Connor Teach's Story

Carmin followed Connor into the vault. Her eyes glistened at all the treasure. After Connor wrote the note, Carmin looked out the window and listened as Selena started to say that she was about to sing a song. Carmin's face turned red. She was trying to hold in a laugh.
Softly chuckling, Carmin asked Connor, "what on earth did you write on that note?"

Connor

Connor smirked hearing Selena singing. He continued filling the bags until they were filled up with the metals and gems. He heaved them onto his back with ease. "What on earth did you write on that note?" "To distract isn't there anything more entrancing than a beautiful woman singing. Not that you have ever had to be distract anyone in a positive way." he said snickering. He did like to get under his sister's skin occasionally but not too often since she was an asset. He threw a few bags at her feet. "Come on we gotta get em." he said starting outside.

Luke

"I hope you are ready for the song of your life." Luke shuddered and a chill went down his spine. He didn't know she was on the island let alone at the wedding and standing on the altar. He listened to the the song thoroughly thinking it was a plan made up by Teach. He was at ease and it did seem to take the edge off him. When Mrs.Dubois motioned for them to stop Luke panicked on the inside. He knew everything was planned to the wire but all that he could hope for was the ceremony would take too long and the Captain would be there to get him and Selena out of here. Before he broke the girl's heart to much.

Connor

Connor heard the bells and knew that the boy was in trouble. Connor quickly pulled out his blunderbuss, made sure it was loaded then quickly put it back. He didn't like to use it until he had to kill and he wasn't going for a kill this time just more of a threat and maybe a killing. He pulled out two . He knew to get these guys to their knees he had to be precise if he were to leave this place, crew intact. He pulled out his beauties. They were experimental revolvers but they worked just fine for him, since he could handle the kick with ease. He loaded all five barrels giving him ten shots in total then he waited for one line. "..if anyone objects to this marriage, let them speak now or forever hold their peace..." said the priest. Connor turned the corner and shot into the air. "Hello " he said evilishly.

Luke

Luke panicked beyond belief when the wedding started. He knew the Connor would come in but he still had the fear in the back of his mind. He looked out and saw nothing which scared him shitless. When he heard the silent clatter of bullets being loaded which he was trained to do he sighed silently in relief. He acted scared when Connor came in like all the rest.

"To distract isn't there anything more entrancing than a beautiful woman singing. Not that you have ever had to be distract anyone in a positive way." Connor replied. Carmin rolled her eyes, although she would have liked to strangle him. Carmin picked the bags up that Connor threw at her feet, and followed him as he said, "Come on we gotta get em."

Carmin could hear the priest say, ”Dearly Beloved, we are gathered together here in the sign of God, and in the face of this company, to join together this man and woman…”

"Crap. Connor, do something or whatever with that pistol!" she said as he pulled out his blunderbuss. He put the blunderbuss back, and then took out his revolvers. Carmin was confused about what he was planning to do.

"..if anyone objects to this marriage, let them speak now or forever hold their peace..."
Connor then turned the corner, and shot in the air.
"Hello " he said evilishly.

Carmin was extremely confused. Why on earth would Connor just bust in and reveal himself like that? Ah well, what were they gonna do? they were pirates anyway. Carmin gave a devilish smile as she stood next to her brother.

When Molly heard a gunshot she was startled and confused as to what was going on. She turned around to see a man standing and holding revolvers. "Hello " he said in an evil manner. He was accompanied by a woman.

“Who are you and what business do you have to cause a scene here at my wedding?” Molly asked. Her face was frowned and cheeks red as a rose in anger.

Mrs. Dubois sat glaring at the man, mortified. Mr. Dubois stood to his feet and walked toward his daughter to shield her from harm. Phillip looked over the two, his eyes squinted, “Those two, their clothes, they are pirates…” Phillip said to himself in a whisper. He looked over to Selena, “Selena did you know about this?” Phillip stared at her in confusion

Selena was panisked when the wedding actually began, Luke couldn't go through with it, he was too much of a romantic to leave that girl. When she heard the shots of the Captain, she knew that the real fun was starting.

Then Phillip leaned over to her, and said. "Selena did you know about this." And obviously she couldn't tell the truth. "What!? Oh my God, Phillip, why on earth would you think that, because I tried to bring some culture to this human discrace on our territory. You know, just don't even talk to me." She stated and moved over slightly, she didn't want to explode on him, but she couldn't risk him getting hurt, he was another merperson. She and the Captain had done this before, she would be all scared and ask why they came and he would take her 'hostage' and that way they made a clean escape.

"What are you doing here. Leave now, sea vulture. This is a wedding, although you have probably never been around class, please just leave before someone gets hurt." She yelled at the Captain, she did love this bit they did.

