The sun rose of the beautiful island of Lunaverius(couldnt think of anything...) the water sparkling as if there was gold in the water. The sun then hit the beautiful house of the governor a young girl wearing a white corset and petticoat her red hair billowing in the sea breeze. The young girl seam to be gazing out at the sea watching ships pass by and dock on the island. Fanning her self she just watched as people mostly men got off the ships and walked on to the island.
"Anna?!" Yelled a gentelman's voice, the young girl turned around rather quickly her red hair whipping around her face. "Coming Father." She yelled she turned her back to the beautiful view and walked into her room. Seeing her father in her room with two boxes in his arms. "Happy birthday my darling rose." Anna smiled and walked over to the boxes taking them from him and setting them on her bed. She opened the one from her father first already having an idea as to what it was.
She threw lid off with excitement and she pulled back the tissue seeing a beautiful sword the handle was gold with silver roses etched into it and green emerald in the center. On The blade was her name engraved. "EEEK!" Squealed Anna "Oh THANK YOU FATHER!" She said running to him and hugging him tightly. Micheal chuckled "your welcome dear. Want to give her a try?" Anna pulled away with a smirk, she back away and pulled the sword out of the box. She took a fighting stance and waited for her father to initiate the fight. The two began to sword fight their swords clinking and clanking. "aha you've gotten better. And your mutch faster." Micheal said with a smile.
Anna giggled and jumped on a chair still fighting with her father. Her mother stormed in after hearing the two fighting. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING! Get dressed immediately, you have to be at the commidors coronation. Stop fighting with your father!" She said stamping her foot on the wood floor. Anna rolled her eyes "yes mother." she said with a sigh and jumped off the chair. Knowing that her mother's present was a dress she opened it and took it out. It was beautiful she had to admit but she hated wearing dresses. One of the female servants came in and took the dress opening it for Anna to step into it. She got dressed and her the servant did her hair.
Time past and they headed to coronation Anna was extreamly bored she stood the fanning her self watching the soldiers as she was told to do. She looked over to her mother and saw that she a bit distracted by her husband Anna slowly backed away from the crowd and walked up to the top of the castle she looked out a the sea wishing she could be sailing on it. "You look wonderful like an angel" said a rather confident sounding voice. Anna rolled her eyes and turned to look at the owner of the voice. And to her "surprise" she saw the young boy she was to marry.
"Look Edward dont try anything fresh with me got it! I know how to sword fight." She said glaring at him. The boy walked up to her backing her up into the wall. "your so feisty I like that in a women." He said with a growl. Anna finally backed up into the wall but the wall was shorter then she thought and she fell over the edge. Anna fell threw the air screaming she fell into the water because of the fact that her dress was so heavy she went straight the bottom of the water. She was unable to swim up to the top of the water and lost her breath because of her corset.

