Connor Teach's Story

Connor woke up slowly his eyes pierced by the bright light of morning. He got out of his large bed and got dressed in his usual attire. He then grabbed his blunderbuss and put it over himself as it hung like a sash. He flung open the doors of his room and gazed out at the empty deck. He smiled as he went to the railing and looked out at the island they were going to rob completely under the noses. He did feel slightly bad about the bride as where she would be left at the alter or worse see her groom was a pirate. He wasn't sure on which to do although leaving her at the alter would be easier he did fear of her giving up and the guards finding them out.

He shook off the thought of him or his crew being captured. He hated it when anyone was taken from the crew, because of his motto 'No man left for dead less the whole crew goes down with too.' He rested his arms and sighed again at the sight of a rising sun against the island backdrop. He pulled out a pocket watch which read 6:30 a.m. "Eight" he said to himself as the wedding would be at three and he needed to drop off the boy at around one. He put it back then got transfixed by the thoughts of the mounds of treasure.

Selena was enjoying the sunlight on the deck of the boat, when she looked in the ocean and realized how hungry she was. However, she didn't want anything the ship had, she wanted to catch her own meal. So she striped off all her clothes and jumped into the water. Once she hit it, she got her tail back, and swam around happily until she found a swordfish that looked good. She did as she always did and sang her song, making the fish swim right next to her, where in which she immeadialty bit into the fish and ripped out a chunk of meat. She wasn't the most civilized, but she did enjoy herself some swordfish. After finishing off her still alive meal, she swam around the boat and found the stairs leading to the deck she always used when returning from the water.

She made her way quickly up the stairs, her legs returning shortly after she grabbed onto the first rung of the ladder. She just stood on the deck, still stark naked, but happy as a clam. She then nocited her captain wasstanding above her, so she waved to him, while serching for her clothes, "Hey, Captain Teach! Hope your day has started as well as mine." She said with a smile, as she wiped off the last of the blood from her face.

Connor was still in thought when he heard a splash. He knew it was Selena but he didn't mind her much. She was probably looking for food since she hated regular food. He was still in thought about a small house and a beautiful wife he would marry after he returned to Bath with his loot. "Hey, Captain Teach! Hope your day has started as well as mine." said Selena in her peppy attitude she had towards him as he turned and saw her naked then rolled his eyes. He was used to seeing the mermaid naked. "Well it was then you decided to go skinny dipping now get some clothes on and buck up we have a big day today." he said turning back around staring at the sun. "Anyone else awake yet, or just you?" he said wanting to get to the island fast so he could 'sample the wares before they took it all. It has a good economy fro such a small island but not for long.

Selena had finally found her clothing, and was in the process of putting them on. She didn't really like wearing clothes, but Captain had said she needed to in order to blend in and not cause a distraction. She laughed a bit when he mentioned her skinny dipping. "You know, I wouldn't mind some company down there." She teased, as her nature. But when the captain asked if anyone was awake, she responded, "Come on. How often is anyone awake before either of us?" The answer: Never, she always got up early to enjoy her water before they set sail, and Captain was up for some reason, although she didn't know it.

She put on her shirt at last, but was still soaking wet, although why should she mind it. "You don't think I know it going to be a big day, we are going to a wedding, you know I always cry at those, remember when we held up that one in Cuba, we made so much money, so much sparkly gold. Plus they had tasty meat." She smiled as she said all this, all the while getting closer to the captain, and was now standing behind him, leaning on the door to his room.

"WELL, LOOK AT YOU TWO, UP SO EARLY!!" Carmin said next to the mermaid, who was leaning on the door into her brothers room.

Carmin didn't particularly like Selena, she thought that the mermaid was just a wench who was planning to seduce her brother, and then drown him. "Pardon me Selena, I have to talk to my brother for a sec", she said to the mermaid.

Carmin took a few steps towards him, and asked in a serious tone, "alright, wedding. Everything planned out? Is mister cabin boy groom-heartbreaker ready? Y'know, this might be your biggest heist yet."

