything and left it at that, but he wasn't quite sure if they should go or say something or what was quite proper. Ugh, he wished something would just happen. Although he knew she didn't mind things that weren't proper, he still felt he should make some attempt. Wait, no he shouldn't. That was the mess that caught him before he met Jack. Finally he broke his chain of thoughts and the silence, "of course, Elizabeth."

((Thanks PD! You guys are the best :-D ))

The Commodore blinked for a moment: the door was opened by the same pirate he'd met the day before. In a blink of an eye he pulled his gun and entered. "What is going on here mr Jansen?" he commanded and with a wave of his arm he made clear that his men had to bring in the prisoners. "Well..?"

--

Sam gasped as the Commodore entered the Jansen mansion toggether with two soldiers and two bound pirates. Things couldn't go worse. She drew her sword pointed it from the Commodore to Jansen. "We captured a dangerous man, sir" Sam replied with some wit and she quietly wondered what was to happen next.

Pirates? Alex thought to herself. Here? She glanced at the mansion and raised an eyebrow. What would pirates be doing here. She could only hope that one of them would spring her.