((Wow, that sounds sooo much like the opening of the first PotC )) The Shark was out into the see away from the traffic of the busy port, towards east to hid in the glare of the sun if anyone looked in that direction. Julian stood with the sun to his back, looking at two shps in particular through his spyglass. The commodore's fleet was stationed in the port, not good. There was no way to get through a seige of the port and succeed. He saw a rock outcrop near the port that the ship could easily hide behind if in fact they could make it there without getting noticed. That wasn't going to happen in broad daylight either. But he knew that this town had supplies that was sought after not just by the 'free-trade' or pirate ports but the government controlled ports as well. They all wanted it and he would get it one way or the other. "What shall we do cap'n. We can't take them two ships and the castle on our own...", his first mate voiced the opinion of the crew. Yes, his crew feared him but they trusted him not to play with their lives and gives them the riches the pirate life promised if they didn't mess up. And he had so far. Julian spoke, "Well, we can't... not right now. But we will tonight." He smiled slightly as a plan began to form in his mind. He turned to his first mate, a giant, strong man by every standard, Brent and the crew around him. He explained to them what he had in mind and what exactly he wanted them to do. They were just pirates but they understood what they were supposed to do and that was enough for them. As long as they carried out their part of the mission, they should succeed. He took out his pistol and swords and gave them to Brent then took the rowboat and headed alone towards the port. The ship would come to the outcrop near the port at night and disable, not destroy the commodore's ships. He was very strict on that even though the others didn't understand why. Why he went now, unarmed, probably to get jailed (and later to be released by his crew when they laid siege to the port) was to try and get the idea where the goods were stored so they could find it easily rather than wast time on trying to search for it when the time came. He had just crossed the outcrop and was just about finishing tying the boat to the dock when he looked up suddenly and saw a woman screaming and falling through the air. She hit the water and sank like a stone. He wanted to avoid the exposure he would get if he did try to save her and waited for someone else to do it. But they all just stood and watched. He sighed and jumped into the water thinking, there went his plan to find out where the goods were going to be stored at night. He reached her easily and looked around to figure out what it was that was keeping her from surfacing. He realized after a second that it was the elaborate dress. She was beautiful, it was evident even under the water. She had to be someone from a well off family he guessed. In the meantime he struggled to get the dress off her. She was wearing a corset and a gown under it. As soon as her body was released from the dress her body started rising. He pushed off from the sandy floor and brought her up and finally onto the wooden dock with considerable effort. He breathed deeply as he snatched the knife from the belt of one of sailors that had come to watch uselessly. Julian then cut the corset from the woman, held her nose and breathed into her mouth through his, to try and get her breathing going again.

[[lol i know i couldnt really think of anythng its from a fan fic of mine and friends]] Once Anna regained contentiousness she gasped for air. The fist person she saw was the commodor and her eyes narrowed and she got up. She then saw the young man who saved her life and she got an idea a smirk tugged at her luscious pink lips. Anna turned her head to the man but before she could speak the commodors men had swords at pointed at Julian. "This Man assaulted Miss Couso SEIZE HIM!" Yelled Edward.
Anna turned quickly towards Edward "No he did not I fell of the edge of the castle and he saved me. I will be your date to the corrination ball this evening if you promise not to hurt him!" She said immediately. A smirk came across Edwards face "Very well put him in the Jail. Even though he saved my dear Anna..." he grabbed Anna's arm and pulled her close to him he put his arm around her waist. "I dont trust him out and about." The commodors men handcuffed him and took him the to the Jail house.
Miranda Couso (anna's mother) came running with her husband "Anna! Honey are you ok I heard that you fell of the castle." Said the woman franticly. Edward walked up to her with Anna in hand "She did but I saved her. And as a reward she has offered to be escort to the corrination ball." He said with smirk. Miranda smiled "Oh thank you so much Thats wonderful!" Said as she took Anna from Edward "come we must get you a dress...in fact you can wear one of mine. No wait will just get you an entirely new one!" Miranda was so excited to hear that daughter decided to go to the ball.
The night fell and Anna was in her room getting ready for the ball. As she was getting her corset tied she couldnt get her mind off the man who had saved her. He looked like pirate and was rather hansom. Her servant put on her new dress and tied the back as tight as possible but just lose enough for Anna to breath. The dress looked exquisite on her it complimented her green eyes and fiery red hair that was in the same hair style as it was that morning.
She walked down stairs only too see her mother father and Edward waiting for her. "You look wonderful!" Exclaimed her mother and father. Anna just smiled slightly as she walked down the stairs. Edward just smiled "Indeed" he said offering her his hand. She looked at her mother had a small black box in her hand. "I have one last thing for you my dear. It was my mother she was your age and then mine." She opened the box and inside was a green cameo necklace on a green velvet ribbon. Miranda put the necklace on her and smiled. Edward then offered her his arm and they headed towards the carriage.