Connor rolled his eyes. "Yes I remember Cuba very nice but a distinct lack of silver but plenty of gold and a dress for sissy a bit blood stain but still nice anyways." he smirked then turned around and she his sister walking over. "Ah and speak of the devil." he said heartily. "Alright, wedding. Everything planned out? Is mister cabin boy groom-heartbreaker ready? Y'know, this might be your biggest heist yet." Connor turned and sighed. "Yeah everything should go as according to plan. Yeah he's still asleep, we have plenty of time don't worry." he said then turned and walked up to the helm and peered out and he moved the rudder forward towards the island.

Carmin watched as Connor walked up to the healm and moved the rudder towards the island. Carmin could feel a pain in her elbow, and she started to rub her bullet wound. It still hurt from time to time, but not as bad as it used to.

Carmin looked up at Connor from the deck. "Any orders, Connor?" she asked.

Carmin was sarcastic right back to Selena.

"Boiled, I guess. You wouldn't want to eat skin raw, with all the dirt, bacteria, MOLES AND WARTS" she said, intensely staring into Selena's playful looking eyes.

The mermaid then started to sing, causing fish to jump out of the water.

"Yes Carmin get out a few nets, Selena keep singing" Carmin could hear her brother say. Carmin made her way under the deck where the nets were kept. She came back up the stairs with a long brown net, and cast it into the water. As she looked down into the water, she answered Selena's question.

"I could barely sleep last night. I mean, if this whole shindig goes well, we'll be the richest pirates in all of the seas."
Carmin knew that if the plan was a success, her father would be proud.

Selena was enjoying singing, she always had. Her favorite thing to do was to order fish to do things while singing, which took a while, but was very fun. She was in the middle of a very high note, when she noticed the fin of a shark. Merpeople, unlike land ones, could tell an individual animal by something as simple as a fin, like how humans know dogs by their furs. She knew this shark, it was her pet, Nemo.

"Nemo!" She screamed, and started scrambling taking off her clothes, and after she took them off in record time, she swan dived into the ocean for the second time that day. Once in the water, her pet, a great white shark, began to nudge at her, looking for attention, "I missed you. Yes i did, yes i did. Did you miss mama?" She was talking to the shark like a baby or pet, because it was a pet to her. The shark only nudged up against her, and she began to scratch beside his dosil fins, and was continuing her baby talk, and gave it a kiss on the snout. "Nemo, wave to the captain." She said, and the shark turned to the boat and raised itself n the water, and waved its right front fin, like waving to someone in the distance.

Connor

Connor rolled his eyes as Selena jumped back into the sea. It was impressive though that she had a shark who could wave. Connor smiled and waved back. It was good to have a shark on your side and Connor never complained of Selena's pet. He then heard a familiar noise it was the 'groom-to-be.' "Mornin' Lover boy. Ya ready for your big day?" he asked enthusiastically as the ship went into port. It was empty much to his pleasure then Connor threw a pouch of coins worth about twice of a farmer's salary. "Go get something respectable to wear to yer' wedding then wait for the signal when were done." he said then motioned him to go away.

Luke

Luke nodded then picked up the pouch. "Aye" he said then rushed off the ship before he was seen by any of the natives. He rushed to a boutique trying to find a suit. He got one he liked quickly then put it on and made his way to the castle many thoughts rushing through his mind at once. He kinda did like the girl even though he was doing this just for his captain. He thought of a way he might be able to do both, marry the girl and get the treasure. He was lost in thought as he walked into the castle.

Connor heard Selena calling him and poked his head out the window. "Hey Captain. I'm going to follow lover-boy, promise I will not sing anyone to death, can I please go?" He sighed and nodded knowing she would get into trouble but he really wasn't in the mood for a headache today. "Very well but get some clothes on, if you have any type of formal dress at all wear it. You're going to a wedding not to play around." he said sternly. He was under a bit of stress but also needed to remember he was the captain so whatever went wrong could be traced back to him. He didn't want his reputation to be any less than his father's and he was mighty close to being that good and he would ensure it if he could pull this off.

