Ransacking

[~*¤elizabeth¤*~]

Elizabeth tore into her own house, startling the maids and butlers. They seemed to have no idea what was happening. Elizabeth paused. Her house was near the Governor's; it was close enough for them to hear the cannonfire.

There are pirates in Port Royale; what are you doing standing around?

Elizabeth yelled, and the servants stopped to stare at her.

I suggest you make your way to the fort immediately!

Elizabeth turned to Liana and KC.

Someone go upstairs. The second room on the left is mine. I have a balcony; you should be able to see out far enough to know if there are any pirates around. And someone else can come with me and grab the explosives and weapons.

[~KC~]

I'll go upstairs, KC said quickly, and without waiting for a response, she ran upstairs.

She made a few pits stops upstairs, checking rooms for any more unaware maids. Surprisingly, there was quiet a few.

There are pirates in Port Royale! she yelled at them. You need to get to the fort now! Seeing her angry demeanor, the maids were quick to comply.

KC reached the second room on the left and walked in. the room as large, with a fancy bed with gold posts and laced sheets. The cupboards and closets were wooden and shining, just recently being cleaned. At the other end of the room was a large door that acted as a window as well. She opened and walked out onto the balcony.

She could see as far as the harbor, where a dark ship with black sails was floating. Pirates were still coming off of it and entering Port Royale. The area around the harbor was full of running people and screams. Some buildings were on fire as well.

she looked around the area of the manor, checking for pirates nearby. She spotted a group approaching the manor, and KC went to tell Elizabeth...but then they turned and went into her home instead.

Elizabeth rummaged through her father's office downstairs. Pistols were hidden everywhere in his desk and throughout the room, and she changed her clothes while she was there, too. She dressed in black pants ((think Ana in Van Helsing)) and a black shirt ((my siggy!)). Then, she continued ransacking her own house, grabbing a cord of leather to tie her coin to it, forming a necklace.

Liana smiled as she walked into elizabeth's room holding handfuls of random objects and gunpowder

I have to say, your father does have some good taste in wepontry...

[~KC~]

KC walked back into Elizabeth's room from the balcony. She saw Liana there, holding many explosive devices.

The pirates just went into my house next door, probably looking for you and Elizabeth.

She walked toward the door. I'd like to go over there and make sure none of my family is in there.

[liana]

KC. I think you had better stay with us.

[~KC~]

I plan to. But if it's not too far out of your guys' way, I'd like to have some company over, she said, half joking.

[liana]

Alright, it's not like we have anywhere to go.

[~KC~]

Thanks...We should meet up with Elizabeth downstairs.

The two made their way downstairs and into Elizabeth's father's office.

Elizabeth, we need to go to my house quick, and make sure none of my family is there. Pirates just went in...we're just next door.

[liana]

Yes. We'll be back soon, if not check my tavern.

[~KC~]

Elizabeth nodded. The two ran outside and turned up the road to see Colin running toward them.

Colin! KC yelled. How is everyone at the fort?

[Colin]

Colin frowned, "Dead, i'm afraid. Bodies everywhere..."

[~KC~]

KC gave him a questioning look.

And Elizabeth's father? Mine? My step mother?

[Colin]

Colin shook his head, "All dead..."

[~KC~]

KC looked down at the ground, her eyes closed. She couldn't let this get to her. She swallowed her sadness and looked up at Colin and Liana again.

Should we tell Elizabeth? she asked.