((Sorry for the delay, this thread wasn't bookmarked for me so I didn't see your post till now. Oh and Edward is the commodore right? ))
Just as the girl coughed up water and started to breathe, he was pushed back off her and hit a barrel behind him, the only thing that stopped him from falling into the water, off the dock. He stood in a calm posture as the swords stayed pointed at him. Thankfully everyone was too busy with the commotion the commodore seemed to be causing, to notice his gaze lingering on the girl, would had offered to go to the ball to save his life.
It was pretty obvious she didn't want to go and the man was no more than a constant irritation to her. Her body language and tone was enough to tell him that. As he was taken away he could still remember her scent and the touch of her lips on his. He smiled, despite being where he was. Maybe he will go thank her once the Shark laid siege to this port and he was out of this hole they called 'jail'.
Midnight came too slowly for once as Julian waited patiently. He trusted his crew to go undetected until it was too late, especially with most of the people there at the ball and the rest of the guards drunk as a pirate at sea in absence of their superiors.
((That should give Anna the opportunity now right?))

Anna danced away pretending to enjoy her self. She could here the voices of the others commenting on her dress and how good she and commidor looked together. Once the time to dine came Anna was escorted by Edward to the banquet table. Where she was sat down beside him. The table was filled with food from poultry to ham. The was a plethora of deserts and fruits, people began to fill their plates food. The ate slowly and with grace it was almost like dance they would occasionally talk about their achievements and other pointless things. Anna just picked at her food she was unable to actualy enjoy the food for the fact that Edward was staring at her. She ate and listened to Edward ramble on about how great he was with occasional "you look lovely tonight or nothing is as beautiful as you. Except me." he would say with a chuckle. The night droned on when finally it was over Anna was glad that it was. Once everyone left Edward escorted his future bride to the door and gave her a small kiss on the cheek while his parents smiled at him and went to the bed chambers. When he saw the they were gone he pulled Anna close to him and kissed on the lips the seamed as if it had lasted hours but it was only a couple seconds. Anna pulled away and smiled and said "Thank you tonight was wonderful Edward." She said with happiness but on her head she completely disgusted.
She walked out the door and headed to the carriage once she heard the castle door close behind her she turned away from the carriage and headed to the castle's jail. The jail guard was passed out hugging a bottle of rum like it was a teddy bear. The keys were in his pocket but hanging out slightly. Anna bent down and grabbed them slowly from his pocket, she made sure not wake him. She had the keys in hand and unlocked the jail door lifting her dress as she walked down the stairs. As she passed by the cells the prisoners yelled at her and whistled. Ignoring them she headed to the very last cell and saw the man that had saved her life. "The hand cuffed look suits you." Anna said with a giggle as she grabbed on the of the bars of his cell the other hand dangling the keys.

Julian had closed his eyes and was resting on the floor. He got up when he heard a noise of someone walking towards the cell and the other inmates shouting things at her. As the girl came into view, Julian's face showed a surprised expression. This had suddenly become more complicated than he had expected it to be. She had risked a lot, coming down here to free him.
He smiled and took the key from her hand, opening his shackles and then proceeded to unlock the door of the cell. He walked out in front of the girl, Anna he remembered her being called earlier. He smiled again, gave a short bow. He took her hand in his and kissed it gently before speaking, "And I thought I would never get a chance to thank you for saving me from the noose... Anna. But here you are again, trying to set me free."
Julian smiled and spoke again, "The name's Croc...I will return the favor for this deed that you have done and promise you family will not be hurt and neither will you. Though you will have to forgive me as I would be... confiscating the precious goods your warehouses stores."