Connor

Connor smirked as the man tried to shield the bride. “Who are you and what business do you have to cause a scene here at my wedding?” Connor burst out laughing sound particularly devilish. "Ah that, I'm here for my cabinboy, oh and possibly a few other hostages. " he said pulling out two things of rope. He threw one over Mr. Dubios into Luke's hands and the other he took. He scanned for a moment then laid eyes on Selena. "What are you doing here. Leave now, sea vulture. This is a wedding, although you have probably never been around class, please just leave before someone gets hurt." she said and Connor smirked on the inside. She was crazy and he wasn't too far off it worked perfectly. "You bloody sea wench. " he said then grabbed her and quickly tied the rope around her. Not a very strong knot but just enough to get it to stay on but she would still be able to take it off herself. He picked her up over his shoulders and began to walk away. "Carmin bring the rest and Luke grab your bride too." he said the walked calmly to the ship a revolver still smoking in his hand while the other laid on his holster. He put Selena down the second they got on the ship and he untied the knot in seconds. "Let's hope Carmin doesn't fuck this up and were off, oh and I used Nemo hope you don't mind." he said smirking not believing what they had just done.

Luke

Luke played along with Connor's act and held the rope. He had to act fast and get Molly as he requested him to do. He bit his lower lip then acted. He shoved his elbow into Mr. Dubios' neck then swept him off his feet with one swift kick knocking him out as he hit the ground. "I'm sorry" he muttered as he put his hand around Molly's mouth then proceeded to tie her up. He then slung her over his shoulder and ran after his captain and got onboard and sat down his 'bride' on deck.

The Pirate burst out laughing sounding particularly devilish. "Ah that, I'm here for my cabin boy, oh and possibly a few other hostages. " he said pulling out two things of rope. He threw one over Mr. Dubois into Luke's hands and the other he took.

Phillip watched as the Pirate tied and picked Selena up after she had confronted him. Phillip wanted to help her but he was realizing that she might have been in on this. Her talk of previous weddings and being a part of the mysterious grooms wedding party finally made sense to him.

Molly looked at Luke with furious eyes. He husband to be was a lie. “Cabin boy?” She said to him. The coral necklace that Phillip had given her had turned black as it sensed danger however Molly had not paid it any attention.

Luke bit his lower lip then acted. He shoved his elbow into Mr. Dubios' neck then swept him off his feet with one swift kick knocking him out as he hit the ground. Molly gasped, “Daddy!”

"I'm sorry" he muttered as he put his hand around Molly's mouth.

Molly was able to slap Luke hard across the face once. Then Luke proceeded to tie her up. He then slung her over his shoulder and ran after his captain. Mrs. Dubois pulled her pistol once more and shot at Luke as he carried Molly away. She would not let him escape with her daughter if she could help it. However one of the butler’s stopped her from shooting for fear that she might hit Molly. Luke escaped, got onboard and sat down his 'bride' on deck.

She struggled still holding tightly to the wedding bouquet. “What is all of this?! WHO ARE YOU AND LET ME GO!!” Molly yelled. She would give almost anything to get at Luke and this Pirate who was attempting to kidnap her.

Back in the sanctuary Mrs. Dubois tended to her unconscious husband. “Someone please stop them!” She screamed. “Phillip do something, help Molly!!” Mrs. Dubois looked over to the merman who stood not knowing exactly what to do.

Phillip knew the other Pirate was still there but he had to go after Molly. He quickly tossed himself through the stained glass window of the sanctuary and ran toward the shore. Phillip removed several clothing articles along the way and dove into the ocean. His legs transformed back into tail and fins. He swam as fast as he could looking for any unfamiliar ships. However those that he knew all appeared to have large chunks taken out of the bottoms of them. They were sinking slowly into the water. “These look like shark bites… Could this be the work of Selena’s Nemo?” Phillip was very innocent seeming but he was also very wise. This all made sense to him now.

Selena was over-joyed, her part had gone off very smoothly, and they just needed to wait for Carmin. She was dancing on the deck of the ship, free of her fake bindings.

"That's alright, Captain. He needed the exercise. I am so happy right now." She exclaimed and did a litle waltz with the Captain, before going the the bride, Molly. "Hello, you must be the bride. I am Selena, and welcome to the greatest pirate ship in the world." She paused, laughing her head off out of excitment, "We are going to have so much fun." She practically yelled the last, before noticing her girl's necklace, it was a rare coral that changed colors based on it's enviorment, and she realized that one thing needed to be taken care of. "Captain, that guy you saw me with will try and save her, but I got it, don't worry deary, he will not die, I can't do that to a fellow merperson." She said as she easily slipped out of her dress and diving into the ocean, returning to her natural form.

