Maybe later once this night is over. Are you sure that you're alright?

KC shook her head.
I won't lie. I'm not alright. But I can't let this get to me. No use mourning when I could help save other lives.
She smiled weakly. But thanks for your concern.

Liana shook her head
What do we do now?

Well...first I think we should get Elizabeth...then decide what to do from there. She's in her father's office, she added, so Colin knew what was going on.
She heard the sound of shattering glass from upstairs in her home. She looked up and saw a pirate's back to the window.
We better get inside and back out before they see us.

((Colin orphaned me!!! *sob* lol))
Elizabeth watched her friends run to KC's house, and she quickly resumed ransacking her own. Stuffing what she could in a large sack, she tossed it over her shoulder. She had a knife in her boot and another at her thigh. A pistol relaxed in a holster at her waist, and she had enough ammo to create a nice fireworks display. Her sword was also at her waist. Glancing once more around the room, she made another quick run around the house. She wanted to make sure noone else was there. Finally, she ran towards KC's house.

((It's ok, he orphaned me, too!!))
The group turned to head back into the manor. Once they were all in, KC closed the door and locked it, in case the pirates got there before they got out.
Elizabeth had a sack over her shoulder and was just at the door when the group got in. She looked up and smiled when they saw them.
We found Colin, KC said, pointing out the obvious. There was still a bit of shaking in her voice.

Oh! Colin, I'm so glad you're safe! We thought...well...we weren't certain.
Elizabeth sighed with relief and smiled, stepping forward to hug Colin hello; she motioned to the sack.
Nice little arsenal here to stall them.
((talk about guilt trips...woo!!! lol))

We figured, even if they can't die, we can sort of "stun" them for a few moments, by blowing them up or something like that. That way, it'll make...whatever we're going to do...a lot easier to do, she explained to Colin.
She looked to Elizabeth. We should look for survivors, get them somewhere safe...if there is a safe place left in Port Royale.

There's...a place I don't think the pirates will know about....
Elizabeth chewed her lip, thinking of her private place and how it wouldn't be private anymore.
It's far...but if we can get the wounded on horses, we should be able to make it there relatively quickly.... We should go to the courtyard and see if there's anyone alive there, too.
Elizabeth paused, listening to the screams.
Maybe we should just take a few people for now, and ensure that we save at least a few lives.

KC gave Colin a worried look. They had not planned for Elizabeth to know about her father until the raid was over, and it wouldn't matter if she broke down. KC knew Elizabeth to be able to handle pain, but she wasn't sure about how she'd handle her father's death. She had been barely able to contain herself when she found out about her father.
Umm...let's look around here first, to make sure we don't miss anyone nearby, she suggested, hoping to stall their visit to the courtyard.

Good idea,
Elizabeth nodded, glancing around once.
Let's start in the nearby houses.

KC nodded, satisfied that she had succeeded in stalling. She looked at Liana, who looked ready to go, then to Colin, who gave her a look that told her he knew what she was up to.
Ready to go? she asked the two of them.

((I'm good at being oblivious...seriously))
Elizabeth smiled. Then, she ran to the nearest house, knocking on the door.

The door opened, and a young couple appeared in the doorway.
Pirates are attacking Port Royale. We're here to get you to a safe place. Elizabeth knows the way.

Elizabeth waited for the group to grab a few necessities. Then, they moved on to the next house. They only had a small group so far, but Elizabeth wanted to make sure they'd all arrive safely. So, making sure everyone was ready, Elizabeth found herself leading a group of the very people who'd often chided and gossiped about her to safety, saving their lives.