Anna raised an eye brow as took the keys once he freed him self from the cell she smiled and blushed as he kissed hand. "your welcome. And as for returning the favor you don..." her sentence was cut off by her father's voice "Anna I know your in her." He yelled from the door to the cells. Anna let a small sigh escape from her lips. "I have to go and as for the raiding of the village it might kinda hard Edward keeps guards all over this island. And leave ons shop unharmed and thats my father's sword shop. I must go but thanks again for saving me." Anna walked away and up the stairs her voice could be heard from the top of the stairs. "sorry father i was thanking the man who saved me again..." The door was closed And that was the last Anna would see of the pirate who saved her life. Or was it.
Later that night Anna was asleep in her bed she was awoken by a gun shot. She knew what it was and smirk tugged at her lips. She got out of bed wearing her night gown. She looked down the hall to see if her parents had heard anything they hadn't rushed out so she assumed the hadn't heard anything. She walked back into her room and out on to her balcony and watched as the village got raided by Julian's men. Watching the crew throw torches into the homes and shops. Anna bit her lip hoping that Julian would leave her father's shop unharmed. She could screams and glass breaking she watched as the villagers ran out of the homes.Nightgown

Julian smiled and watched the girl run back upstairs and heard the conversation. The guard died instantly as Julian made sure there would be no alarm. But that was it. He didn't try to follow and waited for the ship to show up. Very soon the night came alive with cannon fire from the darkness of the sea. It was the Blue Shark taking down the defensive cannons on the castle as the men came to the harbour in rowboats.
The task was almost carried out with military precision, the men themselves having seen what could be achieved if they all worked according to the general plan. But them being pirates property destruction and theft came with the 'job' and some people who resisted even got their houses burnt. But this was all a distraction as the men boarded the ships of the commodore and killed the minimal guard on the ships and disabled the rudders.
Brent entered the jail with a two men from the crew and was surprised to find Julian already outside. He handed the captain his hat and his weapons. Julian remembered the promise and quickly ordered that on any condition the sword shop is not to be touched, at all. And so it was ignored. "Cap'n we found the goods and they are being loaded on the Shark.
He walked out, calmly amidst the chaos and the burning houses around him, followed by Brent a few of the crew. As he passed the Mayor's house, he looked up and saw Anna standing in the balcony in the night gown. The men began to head towards the house. "No.", Julian ordered and that was it. There was another building that would be left alone. "Find me the commodore...", he told Brent and told the others to follow him, leaving him alone in front of the house. He tipped his hat at Anna and smiled.

Anna saw him greet her and she smiled she wanted to join him on his ship "The blue Shark." A small smirk came across her face she waved at Julian and walked back into her room. She grabbed her sword and a belt she made her room look as though it had been ransacked. And she was out the door she snuck through the hall and out the kitchen exit. She snuck out to the ship unseen and hid in the rum cellar. She waited there till the ship set sail away from her island.

He moved on, as she moved back into her room and soon found Brent. He was told that the commodore had barricaded himself in the tower of the fort. Julian smiled and commented, "Well, he saved us the trouble of locking him in then... Barricade the doors, then head back to the ship. The transfer of goods and then the return of the crew took about a hour more after which the Shark set sail. ((Feel free to post about your own discovery or however you want it to happen ))

Anna had soon fell asleep in a corner of the rum cellar. She wasnt aware the ship had set sail already. Once they had set out further into see one of the crew members decided to get a drink. He headed to the rum cellar and a figure sleeping in the corner. It was a girl he approached it carefully. Anna heard foot steps and woke up seeing the man standing above her she reached for her sword and leaped up ready to fight. "Ah it seams we have a stow away!" Said the man with a grin "let us see what the cap'n wants to do with ye. My guess is you'll be walking the plank and sleeping with the fishes." He said with a chuckle.
He reached for Anna's arm but Anna cut his arm as he reached for her. "ah your a little feisty one arent ye?" He said with smile as he handcuffed her hands taking her sword out her hand and slipping back in its sheath "come on now lets meet the cap'n." He took her hand and they walked out of the cellar. The man walked to the door of the captains quarters and knocked on the door. "Cap'n i think you better come out here. Seams we have a stow away. A young women." He said the other crew memebers chuckling at giving semi toothless grins and making kissing faces at her. One of the man pulled up the back of her nightgown with his rapier.
