The Black Sails of Deceit

[Jacky]

"Aye, I know, mate. Commadore died, wedding postponed, all that jazz" I assure him, thinking once again that Will does make a poor pirate if he always does things according to plan. "Now come along, if you don't want to cause more trouble."

[Daz]

"... you talk as if you had something to do with this..." he frowns "what trouble, jack? what have you done? what have I done?"

[Jacky]

I turn to face him and sigh impatiently. Honestly, I just want to keep him away from the mansion. Perhaps because it would make the pirates find him sooner.. but more likely because the further he is from Elizabeth, the less likely is it they find *her* instead. She tends to get mixed up in the lad's trouble, as it were.

"Now, William, why would you think *I* have something to do with this? I come here, my intentions white as snow, I get accused of killing the Commadore -god bless his name- and now my *very* best friend doesn't trust my judgement either." As if. "Are ye coming or not?"

[Daz]

"no."

[Jacky]

I shrug my shoulders. "Fine, then we'll do it the hard way." I tell him. I make a fist of my hand and then punch him hard, knocking him unconcious. As his body collapses onto the street, I shake my hand in pain, "Ow, you have one hard face, boy." I look around to see whether anybody's watching, but when nobody's there I take a hold of his legs and drag him into a nearest alley.

[Daz]

*unconcious*

"He's awfull late..." my father notes as he passes my way in the hall "... I hope nothing has happened to the poor boy."

"dont say that... he's fine.. just... late." I mutter

[Jacky]

I look at my piece of work; William tied up and still unconcious in the corner of the alley. It's regretful, really, but when it comes to saving your own skin one simply has to make some sacrifices. When the pirates arrive I'm sure they'll find him. Or if now, I'll be sure to help 'em a li'll.

The second I set foot out of the alley, a sudden roar of cannonfire is hear. A building that's on the hill a little gets smashed into smithereens with one single cannonball, and automatically my gaze darts towards the docks. I can see the outline of the ship vaguely before I hear another high whistling sound, and I have to dive away from debris flying from the building next to me. "WATCH WHERE YOU'RE BLOODY *AIMING*!" I shout uselessly, as I scramble back onto my feet.

[Daz]

I jump as a sudden roar of cannon fire is heard in the distance.
"will!" I scream and run to the door, only to be stopped again by the arms of my father
"No. Its not safe.. the navy can handle this.. let them do there job without having to worry about you for once!"
"Let me go! I have to help will.. let me go!" I cry as two maids escort me back to my room

[Jacky]

As more gunfire is heard the townspeople run out onto the street, mostly in sheer panic. I stand back a little as a few navy men run past without even noticing me. I tap my hat in a mocking salute to them, "On your way, gents."

As the mayhem increases, I decide to head mansion-wards.

[Daz]

By this time im banging on my bedroom door "LET ME OUT!" I shout, but its useless.
I look over to the windows and start to wonder how jack got up here last night..