"Yea!" Selena yelled when the captain told her she could go, although she had to wear something fancy to get in. That bummed her out a bit, but she was still excited even as she kissed Nemo goodbye and told him to be a good boy for the captain. She then climbed up the fimilar stairs and made her way to her 'room'. It was tiny, she didn't really even sleep on the boat, she just layed in the water, but she kept her most valuable things in there. She had found what she was looking for, a red and black dress that seemed to have been made for some type of celebration, because she found a weird headress that went with it, although it was pure black and white in the center. She put on her 'fancy' clothes, and she must have looked at least color-blind, although she couldn't tell, she never understood human's fasination with clothing.

She made her way out of her room and went to the captain, and said, "Hope I look good. I got exploring to do." She said with a huge smile as she hugged him, human greeting were hard for her too understand, although kissing was reserved for lovers, so she hoped this was the right expression. She quickly left, still-bare foot, and made her way to whatever building she could find. She just left a fishery, when she noticed someone dressed-up walking to the castle, he seemed to being having a hard time walking, so she assumed he was a merman, and she began to sing as she walked up to him, "Hello." She said sweetly, "You going to the wedding too, because I need a date." She said, knowing that there was only one reason to dress up today, and she didn't want to sing past the gaurds.

Carmin looked back at Connor, and she could tell he was stressed. She knew exactly why.
Carmin walked up to the helm, and put her elbow on her brother's shoulder.
"Hey, relax. you're fine. I'm sure dad's proud of you, wherever he is right now. just do your best, and it'll be fine."
Carmin looked back at Selena, and sighed.
"i still don't understand why you let her join your crew. just sayin. you know what, let's go start the mornin with two bottles o' rum, aye? or perhaps we could plan the....afterparty? I mean, what are we gonna do with all that fish?"
Carmin pointed to the net full of the fish and squid that she tied up and left on the deck.

Connor sighed. "Ah yes sister I need to calm down." "I still don't understand why you let her join your crew." Connor shrugged "She a valuable asset to my team. Having someone who can lure rivals and sink boats. Plus she's loyal the best kind of person." he said smiling. He then turned to the helm and decided to try to get close to the castle.



Luke made it to the castle after five minutes of walking. The guards stepped aside then smiled as Luke walked past. He looked into the room and instantly heard his 'mother in law'. She scared him slightly but he never showed it to anyone. He went through unseen as he made his way to where the ceremony would be held. He looked around seeing all of the gold and silver decor. It was brilliant even more than anything else he has seen. He was stunned alone in the room. He had been taught to stuff his pockets then get out before he is seen but it would be too risky so a better bet would be just to admire for a bit.

Connor sighed and walked to the deck and started to clip a few bags to his belt when. he noticed Selana's shark was still there. He picked up a fish and threw it at the beast who devoured it happily. Connor had an idea. "Nemo I want you to sink all the ships except ours. air you do it all give you all the fish you can eat. " the shark then went off under the water a d proceeded to sink them. Connor smirked then whistled. "Come on Carmin grab a few bags and get going were gonna pull this off. " he said then grabbed a rope as well knowing what he would do.



Luke was suddenly surrounded by his future in laws. The father seemed extremely eager to have him and his daughter married. Then there was the mother. She scared him slightly what with the bossing around. Connor did it too but he would have a reason.

He instantly hung his head when she mentioned parents. If they actually knew he was gonna marry a princess they would be elaighted. He shook his head and said lowly " I I'm an orphan ma'am "he said his voice sounding sincere. He then kept that position acting as if it was a risky subject.

Carmin was actually amazed that the shark was listening to Connor.
"why, if I knew that shark would actually listened to you, I wouldve ordered it to do a TON of things a while ago!" Carmin said. Although she was kinda angry that all the fish she caught were being thrown away to a shark, she couldntve been happier when one of the ships fell under the water. "I gotta get myself one of those" Carmin said to Connor.

Connor dashed off and saw the castle in view. "Come on" he said to his sister as he dashed up some vines to find himself in the halls. "Here we go." he said then heard nothing a sure sign they were alone. "Gotta find the vault." he said dashing around trying to find the vault.