She was swimming around looking for Nemo, when she realized that he would be off somewhere, doing his own thing, probably too full to hunt. She laughed a bit at her pet, and then continued on her mission. She started to sing in order to make the fish in the water go mad, and swim around frantically. This was to her advantage majorly, because she knew how to hunt her prey when they didn't know she was there.

She spotted Phillip swimming madly, through her fish. He probably had no idea she was there, but she could see him. "Come on, little guppy. Lets play." She thought to herself as she sang her fish to swarm on him.

Connor watched as the bride struggled and poor Lukie. He went by and moved back the boy. "Luke get Carmin, I'll take care of little missy here." he said picking her up and taking her down into the lower deck. He put her into a small cell and slit the rope before walking out and locking the cell. "So a little princess spoiled all her life. Gets a groom, turns out to be a pirate and look where she is now. In a cell taken from the altar and being held by a band of pirates. " He laughed. "You need stop messing with Luke's head he's fallen head over heels." he said smirking then walked out onto the deck preparing the helm for takeoff.



Luke wanted to cry when Molly started to fight him. He did have feelings for the girl but she obviously didn't see it all she saw was an evil pirate. "Luke get Carmin, I'll take care of little missy here." Luke nodded then grabbed a pistol and ran off the ship. He quickly found the girl then saw her fighting with a harpy. He quickly took aim and shot it in the arm then grabbed two bags. "Hurry up" he said then dashed back to the ship loot in hand.

Molly Vanessa Dubois

"Hello, you must be the bride. I am Selena, and welcome to the greatest pirate ship in the world." She paused, laughing her head off out of excitement, "We are going to have so much fun." She practically yelled the last. "Captain, that guy you saw me with will try and save her, but I got it, don't worry deary, he will not die, I can't do that to a fellow merperson." She said as she easily slipped out of her dress and diving into the ocean.

Molly’s eyes were watery. She felt helpless and all she could do at the moment was watch as the mayhem unfolded as a captive. “Oh Phillip please be careful… God I pray you protect him.” Molly whispered to herself.

"Luke get Carmin, I'll take care of little missy here." Connor the pirate said picking Molly up and taking her down into the lower deck. He put her into a small cell and slit the rope before walking out and locking the cell. "So a little princess spoiled all her life. Gets a groom, turns out to be a pirate and look where she is now. In a cell taken from the altar and being held by a band of pirates. " He laughed. "You need stop messing with Luke's head he's fallen head over heels." he said smirking then walked out onto the deck.

Molly grasped the bars of the cell. “ME MESSING WITH HIS HEAD?! Who lied and stole from WHOM? Huh?!” Molly yelled as the Pirate walked off. “You don’t know a thing about me to make moral judgments!!!” Molly was so angry. How dare he call her spoiled. She hated that word being applied to her for she always acted just the opposite. Molly tried desperately to free herself from the cell. She removed a hairpin from her hair and began to attempt to pick the lock. “If I can just get out, get a sword in my hands and jump off this boat before we get too far I can make it home I hope.”

Phillip B. Gottschalk

Phillip was startled by the frenzied fish that began to swarm him. He began to swim madly through them but then he stopped. “This must be Selena’s doing. I won’t play into your hand young one.” Phillip thought. Phillip began to utter a Mermen chant in German, “oh große Wasser lassen Eistanz! (oh great water let ice dance!)” The fish began to freeze into thick solid blocks of ice that floated to the water’s surface. He could now see Selena in the distance. “Young one, did you not know that we Baltic Sea merfolk are called the Mermen and maidens of ice water? We can freeze things in water easily. Now where is Molly? Give her back, you and those people are pirates, you want riches and gold not a girl like Molly! Let me take her home!” Phillip pleaded with the young mermaid.

Connor smirked hearing his sister scream. "lad you came." he said calmly. He then quickly pulled out his blunderbuss and shot a harpy out of the air. "Take that Bird Brain!" he screamed before reloading then shooting another. "Ha ha, prepare off." he shouted then hoisted the bridge before taking off into the sea. He started to shoot them out of the air. "Luke make sure little miss stays in her cell." he yelled.



Luke nodded. "Aye aye sir." he said then ran down after getting off one more shot downing a guard. He walked down into the brig and sighed looking at Molly. He pulled a bucket over and sat on it sighing then looked at her sighing. "I I'm sorry we had to take you and me leaving you at the altar in a way." he said ashamed. He wasn't good with woman especially since he did kind of like the girl

Carmin was surprised that there were more harpies. She realized that half of the guards seemed to be humans, while the other half seemed to be harpies. Carmin didn't really mind though. She shot them out of the air, and they fell into the blue, choppy water. Falling into the water must have been torcher, since Selena seemed to be doing CRAZY things in there.

When all the harpies and guards were gone, Carmin fell over unto the deck, exhausted. She looked up at the orange sunset sky as she said, "whew......we did it. We're DONE. THANK GOODNESS."

She got up, and started to pay close attention to the water. She asked her brother, "whaddaya think Selena's doing down there, anyway?"

Connor

Connor smiled as the last of them disappeared. "whaddaya think Selena's doing down there, anyway?" Connor shrugged then went over to the edge. "Not sure hope she gets out alright." he said then walked back to the mast. He steered them all further away from the damned island and soon his plan would be complete, and they would get away filthy rich even though his sister managed to lose a bag or two.

Luke

“Well, what do you want from me now? You have my money. You’ve had your laughs, and share of bloodshed. What more do you want? Why do you dare to look sad? I’d expect you and your ignorant crew to be pretty pleased with themselves. You’ve been as quiet as a clam since I first met you. Well say something for once!” Luke sighed "I I do not know why captain wants to keep you here but if it wasn't here I wouldn't keep you here." he said looking down. He was ashamed of himself. He wanted to kiss her but he knew if he even relativity looked at her she would want to kill him.

Carmin shrugged, and as she heard a strong song that seemed to echo all around the sea, she ran up to the edge of the ship. She tried to look through the water, but she couldn't see anything. She knew it wasn't Selena's voice who sang the song, so she was a bit worried. Was Selena okay? Carmin hated to think about it, since the two of them had a small rivalry, but Selena was an important asset to the team. Before Carmin could call out to Selena, a strong gust of wind blew her away from the edge, and before she knew it, she couldn't escape from the grip of the harpy that was binding her.

"WHERE THE HELL DID YOU COME FROM?!?!" Carmin shouted to Raymon.
"Harpy? Remember? I flew up to the edge of the ship." He said, smirking. Carmin could see that he had wrapped up his bullet wound.
Raymon started to shout over to Connor, saying, "Release Molly Dubois. Now. If you refuse..." He pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Carmin's head,
"I shoot. Anybody draws a gun, I shoot. I don't want the jewels or anything else. All i ask for is Molly."
Carmin struggled to break free, but she could feel his grip getting tighter.
"Then again, maybe you should draw a weapon. That way, when i shoot her, i can claim all that bounty she's worth, and Priodas will be even richer than before." He gave a somewhat twisted smile after he said this.

Carmin looked behind her. If there was any time Selena would come in handy, now would be the time.

Connor

Connor was about to pull out a gun using his faster shit but he was stopped by Selena jumping out and latching onto the harpy. He leaned over the edge. "Give em Hell Selena" he yelled enthusiastically. He was concerned about her but he knew she would most likely be fine considering he had a bird in her grasp. She had the obvious advantage. "Be careful" he whispered to himself.

Luke

Luke listened to the girl. “You know you didn’t have to hurt my papa like that. He’s a gentle soul and genuinely liked you.” Luke looked up slightly. At least she believed that he wasn't as forceful as the others.“So the captain wants me here? I wonder when he’ll make his intentions known then. Gosh if he wanted to meet me he could have just spoken with me, I’m an approachable person. You at least look like you have a shred of a conscience. Why don’t you tell me what’s going on exactly. I would like to hear what you have to say to me.” Luke sighed and looked up trying to clear his thought so he could figure out what it was. "Okay we were trying to rob your island as you know. " he bit his bottom lip in shame before he continued. "Captain Teach decided the best way to do this would be to have the cabin boy. " he pointed to himself. " Marry the loveless Princess. That way the whole island would be distracted long enough for him and his sister to get in and take the treasure then take me back and escape silently." he sighed wondering if he should mention his own feelings but decided to keep them locked up. "I'm not sure why he took you but if it was me I wouldn't put you through any more Hell than you've gone through already." he said sympathy in his voice.

As Selena attacked Raymon, feathers flew everywhere as the harpy flapped his wings to try to shake the mermaid off. Once she got his arm though, he was practically defeated as the pain struck through his body.

Once Carmin was free of the harpy's bonds, her face turned red with anger, and she shouted, "THIS IS FOR FOLLOWING ME YOU STALKER!!!"
and she kicked him hard in the face. This knocked Raymon out cold.

"Woah woah woah, take it EASY girl..." Carmin said as she dragged the mermaid off Raymon's body. Carmin then turned to Connor.
"Alright. Not sure if i would try to kill this guy or not. Apparently, harpies are stronger than humans, and i think he would be much more resistant to bullets than anything else." Carmin looked at the harpy on the deck, his face scratched up, and his white wrap now red with blood.

"I don't think we'd wanna make him walk the plank either, because uh....DUR, he has wings. SOOOOooooo.... i think our best option is to lock him up. I mean, hey, he's the one who wanted to see miss princess molly or whatever her name is....."
Carmin started to walk over to Connor, her hands on her hips.
"Sooooo...yes. What do you think we should do, brother? you're the captain, not me."