“Greetings, Sir. Bachgen. I suppose today you shall be an orphan no longer. You’ll have my family to call your own from today on right?” Luke was stunned she was beautiful beyond belief. He voice was calm and elegant and her body walked ever so gracefully across the room. “Molly I told you to STAY…. In the Bride’s ROOM!! Heaven’s it’s bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the ceremony! Oh No!!!” Luke smiled and shook his head. "I have plenty of luck how else could I be able to marry a girl like Molly." he said happily. “Shall we be married Sir. Bachgen?” Luke bowed back to her "Yes we shall Ms. Bubois." he said butterflys in his stomach

"The vault? Okay" Carmin said as she followed Connor. Being in such a huge castle made Carmin's brain go crazy. It was so....big. There were so many fancy things all over the place, and Carmin wondered why no other pirates had tried infiltrating castles before. Every now and then, when Carmin found something that was small, she stuffed it in her pockets.

Carmin searched room through room, looking for some sort of vault, but she couldn't find any. She made her way back to Connor, and quietly said, "find anything yet?"

Connor was looking around hesitantly for the safe, they had plenty of time and they couldn't rush into it. "Find anything yet?" Connor shook his head then looked at a painting of the royals. It almost made him gag all the preparation and dresses, it was unbearable. He went to flip the painting over and he saw a small hole on the other side. He reached inside and found a small key. "Skelton key with the damn crest on it." he said but then though of something. He saw another inside and pulled it out. They were the same keys but the crest was different. He shrugged and put them in his pocket before continuing his search.

After about ten minutes of searching he came across a safe behind the book case. He pulled out keys but it was a number lock not a key lock. He thought for a moment then say the keys made two numbers 7 and 4. He put it in then quickly in the combination and opened the door and marveled at the mounds of gems and metals. "Sister we found it." he said sounding like a little boy finding his lost toy. He walked over to the window and peered out to see Selena and another boy. He had an idea and quickly grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and began to write.

Rydym yn gwneud bron. Rydym yn dod o hyd i'r ddiogel gwneud yn siŵr nad oes neb yn mynd yn y castell am ryw ddeng munud, yna byddwn yn mynd â chi.

He wrote it in welsh which he had been taught while doing some pludering over there and he knew Selena knew it too. Then he balled it up and threw it to the mermaid then ducked back hoping she would read the note.



“Shall we proceed into the sanctuary Sir Bachgen?” "Yes, sir." he said as he started to walk over.

“I do hope that all of your guests have arrived Sir Bachgen. I would like to start the ceremony soon. Is there anything you would like to request?”[/i] Luke shook his head again. He knew everything was perfect. He even thought about telling a guard he saw something in the castle as to where Connor and Carmin would be caught and he could marry the princess. He knew he wouldn't the man was like an older brother to him and no matter how strong treason was a reason for giving him the penalty. Sent to an island with nothing but a single shot. He shuddered and tried to focus on his blushing bride instead of death.

Selena was sitting with Phillip when she felt something hit her head. She looked around to see who threw it, but she couldn't see anyone within range. She then decided to look in the note, making sure Phillip didn't see. When she opened it, she easily recognized the hand-writing, it was the captains.

The note told her to stall everyone for around ten minutes and that if she wanted to take Phillip, she had to make sure he could be trusted, which she didn't know how he would respond, although seeing how they were robbing his friend blind, probably badly. She needed a way to distract everyone, when she got an idea.

Her idea was simple, she got up from where she and Phillip were sitting, and she ran up to the alter, to were Luke was, but his bride was still not in, so she went up to Luke, and said into his ear, so only he could hear, "I hope you are ready for the song of your life." She chuckled a bit before turning to everyone else in the Chapel, and saying very loudly, "Good day, everyone. I know you were looking forward to seeing the wedding, but I must say, this is one of the most beutiful places I have ever seen." She said, dramatics were well within her personality, "My name is Selena, for those of you who do not know, and I am a mermaid. It is tradition in my culture that we sing the song of true love before the wedding is started, so if the people playing the instuments would start up again." She said waving to them, and they started, fortunatly the beat was simple, but the song took around 12 minutes to complete, and it was a duet. "If I could get my new friend, Phillip, could you help me sing these two into their new life as husband and wife?" She said and extended her arm to him, knowing even he must know that song, everyone learned it when they were young.
